Absolutely. I’ve never done anything of the sort. But I’m guessing you got pissed off by this post so let me break down that post into little bits for you: The key defining fact about lesbianism is attraction to women.  That’s literally the only thing that makes a woman a lesbian: the fact that she’s … Continue reading politicizing lesbianism hurts lesbians. lesbianism isn’t a meter of morality, but a sexuality. shitty people can be lesbians, good people can be lesbians. expecting every lesbians being a YASSSSS QUEEEN UWU UWU YAASSSS PURE BEING!!! is dehumanizing and frankly childish. you do not seem to realize that lesbians are humans and lesbianism is basically a human trait.

I only saw the full first season so I can’t comment on the rest. I found the first season to feel VERY stereotypical, and in many ways the ‘defying stereotypes’ stuff felt like flawed attempts.  Take Kala, it’s often argued that she is not in an ‘arranged marriage’ trope yet her storyline about marriage follows all the old … Continue reading I’m genuinely interested in your opinion on this; I’ve recently saw your post about Sense8 and racial stereotyping. killiansmilk[.]tumblr[.]com/post/161329088793/people-calling-sense8-racist-clearly-only-watched … Thanks a lot 🙂

TRUUUUUUEEEE. 

Go reread what I wrote. I’ll even copy-paste it here for you.  —  Cisgender LGB people: I see a lot of you speaking about ‘the cishets’ with some kind of bitter taste behind it but never acknowledging your own cisgender privilege and how much transphobia there is in the LGBT community and I want you … Continue reading I feel like if cis queers can’t use cis/het then neither can straight trans people. Because the term is meant only for both trans and gay/bi/etc. Ppl. I’ve used the term but I don’t use it to absolve myself of any transphobia, I just use it to describe straight, cisgender people. Should I just be using “non LGBT”? Or something?

It’s not like there this is no circumstance in which cisgender lgb people can use ‘cishet’, although really, ‘cisgender and straight’ would be more accurate because it is important to recognize that they are two seperate parts of an identity and two seperate forms of privilege.  It’s just that I do NOT want people using ‘cishet’’ for everything … Continue reading I’m gay and I say cis hets to refer to straight ppl but also to make a distinction between cis straight ppl and trans straight ppl bc obviously trans ppl don’t benefit from the same privilege. Also I’m Black and if a white person says “white ppl” I don’t feel offended at all, quite the opposite actually. So I don’t understand how a lgbq cis person saying “the cis” (including themselves) or “cis hets” to challenge cisnormativity, cissexism and/or queerphobia is… wrong?? Not trying to be rude xx

oh no whatever will I do

Oh yeah, there’s definitely terfs who are also biphobes who are also aphobes who are also interphobes… etc. When you have allowed yourself to wage a violent campaign against one oppressed group because they do not fit your narrative it becomes easy to add another and another. The similarity of these forms of hate did not … Continue reading One thing wrong with your post. It assumes terfs arent already biphobes who openly oppress women who dont fit the narrative. Otherwise p ok post op.

Hey there, no problem. I recently read Stephanie Grohmann – Queering the Economy. In: Queering Anarchism (2012).   And shared this quote from it: The advent of capitalism created “the economy” as a seperate sphere, disconnected from other aspects of life. In a massive wave of expropriation, millions of peasants were forced off their lands and … Continue reading hello! so not hate or anything, but i was reading your commentary on the nuclear family post and i was wondering if you could elaborate more on how capitalism affects family structure? i’m anti-capitalist but i don’t have a whole lot of specific information on its negative traits and i’m hoping to learn more. if you have any literature to recommend that would be cool too!

Oh thanks!  tagging @mage-cat who asked for this info

people that hate asexuals and mock them at every turn don’t actually give a shit about queer people around the world unless they fit into the kind of queerness they’re used to. Let’s not forget that the lgbt labels have been created in a western context and do not necessarily fit with people everywhere, therefore … Continue reading I’m glad you’re like one of the few blogs on here that actually gives a shit about ace people like it shocks me when people say there’s no ace oppression because as someone who lives in a VERY conservative country do you really think I could come out as ace without the same treats if forced marriage and correctional rape that other lgbt people do? The ace discourse is a pretty good example of western neoliberal thinking… Oppression only exists in a way that they want to process It 1/4
