@danishcookies I don't run into gatekeepers, but they're not necessary at all for making you feel like you don't belong when you can't relate to anyone already and the people around you don't care about being considerate.

I figure. Those who stay silent in the face of oppression is also accomplices.

Don't let reactionaries make you feel shame. Gatekeepers are the bane of communities and they need to be purged.

@danishcookies
Sorry, to break the big gay narrative about being just like straights, just with a teeny difference, but...

Actually, not really. That's all about access to privilege under capitalism, which doesn't happen without identifying someone else to exploit in your place and I knew from my first Ursula K. LeGuin novel that I wasn't the sort of person who could do that

@AceNovo
What really bothers me is that these "true lgbt" people think that the moment they ought to check their privileges to other queer identities it's somehow an attack on their own.

"Back in my day, we decided that gender was largely a social construct, and screwed each other indiscriminately. Those were the days. You could just hook up with somebody and not know what they were, and not care. It was raw and it was beautiful."

adblocking 

years ago, someone might've said "but what if facebook, twitter, google, and your favorite news sites couldn't afford to operate anymore?" as an argument against adblocking.
These days, that's actually a fairly big part of why I block ads in the first place.

adblocking 

If you try to convince me that adblocking is against my own interests in the way that many have before, what you might not fully understand is that I *do not care* if the entire commercial web goes belly-up. It'll be a blessing if it ever does, and couldn't happen too soon.
This is not just me getting tired of annoying ads, this is a rational and premeditated decision that I'm not going back on. Fuck advertising.

The Purge Done Right, Altruism, We can only dream. 

Now you know if Libertarian was like this and not a love affair with Corporations I'd much prefer it. Now I will scream from roofs Altruism is more natural than selfishness and ego-stroking.
