use inclusive language when talking about abortion and reproductive rights or die.
you know the piece of art in my last rb made me realize why i dislike most disability related art. and it's that a large portion of it (especially on here) has messaging about ableism. like in the art itself it will have quotes regarding ableism. which is cool and fine, but i am SO tired of the constant trauma and reminders of trauma around my physical disabilities. for once i want to see someone like me just exist. i want to see them happy and peaceful.
it reminds me of how people finally started to view LGBTQ trauma p*rn movies. we as queer people are traumatized constantly. ENOUGH media about queer trauma. where is the queer JOY?
i feel exactly the same about disability portrayed in media/art and otherwise. where is the JOY?
i made one for us as well
Mel to the rescue ☀️
Man what the fuck is it that makes people think intersex advocacy is transphobia
I was explaining how this art with trans colors would go better next to a personal essay that was made by a genderfluid intersex person than my own essay because they are trans and I am not and often intersex erasure is done via sliding us into some other category plus it erases the unique experiences of trans intersex people to conflate transness and intersexuality
And my classmate, who is trans, said "it's fine if you don't want to be associated with trans people" like girl. Ma'am. I gave you TV Glow on my ONLY flash drive and you never returned it. Everyone in my life is fucking trans! Do I fucking LOOK like I'm trying to not be associated with trans people? I'm asking people who know and respect me to know and respect my fucking identity.
My partner, who is both trans and Mexican, agrees that this shit is like "Hey I'm actually Cuban, and while I have experiences in common with and solidarity with Mexicans, I'd rather be associated with Cuban culture since I am Cuban. Maybe this person who is both Cuban and Mexican is a better fit to put by the Mexican flag art." And then having someone be like "its fine if you don't wanna be associated with Mexicans." Like. Is that what was said? Is that the energy being given?
That's what's happening here. I feel fucking insane every single day. The way it's happening irl and I'm literally just asking for people to remember I am intersex and not trans. Why is saying im not trans somehow me being fucking transphobic. Please explain. Why is forcing intersex people to overexplain again and again while we face the same violence as trans folks plus extra fun medical rape and whatnot somehow FINE to so many people? This person is a fucking tutor acting like this, too. Grow up
Do yall ever just
