#non of them are cishet

[obsidian-flame]

you know i think in all this social talk about privilege we forgot that the most fundamental privilege white cishet able bodied allistic people have over the rest of us, no matter what flavor of marginalized, is that they're allowed to be human in all the ugly ways none of the rest of us are, they're allowed to have their lives fall apart, and commit crimes, and be rowdy, and act out, and blow up in positive and negative ways without it ever affecting their social group as a whole in any significant way

meanwhile any single one marginalized person carries not only the weight of their own life on their shoulders, but also the lives of thousands or millions of others marginalized in the same way, knowing that, if god forbid, they were to exist as a human in the same way, if they hit a low point, if they break a law, if they fail at achieving success in anything, if they're too loud, or too needy, or too rowdy, the consequences aren't just theirs to bear, they're passed onto every single one of that person's brothers and sisters worldwide as well

a muslim can't shoot someone without all muslims being terrorists

a gay person can't contract an STD without all gays being disease ridden

a woman can't lash out without all women being hysterical/hormonal

a disabled person can't complain about poor/non-existent accommodations without all disabled people being entitled welfare queens

a trans person can't detransition without all trans people being deluded about who they are

a black person can't shoplift a candy bar without all black people being criminals in gangs

a homeless person can't spend money on non-essentials without all homeless people being liars and thieves

a chronically ill person can't abuse pain medications without all chronically ill people being addicts

a fat person can't overeat without all fat people being gluttonous pigs

an autistic person can't melt down without all autistic people being obnoxious and annoying

an immigrant can't have their documents expire without all immigrants being illegals

an ace person can't enjoy kink without all ace people being confused

a jewish person can't be an authority figure without all jews being evil, shady world overlords

a bisexual person can't sleep around without all bisexuals being cheating promiscuous whores

i could go on and on and on

a marginalized person's life is never just our own, and what happens to us is never contained to just us, it has widespread consequences for the millions of others in our group

each one of us is socially held responsible to be perfect, live perfect, feel perfect, look perfect, etc etc lest we make our entire marginalized class "look bad" and thus deepening problems for everyone else

this, above all else, is in my opinion the fundamental, most crucial privilege that non-marginalized hold over everyone else

the privilege to just exist as you are, as a flawed, imperfect person that can do ugly things, that can experiences life's lowest lows and highest highs without scrutiny blowing back on everyone remotely similar to you

Been meaning to post this for a while now!! This are some of my first OC's :D Noche (he/they, the cat) and Poppy (she/her, the wasp), they're in a QPR <#

Their first drawing is from february 3rd 2018, so I always say that's their anniversary! I created them inspired by a youtuber I follow, and I call them and their friends my drawing oc's cause they don't really have a story lol, I just like drawing them

And i've been redrawing their first drawing every year, but skipped this last two years because I was wayyyyy too busy with art school. But!!! I finally graduated!!! So I tried again :D if you ever feel like you're not improving, just pick an old drawing you like and redraw it. It's fun and will help you see your progress <#

Old versions under the cut!!

Can't believe their seven years old already 😭 originally I kept using color pencils but honestly? I don't like them anymore, so I decided to redraw them with markers from now on. It's just more fun for me, y'know?

[snekdood]

[cunninghamchrissie]

and speaking of media literacy i need y'all to get a move on developing yours bc if i have to see someone talking about their very universal human experience and get the reply "uhm actually you have autism/adhd/childhood trauma 🫵" i'm gonna lose it

like please help me understand why you think neurotypical people don't have emotions or experiences because that's what it sounds like to me. do you think they're just empty husks walking around or

like do you see how dehumanizing that is

Exclusionist weirdos when trans, mspec, and aspec people also exist in lgbtq spaces:

God, when I get high I get so unbelievably horny. There’s nothing I want more than my partner to get me really high and then they— oh, maybe that’s a bit much to share just yet. 😘

[roocomehome]

I know they/them is an incredibly universal and widely accepted set of pronouns to use especially if u dont know someone's pronouns, but I remember seeing people say they do NOT want to be referred to as "they/them" on twt before and so now whenever I check a blog and they don't specify their pronouns, I fall to my knees in anguish like FUCKKK are my mental notes using they/them for this person gonna get leaked and am I gonna get canceled for using they/them with them... 😔

People cannot say they aren't interested in sapphic media or have 0 knowledge about it, instead they need to say:

"Is all fluffy and boring"

"Is all highschool romance"

"Is fetish for cishet incels"

"Is too sexual and pornfied"

"Is too puritanical and chaste"

"They don't know how to develop romance"

"Is too forced"

"Noncanon yuri is better than actual yuri"

"The fandom is toxic"

I can't be too mean to him because we're in the same program and we have classes together until we graduate. I don't think he will react poorly if I turn him down but also I don't wanna risk anything so. most of this is advice from my friends if you have any other ideas feel free to contribute

The degree of RAGE I feel every time I listen to an interview with and/or about a nonbinary person/character, and the interviewer just is allergic to they/them pronouns. Like. My dude. My good bitch. My brother in Christ. The whole POINT of this conversation is the enby thing. How are you failing THIS badly?!

[whenyoucomeback]

I just keep thinking about august when I had 2 nonbinary kids talking to me about how scared they were. One told me she might have to go back into the closet for safety.
