I will re-learn to play my shitty harmonica specifically for the reason of providing backdrop music for your screaming.

I’m imagining this and it’s a beautiful scene

Yeah, I just want to be pissed off…NOT IN A WAY I CAN SAY IN PUBLIC and I’m tired of taking the high road

YEAH 

Here’s a cut because I’m going to get into some of my specific frustrations

There’s a lot that makes me angry, but what is getting to me most right now are all the straight cis people pretending to be so ~supportive of LGBT~ when I KNOW they are shitty about a lot of things. Like my sister posted a “discrimination is not a part of my religion” thing and it’s so hard to not be like SIS YOU DON’T THINK TRANS PEOPLE DESERVE RESPECT AND RIGHTS SIT DOWN (shit came out at the end of my gender questioning. and I kind of don’t doubt shit would come out if I decided that whoops I don’t like girls after all) (NOT TO MENTION THE ANTI-ISLAM SLANT OF EVERYTHING IS DISGUSTING.) I thought about unfollowing people on/getting off facebook for a while, but then I’d miss updates on things I want, like my niece’s ballgames and shit.

And so it’s so so tempting to either confront people I’m close to individually or else make a post like hey, straight cis friends and family it’s great you’re sad about these murders, but it’s not enough. If you’re declaring yourself an ally, I’d better see you working to accept, respect, and protect the entire spectrum of LGBTQIAAP+ identities.

(Also the fight I had with my mom about it all was RIDICULOUS, just imagine every stereotype awful thing she could say and you probably have the right idea, it started with her asking “why do they come here to kill us” and ended with her telling me I judge and hate her for being a straight white woman (really. REALLY.)) (She commented on the one post I’ve made about this saying she loves my “compassion and honesty” and I’m like. wow you sure don’t like my compassion and honesty when I tell you to stop being racist or correct you on people’s pronouns)

I’m at work and will reply to you guys later (I LOVE YOU THANK YOU) but while I’m thinking of it I want to ask– do any of you need a tag for use of the d-word? I used it last post without thinking about this, and may continue using it in situations like that because the particular connotations fit my anger (and it’s one of those words that makes straight people uncomfortable when /they’re/ not the ones throwing it around)

PLEASE LET ME KNOW

Ugh I’m so angry I want to fight SO MANY people

I hate it I feel the rage coiled behind my every movement I feel poison coursing through my veins I am nothing but disgust and frustration that there’s no positive way to act on this because the only people who are going to listen to an Angry Dyke are the people who don’t need to and the way I see people, most especially my family, taking moral highground right now is infuriating

but I alright had a big fight with my mom about it and I doubt my sister or anyone else will take it any better

and still I want to scream about all the things they can do if they’re really as “anti-discrimination” as they want to pretend right now

thegestianpoet:

here’s the thing, right, about “love is love”: not all people who are victimized for being members of the lgbt community are in love, concerned with being love, or have the option to be in love. “love” is a marketable, palatable concept. there are folks whose gender or the way they present themselves prevent them from ever even having a conversation about “love” before straight people turn on them, there are LGBT folks who aren’t concerned with love and want sex or community or companionship or radical activism and all of those things are much less attractive to straight people than “love.” i am so supportive when people who are actually members of the LGBT community talk about love but i’m sick of straight people trying to trim off the parts of our community which they feel are messy and ugly and difficult to grasp

Straight cis people get mad when we make the whole “being lgbt” thing a larger part of our identity than they can stomach. It’s the “wearing it on our sleeve” thing; if we don’t talk about anything but our romantic relationships it’s easy for them to pretend we’re just like them! Normal! Wanting exclusivity and catered resources sours them on us because then they have to dedicate time to re-learning what it means to not be homophobic or transphobic. Anyway I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone put this into words this well before thanks

Coworker: we have to make people not want to buy the books we didn’t get enough of
Me: yeah they should buy… this one instead. *sarcastically* look it’s conversations with great authors like Paul Auster and Alison B- ALISON BECHDEL!!!
Me: *reads the Alison Bechdel chapter*
