The ironic paradox of biphobia and lesbophobia is that lesbophobia will have you believe society wants you to be bi and biphobia will have you believe society wants you to be lesbian. The reality is that society does not want you to be lesbian or bi; that society only wants you to be straight, but will not hesitate to use other identities against you. If that means tricking you into believing your closest allies occupy a higher social standing than you and wish to keep you beneath them in the same way the straights do to them, then so be it. It’s not even divide and conquer, its recruiting us to do their own bidding and ridding them of us in the process. Heterosexuals as a class do not prefer lesbians to bisexuals or bisexuals to lesbians, thought individually each one might have differing opinions on which are most or least acceptable.

Attempting to convince you that bi privilege or monosexual privilege exists is an intended to shift our arms towards our allies instead of our oppressors.

Okay but when are we going to shut up about privilege discourse. It literally doesn't matter as much as you think it does that cis gay people have cis privilege or straight trans people have straight privilege, we're a community. They're still oppressed under homophobia or transphobia and its subsets. You're picking fights within the community when the real people who've been fucking us over are cis hets. Come on now.

gay trans men do not get to be “stereotypically” or “flamboyantly” gay like cis gay men are. if a gay trans man were interested in things such as fashion, drag, shopping, or traditionally “feminine” behavior that cis gay men partook in, he would face backlash. trans men are forced to perform hypermasculinity in an attempt to prove their transness and any deviation from that is seen as them being “not really trans”. so if a gay trans man were to be effeminate or “stereotypically” gay, he would face transphobia send tweet

its time 2 stop basing your respect for trans people on how much they resemble a cis person!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it’s time to stop!!!!!!!!!!! you may do this even if you don’t think you do!!!!! and its time to stop ! ! ! ! trans people are not only attractive or acceptable if they appear cis to you!

people need to stop throwing around the word privilege so carelessly. yes there are things that can be ADVANTAGEOUS (being in an m/f relationship where neither party is trans or gender nonconforming or at least not visibly so, being gay and single/closeted, etc.) like. there are so many different ways in which lgbt people can fly under the radar relatively okay. but that doesnt give them "privilege" because privilege implies a level of power over another group.

exactly! thank you anon!

nonpassing gay trans men are not straight girls, they are men attracted to men. their sexuality isn’t predatory, and they are as much of a man as anyone else!!

............ talking to children about sex in a non-educational setting and showing interest in a childs libido is peek pedophilia but go off I guess.

This is for all the exclusionists who claim asexuality is bad because it’s inherently about sex. The irony is that as a sex-repulsed asexual, I have a more postive view of sex than exclusionists who make fun of ace people for not liking sex.

[Image description: A guy looks in a chest and says, “I’ve finally found it… after fifteen years. The scroll of truth!” The scroll of truth says, “Claiming asexuality is bad for children because it’s inherently about sex implies you think sex is bad”. The guy throws away the scroll]

Just a reminder to trandsmeds to stop drawing transmen as hyper-feminin stupid teenagers and trying to claim that their appearance means they’re not trans! You’re ugly and hate yourself we know but you really don’t have to shit on trans people like this! It’s also extremely telling how you ALWAYS portray these “trans-trenders” as trans men or nb afab people because we’re Obviously just over emotional women who want attention :)

if you want to argue about the validity of someones identity and whether someone needs dysphoria to be trans or not at least do it respectfully you pigs.

Being cis literally has nothing to do with anything you just said. You can experience misogyny and be oppressed for being a cis woman while also being a cis oppressor to trans people, in the same way as someone can suffer from homophobia while also being an oppressor to POC. Its Not That Deep. Your "oppression points" don't negate your inherent oppressive status while your oppressor status does not negate the oppression you face.

the reality of being a woman - the spiritual and sexual violence, the extreme expectations put on my body presentation and mannerisms, the baseless assumptions about my intelligence and emotional desires - literally make me suicidal, but i was assigned womanhood at birth and i’ve never identified differently. am i cis? what does cis mean then

🤔🤔🤔

listen you don’t. have to say. “sometimes gay people can be bad people” like. we KNOW that.

