some positivity for butches of color ^^

i know a lot of my “audience” is young, as am i. i dont remember the aids epidemic, i wasnt alive, and a lot of people doom posting probably don’t either. and with recency bias being what it is, its no surprise we all feel like this is the worst its ever been for queers.(if you say this is the worst its ever been for poc, though, no excuse i should be allowed to kill you)

let me show you this photo

the men in black clothing represent the number of men in a gay male’s choir that died during the aids epidemic. reagan fucked us over so badly, we lost so much. but we came back. not organically or because of some miracle, but because we organized and protested and helped each other out and we got the damn job done.

and despite the slogan “the first pride was a riot” going around every june… where is the rioting and the fighting back? have you forgotten this is not our first rodeo in the least, especially for nonwhite folk? it has never been easy for us, and to ignore the progress we have made is, well. you’re lying to yourself.

not only will we survive, but we’re going to do the damn work. protest and work in your community and do what you need to do after you take some time to wallow in misery. and by no means am i saying you should all risk your literal safety and no one should recloset themselves. but by god, dont just wallow in misery and leave the rest of us to do the work in lesser numbers.

Reminder that "cis woman lesbians" that end up as straight trans men aren't any less queer than they were before. They aren't less in need/deserving of support, advocacy, research, and resources. They may be straight, but dominant systems don't necessarily view them that way, and still see their sexuality as queer in addition to seeing their gender identity as queer. Sending some love to straight trans guys who got the "ugh another straight man" response when they came out. Jokes with close friends are one thing, but let's be real: your identity isn't any less feminist, less radical, less queer than when you thought you were cis.
