I’m going to establish myself as a writer who never writes straight relationships. Then, one fateful day, I’m going to introduce a straight couple. I will make them the healthiest straight relationship ever without ever saying they are a couple. I’ll keep it subtext most of the time. Still, they will be as well developed as my plethora of gay-ass characters. Then, just after subtext becomes maintext and they’ve finally admitted their feelings for one another and given in to those feelings
I’m going to kill one of them off for drama
17k notes. We’re so salty.
ok but kill the guy
did you know that in 1953 eisenhower issued an executive order which banned gay people from being employed in government
and it was specifically to root out lesbians who enjoyed the job security of government work
“To protect their careers, lesbian government workers moderated their behavior to avoid suspicion. They refused to socialize with other lesbians in public, attended social functions with gay men as their ‘dates,’ and carefully chose their wardrobes and makeup to project a feminine persona. Male employees who resented reporting to a female boss could trigger an investigation into her sexuality.” – Robert J Corber “Cold War Femme”
this era was called the lavender scare and was both a direct result of mccarthyism and the classification of homosexuality as a mental illness during ww2. over 10,000 lesbians and gay men lost their jobs and as a result the daughters of bilitis (the first ever lesbian activist group in the u.s.) formed in order to protect themselves and gay men
Important history
and it’s John Kerry’s apology for these events that was removed from the State Department website days after Trump took office
from now on “transtrender” means you’re trans and popular
fuck every democrat who says the issue of trans rights is a “distraction.” fuck every single liberal who say that the threat of stripping every trans person of legal recognition is a red herring or a losing issue and if we focus on it too long we’ll throw the election. we’re talking about human rights, access to medical care, sex education, discrimination, citizenship, and a whole lot else, for millions of people.
trans people aren’t a “distraction.” we’re human beings. the fact that so many liberals turn their backs on trans people is fucking despicable.
hot take: any leftists or centrists who are calling the govt’s actions to strip human rights from trans people a “distraction” are doing nothing but revealing themselves as selfish, empathy-devoid monsters who only care about problems that affect them and are reprehensible at best and active enablers of facism at worst
tea
The fact that ace people are still screaming for attention even as real LGBT people literally get our human rights stolen is so fucking evil. Like even if they were lgbt, betraying us like this is evil. They constantly use the word “terf” like it means nothing and then ignore trans people when we need them to help us the most. Fuck them.
yeah lmfao
And listen, trans women don’t oppress cis women. Trans women aren’t on the Supreme Court, trans women aren’t in the senate, or in the state apparatus at all. Trans women don’t control patriarchal institutions at all. Trans women don’t sexually harass or catcall cis women.
Cis women DO oppress trans women, tho. All the women trying to legislate me out of public spaces are cis. All the women who’ve tried to chase me out of movements and spaces that trans women helped create have been cis. All the women who try to get the state to commit violence on trans women are cis.
So no, there’s no reason for cis women to be “uncomfortable” or “scared” around trans women. Cis women who are part of the state and patriarchal institutions in general oppress other cis women on the basis of their womanhood, trans women cannot and do not. If u were consistent ud be scared of ur own reflection.
