Today I was talking with cishet friend and she said she’s like on pins and needles around lgbts because she’s never sure if her words would be interpreted in bad way or how she’s never sure if something is offensive. I’m lgbt, asexual to be specific, but strangely I kind of related to that. Even with other aces I often find myself not knowing what some basic terms are, why they find some things offensive and some other are fine, not fully understanding things and so on. Sometimes I’m dreadful of asking because my lack of knowledge could be interpreted in bad faith (especially when it comes to gender related stuff because I hardly know anything)
We’re extremely queer, and we’ve also found ourselves having this problem.
Its a result of some people being primed and conditioned on social media to dogpile anyone who makes a mistake.
We’re trans ourselves, and we never know if there’s supposed to be a space between trans and gender or not.
I (🌺😈) like to play it safe and just call myself a tranny faggot 😉
