If only DW had an option for a like or kudos button, because I'd be slamming it for this post until the day I died, even if it just screamed error messages at me after the first one.
1) it boggles my mind when people drop shit like "I hate *insert label here*" within the queer community, because identifying a certain way or being attracted to particular individuals doesn't... equate to... other things? Just because you like smooching the ladies doesn't mean you need to look or act a certain way. It just means you like smooching ladies. Why is this so hard.
2) I am so sorry you've experienced this :( it really breaks my heart. As someone who is nb, I kind of just want to punch these chucklefucks in the face for being ignorant, hateful idiots. Just because you're queer doesn't mean you get a free pass on being an asshole. Shocker, I know.
3) I laughed so hard over the tyranny of The Three LGBTQ-Approved Haircuts™ that I won't be surprised if a moose comes knocking on a door mistaking That Sound I Made as a mating call, because oh my god can we talk about this????? I loaaaaaaathe how In Order To Be Queer, you need to dye your hair or have a particular shaved head or be ready for a Justin Bieber lookalike contest. Like fuck off with that shit. I got into an argument with someone (former friend ugh I'm so good at scaring off my straight friends...) last year when he mentioned how someone in our group of friends who recently came out as genderfluid wasn't "dressing like her gender" and.... well, you know me well enough that I'm sure you can imagine the PowerPoint dissertation I whipped up in a hot minute to prove his oblivious ass wrong. Or hell, I remember two or three years ago I had a conversation with a coworker and I mentioned my boyfriend and she said, and I fucking quote, "Oh... I didn't realize you had a boyfriend. You look like a lesbian."
Honestly, I don't know how I didn't murder her. But legit. Just because I have super short hair, don't wear make-up, and wear non-feminine clothes doesn't mean I exclusively smooch certain types of people what the fuck is wrong with you guys.
Even before I realized nonbinary was a thing (I'm more partial to gendernope, if given the option, but I also don't like how agender sounds, not to mention that opens up waaaaaaay too many questions from the cis crowd that I never signed up to answer), I always dressed like the punk goth village witch. And I still do that... just less form-fitting shirts and shit. I'm not here for this bow tie and button down shirts bullshit.
4) If I had a dime for every time I heard "But your gender is a sLuR1!1!1one" I wouldn't need a job anymore, I swear.... Fuck off, let me be the nonbinary queer thing with glasses.
5) You're awesome and I love being able to bond with you over quality queer shit ♥
