Sorry to ask something like this, but is there really much of a point towards more "exclusionist"-like blogs? I feel like in the end, people are spending way too much time complaining and whining over things they don't have control over instead of working to make a positive influence in their own communities. It feels like essentially wasting your life from an "outsider's" (I don't really know how to describe this) perspective. I know you have a life outside of this, but I'm still perplexed.
good question! there is absolutely no point. everybody needs a niche :)
Hi a close friend has been scrolling your blog for two days and sending me the absolute worst posts possible and I need u to know you're complicit in me losing my mind
The LGBT community is not the Island of Misfit Toys, there’s an actual fucking point to our existence. It’s not just a fun club for anyone who feels like they don’t fit every social norm. We are Oppressed, Lindsay
So true! That’s why it’s for more than just LGBT!! (That’s why there’s a + if ya didn’t know! Kinda weird that you didn’t add it though) Asexuals, aromantics, demisexuals, pansexuals, omnisexuals, polysexuals, lithromantics, polyamorus people, quoisexuals, fictosexuals, amatosexuals, autosexuals, teramoric people, scoliosexuals, zedsexuals, diversexuals, homoflexibles, heteroflexibles, and any other queer identities I forgot. We all belong 😼 don’t let anyone tell you otherwise 💜💜💜

Instead of calling yourself “she/her” just call yourself “female”. The word female is being demonised, which is basically misogyny, and people who refuse to use it in a header are not helping.
have u considered that you’re actually stupid af lol
Can we please shift the conversation from whether labels are “valid” and start asking substanial questions such as are they useful? Are they useful politically or for building communities and movements? Do they make sense? How are they materially different from other labels? What kind of message do they send about people who don’t subscribe to that label? Why would we need them? What are they based on? What is their history, origin and purpose? Are they useful irl? Why do they make use feel different than older, more stigmatised labels?
Let’s move beyond individual feelings and immediate gratification and start asking what’s useful and helpful for us as a movement if we want to achieve material change
All I ever get as a response when criticising certain labels is “you’re wrong, xyz is valid!!!”
Okay but is it useful? Is it harmful? Does it make sense? Why do we need it? Let’s have a real conversation bitch, I’m past this “everything is valid” kindergarten nonsense
