203

I was kicked out of rentals multiple times for being visibly queer. I was scared out of some more by people who even moved after me, but made my life a living hell just for being queer. I was driven into near daily crying during highschool by my peers and sometimes even teachers. I was regularly spat on in public with no reaction from other people. I had a car full of tank top wearing men stop with the intention of beating me up when I was in middle school because they thought I looked too much like a "f*g". To see people, some of whom apparently so privileged they don't even experience systematic queerphobia as per own admission, claim us here aren't queer is so hurtful because it feels like it dismisses my entire lifetime of queer pain. Sincere fuck you to the people who make those claims. Maybe you are the one who isn't even queer and just sows discord amogus. trans-uno amogus

Yeah I found myself getting genuinely quite upset to see the vitriol over there. I've lurked long enough to know half the accusations over there are abject lies.

Yeah its tricky, its not like any of us are born with class consciousness and I know my journey out of liberalism was an awkward affair but even at my most lib-pilled moments I didn't go round crying about "the tankies".

Lazy politics is in right now though and to confront the failings of our own systems is a bit of an existential crisis moment when you realise just how silly things really are.

It's understandable, just not acceptable anymore. I mean how can these people see the erasure of women and queer rights under the dems or (equivalent neoliberal party, looking at you Labour party) or any of the other insane transphobia coming out of the west and possibly think these people have their best interests at heart? Cognitive dissonance doesn't even cut that level of sheer denial.

Like didn't the dems delay the gay marriage bill specifically till after the midterms to drum up support from the lgbtqi+ crowd or something? I can't remember the specifics but like imagine thinking a party that weaponises your fucking rights to manufacture support is on your side.

I'd tell these people to log off but I've seen them derail enough irl queer groups that honestly it's nice to see them contained to a weird little Liberal echo chamber.

Lmao sorry I'm venting now.

Nice to meet you too comrade 🫡
