So I Have A Question For Others With Diagnosed Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome

Big shout out to the coalition of Catholic nuns who just told the US bishops to stop being transphobic.

“As members of the body of Christ, we cannot be whole without the full inclusion of transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive individuals,” the letter reads. It goes on to argue that “we will remain oppressors until we — as vowed Catholic religious — acknowledge the existence of LGBTQ+ people in our own congregations. We seek to cultivate a faith community where all, especially our transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive siblings, experience a deep belonging.”

The letter also states transgender people are “experiencing harm and erasure” in various ways, listing daily discrimination, a groundswell of state-level legislation aimed at LGBTQ rights and “harmful rhetoric from some Christian institutions and their leaders, including the Catholic Church.”

Shout out to the girl in my class who loved to bring cookies and brownies and stuff to school to share with the class and when she found out I was allergic to wheat and soy she started bringing me skittles everytime she brought in baked goods so I wouldn’t be left out

Literally such a beacon of light, I love you so much

“Exclusionists are pathetic.” I absolutely love that last part because it’s refined nonsense.

Cripples are not “exclusionists” or “pathetic” for asserting that cripplepunk is for physically disabled people. That is literally just a fact.

Copy pasting your queer politics over every marginalized community you encounter is pathetic.

Calling people “exclusies” for experiencing traumas and oppression you don’t is pathetic.

Refusing to educate yourself is pathetic.

Lying about terms and a community created a decade ago by a dead person who EXPLICITLY STATED who it was for

is

so. fucking. pathetic.

My favorite LGBTQIA+ historical figure?

I am not sure.

I could list only a few of the top of my head in general.

I like Salvador Dali (asexual) for his art and his different view of the world but he didn’t really do anything for the community.

I read a while ago about someone who worked with Martin Luther King Jr, fought alongside him, who identified as homosexual but I can’t for the life of me remember his name. I saved an article about him somewhere but I can’t find it. If anyone knows who I’m talking about, help me find his name.

He would probably be my favorite LGBTQIA+ historical figure.

I was having such a good morning.

I was volunteering at my favorite place to volunteer, cheering people on at a 1k and 5k for the holidays (for the holidays) and I was on my feet for three hours straight and I was okay.

But when they brought the volunteers back to home base, I stepped of them golf cart and my ankle shot pain up my leg.

God dammit.

So now I’m sitting in the ground waiting for my ride and trying not to aggravate my ankle anymore.
