jadore-softness:

My irl lgbt friends are always so shocked when I tell them about tumblr discourse and I almost feel bad telling them

Like the lgbt+ club I go to has gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, pansexual, asexuals, aromantics, binary trans people, non-binary people etc, and we all get along. We never fight, or at least never about stuff like on tumblr

As long as I’ve been going they’ve been inclusive of ace and aro people

I’ve seen the bi and pan people defend each other more than argue

There’s never been any question over whether or not nonbinary is a real thing

Wlw/mlm solidarity is strong as ever

I guess I just want to say. There is hope. Not every where in the real world and on the internet is going to be plagued by infighting and discourse. You will always be welcome and supported in the community by someone somewhere, no matter how loud the voices are that tell you you don’t belong
