Queer People Are Not All Fucking Activists

Queer 👏 people 👏 are 👏 not 👏 all 👏 fucking 👏 activists 👏

Stop quizzing us on queer history and asking us questions we aren’t qualified to answer about the world and about politics and about our identities

Stop trying to back us into a corner so you can justify your discrimination on the basis that we don’t know what we’re talking about or can’t “defend” ourselves to you

Stop treating every queer person that stands up and says “I want to be treated like a person” as if they’re an activist

Cut that bullshit out

Marginalised people just want to exist and be happy

I don’t know everything, and that doesn’t make me undeserving of your respect or my human rights you fucker

I don’t even owe you the stuff I do know- I still am entitled to basic fucking respect

TLDR; Queer people shouldn’t have to be historians or scientists for you to not be a fucking dick

I’m full of feelings and queer rage tonight, so here goes.

Fuck the narrative that being trans is never a choice. I chose this. I’m not some poor little boy trapped in the wrong body. I’m not some sob story wasting away. I probably would’ve been fine living my life as a woman and then I found trans people and related to them and I chose to embrace my identity and join them. I was born into my body with my gender and I will shape them with my bare fucking hands into what I want them to be.

I’m not making my identity more palatable for cis people. I chose this. I chose this and I chose to be myself and don’t you dare try to take that choice away from me.

a fools guide to not wanting to die anymore

by me, a fool who doesnt wanna die anymore 

never make a suicide joke again. yes this includes “i wanna die” as a figure of speech. swear off of it. actually make an effort to change how you think about things.

find something to compliment someone for at least 4 times a day. notice the little things about the world that make you happy, and use that to make other people happy.

talk to people. initiate conversation as often as you possibly can. keep your mind busy and you wont have to worry anymore

picture the bad intrusive thoughts in youe head as an edgy 13 year old and tell them to go be emo somewhere else

if someone makes you feel bad most of the time, stop talking to them. making yourself hang out with people who drain you is self harm. stop it.

my contribution to the tma time travel aus

future!jon, walking through a magic door into past!jon's office: *decks past!jon in the face before he can even get out a full question*

future!martin, walking out behind him, extremely unimpressed: feel better now?

future!jon, shaking out his fist: honestly? yeah, kinda

future!martin, rolls his eyes: this doesn't feel healthy

future!jon, gesturing defensively at his younger self on the floor: what? I had it coming!

Shoutout to the person who mistook my Martin for humanised Freddy Fazbear, it gave me the stupidest doodle idea.

I may doodle the whole s1 gang like this if I can fight my art block hard enough: Sasha as Chica, Tim as Foxy, and Elias as Golden Freddy.