no one actually believes that every gay person is an angel or w/e. like yeah there are posts like “i love all the gays” and shit on tumble.com but please use critical thinking skills no one actually believes that every single lgbt person is 100% good.

im using lesbians as an example bc thats what post i just saw that made me want to write this was about but like. lesbians (and all lgbt people too of course) are told constantly that we ARE bad people. that we ARE abusers. that we ARE rapists. that we ARE disgusting. so when someone says something like “to all my lesbian followers- you are not those things” you should never. EVER. say “but you can be” bc that is entirely missing the point.

why saying “trans men are men” as a dismissive statement comparing them to cis men is harmful:

i was first wolf-whistled at 11 years old by a man in a passing car, and was frightened and sick to my stomach. the creeping, sickening dread that comes with realising men are beginning to see you as an object for consumption is terrifying. walking down a dark street with keys between my fingers, being touched suggestively by drunk men at social gatherings, consoling my childhood friend after she was sexually assaulted and trying to help her find the confidence to press charges - these were things i had experienced firsthand through having a “girl’s” childhood and adolescence.

6 months into hormone replacement therapy i continue to experience misogyny firsthand from those who perceive me in my day to day as a masculine woman. i experience homophobia both from those who perceive me (incorrectly) to be a butch lesbian and those who perceive me (correctly) to be a gay man. i experience transphobia from those who can place me as a trans man, who see my high waist and hint of breasts and pubescent stubble and hear a mans voice from my mouth. even when i pass as a man completely i have to be on edge, i cant speak to a cishet man without worrying that he will take issue with however he could interpret my appearance and confront it, potentially violently.

i am a man, but i was brought up as a girl, and that has intimately shaped the way i experience and portray masculinity. denying what i experienced growing up as a “girl” would be essentially denying things that made me into the person i am today. trans men are men, yes, but its a completely different experience of manhood, and equating it to a cishet male experience is not only objectively wrong but also harmful, as it ignores the struggle, isolation & marginalisation that comes with being a trans man

Ok let’s say gays go to hell. I guess that aces don’t go to hell because they don’t really do bad stuff (or anything at all). But I don’t wanna be stuck with all the straight homophobes? Could you please ask Satan if I (or better we) could join you sometimes ? I’ll bring cake I promise!

tumblr discourse made me a giant fuckin lesbophobe tbh lmao

[meowcorse]

gay as a ‘slur’: original meaning was happiness or cheerfulness, got adapted to mean sga men or ppl for over 200 years, then, bc if that affiliation, homophobic society used it as a negative word

queer as a slur: originally meant odd or strange and then was adapted to harass lgbt ppl bc they were seen as odd or strange, then some small circles “reclaimed” it

Queer started as a slur; gay did not. You can never fully REclaim something that was never claimed

[meowcorse]

i dunno if this is like a hot take or whatever but cis lgbp people will always have more in common with trans people (yes even straight ones) than they will with cis straight people. the gender classes of “man” and “woman” are inherently tied to heterosexuality by a heteronormative society; a man with a man is seen as “less” of a man by heteropatriarchal society, same as a woman with a woman. society will always question if gay people “really are” their gender, because homophobia is inextricable from transphobia, and vice versa. this is (one reason) why many cis gay ppl feel disconnected from their gender, and even experience dysphoria, while still being cis.

so like, arguing that cis lgbp people shouldnt use “cishet” because its implying theyre oppressed by cis people is so stupid. a cishet will still oppress a cis lgbp person because of their gender identity too, because transphobia and homophobia are one and the same. (i will say its not the same or on the same level as outright transphobia, but like i said, homophobia is inextricable from transphobia, so both things do impact every lgbt person)

Reminder that including all aces in the lgbt+ community doesn’t mean that all aces will want to participate

Many cishet aces aren’t interested in being a part of the lgbt+ community

Many cishet aces consider themselves more of allies to the lgbt+ community

Either is fine, cishet aces should be allowed to participate and identify as they wish without being pressured in either direction

This doesn’t mean that those that do should be denied a thriving community and resources
