Dear Cishet People Or Parents Who Like To Make The Argument That Kids Shouldnt Explore Gender Or Sexuality

dear cishet people or parents who like to make the argument that kids shouldn’t explore gender or sexuality because “those are adult decisions”

you don’t gain the knowledge of the universe on your 18th birthday. you’re not a completely different person than you were the day before. kids and teenagers are people. they’re not just bumbling with idiocy and ignorance through life waiting for the I’ve been on this earth for about 6,570 days! moment where according to you, “they’re allowed to make that decision for themselves.” you all sound like dictators for one, and it’s damn embarrassing for two

hey you, yeah you.

look up what a queerplatonic relationship is and stop being fucking weird to people!

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

does anyone else ever have to remind themselves that they don’t have to try and adhere to the traditional standards of their assigned gender at birth because… you’re not that gender anymore?

I repeatedly think about the time that a group of 6 total gym bros smiled at me and said “such a gentleman, thank you” when I held the door for them because they were all carrying plants?

guys. GUYS. you can’t do this to me😭 I cried over it. (this was wonderful to me because I still look so much like a girl and I was in shock)

Like/reblog if you think that you don't need to medically transition to be transgender
