9·26 days agoIn my opinion this is one reason why labeling one’s sexuality is counterproductive. Humans are changing beings and we always limit ourselves by the labels we put ourselves under.
There are certainly positives to labels, especially in that it helps people understand you better quickly, but i think the trade off is still valid… is it truly beneficial for one’s particular sexuality and the cultural connotations of living under that sexuality to be a core part of one’s identity? as queer people, we do share experiences from the systemic injustices that affect us, but it is under those labels, such as queer and lgbtqia+, we should identify with, rather than categorizing our complex selves into simple boxes that limit ourselves from exploring our own sexualities

1·2 months agoi don’t really disagree with you… overall, yes, anyone who supports genocide from their government sucks! but giving ourselves a reason to be prejudiced against a group of people is how we make another genocide, not fix the ones that are happening. i don’t think being careful about racism is a ‘vaguery’ or a ‘minor detail’. thanks for the conversation! ✌️

1·2 months agowell, if you mean most israelis, then say most israelis. assigning an opinion to an entire ethnic group is racist regardless of the opinion

11·2 months agoyes, the israeli government is racist and israel is conducting a genocide. saying all israelis absolutely love killing and must be immediately flattened is also objectively racist





As a member of LGBTQIA+, i may or may not like to see a flag on a government building, but ultimately how could it affect me so much that my personal rights were violated?? that’s nonsense to me. i don’t think any harm would be done to fly a lgbtq flag, or a christian flag, or any non-political flag occasionally to support and promote inclusion of various communities
