actually, it’s going to collapse. the bombs are only there to break the supports and compromise the structural integrity of the building so much that it collapses on itself. you would need a much more powerful bomb to literally blow up the building from the inside out since most of the energy would just be absorbed by th
straight cis people complain about lgbtq+ people shoving it in their faces all the time, but here’s the thing: we have to.
like. i’m trans. i have a trans pin on my jacket and a pretty clear HE pin as well (and I know it’s not about how easy the pin is to read: my old one was even more clear and the same stuff happened. every. day.). Yet, every time I go somewhere, I’m called a girl. People use she/her for me. They refer to a group with me in it as “ladies.” Even though I’ve clearly shown what pronouns to use.
I introduce myself as James and people call me Jane or comment on how ‘that’s an unusual name’ (with the extremely obvious for a girl going unspoken most of the time), and continue to use she/her for me. Sometimes, they ask me how to spell it (they ask me how to spell James.) because they can’t believe a ‘girl’ would have that name.
If I want somebody to stop misgendering me, I have to say out loud that I’m trans, use he/him pronouns for me. I have to remind them every day, every time they misgender me, until they stop. And they never do stop completely. Even if they met me after I came out and have therefore always known me as a guy.
If you want us to stop ‘shoving it in your face’ maybe pay attention to our signals first.
also @ cis gays: y’all do this too, i was too busy making the general post to realise that my example was v specific

Ah, yes. That queer anthem about ex-boyfriends. Written by a straight woman. Who had many ex-boyfriends. Whose song about ex-boyfriends is nominated as this year’s queer anthem. Despite being about ex-boyfriends. And being written by a straight woman. Makes perfect sense.

why nominate actual LGBT musicians and singers like janelle monae and sia when you could nominate a straight white women who darkens her skin to look ethnically ambiguous?
this is what lgbt women mean when we say we feel ostracized from our own community
Things that were true in a hypnagogic dream world I experienced last night (for like five seconds, while drifting in and out of sleep):
- “Ghosts we” was a popular slang phrase, meaning something like “I approve of ghosting” or “I ghost people,” used as sort of a macho/”alpha” boast (like, “lots of women are interested in me, I don’t owe anything to any of them”)
- Grammatically speaking, I don’t know whether it was supposed to be interpreted as “we [are] ghosts” or what, but that’s what it meant
- Violent J of Insane Clown Posse had recently changed his stage name to “Go Sui,” which was universally interpreted as a made-up “Asian” name that sounded like “ghosts we”
