Classist justice
myintersection:
Far too often, I’ve heard radical queers and feminists, in their hipster garb, talking their academic jargon about checking one’s privilege and being accountable, and in the same breath mocking poor people. It’s not always explicit. Actually, in social justice circles, it hardly ever is. Many of you know not to say words like ghetto or white trash, or at least I hope you do,...
GLITTER

sentiencenonetheless:
i identify as the inability of strangers to decide upon my gender; i am the embarrassing argument your child is loudly having with you about me while we stand together in line at the grocery store.
i am the argument, i am your embarrassment, i am the uncomfortable volume of your child’s voice, and i am the child, and i am its parent, and i am the...
I do have to get this off my chest though:
ourcatastrophe:
I’m hearing a lot of people talking about female-assigned-at-birth (FAAB) privilege in queer communities. This is not a thing. For it to be a thing, it would have to be a privilege in most or all contexts, all other things being equal. Cis straight women would have to be privileged relative to cis straight men. Butch lesbians would have to be privileged relative to feminine...

eyeballjellomold:
how do you deal with having a deep seated spiritual belief that a lot of people of your ilk (radical,queer,feminist,etc) have many misconceptions about because of a bunch of corporate assholes who misinterpret philosophy that preaches kindness to support their homophobic,racist,capitalist bullshit? how do you deal with your friends gleefully putting upsidedown crosses on...
dear gross arty straight white cis bro man, →
kidbijou:
did you feel like an outsider at our femme/queer event tonight?
oh gosh, were you upset that we didn’t go out of our way to welcome and accommodate you, a straight cis white man, at an event for & by & about femmes and queers and trans folks? [[MORE]]
let’s recap your participation in the evening, shall we?
you took far more time than anyone else during the time for...

Please stop. You’re not helping.
I know it must seem like a very progressive thing to do and that it’s coming from a desire to be seen as an ally, but I need you to know that it’s totally fine to tell me that your preferred pronouns are your assigned ones. It won’t make me think less of you, and it doesn’t help me to know that you’re “okay” with any pronouns. Let’s face it...
PLEASE REBLOG! Nearly There: A Queer POC Zine
feral-femme:
smallwahala:
What: Nearly There is a zine project meant to address the serious absence and silencing of stories about the experiences of queer people of color. After years of going to zine fests, libraries, bookstores looking for queer zines and POC zines and finding few to none, after years of existing as a queer woman of color and being sidelined in all those communities, and...
