The queer community is full of hurt people.

This can lead to a knee-jerk reaction when we hear someone else say "I am hurt". We look at them and say "shut up, you're not as hurt as me because you have X privilege".

This leads to femme afab queers being told "you can pass and hide as cishet, you're not as hurt as queer women who look queer, you're just complying with the patriarchy's ideals for beauty, you're hurting the queer community, you're anti feminist."

It leads to masc afab people, whether trans men or nonbinary or genderqueer etc, being told everything from "you're not as hurt, you can pass as a cis man" to "you have no desire to transition, you still look like a girl, shut up".

It leads to trans amab people who are nonbinary or genderqueer or agender etc, who still dress or look "masculine", being told that they are "unsafe" for queer spaces, that they don't belong at a "women and nonbinary meeting", that they are "basically just cis men trying to escape accountability".

It leads to asexuals being told "you don't even feel sexual attraction, the thing we're ostracized for! how could you possibly be oppressed? You're just straight and a prude" and aromantics being told "you're just straight and like casual sex, get over yourself" and both being told "you're just a cishet who wants to steal resources".

I have heard every single kind of queer person say "I have been harmed and ostracized by the queer community". Lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and mspec people, trans people, aroace people - every single one of us has expressed feeling ostracized by our own community.

On the plus side, this means you're not alone. Your group isn't the only one facing this. You have allies!! Other queer people who have gone through what you've gone through!

We need queer unity. We need to stop attacking each other. If you feel the urge to say "shut up, my group has been hurt MORE", go take a walk. Remember that every single one of us has been hurt.

You know the problem with reading a book? You get hooked and then it ends and you feel sad

i just think. the internet is a place

my favourite type of poster on here—unironically—is the subgroup of people who make long informed thoughtful and obviously passionate analytical posts detailing the various discourses of their media of choice in relation to theory texts or adjacent literary traditions with all the gumption and sincerity and breadth of knowledge of, like, shakespeare scholars; except, and this is the most crucial element, the media of choice has to just kind of suck, like, at least a bit

Tumblr is the only place I know where someone will post a meme and someone will reblog it with a whole-ass dissertation on why the meme is funny

honestly the funniest thing about the tumblr manscaped ads is that a company with "man" in its name selling a product for shaving your cock and balls decided to run a massive inescapable ad campaign on not only the social media site with the smallest male population, but also the only social media site where the majority of male users do not have testicles
