i received some hateful words on Instagram from a fellow Muslim. the usual "oh you're not fasting for Ramadan? Don't be Muslim then." and also the usual "queer Muslims don't exist." I try not to let these things bother me. I ended up blocking this person because I really don't need that energy in my life. It just got me thinking.
I'll never be the "ideal" Muslim. Never. I'll never be able to pray 5 times a day. I'll never be able to fast for Ramadan (not because I don't want to. I do want to. I have health issues that prevent me from doing so.) I'll never be seen as valid because I'm queer. I'll never be able to give up certain spiritual practices i had in the past. I'll never be accepted by the general Muslim community.
And as much as I want to ignore all the people saying I can't be Muslim because of so and so, it makes me wonder if they're right. I'm trying my best.
no baby i believe you
can’t wait until white liberals/leftists stop making anti theist jokes and shitty takes and realise that there are plenty of queer muslims/jews/Christians that would much rather you lot actually listened to us and helped us rather than make dumb jokes about s*t*n when we talk about our problems/trauma. Allah isn’t homophobic/transphobic/racist/sexist if only you idiots actually listened to us maybe you would gain some appreciation for Abrahamic religions.

Queer Muslims deserve so much more recognition and adoration than they get. I hope you all know how absolutely worthy and important you are to the queer community!
Non-cis hijabi muslim culture is others expecting you to stop wearing hijab because you're Genderqueer
