Every Few Years There’s A Shift In The Discourse Where Someone Decides That There’s A Group Of Queers

Every few years there’s a shift in the discourse where someone decides that there’s a group of queers who aren’t “really” queer and for reasons unknown decided that they will focus all of their discourse on trying to discredit that one group.

It used to be “straight passing” bisexuals. Then it was “Theyfabs” and “transtrenders”. Then it was “hetero aces.” Now it’s “transmisogyny-exempt” people. And the thing you find every time is that the people writing angry multi-paragraph screeds about how these “invaders” are “stealing resources” or “silencing people” but they can never actually point to more than one or two examples, at best, of this happening.

But if you repeat something enough with a strong enough conviction in your voice, people will pretty much always be willing to think you’re right, even when you aren’t.

This is the basis of fascism. Exclusionary rhetoric is fascist. No one is immune to this thought process. You have to actively work on avoiding it.

“Did you just call me a fascist because I’m concerned with TME people silencing trans women” i mean, yeah. I did. Fix yourself, and I’ll be willing to talk to you again. I won’t apologize for what I said, mind you. But you can always fix yourself.

I used to think like that. I used to talk about how you “need dysphoria to be trans” and how bi people can “pass as straight” and how trans men “take up our space.” And I was wrong about all that.

There’s enough space in the queer community for everyone. We are always stronger when we understand this. Please, look towards unity rather than division. Fix yourselves.

Being wrong doesn’t make you a bad person. Changing your views is not evidence of weakness. Your friends will still live you if you change. Please.

Anyone with a milk allergy needs to be on high alert. In the midst of a flurry of ongoing food recalls, the FDA has updated its initial recall of a handful of Cal Yee Farms' chocolate products to the highest risk level. Originally, the FDA announced a recall of numerous Cal Yee Farm products because they may have contained undeclared milk, soy, wheat, sesame, FD&C #6, and/or almonds. The recall has now been elevated by the FDA to the most serious level of recall, Class 1, for only a few of the affected products: the company's dark chocolate almonds, dark chocolate apricots, and dark chocolate walnuts because the chocolates contained undeclared milk.

SOOOOO funny when you’re having a strong emotion and your logical brain KNOWS you’re overreacting but you literally can’t do anything about it.

what sucks about being fat and having the inevitable internalized fatphobia is that you end up feeling guilt from both sides at once. You're having a real dysphoric day and you start to feel bad about your weight and the moment you do the guilt hits, 'cause you know you "shouldn't" feel bad about it, and it becomes this really frustrating cycle of being mad at yourself for being fat and mad at yourself for being upset about being fat and it just sucks.

there's something uncomfortable about western millennials/gen z's deep obsession with watering Studio Ghibli movies down into "wholesome bean comfort flicks aesthetic uwu japan" when half of these people completely miss the point of these films and the complex nuanced topics they deal with, especially when it comes to post war Japan.

every few months we rehash egg discourse on here despite the explanations for how the systems at play effect misgendering a trans vs a cis person, despite people saying it wouldve helped them pre-transition if anybody had just made it clear it was an option, despite the kneejerk reactions of disgust being clear displays of transmisogyny and transphobia. we rehash egg discourse because somebody thinks theyre going to add a new perspective that hasnt been stated before, when in reality its been argued against time and time again. we rehash egg discourse because this website is obsessed with finding some consistent way to tear down trans women and trans fems in order to prop up their ideal gender non-conforming cisgender man who will never criticize how you feel or talk about him. it feels like banging your head on a fucking wall
