Bruh, I'm sorry but that reasoning does not hold up to any scrutiny if you even give a lick of care to learn the actual bullshit that goes on in queer sphere.

"(poc+trans) they’re marginalized even within the community,"

I'm a bisexual woman. I've been explicitly and blatantly excluded from queer and LGBT+ events when it came out I was 100% bisexual. Even at times where I had a woman as a partner. I've had to deal with accusations of being a predator from the lesbian community when dating lesbians, or "invading" lesbian spaces. I've dealt with accusations of transphobia for using the label bisexual, rather than "more inclusive" labels. I've been told to shut up when talking about my experiences as a bisexual woman, especially if it was me criticizing the behavior from the rest of queer spaces.

I've had to deal with being excluded from queer community events, helplines, or other resources for queer people because I was bisexual. Do not get me started on the times I was with a man, or male presenting partner. I've had to deal with people demanding that bisexuals get dropped from queer spaces, and that we should "choose a side" and that bisexuality doesn't exist.

And you know what? I know that the exact same shit happens to aces. In a slightly different coat of paint, but it nonetheless the same level of vitriol and exclusion happens on a constant basis. There's a reason why there's such a deep solidarity between aces and bis "It’s a flag that was created to draw attention to intra-community issues,"

It's a flag that pretends to draw attention to intra-community issues, but in reality only shines light on a tiny part, and in reality doesn't even do that well. I don't even think most people flying that flag have any idea as to the alleged specifics of why these designs were made. I've seen people throw out incredibly subjective and/or vague assumptions and assertions as to why they exist, while they're clearing doing guesswork.

It's not your accusation that people believe that the "progress pride flag is separating trans people and POC and acting like they weren’t previously included" it's that it feels incredibly shallow and ignorant of queer history, and queer POC history and racism-even from within queer POC spaces-.

It's the problem that people think that flying that flag while doing absolute fuck all to change the problems in queer communities is enough, intra-community also doesn't work if the communities represented don't also actively weed out their own problems. Don't add me I know about the NB-phobia, and inter-trans transphobia, "If you want to pass you're a traitor", dumbshit like "no rice or spice" shit from poc users on (certain) queer dating sites... That shit is and was never exclusive to white people.

The rainbow flag as a battleground for these issues feels cheap, shallow, and childish because it was never created to exclude or target a specific sexuality. It was always a symbol of togetherness and fighting for our rights and right to live. Then some people decided that the flag that always represented the message "We're standing together" suddenly doesn't represent that message anymore, not because the flag doesn't stand for togetherness or the message has changed. No, it's because some idiots completely unrelated to the flag and it's meaning are being terrible people. No, just because someone is queer doesn't mean they get to poison the well for all other queer people and rot the meaning of a flag that always was for everyone, or their actions suddenly get to smear that the meaning of the flag from the get go included everyone, black, white, asian, brown, fucking translucent, and was always meant to show solidarity between all the sexualities. We're standing together as queers, but that doesn't mean individual queers can't be shits all on their own.

At this point we should just slap a triangle on all the pride flags, the flags themselves have absolutely nothing to do with it, but at least we can pretend like it does something, because a few dingbats can't behave and happen to be #that-sexuality/genderID. Let's add a bi and ace triangle to the gay, lesbian and trans-flag. Add an extra trans triangle to the trans-flag, maybe the NB and bi flag as well.

You can have your progress pride flag. You can have your feel good messaging if that's what it takes. But for the love of the rainbow, stop pretending the flag is anything but a shallow way to show-off that you at least know the surface level issues in the queer community.

I will not be posting anything about the election or other political news, because I like my Tumblr experience to be as stress free as possible. I would, however, like to share with anyone who needs some resources for dealing with the shift in political climate. Under the cut for more info:

If you live in the US and need community support, I recommend looking up your local Burn community. In the southeast, that's Alchemy/Euphoria. Not all Burn communities are going to be the same, I can not speak for all of them, but they are generally safe places of Radical Inclusion and Radical Consent and Communal Effort. I have never felt more safe than I have with Burners.

If you can't or won't join a community, here are some numbers and links that you may find useful.

Mental Health Crisis Resources

If you are in a mental health crisis or emergency, you are deeply valued and are not alone.

Please reach out to the crisis services listed below for support. (We do not provide crisis services here.)

Before calling 911: If you or someone you know is in immediate, life-threatening danger and decide to call 911, please be aware that police are not equipped to offer mental health support and may even pose danger to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, Transgender, Mentally Ill, Neurodivergent, and Disabled People.

Please reach out to community leaders, neighbors, friends, and family to be present if you are calling the police.

See below for crisis warm-lines that do not use police intervention

For community-based alternatives to police in your city:

Visit: Don't Call the Police for resources with transparency about reporting policies

Search for mobile crisis or community response teams in your city. 

Calling 211 in some cities will dispatch community response teams instead of law enforcement. Ask in advance whether they dispatch the police if this is a concern.

Ask trusted loved ones for support: In addition to calling crisis services, we warmly encourage you to let your trusted loved ones know that you are struggling. Feel free to share these tips below with them if they're helpful to you:

Ask them to stay with you and to make a plan together. You don't have to face this alone. 

If you do not want police or hospital intervention, communicate this clearly.

Ask them to listen and empathize, and not judge, give advice, or center their own feelings. 

If you are using substances, alcohol, or self-injury to cope, ask them to stay with you without judgement. 

When you are ready for help, ask them to remove it from you.

Remove weapons: If there are weapons such as guns nearby, please lock them away or ask a trusted person to remove them. Your safety is the priority.

it is worth noting that the majority of the helplines above will report you if they suspect you may be an imminent threat to others, but not to yourself.

Trevor, NAMI, National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, National Domestic Violence Hotline, RAINN, and Veterans Crisis Line are all mandated reporters, along with many others- if they believe you could be a danger to yourself or others (which they are incredibly likely to) they will report you and send police to your location. Be careful if they use them, and check out some of the other resources above instead.

To Everyone Feeling Uncertain:

In times of change and uncertainty, it’s natural to feel worried about the future. With the new administration and its proposed policies, many of us are concerned about the potential impact on LGBTQ+ rights and other important issues. However, it’s crucial to remember that we are not alone in this.

We are a community that stands together, supporting one another through thick and thin. There are countless advocates, allies, and organizations dedicated to protecting our rights and ensuring that progress continues. History has shown us that even in the face of adversity, we can make a difference by staying united and resilient.

Stay informed and engaged. Knowledge is power, and by staying updated on policies and actions, we can better understand how to respond and advocate for our rights. Support organizations that work tirelessly to defend equality and justice, and consider getting involved in local and national efforts.

Remember to take care of yourself and each other. It’s okay to feel anxious, but don’t let fear take over. Reach out to friends, family, and support networks. Share your feelings and listen to others. Together, we can find strength and hope.

Believe in the power of community and solidarity. We have faced challenges before, and we have always found ways to overcome them. By standing together, we can continue to push for a future where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

Things will be okay. Change is a part of life, and while it can be daunting, it also brings opportunities for growth and progress. Let’s hold onto hope and work towards a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
