we're corvid , welcome to our page ^^

this is meant for posting thoughts + opinions and not intended to be a discourse account , but who are we to deny someone an argument if they want to start one ?

in other words if someone's gonna be an ass then we're gonna be tit for tat. if you're looking for an argument we'll give you one.

we're bodily seventeen , audhd , physically disabled + chronically ill. we're an m-spec gay genderhoarder , n we're nonhuman.

no dni since we're almost always open to hearing other ppl's opinions on what we post , but we have no issues with blocking ppl if we need to.

an open letter to parents against queer inclusive education being in the curriculum ;;

to the people who are harassing the teacher leading the gsa, you say you’re worried about morality, but where’s the morality in hurting a pregnant woman who’s been struggling? you’re no saint for using hate when we just want to be able to love.

to the cishet parents who don’t want their kids exposed to homosexuality, you’ve had every chance to ignore and avoid acknowledging the fact that queer people exist, you can look at almost any media and have it immediately cater to you. i have to dig for books that i can relate to. love, simon isn’t a catchall queer book, it’s not just something you can use as a method of deflection. it shouldn’t feel like a wild goose chase trying to find a book with a trans* protagonist.

to people who quote the 42% like it’s a law, you are the reason the rate is so high.

to parents who act like letting kids transition is child abuse or some kind of brainwashing, i was just as trans before i started any kind of transition as i am now, almost two years on hrt. here's the thing, my identity hasn't changed. my understanding of it has. when i was a kid i'd wonder if there was some kind of in-between girl and boy because i knew i wasn't a girl, but i didn't think i could be a boy. and then i learned what being trans meant, and suddenly not only did i have a label to put to my experiences, but i had a community. i was no longer an outlier.

to people who tell me that they no longer want to be fueled by spite, you have the privilege of making that choice. if i'm not fueled by spite i'm not fueled by anything, because love can only get me so far against blind hatred.

i want every lawmaker, every politician, every voter, every petitioner, every parent, every organization leader, every private supporter, every public supporter, every person who’s advocating to make allowing kids to transition child abuse, i want each of them to look me in the eye and tell me that i do not deserve to feel safe wearing the clothes i want, that i should not be allowed to feel comfortable in my skin, that i shouldn’t have to worry about applying for refugee status, that every knock on the door could be child protective services coming to take my parents, that i don’t deserve the best life i can have, that if i’m taken i’ll might be forcefully de-transitioned, that my mental health regressing to where it was when i went to two hospitalizations back to back is worth it because at least my parents aren’t brainwashing me anymore, that trans kids should not be allowed to have the luxury of self-confidence in their gender that cis kids take for granted.

i want to put a face to the amalgamation that is “trans youth”. i want them to personally own up to what they’re pushing for in front of someone they’re acting against. and if all of them can tell me that, i want to burn this whole country to the ground.

People actually talk about us like we aren't real people. It's so disgusting.

Binary people will sit around and talk about the psychological reasons why "all these kids are claiming to be non-binary or catgender or autismgender these days."

Abled people will sit around and talk about how there are "delusional" people "denying science" and "making a mockery of people with real disorders."

Humans sit around and talk about how "cringe" alterhumans are and berate our communities for "enabling delusions."

The role ableism plays in so many other areas of bigotry is massive. It's ridiculous. Bigots don't view us as real, actual people that exist and have feelings they should care about. There are so many people out there who, if they read this post, would completely dismiss my words just because I'm neurodivergent. We're either demonized or infantilized and so-called """normal""" people think we're too "sick" to understand our identities. How sickening is that?
