A thought I’ve been having: While it's important to recognize the long history of many current queer identities (and the even longer history of people who lived outside of the straight, cis, allo “norm”) I think it's also important to remember that a label or identity doesn't have to be old to be, for lack of a better word, real.

This post that i reblogged a little while ago about asexuality and its history in the LGBTQ+ rights movement and before is really good and really important. As i've thought about it more, though, it makes me wonder why we need to prove that our labels have "always existed." In the case of asexuality, that post is pushing back against exclusionists who say that asexuality was “made up on the internet” and is therefore invalid. The post proves that untrue, which is important, because it takes away a tool for exclusionists.

But aromanticism, a label & community with a lot of overlap & solidarity with asexuality, was not a label that existed during Stonewall and the subsequent movement. It was coined a couple decades ago, on internet forums. While the phrasing is dismissive, it would be technically accurate to say that it was “made up on the internet.” To be very clear, I’m not agreeing with the exclusionists here—I’m aromantic myself. What I’m asking is, why does being a relatively recently coined label make it any less real or valid for people to identify with?

I think this emphasis on historical precedent is what leads to some of the attempts to label historical figures with modern terminology. If we can say someone who lived 100 or 1000 years ago was gay, or nonbinary, or asexual, or whatever, then that grants the identity legitimacy. but that's not the terminology they would have used then, and we have no way of knowing how, or if, any historical person's experiences would fit into modern terminology.

There's an element of "the map is not the territory" here, you know? Like this really good post says, labels are social technologies. There's a tendency in the modern Western queer community to act like in the last few decades the "truth" about how genders and orientations work has become more widespread and accepted. But that leaves out all the cultures, both historical and modern, that use a model of gender and sexuality that doesn't map neatly to LGBTQ+ identities but is nonetheless far more nuanced than "there are two genders, man and woman, and everyone is allo and straight." Those systems aren’t any more or less “true” than the system of gay/bi/pan/etc and straight, cis and trans, aro/ace and allo.

I guess what I’m saying is, and please bear with me here, “gay” people have not always existed. “Nonbinary” people have not always existed. “Asexual” people have not always existed. But people who fell in love with and had sex with others of the same gender have always existed. People who would not have identified themselves as either men or women have always existed. People who didn’t prioritize sex (and/or romance) as important parts of their lives have always existed. In the grand scheme of human existence, all our labels are new, and that’s okay. In another hundred or thousand years we’ll have completely different ways of thinking about gender and sexuality, and that’ll be okay too. Our labels can still be meaningful to us and our experiences right now, and that makes them real and important no matter how new they are.

We have a history, and we should not let it be erased. But we don’t need a history for our experiences and ways of describing ourselves to be real, right now.

stg, being an enjoyer of jane twdg is like being forced into an expert-level course on the way misogyny manifests in video game spaces.

god forbid a woman be complex or difficult or provably mischaracterized (see tags) at the end of her arc to service the culmination of a man’s storyline.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe has set a historic milestone, becoming the closest man-made object to the Sun. It achieved breathtaking speeds of 430,000 mph while enduring extreme temperatures of 982°C, paving the way for unprecedented solar exploration.

Key facts:

Launched in 2018, this car-sized spacecraft is named after solar astrophysicist Eugene Newman Parker—the first NASA mission named after a living researcher. It’s humanity's boldest step yet, venturing within 3.8 million miles of the Sun’s corona, protected by an advanced carbon-composite heat shield.

what other ship went canon in a bisexual threesome then went canon again in an alternate timeline bottle episode and then went canon a third time in an episode that merged that alternate timeline with the main timeline and explicitly posited gay love as a motivating force in conquering your own demons and gaining the courage to overcome self-loathing and shame

i need evan to have some sort of familial like purity ring or something which barty manhandles off their first time and keeps on a chain around his neck . when evan pulls him in by it it slips back on his finger and barty laughs at him for the hypocrisy …. putting in back on in the middle of their debauchery :….

this is legitimately so hot i'm a bit aghast... absolutely. there is nothing that i can add because it's already perfect.

i have always been entranced by the idea of evan and some sort of magical chastity-belt situation. perhaps in an omegaverse context, perhaps not. either way i want barty snapping and debauching him in a hidden alcove, away from his parents and suitors. barty wants to ruin him, evan doesn't even know what that means. he hikes evan's skirts above his waist and GROANS when he sees the little leather strap keeping evan's cunt locked from him, because of course, evan has always been so good & proper. maybe barty mouths at him over the leather while evan shakes and cries and tries to squirm away, and he finishes like that, pressed against the wall, confused. yeah
