This picture was linked to me by a friend who was trying to cheer me up when I was feeling insecure about having a socially unacceptable physical presentation (for a woman), and worrying about that making me unattractive. I appreciate it a lot for cheering me up.

I remember in high school the ONLY lesbian girl in school would not stfu about how gay she was and how much sex she had with like twelve women and how she loves the gay channel on TV and pretty much only listened to song about people who were gay. And she would never shut up about it!! We get it, you’re gay!!! That’s fine, have all the lesbian sex you want but quit shoving it down our throats as if we don’t already know and quit bragging about it like you’re more special than anyone else!Ugh. I’ve never been a fan of the whole “STFU BOUT UR GAYNESS” attitude that seems to be prevalent a lot. Probably because it reminds me about internalized homophobia and straight privilege. Straight cis* males do the exact same things and don’t get any slack for it. As a matter of factly, straight people shove their sexualities down our throats all of the time. However, because we live in a heteronormative society, we’re conditioned not to notice it as much.
“You’re simply reenforcing[reinforcing] stereotypes, further making it harder to be seen as equals by those who dislike you already.”
As for “reinforcing stereotypes”: It’s not an individuals responsibility not to fit into labels, especially if said person belongs in a marginalized group. Oppressors are the ones who single out those specific traits, thus “stereotyping” and stigmatizing them. Maybe if we didn’t stigmatize said stereotypes, or maybe if we just didn’t stereotype at all, this wouldn’t be a fucking problem!
If you want to change the views of people who dislike you, you don’t need to change yourself: THE PEOPLE WHO DISLIKE YOU NEED TO CHANGE THIER VIEWS!
END OF STORY!
