“queer spaces are for everyone but cis men! safe spaces include everyone but cis men!”
okay
- that will require stealth trans men to out themselves in order to receive help
- that will require closeted trans women to out themselves in order to receive help
- that will require nonbinary people who don’t “"look nonbinary”“ because they look too masculine to out themselves in order to receive help
- it will also alienate transfems & trans people who were AMAB who haven’t realized they’re trans yet from spaces that could provide them a safe place to explore gender & sexuality and be introduced to the idea of being trans
- trans people are eventually going to get uncomfortable with your hatred for cis men, because people who were AMAB are gonna wonder if you secretly hate them for being "actually men” and trans mascs are gonna wonder if you hate them for being men at all
- people attracted to cis men are going to feel uncomfortable when they try and bring up their love for men including cis men or bring their cis boyfriends/partners/friends to your spaces
- there are cis queer men & queer men who blur the lines between cis and trans and they have just as much a right to queer spaces as you do
- ^ intersex men also exist including intersex cis men
- there is never going to be a group of people who it is alright to blindly hate just because of circumstances of their birth or identity and every time you try you are going to end up hurting people. embrace compassion and nuance
edit: to be clear, “cis queer men” includes gay cis men, bi cis men, aro & ace cis men, etc. etc. & cis queer men who are verifiably cis are still very much queer
i see all these posts around here that are like “date someone who…” and all that’s fine and good but like i feel like they focus on cutesy stuff and leave some really important stuff out. so like yes, date someone who you can watch netflix with and pet dogs with and make waffles with but also
- date someone who will call you out on your shit
- date someone who thinks the sun shines out of your ass, but also knows you’re not perfect and will offer the support you need to change and grow
- date someone who doesn’t passively accept your flaws, but recognizes them and helps you deal with them
- date someone who you can disagree with but still love and care for all the same
- date someone who can understand where you’re coming from and help you through your rough times
- date someone who won’t enable your negative, self-destructive habits and tendencies
- date someone who doesn’t think “you’re perfect don’t ever change” but rather “i love you and will help and support you in whatever changes you need to make”
- date someone who sees you not as a perfect lover but as a human being and who wants to be with you even though they can see all your faults
basically date someone who’s going to be with you, not just worship you. and more importantly, be this person for your SO. do not put them on a pedestal and call it love.
