Like and reblog if your account is a safe space for trans lesbians. It feels like trans lesbians in particular get shamed and ridiculed a lot by people in and out of the community. If you’re reading this I want to let you know you’re valid and I hope your safe and doing well.
Maybe this is anecdotal but I know a fair amount of aces and literally none of them are cis and het. Cis and het aces/aros are rad and valid of course! But the fact that I don't know any, yet one of the major exclu talking points is about cishet invaders, is so suspicious. I know 1 cis ace and she's a lesbian, the rest I know are all trans + nb and none of them are het either. The one aro I know is also a lesbian and nonbinary (frat boy stawman argument destroyer lol)!
I think one survey said only 1-3% of aces are cis and hetromantic. They matter and I will go to bat for any, but it’s definitely using a minority of a minority agaisnt the whole.
Tragic: this song's actual lyrics don't fit my blorbo as well as the lyrics I misheard
Reblog if your blog is not a terf safe space
It drives me fucking bananas as someone with a learning disability when someone says “just study harder.” Like I’m not already doing everything I possibly can to stay afloat. I’m already on the verge of mental collapse, if I do any more I’ll fall apart. I’m not capable of studying any harder, Karen!
I feel like it would be useful if people conceived of causing emotional harm to others more through the lens of being the emotional equivalent to stepping on someone’s foot. Like obviously you can step on someone’s foot deliberately and maliciously, but most of the time if someone tells you you stepped on their foot you’re going to go “oh sorry I didn’t realise!” and stop doing it and try not to do it again. Getting caught up in how it makes you feel to be Someone Capable of Stepping on Others’ Feet would be a transparently self indulgent distraction from the other person’s pain, but also like… that’s just a status you hold by virtue of being human. Never ever ever stepping on someone’s foot is not really achievable, and therefore is not necessary to being a Good Person: what matters is that you do not step on others’ feet deliberately, and – most importantly – that you react kindly and calmly to any inadvertent foot-stepping you have been doing being brought to your attention, so that you can make best use of it as something that will help you reduce the amount of foot-stepping you will do in the future.

Hades: [holding up a picture of Persephone] Have you seen my wife?
Iris: No I haven’t. Is she missing?
Hades: Oh no she’s fine. I just want people to look at her. Isn’t she perfect?
