I get the feeling (note: gut feeling, so take this with a massive grain of salt since I don't have sources, just a feeling) that lots of this might come from within the LGBT community in some weird 'oppression olympics' 'I can't be bigoted I'm [insert marginalized community here]' beliefs.

Just because you think that a different marginalized community is less oppressed than you doesn't mean they're not valid (operative word here is think!!), and it definitely doesn't mean that you should...create more of the oppression and hostility that you think (or just claim) they don't experience????

Ace people are valid, real, and also seem to experience so much bullying from people who should be their allies (I think that's why it's been bad here on tumblr). Marginalized communities should stick together, not...marginalize each other more.

"tbh we might have clowned on [aros & aces] a lil too harshly" bigotry. the term you're looking for is bigotry. denying communities their vocabulary and ability to safely exist because you think you're the personal arbiter of which identities are "valid" is bigotry. minimizing and infantilizing and harassing entire groups of people based on their orientation is bigotry. aphobia isn't some forgettable phase of being cringe as a teenager, it's bigotry that inflicted long term damage to these communities.

My Chinese birth ancestors, to my adoptive German and Italian ancestors: she was born in our land and studies the pen and the Tao though she is not a leader nor the daughter of one! And she uses a wonderous abacus called a calculator!

My Italian ancestors, elbowing them out of the way: you guys threw her out of your country, she's ours. Look how she knows how to argue! And look at that! Air conditioning! Even in a climate so like Sicily she's always comfortable!

My Italian great aunt, who worked in a textile mill all her life: she owns a sewing machine but does not need to make her own clothes! Nor does she spin fabric!

My German ancestors, vibrating: WHAT IS A STAR ANISE AND HOW DID SHE GET IT

My Chinese birth ancestors, smugly: see? She still knows the flavors of her birthland.

A small contingent of female ancestors from all regions my family and I hail from, clutching each other and weeping with joy: SHE GETS TO STUDY SCIENCE! AND THE MEN DON'T STOP HER!

My ancestors, watching me dump an entire stick of cinnamon, two cloves, an allspice berry, and a generous grating of nutmeg into my tea, sweetened with white sugar and loaded with cream, while I sit in my clean warm house surrounded by books, 25+ outfits for different occasions, and 6 pairs of shoes, in a building heated so well I have the windows open in mid-autumn:

Our daughter prospers. We are proud of her. She has never labored in a field but knows riches we could not have imagined.

the idea of a privileged trans paradise, especially within the United States, is an absolute lie. There are places where violence is more likely and less likely, depending on the population size and political/cultural breakdown, but you can be killed for being trans in New York or Portland. You can be harassed or denied treatment or fired or evicted for being trans in Seattle or Los Angeles. Your legal ability to defend yourself against this will differ but the harm done to you will not change. Protection of trans people is less about where you are and more about who you're with. Trans people and queers in general have had to protect one another in a hostile world for decades. With the liberalization/capitalization of trans and queer spaces and greater dependence on online communities came a breakdown of this survival community. That's why we have shit like Plume eating up the airwaves with their subscription based bullshit giving you info you could've gotten at the local queer/trans support group before it disbanded. Isolation is your greatest weakness. No matter where you are or how safe you feel, get a fucking crew, people you're friends with or just people in the area who will have your back. Get each other's numbers, stay in contact, and ANSWER THE CALL WHEN YOU GET IT

Voters in both England and France just used tactical voting, and voted for candidates they didn’t necessarily love to ensure that the unacceptable candidate would lose. And kept the unacceptable party from taking power.

Like. In the last four days, both of those elections happened.

The left wing alliance in France saw LaPen’s party winning in the first round of voting and hated that so hard that 138 of their candidates who were in third place — and could have split the vote — dropped out, and told their voters to vote for the one that would stop the RN from taking control.

It worked.

People in the UK went aggressively tactical. The Labour Party has turned to be much much more centrist in the last five years. Got voted for anyway, because it got the Tories out.

It worked.

I don’t know if Biden will stay in. I don’t know it’s the right choice for him to stay or go. As interested as I am in politics, this is an incredibly complex thing and one of the most important decisions of the decade.

But y’all. Don’t care how that goes. We’re voting to prevent the fascists from winning.
