Posting A Frog A Day Until I Feel Statisfied #1

hell yeah

When people hear the word “transgender” typically they think of the gorgeous models and actresses in the media. These are not the only people that deserve rights and recognition. There are trans women who have a hard time “passing” and living up to cishet men’s idea of “womanhood.” There are trans men who are severely under-represented in the media. There are also of course non-binary people who very few see represented and respected outside of queer spaces.

Ergo, trans rights are for ALL trans people, not just those that cishet men find attractive enough to deserve them.

okay but like. Queerphobia is queerphobia. Disrespecting microlabels/MOGAI and not welcoming them in the community accomplishes nothing. It’s just queerphobic. The arguments you use against them have been used against you, but by appealing to the monogamous cishet society, you assimilate. They see you as “one of the good ones”, not as fully equal. You are not paving the way for acceptance of queer identities; you are paving the way for toleration of “understandable” and cishet appealing queer identities. Identities where it’s possible for them to pretend you’re not very queer at all.

The arguments of “that doesn’t exist, you can’t just do that, you can’t be a boy or girl and look like that, this is just an attention seeking liar or abomination” towards nonbinary people in general, nonbinary microlabels, and gnc trans people has been and will be used against you. You’re not being completely accepted by society, you are blending in. You are just as queer as the people you mock, and they are just as queer as you.

But because they don’t “make sense” or “aren’t normal” or are “weird” or don’t clearly and visibly conform to cishet ideals, they are easier to turn the flame on. That flame is still there. That burning disgust and hatred of open queerness is still there. But because you are like them, because you pass and are “normal enough” to them, you have some ability to redirect the heat.

You have the privledge of passing, of being understandable to what they consider normal and acceptable, and that acceptance and toleration is at risk if you’re lumped in with clearly non-passing or conforming queer people, so you join in on their oppression. You say, “don’t hate me, hate them, I’m the normal one” when you used to not be. You bear burn scars and don’t want any more, so you push the flame to people that are easier to burn.

That heat and hatred is not gone, it’s just not directly pointing at you anymore. If someone were to use those arguments against you, which they have, you’d be hated just the same, which you were. You are not abolishing the flame, you are just redirecting it.

MOGAI, xenogenders, neopronouns, microlabels, all of them are in our community, and they always have been. Their ability to be specific and happy with their labels because they have the comfort and space to openly explore their gender and sexuality in much more depth, is not a disgrace to what we’ve built, but something to be celebrated. They feel safe enough to and have a community for terms to describe themselves as much as they want, and that is far from a bad thing. Discovery is a long and difficult process. Whatever they find and whatever they try, if it stays or not, is valid. What helps them is valid. Their queerness is valid.

All you are doing is separating yourself from that community, our community, so that you are not burned with them.

jdhdhdigdye 💀😭👏

“you changed” yes i realised gender is a hoax

EEEEEE WHAT LAWRENCE SAID

Quick psa

If you don’t support people who use neopronouns, or trans people in general, please kindly get off my page. The people using neopronouns are not hurting anyone, nor are they making the community look like a joke. People hate trans people because they’re transphobic, not because some kid uses xe/xem or pup/pupself. I support all of you guys, and I am willing to lose hundreds of followers on this. If my followers are transphobic and ableist, I don’t want them. Have a great day!

Hmmmm 🤔

Sad but true.

how will asexuals enrich the lgbt community with their inclusion?

Okay, so let’s get this through your thick, exclusionist skull. (I’ll use small words)

How does anyone “enrich” the LGBT+ community?

Enrich, according to the dictionary, means a number of things.

1. to supply with riches, wealth, abundant or valuable possessions, etc.

In this way we bring the same thing you do: Some of us are able to donate money and resources to things like the Trevor Project or our local LGBT+ offices and their outreach programs.

2. to supply with abundance of anything desirable, such as knowledge.

Hi! I collect lists of websites and books and groups that portray and/or teach about different LGBT+ identities so that I can give them out to people who have questions. There are a number of us (asexual, aromantic, and agender individuals) who do similar things in order to enrich our communities.

3. to add greater value or significance to.

More voices = louder communal voice. You want people to listen to you about issues and struggles that our community faces? You’re gonna need more voices.

4. to adorn or decorate.

There are a good number of us who are artists. We design your posters and t-shirts and murals. We don’t just create art for our own identity, but yours, too.

5. to make finer in quality, as by supplying desirable elements or ingredients.

Every person has something good in them that they can bring to the table. By denying a whole group of people, you are denying their ideas and their resources and their personalities. You are denying all desirable elements that could build your community.

Now, this is slightly off-topic but it connects: The rest of the LGBT+ community (including you aphobes) talk a lot about how being gay isn’t just about sex… And yet you exclude us because some of us don’t like sex.

Kinda seems like you’re just shooting yourself in the foot there…

“Why would anyone without dysphoria even want to transition?”

…Because humans are complex animals who are motivated by things other than avoiding pain?

really hate how so many people are aphobic, transphobic, etc without being OPEN about it. i just wanna follow some new people without having to search through their blog to make sure they dont hate me or other people for simply existing
