Being a kid was so fucking funny we’d just go around lying to each other’s faces constantly to impress each other one of my classmates told me he was the first person to visit the sun and when I asked him what it was like to prove he was lying he said he didn’t remember because they sent him there when he was just a baby and to this day the mental image of NASA launching an unsupervised baby into the sun still makes me crack up

to be lgbt is to be or act with regards to gender in ways that society views as deeply deviant and subversive, and has historically categorized together as a special kind of deviance. according to cis heteropatriarchy, trans people are the wrong gender, and act in wrong gendered ways, relative to their birth assignment, and gay and bi people are attracted to the wrong genders for them and have wrong gendered relations with other people. the common theme of gender here is not an accident; it is not coincidental; it is the basis of lgbt people’s oppression. it is the system whose rules we are punished for breaking.

covid19 is exposing that everything we think is real like money and politicians and celebrities is totally made up and the things that actually are real like human compassion and social consciousness and love are genuinely necessary for survival

I think a common misconception is that lesbian, gay, bisexual are "neat little boxes" that a lot of people don't fit into but that's not the case. Each label encapsulates a lot of different experiences and approaches to attraction. A lesbian that doesn't want sex is still a lesbian, a bi person who struggles to tell the difference between platonic, romantic and sexual feelings which differs or doesn't differ according to gender can still be bi. A gay man who isn't all that interested in dating is still gay. These are not limiting labels and not every person who uses an lgb label feels exactly the same about attraction.

if you believe that lgb labels are close minded, exclusionary, or somehow not enough than you don’t understand how these identities work and what lesbian, gay, and bisexual mean. that is on you to educate yourself, not on us to reinvent our words or create new ones to encompass experiences that were already fully included. full stop.
