Someone on my idpol post put in the tags “I DO think cis people should tell everyone they are cis tho.” I don’t! I don’t think cis people should need to disclose it. I don’t think straight people need to disclose that. I don’t think anyone should be forced to reveal their gender and sexuality labels no matter what they are, actually!

“It’s bare minimum as an ally” It’s not!!!! They’re not required. They don’t have to. It’s not that they “should”, they very much should not unless they want to. Straight trans people exist, that you desperately want to “out” as an ally and not a member. Questioning people who haven’t made a decision and default to “straight” or “cis” shouldn’t be forced to reveal themselves to you.

A well-meaning asshole in one of my zoom classes once approached me for being one of the only people who didn’t add pronouns to my name and suggested I add pronouns to “show (I’m) an ally.” Buddy, not only am I trans, I am so trans that I was struggling so deeply to distinguish what pronouns I wanted to use, after changing them in the past, and not only use but use in a legal professional setting.

The absence of pronouns wasn’t an absence of support, it was keeping a private struggle private until I knew how I wanted to be addressed. The most bland ass cishet looking motherfucker in the world could be grappling with an identity so complex it would make you puke, OR they could be cishet and it would be equally none of your business until they decided to disclose.

Too much telling people what they ought to do and not enough accepting them as they are.

done pretending that furries aren't an easy target online for bigots and a growing target in general right wing spaces and news because to them furries embody the sexual deviancy they see as inherent to being gay and trans (especially because of how many gay and trans people are furries). and if you deny it i think i will just beat you with a hammer for a little bit until im bored

furry hatred has always been fueled by queerphobia.There was an article maybe a decade or almost ago about a bunch of people that were big in the early 90s and 2000′s furry hatred on the internet (many of them from SomethingAwful, because everything bad comes from SomethingAwful) and how they admitted that yeah, furry hatred was because they were openly and unabashedly and unashamedly queer and that was not allowed.

I've said it many times before- possibly on this blog, despite how new it is. I'll say it again here.

I have a litmus test for whether or not someone has interrogated their beliefs, or whether they may be easily led, unaware, or an outright bigot.

It's furries.

If someone bashes furries just because (As in, the general "ew furries lol" kind of bashing), I know they fall into one of those negative groups- easily led, unaware, or bigot. They, at best, have not examined what they believe in any meaningful way, and at worst, have done so and decided that they like being a bigot.
