The Airing of Grievances

Bloganuary Prompt: What do you complain about the most?

The one thing I bitch about the most? Heteronormality.

Nah, scratch that; it's how binary everything freakin' is.

No, wait! How I'm expected to be androgynous because I'm non-binary.

No, wait, it's how the [insert community here] has a racism problem it refuses to acknowledge.

Okay, let's go with that one. It hurts my heart when I'm hit with racist microaggressions when I exist in queer-forward spaces, on top of the general history of Whiteness marginalizing anyone that isn't white.

Wait, no, let's take it a step further with [community] has a [bigot] problem it refuses to acknowledge, if not actively encourage. And it really hurts when it feels like these peers should get it, you know?

Because why the fuck is biphobia still a fucking problem in the overall queer community? I've friends who are currently shouted down and erased because they're never seen as queer enough.

And all of my Black peers stay away from the Hoteps of the diaspora because they insist on hetero normativity, and toxic masculinity.

You know what? It's bigoty. That's what I complain about the most.

That's it, that's the post, because I'm tired of repeating myself ad nauseum. We'll be here all day with the long list of examples I can illustrate.

A bitch is tired. I'll probably expand on this at a later date, complete with personal anecdotes. But for now, just allow me to get to the point:

Solidarity ain't shit when you're still a fucking bigot.
