This Is Such A Crazy Common Experience That You'd Think Eventually Transphobic Cis Lesbians Would Buzz

this is such a crazy common experience that you'd think eventually transphobic cis lesbians would buzz off about this. I guess not

Whenever I think about that new trending song (can't remember the artist but it's like "standing face to face with I told you so!")

I'm reminded of how I IDed as a transmasc/butch lesbian and I felt super happy and connected and stuff, but was driven away from the community by cis lesbians, and how now, no matter how much I miss and love and connect to the lesbian label, I'll never feel safe or welcome in those spaces again, so I stay away to protect myself lol.

They insisted I was "just a man" or a "confused trans man" or something bc I take T. I am agender.

It also sucks bc my parter is transmasc nonbinary and feels the same, but after watching what happened to me, doesn't want to bother with the community, either.

im only a man when im a grown ass man and im only a woman when god forbid women do anything

any time other than that? im a fucking Echidna

genuinely so funny to me how Emily fr just ripped off the whole flag so now her version - which is literally just flipped, how unoriginal - is seen as THE lesbian flag. she's like some lesbian messiah to people for creating THE flag, and it's not even her design. you can't just flip someone else's creation and call it your own💀

@butchspace I loooooove your orange butch flag. and i thought it’d be cool to splice together the lipstick lesbian & orange butch flag. as well as add the More Color More Pride stripes.

and mod T from butchspace suggested a great idea of having the white stripe symbolize those who dont ID as femme or butch.

 i think this combo would be a great flag for the general lesbian community. i always see the lipstick femme flag used as the default for the lesbian community on tumblr. which is an act that treats femininity as the default, and makes butches feel left out and ignored.

So much of what society treats as a joke is just mocking disability. Their idea of lazy is a disabled person trying to survive, whether that be living with their parents as an adult or using pre prepared food. Cringe culture is based entirely around mocking neurodivergent people and their interests. Symptoms and characteristics of disability such as urgency issues, drooling, tremors, tics, strabismus and speech impediments are used as cheap punchlines.

In children’s tv shows disabled characters such as those with speech impediments are treated as a joke, with symptoms of disability being portrayed as synonymous to stupid.

This idea is being taught from a young age in the media and it’s engrained into our language and culture. This goes beyond jokes, it contributes to the alienation of people with disabilities.

Once you start noticing these things you realise how constant and normalised it is.

Reducing an entire person to a punchline is wrong. Using a disability symptom as an insult is wrong. It’s disturbing how normalised it is to not treat people with basic decency and respect.

And if the a-specs don't feel any type of love or attraction people have issues with that too

The queer community can't even accept masculinity

"we need more weird queers!!"

you start parroting TERF talking points the milisecond someone says they are a lesboy or gaygirl

you cry when mspec lesbians/gays exist

you refuse to use neopronouns or it/its, even when those are a persons only set of pronouns

you expect a-specs to experience attraction in some way (yes, that includes platonic attraction)

you exclude intersex people

you can't even accept furries.
