it's not just about love

throughout the month of june, but especially today, on international pride day, "love is love" is being slapped everywhere. and while thats an important part of pride and we do fight for equality, seeing the queer movement being boiled down to that always hurts me. as a trans person (and also as someone on the aromantic spectrum), every single "love brings us all together!" and "everyone has the right to love!" feels more and more like a slap in the face.

every day, there's more anti trans legislation. more transgender, especially trans women and transfeminine people of color, are murdered. more trans men commit suicide. this cant be solved with love by itself.

every day, the societal gender norms are shoved down the throats of nonbinary, genderqueer, and gender nonconforming people. these people constantly suffer with not only microaggressions that discredit and invalidate their identities, their non-traditional pronouns, their expressions, but also with actual violent acts just because they dare to exist. and i won't even go into talking about the violence that intersex children are subjected to and how these bodies are made invisible. what does all this have to do with the "right to love"?

if this kind of question has never crossed your mind, i hope you take this post as an invitation to re-evaluate your role as an ally to queer people whose identity is NOT just about their relationships and who they are attracted to, romantically or sexually. what do you do to help the fight this huge part of the community?

not everything can be solved with a rainbow flag emoji.

I think venus flytraps should be intelligent and ambulatory. I think they should get into the cupboards. I think they should purr when you pet them.

choosing to allocate spoons to hanging out and having a good time at the cost of perfectly completing all your work is not a failing it is in fact an act of survival. “too sick to work = too sick to play” is in fact ableist bullshit that you don’t have to buy into. and the fact that leisure time is treated like a privilege is a fucking travesty

Basically what “Dont draw ugly people” means and why you should never take advice from anyone who says that for anything: Draw pale skinny able-bodied people only :). Thats what it means.

 There is so much antisemitism, racism, colorism, fatphobia, misogyny, queerphobia, and ableism within societies standards of conventionally beauty, that if you focus on drawing only “conventionally attractive” people or faces that get the most likes your hardly ever going to draw diverse people. Thats bad. Dont do that.

 One of the things thats so great about art is how much it helps break these standards and show that theres beauty in everything and everyone. You can give people who might not be shown to fit that label or might not get to see themselves in media or even in real life something to relate to or feel empowered or validated by.

 Why would you not want to do that?

Pay more attention to artists that actually bother to portray those types of people, or are apart of these groups. By following and supporting artists that draw only pale skinny people your helping to push these assumptions. There are PLENTY of people of diverse backgrounds, whether through a racial, religious, queer, or disabled lens that get shoved to the side or not given the credit or praise they deserve because of this.

Support your local queer artists. Support your local (BI)POC artists. Support your local disabled artists. Support your local Jewish and Muslim artists. Support diverse artists.

And they don't even pay her!

[ID: a comic of characters from I Don't Want to be a Magical Girl. Aika has a grumpy expression, as her teacher, Miss, puts her hand on Aika's shoulder, and says: "Your employer told you to do what?! I demand a meeting with them!"

Then Miss comes face-to-face with Hoshi, in human form as a kid with dot eyes, wearing a hoodie. Miss stares blankly at Hoshi, with a long "dot dot dot" in her dialogue bubble, before she turns around and says: "...Aika, this is a child." Hoshi replies: "Actually, I'm a star!" End ID.]
