rhodanum:

Here’s the hilarious thing, tying into this post. 

Who was at the forefront of that fucking cavalcade of utter shit called ‘het-partenered bi people aren’t allowed at Pride?’ Because it sure as fuck wasn’t the ‘cishet aces’ y’all are so concerned in keeping out. 

Who was at the forefront of that mess called ‘pansexuals are just confused bisexuals / want to be special snowflakes?’ Because it sure as fuck wasn’t the ‘cishet aces’ y’all are so concerned in keeping out.

Who was at the forefront of every single exclusionary wave within the fucking community, from the goddamn 1970s onward? Because it sure as fuck wasn’t the ‘cishet aces’ y’all are so concerned in keeping out.

Who made me feel as if I was having a fucking aneurysm and starting to doubt the community history I’d seen with my own eyes (”is there any proof that ‘queer’ was reclaimed for decades now?” asked over and over again) until I made hardcopy printouts and showed them to community elders, who told me ‘these people have no idea what they’re prattling on about here?’ Because it sure as fuck wasn’t the ‘cishet aces’ y’all are so concerned in keeping out.

Who shat all over MOGAI and all other very inclusive terms and is now actively trying to expunge/replace ‘queer’ with SGA, a term that centers same-gender attraction solely, leaves out intersex people and has been described as inadequate and close to erasure by polysexual people like myself? Because it sure as fuck wasn’t the ‘cishet aces’ y’all are so concerned in keeping out.

Who, within the community, hurt me and slapped me in the face over and over again and made me feel unsafe and unwanted, both online and IRL? 

Because it sure as fuck wasn’t the ‘cishet aces’ y’all are so concerned in keeping out.

Food for goddamn thought.
