Until then - anyone pretending that the fight for LGBT+ rights was respectful and civil (and we were always LGBT+, even when some cis gays and lesbians were doing their best to exclude the rest of us - the rest of us were still fighting) - well, fuck that lie.

In Defense of Effeminate Boys If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I donβt know how I would have responded. By Ben Appel
No one before Ben has ever considered that trans women might actually be effeminate gay boys. No one has ever suggested such a thing to us, repeatedly, in a bid to prevent us from transitioning, or developed entire typologies around the idea, or reinforced it in multiple academic fields!

roadhouseendgame i was talking to my mom about cardassians and said something along the lines of what must it be like to be a cardassian civilian. like abstractly knowing the rest of the galaxy thinks of your species as 'the evil ones' and kinda sorta knowing your government runs labor camps and torture prisons and is a military empire, and it's a huge deal for everyone else in the galaxy, but you just like run a restaurant so it's not a big part of your daily life, so you just like, go about your day and make soup and don't think about it' and then halfway through my sentence i actually heard myself and then had to go sit down for like ten minutes. like sat down in a chair and stared at the floor for ten minutes
