TW: Caps, Truscum, Ace Exclusion, Discourse (??)

TW: Caps, truscum, ace exclusion, discourse (??)

It is absolutely appalling to me that the cesspool that is the truscum subreddit is still alive and well. Don't get me wrong, some of the people seem like fine individuals... at least from my (very) limited knowledge. But others? Holy shit, bro. It didn't take very long to find some sort of exclusionary post; this one in particular claimed that 'saying ace people are part of the LGBT community is like saying atheists are a religious group' and... wow. That is an INCREDIBLY idiotic take, and I'm not going to explain why due to the assumption that everyone reading this has a functioning brain.

It's like they think being any type of queer is all about oppression and pain, and anyone they deem to not experience an adequate amount of it isn't queer. We've seen this with the tucute shit, so tell me why I'm even remotely surprised that at least a few people who consider themselves truscum are aspec exclusionary as well. It makes my head hurt.

Exclusion does nothing the further LGBTQ rights and acceptance, all it does is victimize more people! Making yourself 'one of the good ones' does absolutely nothing! Making other queer people feel like shit does NOTHING to solve the real issue, which is the fact that there are STILL queerphobic people in the world! The fact that there are people OLDER THAN ME who can't grasp that fact is so upsetting to me.

hyperempathetic | hypoempathetic

flags for those who experience high empathy and low empathy! the top and bottom stripes are blended from my neurodivergent flag (the top one is indigo and green together, the bottom is gold and red together), as there are a vast number of neurodivergencies that can cause high/low empathy and i wanted a simple way to be inclusive of all of them. in the hyperempathy flag, i used pale blue and reddish-pink, since both are colors commonly associated with empathy, and the hypoempathy flag uses inverted versions of those colors!

(no ableism on this post. having low empathy does not mean someone doesn’t care about others. learn what these terms mean before demonizing common neurodivergent experiences.)

yall we GOTTA stop using top surgery scars as our only indication that someone is transmasc. what about the transmascs who like their tits, what about the transmascs with wide hips, and so on and so on

A tribute to the transmasc body

"a lesbian is a woman attracted to woman!" "no it's a woman exclusively attracted to women!" "no it's a woman-aligned person attracted to woman-aligned people!" "no it's a non-man attracted to non-man!!!" literally none of this matters. a lesbian is whatever a lesbian wants to be.
