re the Annual Kink At Pride Discourse: here's my input on the question of 'should Pride be exclusively sfw and family friendly?'
idk there's like 6000 more important questions about what should be part of Pride than 'can sexual content be present WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN' let's start with:
why are TERFs allowed to feel entitled to a place
why is Pride policed
why are police allowed to march in Pride as a bloc under a police banner but sex workers aren't allowed to march in Pride under a sex worker banner?
why do we let political parties join the march while passing violently anti-trans (looking at you the SNP) and anti-gay (yeah you the Conservatives) legislations?
why are 90% of the march leaders and big blocs corporate advertising?
why is so much Pride events pay-to-play
why have radical queer groups like LGSM, the Lesbian Avengers or the Queer Collective been actively and increasingly excluded from Pride to the extent that the original founders of London Pride were pushed out of the parade altogether in favour of shilling for Absolut and Barclays?
why is Pride treated as a place where straight people can come to say 'I'm not homophobic' and like I literally. L I T E R A L L Y had to listen to a straight woman in a gay bar during Pride say to my friend 'no I totally get what you're going through as a trans woman, my best friend is a gay man' right after spouting 10 minutes of transphobia
why is it treated as anathema to Pride to challenge racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny and classism when it makes a space uncomfortable because ~this is meant to be an inclusive celebration don't sow division they have as much right to be here as anyone~ but the leather daddies and the kinksters and the celebrations of queer sexuality and the radical liberationist anti-capitalist politics that are literally at the foundation of Pride are unacceptable in case they make someone uncomfortable?
basically well before we try to scrub the kink off pride and present a Nice Sanitised Family Fun Day Out version of Pride probably we should focus on kicking out the people who don't just make Pride uncomfortable but actively work to make the world worse for queer people. get TERFs out of Pride get megacorporations out of Pride get cops out of Pride get pinkwashing politicians out of Pride and then maybe we can talk about your beef with Gay People Expressing Sexuality.
and I'm not even trying to deny that there are valid reasons to be uncomfortable with the amount of sexual content. but the fact that some people have picked Queer Displays Of Sexuality as the core problem with Pride not like. cops with guns or banners for fucking arms companies and alcohol monopolies and megacorporations leading the march or ticketed entry gates keeping out the riffraff or the exclusion of radical queer voices or the marketing of Pride as a Fun Day Out For Heterosexual Cis Party People or the way it's used to put a coat of rainbow paint over systemic dehumanisation of queer people in other areas of life is. a fucking joke. shut up. sorry. I was trying not to be too confrontational but for real get some perspective.
Oh my emotions are being tugged on by this cute little robot

"Kids aren't forced on HRT" except I was, and I was raped by a female OBGYN as a CHILD with the largest metal speculum this woman had available ON PURPOSE to punish me while she laughed with her nurse, humiliated me, and called me at home to continue harassing me. I was then forced onto estrogen to "normalize" my intersex body.
I hate people who say kids aren't forced onto HRT about as much as I hate when TERFs say that they are - in reference to trans perisex people, because they do believe intersex people need to be "cured" and should be forced onto HRT. Kids are forced onto HRT, it's just not the kids that perisex people care about, whether those perisex people are for or against HRT. Stop erasing our fucking existence to defend your fucking existence and find a better fucking argument.
You can't defend autonomy without indulging in intersexist violence?
what i thought was going to happen in this scene
Okay i know ive just posted about our nonbinary warrior moments ago but i still have stuff to share
They had klinefelters syndrome, thats the reason for the funky chromosomes but anyway heres a quote from the article i read.
"If the characteristics of the Klinefelter syndrome have been evident on the person, they might not have been considered strictly a female or a male in the Early Middle Ages community," Moilanen said."
Also even in this time it shows that despite there presentation they were respected and admired which i think is cool.
Heres my trans flag as a cloudscape, I hope all of you can enjoy it.
Okay. I know Cartoon Network has been unfair when scheduling and promoting it shows (it gives crappy shows like Teen Titans Go! more coverage than quality shows like Steven Universe and OK K.O.!). But now it is under attack by a homophobic and transphobic extremist group called the American Family Association. This hate group has an off branch known as One Million Moms, which is supposedly a group of mothers that petitions against companies and TV shows that have been making huge strides for LGBTQ+ representation. They strongly opposed the monumental gay marriage in Arthur and have supported Chick Fil-A and its abysmal anti-LGBTQ+ policies.
Now this hate group is turning to Cartoon Network during Pride Month, for the channel has made (although it still has ways to go) major strides in LGBTQ+ representation. It is creating a petition for Cartoon Network “to put a stop to pushing the LGBTQ agenda by deleting the “Happy Pride” ad immediately and no longer airing programs with same sex couples.” This means they want Cartoon Network TO ERASE ALL CURRENT LANDMARK EPISODES WITH LGBTQ+ REPRESENTATION AND CANCEL THE PRODUCTION OF FUTURE ONES!! They mentioned the Powerpuffs ad for Pride Month, Princess Bubblegum and Marceline’s kiss in the season finale of Adventure Time, and Ruby and Sapphire’s marriage in Steven Universe. Furthermore, the petition has been signed by 13,156 people at the time this post was posted and will most likely rise.
Please reblog this to spread awareness about this terrible petition and to stand up for Cartoon Network!! Feel free to add additional information on how to combat this hate group and additional ones!!
