I Repeatedly Think About The Time That A Group Of 6 Total Gym Bros Smiled At Me And Said Such A Gentleman,

I repeatedly think about the time that a group of 6 total gym bros smiled at me and said “such a gentleman, thank you” when I held the door for them because they were all carrying plants?

guys. GUYS. you can’t do this to me😭 I cried over it. (this was wonderful to me because I still look so much like a girl and I was in shock)

WHEN DID QUEER PEOPLE START HATING EACHOTHER. WE ARE IN THIS FIGHT TOGETHER.

THERE IS NO USE IN FIGHTING TO BE ALLOWED TO LOVE AND BE TRUE TO OURSELVES WHEN WE ARE PITTED AGAINST THE VERY PEOPLE WE ARE FIGHTING ALONGSIDE.

Queer 👏 people 👏 are 👏 not 👏 all 👏 fucking 👏 activists 👏

Stop quizzing us on queer history and asking us questions we aren’t qualified to answer about the world and about politics and about our identities

Stop trying to back us into a corner so you can justify your discrimination on the basis that we don’t know what we’re talking about or can’t “defend” ourselves to you

Stop treating every queer person that stands up and says “I want to be treated like a person” as if they’re an activist

Cut that bullshit out

Marginalised people just want to exist and be happy

I don’t know everything, and that doesn’t make me undeserving of your respect or my human rights you fucker

I don’t even owe you the stuff I do know- I still am entitled to basic fucking respect

TLDR; Queer people shouldn’t have to be historians or scientists for you to not be a fucking dick

I’m not a man but still!!

I do get severely dysphoric but real
