Every queer person I know over the age of 30 is fucking appalled by the state of the queer community, and I have heard some absolutely stellar anti-gatekeeping tirades from queer grandparents. I had a long conversation with a 43 year old pansexual who told me the infighting is almost certainly because we’ve collectively forgotten our joint history and have become more interested in individual social clout than actually advancing the movement for across the board queer equality.

So this is a reminder, I guess, that our elders are on our side. The gatekeeping and the exclusionary behavior is crap.

hi! queer person over 30 here.

y’all are in-fighting because you’re too fucking entitled to look after your own interests. and i don’t mean this in any “wah wah Milennials are killing the drive-thru industry” way. i mean, you feel entitled to your rights.

you are used to things improving. you’re used to having marriage available to you, and openly-queer books and films, and Pride marches, and generally a feeling of safety and acceptance. you’re not used to your friends dying from a horrible “gay disease,” and not having any place to bury them. you’re not used to being treated like lepers. 

this is what we wanted you to have. 

this is what we wanted for ourselves.

but.

you are getting complacent.

you think that those rights can’t be taken away? you’re wrong. they are immensely fragile. they can disappear in an instant. and they will, too, if you don’t put your differences aside and group together fight for them.

we’ve taught girls to romanticise nearly everything a boy does. when i was younger i thought it was cute that boys chased the girl even after she said no. i loved it when after a girl moved away from a kiss, the guy would pull her back and force it on. i thought a guy saying ‘i won’t take a no for an answer’ was passionate and romantic. we’re literally always teaching girls to romanticise abusive traits.

That also goes for using ß as an aesthetic B. 

On my old server, there was a character named ßillyßadass.

This never failed to make me laugh, because that letter is not pronounced like B. It is a sharp S. 

That guy named himself SsillySsadass. 

Also to people who you Σ as an aesthetic E

NOPE

No worries, that’s a Bobbit Worm. They live on the ocean floor, and unless you’re able to withstand a ton of pressure, you likely wouldn’t have your toesies nipped off by one since they live deeper than people walk on the ocean floor.

Bobbit Worms are kinda cool. And they were named after Laurena Bobbit, who cut off her abusive husband’s penis and threw it out of her car window as she drove off.

Wait.
