#queerhets

[valbreaksgravity]

It's always queerhets & straightqueers are never "queer enough". But it's not the same when it comes to cisqueers.

Queerhets & straightqueers constantly have to erase their straightness only to justify their queerness. Cisqueers don't need to do that. Their identity is seen as the standard in queer spaces.

You can claim that cisqueers don't have cis privilege, that their attraction makes it impossible for them to access cis privilege. And you're right.

So why can't it be the same for queerhets & straightqueers?

They're straightness interacts with their queerness in ways that makes it almost impossible to access straight privilege. Plenty of straight aspec, trans, nonbinary, genderqueer, and otherwise other queerhets & straightqueers don't have access to straight privilege; due to their attraction being so different than the norm; their gender(s) being outside the standard.

Not to mention the mspec erasure (especially when it comes to bi peeps) and the pressuring to date those of the same gender. Just to seem "queer enough".

And I'm not even going to touch polyamory, intersex, GNC, PNC,, kinksters, etc. cause y'all can't even see fellow queers as members of your community.

Summary of this post: gayness ≠ queerness. Queer encompaces more than attraction to the same gender. Straightness is not the opposite of queerness. I'm tired of people acting like it's queer law.

unpopular opinion time: just because someone is queer doesn't mean they are automatically a good person.

To every trans person realizing their gender makes them straight:

You are good. Not despite your sexuality but because of it. Please don’t let yourself be ashamed about it.

There are queer people who say male heterosexuality is disgusting. There are queer people who say female heterosexuality is stupidity. There are queer people who will laugh about how silly and nasty it would be to be straight only to halfheartedly say “oh I guess trans straight people are the exception!” There are transphobes who pretend they’d care more about you if you just admit to your internalized homophobia/lesbophobia and stop being trans.

They’re all so fucking wrong. You are good for who you love. You are not ‘one of the good ones’, you are just simply good. Anyone who says otherwise is a fucking idiot.

You have a place in the queer community. You belong there as much as anyone else

This pride month, remember that straight trans and genderqueer people, straight arospecs, straight acespecs, straight intersex people, and all other straight queer people are valuable members of the queer community, and being straight does not make them any less queer. Straight and queer are not mutually exclusive categories. Stop treating them as such.

"we need more weird queer people" you cant even handle people who are straight and queer at the same time

[mr-weirdo-mcgee]

Technically relationships don't need explanations but idk here's the photos I was talking about in a earlier.

If a label fits you, you have every right to use it. Even if it’s “contradictory”.

Being queer is not a club that people can exclude you from.

If your queer identity doesn’t hurt anyone, own it.

[wanhyutji]

I'm the sex obsessed aroallo straight man the exclusionists warned you about. And I'm identifying as queer too

[pupiipawzz]

anyone else simultaneously both gay and straight in all directions?

[tosakazaki]

as a straight trans man, transmasc lesbians are definitely valid but at the same time so much more needs to be done to make being a queer straight man not be seen as so horrible and contradictory than it unrightfully is. i had to spend years trying to force myself into the boxes of either denying my sexual orientation or denying what gendered labels fit right for me, all because i "didn't want to be straight"

queer heterosexuality can and does exist and we do not deserve to be an afterthought or "too complicated" to explain to even fellow people in the queer community. we deserve better.

[contradictory-label-culture-is]

Contradictory culture is cautiously reblogging transfems posts worrying if you're about to be harassed

[saffigon]

there's a large assumption by exclusionists that male lesbians identify that way because they're "scared of being a straight man" and, like, that's wrong for a lot of reasons, but for me personally, i love also being a straight man, i just have a large connection to being a lesbian and love the lesbian community too. like i am a straight man, i'm just also a lesbian

Shoutout to queer men who are sexually attracted to women whether you be straight transmascs, mspec men, straight aroallo men, straight acespec men who experience some sexual attraction, or any other identity I forgot to mention. Your attraction to women isn't creepy or predatory or objectifying or misogynistic, it's just attraction and it's morally neutral and you don't deserve to be shamed for it. That's all, have a nice day.

[intersexfairy]

alright im gonna give it a shot, but not steal the other person's question.

Intersex people only. Dyads please boost <3

[plain text: Intersex people only. Dyads please boost <3 ]

if you respond to this and aren't intersex, you're being intersexist.
