there are two aro feels: when you think people are just exaggerating their attraction and crushes because they like being Dramatic or when you think there’s something wrong with you for not experiencing attraction like that and you fake crushes
Then there’s confusing platonic/aesthetic/sexual attraction for romantic attraction.
trump may be capable of spreading his transphobia, but he is 100% incapable of ever erasing the Trans community. Transgender people are not just in the SA, they are worldwide and are growing stronger and more vast with every day that passes. I have never once cared about trump’s opinion on the LGBT+ community in the past and I don’t care about it now, the Trans community will win this fight with flying blue, white, and pink colors I promise.
Please register to vote in the midterms if you can, it’s happening soon and it makes a big difference.
if any of you have parents supportive of the trans community then tell them about this and make sure they vote maybe it will help??
This film was scrutinised by people from the trailer. People said that it didn’t show the bisexual Parsi performer everyone loves. As someone who just walked out of the theatre from seeing it, the film made it abundantly clear he wasn’t straight and wasn’t white.
People pointed to the fact Mary Austin was in the trailer and so it was only showing him as straight but he loved Mary. He loved her so much. Read anything about their relationship and you will see that he loved her with a deep, deep love. This doesn’t detract from his relationships with people like Jim Hutton, but we need to remember he was bi, not gay, bi.
There were also some people that questioned if the fact he was a person of colour comes up. Yes, yes it is made very clear that he is a person of colour in the film. There is even some of the racist slurs he was thrown.
No one should walk away from this film thinking he was straight or white.
Supposedly invented by the Chinese, there is an ancient form of torture that is nothing more than cold, tiny drops falling upon a person’s forehead.
On its own, a single drop is nothing. It falls upon the brow making a tiny splash. It doesn’t hurt. No real harm comes from it.
In multitudes, the drops are still fairly harmless. Other than a damp forehead, there really is no cause for concern.
The key to the torture is being restrained. You cannot move. You must feel each drop. You have lost all control over stopping these drops of water from splashing on your forehead.
It still doesn’t seem like that big of a deal. But person after person, time and time again—would completely unravel psychologically. They all had a breaking point where each drop turned into a horror. Building and building until all sense of sanity was completely lost.
“It was just a joke, quit being so sensitive.”
“They used the wrong pronoun, big deal.”
“So your parents don’t understand, it could be worse.”
Day after day. Drop after drop. It builds up. A single instance on its own is no big deal. A few drops, not a problem. But when you are restrained, when you cannot escape the drops, when it is unending—these drops can be agony.
People aren’t sensitive because they can’t take a joke. Because they can’t take being misgendered one time. Because they lack a thick skin.
People are sensitive because the drops are unending and they have no escape from them.
You are only seeing the tiny, harmless, single drop hitting these so-called “sensitive” people. You are failing to see the thousands of drops endured before that. You are failing to see the restraints that make them inescapable.
A very civil and important response to a very douchey ask.
Lily from Hannah Montana was clearly a lesbian and her being straightwashed was one of the greatest acts of lesbophobia I’ve ever witnessed
sam from icarly????
a moment of silence for another iconic lesbian that was tragically straightwashed
coincidence that these girls were the same character archetype as maya hart? i think not.
we have stumbled upon a conspiracy it seems
jade from victorious
Miranda Sanchez from Lizzie McGuire
Kelsie from high school musical…
Harper from Wizards of Waverly Place
Characters like this contributed to the comp het I felt so bad because I saw myself in them and they’d hate boys at first and then eventually fall in love with them and I thought that’s what would happen to me. So yeah it’s a problem and all the straight people in the notes can shut up thanks
Oscar Wilde can’t tell us with words that Dorian Gray is a full out twink so he compares him to Ganymede and Antinous and hopes we know enough Roman gay history to understand.
19th century gay lingo is the only language I speak fluently fortunately
