it is 2018 and i am begging you all to please stop making the LGBT community out to be a collection of freaky abnormal weirdos

freaky abnormal weirdo coming through

Our oppressors already think we are a collection of freaky abnormal weirdos so we might as well fucking own it!

or we could continue to challenge this harmful & tired stereotype that they use as a justification for MURDERING US. just a thought. a fucking… flicker in my mind, y’know.

If you take away their justification for murdering us they will just find a new justification for murdering us

The cause of their hate is not our behavior, we are not responsible for our own oppression, we should not have to fall in line in order to not be killed

God but I love being a freaky abnormal weirdo.

Have you *seen* what this society considers normal and acceptable? We should all be against that. We should all be dedicating our lives to uprooting and burning it like the blight that it is.

Always liberation, never assimilation.

Respectability Politics will not save us. Respectability Politics only leave those of us who can’t or will not “pass” more vulnerable bc they are viewed as being the outliers, the weak, the vulnerable.

When we claim those who are Strange, Freaky, and, indeed, Queer, those of us who don’t pass and never will and don’t want to, we scream back in the faces of our oppressors: “if you want the trans women who don’t pass, if you want the leather daddies, if you want the GNC POC, if you want the butches and the queens and the people who *gasp* ‘reinforce stereotypes,’ then bitch, come get some, because when you fuck with one of us you fuck with all of us,” that’s when we make real progress. Liberation, not assimilation.

I refuse to lick the boots of the Straights and beg them to accept those Queers who are palatable to them. I will demand we are all accepted, no fucking compromises.

But, you know, you do you, I guess.
