#LGB with the T

[t-grey-writing]

This side blog is posting a lot about politics when it was originally meant to be a writing/reading blog. While I am a bit disheartened that it’s grown into something else, it would be irresponsible of me not to spread information where I can, and I’m here to remind everyone that reading is political.

If you are capable of reading, it is political. Pay attention to what they’re planning to restrict in book bans and read that. There’s a reason they want to keep you from consuming said media. So read it. Consume it anyway. Give them the big fuck you and read what they want you to avoid.

I’m a queer disabled person in the US and I refuse to be silent. Please refuse to be silenced. I am genuinely begging you to stand up and organize with others. Listen to people of color who have been doing this for years and build community with your neighbors. It’s so so important not to be isolationists right now.

Hey. You. Yes, you.

Stop scrolling for a second. Breathe with me.

You don't need to decide who does and does not validly exist. You don't need to decide who is and is not guilty of crimes. You do not need to decide exactly who does and does not benefit from complex webs of systemic oppression.

Breathe with me again.

You do not need to have any part in any discourse. Keep practicing care and compassion for you fellow people, that's what really matters.

If you want to debate, go ahead. I know I do sometimes. But, one last time, breathe with me.

You don't have to be right. You don't have to be perfect. You're allowed to use debate as a way to figure out what YOU believe.

Figure out what causes YOU are for,

Then fight like hell for them. With kindness, support, rallies, donations, and yes, anger. Sometimes. Where it is due - not at your fellow activists.

But please, breathe with me.

If it feels like infighting, it probably is. You are allowed to just. Breathe.

Hey everyone, just an fyi @/astrothetherian is actually transphobic and purposefully misgenders folks. Please block them. They also conflate pro-endo with radqueers for some reason. Just word of warning.

tw: transphobia and homophobia

local terf admits to being a homophobe and conservative. More info at 6.

[Image ID: a post from the user @divining-skeptic that reads "unfortunately as a bisexual person, I'm starting to think maybe republicans were right about gay marriage being a slippery sope. Maybe we should just been okay with civil unions..." The tags read "#lgb" "#drop the t" "#gender critical" and "#conservative". /end ID]

[iveeaten3humanorganz]

I suggest…. For pride month… we totallllyyyyyy dontttttt….. take over all homophobic and terf tags….. that would be so crazy…. Don’t do that……..

ASSHOLE

POLL RESULTS

Note: if you don’t agree with trans people, don’t reblog. Instead go take a cold shower and maybe stub your toe on a metal table.

Earlier today I polled the LGBTQ and LGB hashtags to see if the general population of queer people accepted those who want to separate queer and trans people from the rest of the community. This wasn’t actually my goal, because I know perfectly well how you bitches operate.

I really didn’t care about the results from LGBTQ hashtags, because I know from legitimate demographic studies that most people, let alone queer people, do not agree with their sentiments.

What I did learn however is that their goal isn’t to separate the LGBTQ community down the middle, it’s to build their own hateful group and convince everybody else that they’re bigger and stronger. Their biggest tactic seems to be the abuse of language, by claiming homophobia when queer people refer to themselves as queer, and insisting that being against LGB groups is against all lesbian gay and bisexual people, they hope to victimize themselves when faced with even equality with trans people.

They spread my poll like the plague, reaching over 250 votes in a couple hours (thanks for that), and I couldn’t give less of a shit, because those votes came entirely from the group who already hates trans people. They REALLY want community, but without the icky trans people. They think our pride is tainted by grooming and fetishists, because they can’t look at a history book and realize homophobes have been saying that about them since the 1900s. Either way, don’t give them that community. Protest their groups and don’t show up to their pride, because there’s no pride in hate. Love thy neighbour unless they want to control your life, your gender and your language.

When you look at the poll demographics though, most votes came from under 0.5% of the queer community on Tumblr. Despite all they might say, the answer to whether trans people deserve to be in the community is a resounding

•YES•

The LGB hashtag has so few members that the numbers don’t even show up. Add the T and you go up OVER TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND.

You’re loud as fuck, but less like a crowd, and more like an angsty teen in their garage with an electric guitar and 3 speakers.

TRANS PEOPLE ARE HERE, AND IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT, YOU CAN

✨ROT IN HELL✨

Yes, I will call LGB people who spout anti-trans talking points "pick me gays", because that's what they are.

You're trying to appeal to people who hate the community as a whole by throwing a part of it under the bus in the vain hope that it'll prove to the bigots that you're "one of the good ones".

It will not.

If you genuinely think that this will stop at just trans people, you're being wilfully ignorant. These people want us all dead, and you're playing right into their hands, for what? Acceptability politics?

It will not save you from them. Sooner or later, they'll come for you too.

Stop playing into their hands. Our community has a common enemy, and they are intentionally trying to divide us. Don't let them divide us.
