Happy Easter everyone :)
Friendly reminder to everyone- if you ever see this quote you must destroy it by any means necessary.
Goodnight.
Yes, yes it did.
And then it couldn’t even apologise for forcing me into a label that contradicts my beliefs.

It is not just a “matter of preference”, it is my identity, and I am furious.
Bye safespacenetwork.
As part of the LGBTPQ community, there are a few things I take into account when granting allyship:
1. When you say LGBTPQ, do you really mean gay? We’re not all gay and many of us are more than gay (i.e., gay and trans, lesbian and gqueer, biromantic lessexual, etc.) When you support the “gay” community and erase anyone who isn’t good ole simple gay, you are no ally.
2. Not all queers are white. Yeah, believe it or not, PoC can be queer. Even Chinese sweatshop workers, you douche. Oh, and if you blame the black community for homophobia, fuck off.
3. Allies may talk with us, not for us. NEVER tell a queer person what they are or how to be queer. They don’t have to do this or that to be a “productive member of the community” (straight people have told me this shit, yes). You are straight. The fuck do you know about what it means to be queer?
4. We know you are straight. Stop saying it. We heard you the first time. And the second time. And yes, even the fifth time. If you feel the need to constantly reiterate that you are straight, it gives the impression that you want us to know that you’re “OK” with us, but not eve one of us.
Okay, those are all I can think of right now. I’ll add more and I encourage fellow queers to add as well
I love how the queer community always takes the time to recognize the intersection between disabled and queer identity—
oh wait.

I don’t understand why people oppose my inclination to shove people who think this way off a cliff. It’s like cleaning up trash.
And thiiis is why adoption is flawed. Because this is a common belief.
It gets better, I found this one on google:

So you’re trying to promote autism awareness by dehumanizing and ignoring disabled people…?
Wow fuck off.

Why I am crippled and not (dis)Abled, differently abled, or handicapable:
When you say that we are not disabled, when you say that we are “better than that”; that instead we are “handicapable”, simply “differently” abled, or when you haphazardly throw a parenthesis around an unsuspecting prefix, what you are really saying is that you are afraid. You are afraid of acknowledging the fact that someone can be disabled and still be human being, no more and no less than anyone else. You are afraid of our bodies; and try to lessen the blow by concealing them with normative labels.
When you say “See the Person, Not the Disability”; what you mean is: our bodies should be ignored and our experiences erased in order to make you more comfortable with our presence. What you mean is: Disabled bodies are offensive, macrabe, and they must be overlooked in order for the substance and the humanity of the person to be seen.
When you separate the person from the disability, you are erasing and denying a part of that person’s identity. People are not their disability, but their disability is a part of them, and you shouldn’t have to erase it, ignore, or see past it, in order to accept them.
