I Love Stories Like This. It Illustrates How Intolerance Isn't As Rampant In The Real World As It Is

I love stories like this. It illustrates how intolerance isn't as rampant in the real world as it is online.

Hey, for everyone saying xenogenders are chronically online: Today in psych class we talked about gender dysphoria and I got to illustrate my view of gender graphically. It looked like a venn diagram with four heavily overlapping circles - one of them was xenogender.

My class was ENTIRELY receptive to it. This receptiveness included a straight, cis, white, christian male who had never heard of it before. And he was totally cool with it! We even took two minutes going on about what our gender would be if we described it in xenic terms. My teacher said he'd be the point of a mountain that intersects with clouds in the sky. Another said a ball of lint. I said the ocean. Not one of us said it was "impossible" or "cringe" or any of that xenogender-phobic shit.

If you're xenogender you're valid. The world, the real, offline world thinks so too. What's "chronically online" and "cringe" is being full of hate.

Either I need to stop posting so much in tags or tumblr needs to figure out how not to recommend my own posts to me💀

Cluster b? Don’t you mean Clusterfuck?

Fake-claimers when someone isn't outwardly suffering enough: they're FAKING. It's CRINGE.

Tw r/fake disorder cringe

[ID: a reddit screenshot from r/fake disorders cringe. The name and profile picture of the OP is blurred out, but the amount of time that has passed since it was posted — 355 days ago — is visible beside the blanked out username. The content of the post (that's visible in the screenshot) is a title, which reads 'Someone made a pride flag for their personality disorder😧 [shocked face emoji]' end ID]

God fucking FORBID a mentally ill person makes a silly little flag for their silly little mental illness! What? Awareness? Pride instead of shame? Fun? Sorry no, you have to be suffering CONSTANTLY to be mentally ill, because some fuckface on reddit said so! (HEAVY SARCASM)

And yes, I'm pissed off about this. Why? Because mentally ill people can't fucking do anything without being ridiculed. Shut the fuck up and let us EXIST and be VISIBLE. GOD.

The real harm to the LGBTQ community is done by exclusionists. I'm sorry about your experiences, OP

i wish i felt safe in wlw spaces, but ive been so ostracized by exclus on so many occasions where i often find i become scared and closed off, especially with cisgender lesbians. it hurts that i've been isolated from a community i absolutely belong in over identity discourse. im not even referring to just lesbian spaces, because i wont even go to those anymore, and im starting to feel as if i dont belong in ANY sapphic or wlw spaces at all.

its... sad.

Literally it's so frustrating. Like I'm really expected to control my anger when people do things that push me into a corner, because they 'didn't mean to uwu' ? Fuck off

I've gotten better with my outbursts but sometimes it's like people are purposely testing me just to turn around and play angel baby victim.

It's very common for people to push those with demonised personality disorders to the end of their tether via manipulation, bullying, abuse, etc. and then get upset with them when they inevitably snap.

It happens a lot within the neurodivergent community, too! People spread lies about us, do things that purposely upset/trigger us and then when we start to get upset/stand up for ourselves/etc. it's "sEE??? we were right about them all along!!!!"
