i love neopronouns, but fae/faer pronouns are just,,,,, yikes
ive seen multiple people talk about it and after seeing another post about it today i decided fuck it im gonna log onto my discourse account and make a post about it
nyways, the fae are NOT to be fucked with. theyre a huge symbol to celtic cultures and and reglions like wicca. theyre practically gods, and a solid portion of the time theyre not the cutsy fairies you would see in movies. as someone who has had to deal with the fae, theyre not the kind of being you should like,,,, make pronouns out of. you cant give them your name, you cant take gifts from them, you cant take food from them, if you so accept something from them you cant say thank you, you cant stand in faerie rings, and you cant be rude to them. doing any of that will fuck you up. but people decided to use pronouns that directly refer to the fae.
i saw it described in a post as using something like jesus/jesusself. like people (usually) dont do that because its a huge religious symbol and he's respected by those who believe in him
i hate to be the person thats like 'uwu these pronouns make people uncomfy you need alternatives' because usually thats because like,,, 'i dont like neopronouns let me use they/them',,, but i strongy reccomend something people find another pronoun so people who respect the fae can talk to/about you. if u like the sound of fae/faer thats 100% valid!!! and i completely understand that they sound really cool!!! some similar pronouns that dont directly refer to the fae would be ae/aer and vae/vaer, and at least letting people who believe in the fae who use one of those alternatives would be very nice.
its not the same as like 'neopronouns make me uncomfy because im a dumbass, let me use he/she/they',,, its 'you are actively appropriating my religion/culture, do you have an alternative for me to use'
remember to get some food!! drink some water while ur at it!! and dont forget to take your meds! you are beautiful and you will get through this.
I find it amusing whenever you tell someone you had a stressful day a popular phrase to respond with is 'tomorrow is another day.'
Well yeah, but today is also a day so in that moment I hate days. Jee thanks, I can't wait to relive the same harrowing experience over again!
What trans jokes are:
“I’m abab. Assigned Bastard at birth”
“What’s your gender?” “yeah”
“What’s in your pants?” “a nickel and some lint”
What transphobia masked as ‘jokes’ is:
“Lmao look at that man wearing a dress”
“My pronouns are fuck/fuckself”
“Hey lets talk about this trans person’s sex life and genitals for funsies”
Every single tucute caricature
Know the fuckin’ difference.
shout out to my fellow aromantics! especially anyone who has ever felt guilty about not reciprocating someone’s feelings! here’s your reminder that:
you don’t owe someone a relationship no matter how kind they, are or how much they like you
you aren’t broken or missing any pieces
there are so many beautiful types of love in the world; the way you love is just important as anyone else’s
i love you (platonically)!
Read this and read it again.
clenches fist. neopronouns are so fucking cool.
Just in case any of you were wondering what an m-spec lesbian was
what’s an mspec lesbian
I'm glad you asked,dear anon. An m-spec lesbian is any sapphic that identifies with both an m-spec label and the lesbian label. (M-spec means multispectrum,so any orientation attracted to more than one gender.) So they may be romantically attracted to multiple genders,but sexually attracted to women and feminine genders. Or they are attracted to all genders excluding men. They could be reclaiming the label lesbian, as it used mean any woman who had relationships with women,no matter the sexuality. This ended in the lesbian separatist movement of th 1970's. Finally, you have those that use it to show they prioritize their attraction to women, for whatever reason.
I agree with the labels not being contradictory towards whatever orientation you may be yet I have to add
heteromantics are queer and thus LGBTQ+.
You don't have to like the same gender to be queer you just don't follow amatonormativity and/or heteronormativity. Let me add, this is typically not by choice like how asexuals and aromantics don't have a choice in not feeling attraction.
They have a different experience than that of heterosexuals. You may not notice, as I am going to assume that you are an allosexual/romantic by your word choice, but this world is heavily sex and romance crazed.
I am an aroace demiboy and you won't believe how hard it is to live in a society like this. We do face oppression like you as well, I'm not going to argue which is worse homophobia or aphobia because oppression isn't a contest but we do have to face discrimination as well.
Not just corrective rape and conversion 'therapy', but some doctors even put ace patients off of meds if found to lower their libido. There is nothing wrong with feeling no sexual and/or romantic attraction yet we feel broken for years. When we hear the terms asexual or aromantic we realize there is nothing wrong with us afterall.
You have to remember that this community was made to protect everyone thrown out by the amato/heteronormative society. Asexuals and aromantics experience oppression and need support just like everyone else in the LGBT+ community. Instead of infighting and saying who gets to be allowed in or not lets actually fight discrimination.
Is this person trying to say that being ace or aro makes you less of your sexual orientation…? This is just,,, so silly. A gay ace or a gay aro isn’t “basically” gay, they are gay.
Being gay doesn’t make you any less ace and being ace doesn’t make you any less gay. They aren’t contradictory! Same goes for every other sexual orientation and with being aro

“Why would anyone without dysphoria even want to transition?”
…Because humans are complex animals who are motivated by things other than avoiding pain?
