Seriously ppl need to stop making the kinds of anti-ace/aro posts that contribute to an atmosphere where ppl will feel justified doing shit like coming into our tags posting the vilest creepy hate.
Like if you do shit like try to convince people “ace tumblr” is Evil, that aces and aros here are horrible (which is not the same as pointing out problems in our communities the way you’d, say, point out racism in the feminist community)… if you do shit like compare us to Trump or paint us as gross and annoying for speaking about our orientations, and if you act like aces/aros are bad people and an embarrassment…
Then you directly help create the atmosphere where every other week (or more often) someone will tell us they want us dead/hurt, and where ppl will send us extremely graphic threats because they hate us “uwu pure aceys”
Like holy fucking shit why do you think it’s okay to demonize us and paint aces/aros overall as some kind of threat to literally every oppressed group?? Why do I have to tell white ppl to not go around being like, “lolol ace tumblr is so antiblack omg”.
Stop treating aces and aros as though we’re worse people than everyone else and as though we’re less vulnerable than other people. Aces/aros can belong to literally any oppressed group, and also we’re people
Hey, so a blog I’ve been following for a while, @multisexualsafespace (tagging you because it’s only fair), has opened up on their stance that the community is for people who face homophobia and transphobia, and that someone attracted to multiple genders but not their own doesn’t belong in the multi community or the LGBT+ community because they don’t face homophobia. They also said some things about non binary genders that made me uncomfortable (attraction to male-aligned nb people is attraction to men), but as someone who’s cis I don’t feel like I’m in a position to say anything beyond this about it.
This is a warning to anyone, like me, who doesn’t share those views that this blog isn’t a safe space for us. Also a general warning to look through a blog thoroughly before you follow it.
(In case it isn’t clear, my stance is that anyone attracted to multiple genders is multi, and does face some marginalization/discrimination under mspec antagonism regardless of what those multiple genders are. Biphobia/any form of mspec antagonism is not a subset of homophobia and can be experienced without it, and therefore all people attracted to multiple genders belong in mspec spaces and the LGBT+ community.)
Yeah I saw the post. Mod Norah is a fucking aphobe. Also kind of exorsexist. The Oder mod that responded reads as more moderate but may still have aphobic opinions.
And in regard to what OP described above, there’s plenty in this post and this post.
I am sorry but SDV is a fucking idiot who doesn’t know a thing about queer history. Also she hates bi and trans people (unless they agree with her) and tries to paint us all as predators. Fuck anyone who supports SDV tbh.
As I get older I’m finding that a lot of the “intellectuals” I used to admire are actually just condescending and pretentious. And also realizing how much more important it is to be present, considerate, and empathetic because nobody really knows what they’re talking about and anyone who claims to know everything about anything is feeding you bs.
“When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.”
– Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel
I am also realizing that actual intellectuals make their subjects easy to understand, and faux intelectuals will attempt to baffle.
This is all good but reblogging especially for that last one.
I don’t think healthy people every really get chronic illness.
I have a friend I know from when we were both 6. She is the only person living nearby and so she saw me go from walking through limping to wheelchair on a daily basis. I keep her updated on my health even tho we rarely hang out anymore.
She was gonna come over yesterday and I had to cancel. She asked if I can’t hang out later that day. When I said i won’t feel better later, that if I feel that bad in the morning later will only get worse she got annoyed and “joked” that I’m just finding excuses. And I was surprised, she knows all about me being disabled after all? So, a bit taken aback, I told her it’s a normal thing for me.
“But you got the diagnosis now, aren’t you better?? I thought you’ll get better now”
She was honestly surprised and it made me realize a thing. They don’t get it. They don’t get that getting diagnosed only equals benefits like welfare or parking spot for us, and sometimes better pain meds but that is just like pushing luck. That it’s a forever thing. That that one day we felt good a week ago was just a bright spot and doesn’t mean we won’t need our aids anymore, cause chronic illness is not linear and will make a great comeback in next four hours, and the next good day is planned on when we’re 70.
Cause when abled people are sick, they get better. And our illness is just an excuse for them. And when we say we will never get better they think we’re being dramatic and pessimistic.
And I don’t think they’ll ever get it, cause to get it you need to live it.
And I want my friends to stay healthy and not go through hell.
This is definitely okay to reblog and abled people are encouraged to reblog cause maybe it’ll help others understand
Hello it’s me Lexa and this post is relevant again as I just had the Legit Same Talk with someone and I exhausted my number of fucks to give
Gender Hurts? You mean the book by Sheila Jeffreys debunking the trans pseudo-scientific bullshit? Here, have a pdf of it!
Sheila Jeffreys couldn’t debunk her own head out of her ass long enough to provide any kind of evidence for her arguments and Gender Hurts is full of pseudo-scientific garbage this is honestly hilarious there’s so much research discrediting her position and she doesn’t address any of it she just complains about PC censorship and the “transexual empire” like an edgy 14 year old libertarian
this is the most advanced bot I’ve ever seen
THATS A BOT????????
Lol I just wanna clarify that the bot made the original post and the person who programmed the bot saw this terf bullshit and responded to it. Python is a versatile language but I’m not nearly this good at programming in it I’m afraid.
