Btw Dysphoria Isn't The Determining Factor Of Being - Tumblr Posts

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.
