People on this website are really acting like "she/they" means girl nonbinary (usually with implications of "AFAB who wears dresses") and "he/they" means boy nonbinary (with implications of "AFAB who wears a binder/has short hair") and it's really fucking bothering me as a genderfluid pronoun anarchist so can we stop and realise, AGAIN, CONSTANTLY, that pronouns do not equal gender NOR presentation, nor are they necessarily reflective of someone's AGAB, and can we just. Stop. And think about what we are saying.

And most of this post doesn't even touch on the erasure of amab nonbinary people in the tumblr collective consciousness or whatever. When you imagine your she/theys and your he/theys remember that those pronouns can apply to anyone regardless of agab and regardless of presentation and for fucks sake stop trying to make everything into a binary! You've recreated the binary gendered associations with pronouns that I thought we were trying to culturally depart from, at least in queer spaces, and erased so many people in doing so. Stop! Just stop trying to think of a stereotype for a set of pronouns! Why do you need this so bad?

stop fucking using the word psychotic to describe bad behaviour and violence already god fucking damn it

YALL ITS A NATIONAL HOLIDAY

I think it’s very weird that when one country is criticized y’all tend to be like “oh well my country we would never —” uhh YES in your country too, that’s how states work? Y’all talking about people living in China or the US not knowing their history because the bad parts aren’t taught well in school: sure!!! But I know many people from Belgium who know next-to-nothing about the genocide in the Congo, from the Netherlands who say all their colonies were only trading posts, from Thailand who say that the indigenous people in their country have been and are treated fine only they don’t make an effort to be Thai, from Portugal who will tell you about what an amazingly positive force they were in their… territories, from Czechia who will tell you their country holds no responsibility for treatment of the Roma—but also it was and is justified; all were taught these things in school.

My point isn’t “other countries do this too so it doesn’t matter!!” No! My point is that every single state commits and covers up atrocities in some way. There is no ethical state.

American liberals especially seem to have a tendancy to think that there is a Good and Perfect state and we must only find it and imitate it and then our problems will be fixed. But trust me: it doesn’t exist, (and it’s certainly not in Europe??). We must create our own systems, and have the courage to change those, too, when we see their flaws.
