‘they’re not gonna respect us if we do this, if we allow this, if this happens!! blah blah blah!!”

they don’t respect us anyways!!!! hating on different sexualities and genders bc they ‘don’t make sense’ ‘it’s contradictory’ ‘you’re invalidating yourself’ or whatever isn’t gonna make the cishets hate us any less than they already do. you can try to live your life being ‘tolerable’ to people outside the community but you’re only hurting yourself by forcing yourself and others into tiny, edible, little boxes for the homophobes to digest easier. they don’t want us around no matter how ‘tame’ your identity is. your are actively, subconsciously, playing into their hands by hating your own community for being ‘to weird’ when they would rather us all fuck off.

Not (absolutely) to be petty but I think the couple I fell out with last year have just broke up.

Looking forward to see if the one I cut off as an extension of the other tries to come crawling back.

Like no mate you already dated one person willing to ignore homophobia, antisemitism and zionism cause they liked the little fantasy world it resided in, I'm not taking you back just for you to start dating another.

New annoyance, same vein.

I saw a tiktok about how people should be valuing their platonic friendships (and in this case especially over situationships) and the video itself no problems, agreed.

But there's several "you know it's [gay marriage] legal now right?"

People can have platonic friendships! Not everything needs to be romantic!

OK I swear I already went on one rant about the misuse of the term

"Lavender marriage"

But I can't find it to add to so separate post IG.

You do not WANT a lavender marriage.

Lavender marriages are for safety in a homophobic society you do not want to be hiding who you are attracted to.

What you want is a platonic or queerplatonic marriage.

And at this point I'm like 90% the reason people are misusing the terms is aphobia.

Cause what other reason would there be to ignore the important history of lavender marriages, to change their meaning to something that already has a word.

Other than because it's largely aspec people who use that word.

"That's a reach" Mate they still don't like to acknowledge the split attraction model and there's no explanation for that other than the sane thing.

The amount of energy it takes to get out of survival mode isn't talked about enough.

I do anxiety over doing big things but recently I've been having so much anxiety over just regular days out instead of simply being in work or at home.

Why is the idea of a day trip to a gun art garden an hour and a half away sending me into verbal shutdown?

Responding to the excuses ppl say when they’re “TOTALLY NOT” erasing Yelena’s aroace sexuality

- So tired of people who are “aro/ace allies” until the moment it costs them something. “We need more representation! I’m here for the aro/ace community!” until you wanna ship Yelena x Kate or Bob x Yelena, then you’re totally chill coming up with excuses like “but mcu is different from the comics…!” and erasing one of the little pieces of aro/ace rep we actually have

- “Just because Yelena is aro/ace in the comics doesn’t mean she’s aro/ace in the MCU! These are different characters!!” If Yelena was gay in the comics and they had her be straight in the MCU, you would understand why erasing minority representation is bad.

- “Aro/aces can still date!” Awesome, true. So I better see those Yelena x character fics depicting what’s like being in a sexual relationship without being sexually attracted to your partner, to show how it feels to desire a romantic relationship when to you, that means something different to typical romance, you had better show Yelena being an aromantic asexual person in a relationship. Or was this just an excuse to write her in an allosexual, alloromantic relationship and then say you aren’t erasing her sexuality?

- “Why do you care so much? Just let it go!” I care so much because it’s 2025 and aro/ace people like myself are still being ignored and mistreated by our own community. Aro/ace people have even less representation than most branches of the queer community, and the blatant erasure of one of the very few pieces of representation we DO have helps no one.

So my local queer social spot does monthly exhibitions and the current one is gender euphoria.

I'm like 99% sure one of the portraits in a piece a photographer submitted is my god sibling.

I knew between my brother, my aunts four kids and my godmothers three kids I could not be the only queer one but its the first one I've had any kind of confirmation on.

Awaiting approval to follow their Instagram but excited I may finally have someone I've known for years (in this case almost since their birth) to help out in the community, I mean they seem to of done a good job already if they heard about the shoot for the exhibition but still.
