Something that I noticed throughout years of being "queer" on the internet; the deeper you go, the less being "default" is accepted.
Genderfuckery and complex sexualities are celebrated.
And it's great on its own!
Do we have to do it at an expense of people who find comfort in simple, default expressions and presentations?
Do we really have to marginalize out the "defaults" to celebrate the customs? no.
Queerness is not a cake and there is more than enough for everyone, but it seems like neither Fedi nor the wider community is capable of understanding it.
Ever since I got more comfortable with a more default expression of my gender, I've felt less seen and welcome. As if I'm not welcome here because not only I'm a (trans) man who likes other men, but also that my dream aesthetic expression is not that far from an average cis guy.
This is on top of transmisandry that infests the queer spaces.
I simply feel no longer welcome. And god someone better prove me otherwise.
@rangaku@tech.lgbt I have zero idea how to prove you wrong, other than saying that I don't really mind any expression. It's okay to be anyone you want, after all ​:ElainaSmile:​
