No. All of the queer people I know hate the ally flag. Why? Because the point of being an ally is that you’re supposed to be supporting the community as one of us. By flying the ally flag, you’re setting yourself apart and distancing yourself from queer people. You’re essentially saying, “I’m not actually gay, I just support gays”. If you wanna actually be an ally, fly a rainbow flag and let them confuse you for being gay. That’s where you’re actually putting yourself at risk, and that’s where true allyship exists. Otherwise you could be a coward and walk away whenever the heat gets too intense.

Yanno, because of all the fur.

I don’t have enough life experience to give advice on how to handle the kid thing, but the two who love shit talking, cheating and stealing things should probably be cut out of your life. If they’re causing you anxiety, then they’re not healthy for you to be around; and if they’re the kind of people who are resistant to personal critique even from friends, then there’s not much you can do for them. You can’t fix them, nor is it your job to do so; they have to fix themselves.

Mossy Feathers (She/Her)@pawb.socialto AskUSA@discuss.online•How has your daily life in the US been impacted by the current administration?English15·2 days agoI’m trans, with a trans girlfriend who’s Chilean. She can’t come to the US because she’s almost guaranteed to disappear if she tries to cross the border, legally or illegally. I can’t get my gender marker changed because I live in Texas, so a lot of women-only services that check IDs won’t allow me to use them. I can’t get my passport changed without risking it being confiscated or being arrested for fraudulent documentation. I’m in hell and there is no help.
QUICK, IS IT DEBIAN, DREAMCAST, OR ESTROGEN

Collective Shout is responsible for this shit for those of you wondering. They’re an Australian alt-right group who harass people for porn, LGBT stuff, and whatnot.

As someone in Texas, it is impossible for me to get that changed. Even federally, because despite the recently ruling that is forcing the feds to allow gender changes on passports, Texas will still get mad about you having the “”“incorrect”“” gender.
RIP BOZO. MAGA FREAK DOWN 🎉

I’m guessing not, stuff like this rarely is; however using services like Uber by myself honestly makes me uncomfortable.
I just meant “quit pleasuring an authoritarian shithead”.
Are you trying to tell me that you thought I was saying that sucking dick is inherently a bad thing? I’m a fucking furry. Are you actually serious right now? It’s not the act, it’s who you’re doing it to, ffs.
What a wonderful way to describe that. All you’ve done is make it even more appealing.
I guess I don’t count as being gay then? Go ahead, tell me how I’m not gay enough for you. :P
Oh my god, they are the worst. Sometimes they’re just clueless and will happily listen when you correct them, but I’ve found a lot of them will fight back and try to gatekeep. Because someone who is cishet deserves to be considered part of the community more than someone who doesn’t experience sexual attraction (asexual), romantic attraction (aromantic) and/or the concept of gender (agender). Because someone who is cishet should be deciding who is allowed in a movement based around civil rights for people who aren’t cishet.
If you don’t think it’s appropriate for white people to tell black people how to run their civil rights movements or how to run a tribe as an honorary tribal member, why would it be appropriate for a cishet to tell queer people how to run their movement? If you’re an ally then you’re here to listen and amplify our voices, not tell us how to be gay (and you sure as hell shouldn’t be policing our voices and tell us what is or isn’t queerphobic *looks at the painfully obviously straight tankies who crawled up my asshole and told me I was homophobic because I told them to stop sucking Kim Jong Un’s dick*)
