Sirenium - I Will Bite For Multiple Reasons (and I Have Rabies)

WE WERE ROBBED BY DE

little pride glyphs with the cursed family since we didn't get anything :v

I love stealing shit from TERFs

had one say 'b-but since we're lesbians the flag is ours by default!' based on lesbianism? I guess. The only problem is that people associate the flag with TERF lesbians and that's when intervention happens, cuz we should NOT let this historical flag be reduced to a hate symbol.

bi lesbian flag combined from bisexual & labrys

based on this post, which was made by a radfem but i'm reclaiming it because i believe that we should not limit or define such a beautiful, meaningful, and historical flag to people who are not welcome in our community. the more we use it for our pride, the less it is a symbol of their hate.

of course, if you do not feel comfortable using this flag then you do not have to whatsoever. it is a personal choice and i do not wish to force this on anyone. we should be allowed to use whatever flags we want to express ourselves!

hate will be blocked and/or deleted; thank you for showing respect!

After seeing the Warframe Steam page I just have to say: good on you DE for sticking up and celebrating LGBT+ and fuck the bigots that act like only cis-hetero people have a right to anything while ignoring one of the core reasons why LGBT+ (and other groups) have months to them. Because they've been DISCRIMINATED AGAINST and treated as other by bigoted neanderthal shitbags that can't stand anything outside of cis-hetero male and generally white. People should and have every goddamn right to be their true selves and love who the fuck they want; with or without bigots approval. I don't give a single fuck if "your culture" is what you lean on to try to defend bigotry as at that point fuck that part of it. Bigotry is a scourge and disease that deserves to be drowned out of existence.

Who knew that a game that freely allows players to shift from masc presenting bodies to femme presenting bodies (the frames); had a non-gendered only viewing walking camera while on the Oribiter once upon a time ago; and then presented character customization that doesn't gender anything just shows traits + allows for blending + at any point changing it to another = a game & company that is progessive and respecting people not one that caters to the disgusting inhuman bigots. Kudos to Warframe, kudos to DE, and fuck the bigots.

im glad people are becoming aware of how fucked up it is that folks online have almost completely forgotten about trans, intersex and other identifying folks who have gotten bottom surgery. the only times it's brought up, it is to be cruel about the result of the surgery, always saying heinous things about it.

nobody seems to embrace or celebrate for folks who have gotten bottom surgery. we don't have to ignore or demonize these folks, they are still trans, unless they personally now identify as cis. most people who get these surgeries still identify as trans or intersex but even if they don't, we should still celebrate for them.

getting bottom surgery is not a gross thing or something to look down on. these folks are doing what they need to in order to feel like themselves. why are we more accepting about folks who get top surgeries, breast removal or augmentation or experience breast tissue growth, but completely outcast people who have gotten bottom surgeries?

why are we unnecessarily fixating on the genitals of strangers again? the status of their post-op genitals are none of your business. you are not entitled to know the status of their vagina or penis. that is for them and any potential partners to know about. people who have gotten bottom surgery are allowed to love that part of their body, no matter how their surgery affected them. it's none of your business. stop focusing on the genitals of strangers when it doesn't concern you. don't speculate on what post-op genitals are like if you don't have them, yourself.

this reminds me that I went to a pride event one time, and the flag vendors didn't have any intersex flags. This is a mild example of erasure, but an example no less.

Intersexism is clinical. It's sterile. It's professional. It's systematic. It's efficient. It is horrifically violent, yet quiet. Disarmed, portrayed as care. And worst of all, it has successfully erased us.

Nobody knows what intersex means.

Nobody knows what our flag means

Nobody knows we even exist.

For me at least, intersexism is the most visceral form of bigotry I have ever had the experience of living through and witnessing.
