there is no middle ground that i can see. if just believing people about their own sexualities and identities is problematic to you, then you are supporting medical gatekeeping, you are agreeing with the straight and cis people who deny each of our identities regularly. if you donβt support medical gatekeeping, then believing peopleβs self-reported identities is your only option.
you can not pick which identities are real and which should be subject to medical scrutiny and examination. you do not have that right. you either believe us or abuse us.
cishets literally jump at the chance to use q*eer lmfao
Nah, itβs just that aphobes are so quick to call anyone they donβt like a cishet.
Like. Yβall. It literally took me FIVE FUCKING SECONDS to look up his twitter and these are the FIRST TWO THINGS YOU SEE:
But nah, heβs a cishet because he dared to use the word queer in a tweet.
Good fucking job.
i don’t want to be dismissive of everyone’s personal experiences and contexts but. Queers use the word queer. i have no idea how this could shock someone but there we go anyway
i will tell anyone who listens about how besides being a loose adaptation of the illiad, the spongebob squarepants movie is about coming out
replace every mention of βbeing a kidβ or βbeing a goofy gooberβ with βbeing gayβ and the spongebob sqaurepants movie is about a young gay man who is denied a promotion by his homophobic boss, gets drunk at a gay bar with his friend the night after and comes to work absolutely sauced, then goes on a journey to try to deny his true nature complete with scenes where he and his friend try to fit in at a masculine gay-bashing biker bar, he grows fake facial hair (a βbeardβ?) and attempts to perform hypermasculinity unsuccessfully, just before he and his friend are captured and die they come out to each other and they cry a tear in the shape of a heart which saves their lives and ride back in victory on the back of david hassellhoffβs butt and then have a glam rock musical number where they radically celebrate themselves and at this point iβm not even making changes to the metaphors here thatβs just what happens literally in the movie spongebob is gay
iβm seeing posts saying that umbrella terms like queer and mogai are bad because they harm trans women, in ways such as itβs lumping us in with our oppressors, and assuming shared identity where there is none.
which is cool and all but each one of these posts champion LGBT as the less problematic alternative, completely unironically. even going so far as bringing up the myth that weβre βan historic coalition of SGA and trans peopleβ, which iβm not going to get into what a rewrite of history that is today
itβs like the cis lgbp folk finally got around to listening to all the reasons we donβt like LGBT, only to recycle our words to justify ripping queer out of our mouths.

A series of images with subtitles showing words spoken by Miss Major Griffin-Gracy. The first images show black and white photos of the Stonewall Riots.
The first picture shows cops leading a drag queen (as identified by Getty, though this term also referred generally to trans women). The source seems to be a 1962 photo by Getty Images from a ball that took place seven years before Stonewall, and she is probably being arrested for βmasquerading and indecent exposureβ according to Getty.
The second image shows a crowd of angry people over the shoulders of two cops and a man in a suit who are facing them and holding them back, and is the only picture of the first night of the Stonewall Riots. (Wikimedia Commons copy).
The third image shows a crowd of people outside the West Side Savings Bank on the corner of Christopher Street (location of the Stonewall Inn), with a small group of cops in the foreground, on the fifth night of the Stonewall Riots. (NYT source)
The remaining images show pictures of Miss Major, a Black woman with dark grey hair wearing a pink shirt, speaking to the camera. The subtitles say:
βAnd when that Stonewall Incident happened, I was there when the fighting started. Did it change things? It did for the gay and the lesbian community. Did it change things for my transgender community? It really didnβt. Weβre the third or fourth letter in that alphabet soup thing that they have, LGBT. Well, to me, βTβ should have been first. We were there doing most of the fighting, so letβs start there.β
