The Queer Community Is Full Of Hurt People.

The queer community is full of hurt people.

This can lead to a knee-jerk reaction when we hear someone else say "I am hurt". We look at them and say "shut up, you're not as hurt as me because you have X privilege".

This leads to femme afab queers being told "you can pass and hide as cishet, you're not as hurt as queer women who look queer, you're just complying with the patriarchy's ideals for beauty, you're hurting the queer community, you're anti feminist."

It leads to masc afab people, whether trans men or nonbinary or genderqueer etc, being told everything from "you're not as hurt, you can pass as a cis man" to "you have no desire to transition, you still look like a girl, shut up".

It leads to trans amab people who are nonbinary or genderqueer or agender etc, who still dress or look "masculine", being told that they are "unsafe" for queer spaces, that they don't belong at a "women and nonbinary meeting", that they are "basically just cis men trying to escape accountability".

It leads to asexuals being told "you don't even feel sexual attraction, the thing we're ostracized for! how could you possibly be oppressed? You're just straight and a prude" and aromantics being told "you're just straight and like casual sex, get over yourself" and both being told "you're just a cishet who wants to steal resources".

I have heard every single kind of queer person say "I have been harmed and ostracized by the queer community". Lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and mspec people, trans people, aroace people - every single one of us has expressed feeling ostracized by our own community.

On the plus side, this means you're not alone. Your group isn't the only one facing this. You have allies!! Other queer people who have gone through what you've gone through!

We need queer unity. We need to stop attacking each other. If you feel the urge to say "shut up, my group has been hurt MORE", go take a walk. Remember that every single one of us has been hurt.

OC introductions!!

So, I just posted the speedpaint to this lovely lady down below, and because she is not just an OC, I am going to explain her on here, under the cut.

This is Harper Flex. She is the main character of an actual book I’m writing. I’m not very far into the book, but I have her fleshed out.

She is what is called a Hopper. She can jump through alternate dimensions. One of the best ways to tell if a person a hopper is if they have rarities with genetics. Harper has heterochromia, like her mother. Hopper is a recessive gene; meaning the both parents have to be Hoppers.

But, on the other side of that, they is a kind of government called the IHT (Inter-dimensional Hoppers Task-force) that Hoppers have to get permission to procreate with other Hoppers. Harper, in particular, was an illegal bread. Her parents fell in love, had her without permission, and ran away from the IHT when Harper was old enough to hop. Which was 5 years old. It was not till she was 12, that they were caught, and Harper's parents were sentenced to death. She was forced to watch her parents demise.

Harper grew bitter after that. After her escape, she never stuck around dimensions for more that a few days; the longest she has ever stayed was 2 weeks.

I don’t want to give away to much about her because of my writing. She is 16. Her parents names are Laik and Acelynn. That’s about all I’m gonna go into with Harper, but if you have any questions about Harper, or the story, don’t be shy, ask away. Don’t forget that I am taking requests too!!

Ahh yes. My two ghost boys. Real talk, though, this is the first time I’ve drawn Sal, and I think he turned out well.

Peek Danny’s compression shirt/binder ‘cus my personal head cannon is that Mr. Fenton is a proud trans man.

I should have the digital colored version up in a few days, so be on the lookout for that on my YouTube channel.

It is 20-FUCKING-19, and the fact the people, no matter their gender, no mater their sexuality, are still going through this disgusting process now, if FUCKING REDICULOUS.

We, as a human race, are prone to push labels and barriers into people. Barriers like men are not supposed to show emotion, all women not to did a dress size, students need to his a certain grade or they are dumb and useless; things that have been the cause and effect to many tragic events in history. AND I HAVE IT UP TO MY FUCKING DEVIL HORNS WITH THIS BULLSHIT.

People are people. Men can cry, women can be big, no matter what the FUCK is in your pants can be raped. Can rape. Unwanted sex is unwanted sex. THAT IS EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE SAID. When you cause any physical, mental, and emotional trauma to a person, it is your fault. Not the victim, because that is what they are. Victims. And the definition of victim is: A person harmed, injured, or killed as a result of a crime, accident, or other event or action. Any man, woman, person of no or multiple genders, and everyone else, I am whole heartedly, utterly, upset because you had to go through this horrible thing. It is not your fault, you were not responsible for the event, and even though you might hear this non-stop, everything will be okay soon. Just keep pushing forward.

Thank you for my TedTalk.
