You know what, fuck people who force writers to reveal their trauma in order to justify the stories they write. No consumer is owed an explanation for the content a creator creates, and no creator should feel obligated to draw from or admit to pain that may or may not be in their life in order to craft a work of fiction.
“I had an idea for a story” is all the justification you need to write one, and all anyone needs to let it be.
im capturing my own tags here so that they can be saved with reblogs. because this post triggered an epiphany of self love that i needed today, and maybe it can do the same for others!
Conservatism is all about absolute submission to heteropatriarchal norms.
[ID: tweets by Foz Meadows @fozmeadows:
just so we’re crystal clear: queer rights, trans rights, children’s rights and women’s rights all hinge on the concept of bodily autonomy, which is why conservatives are trying to violently strip that autonomy from ALL these groups at once. every struggle is interconnected.
I cannot say this strongly enough: ANY TYPE OF GENDER NONCONFORMITY IS THREATENING TO CONSERVATISM. a married, cis, straight women who’s childless by choice is as dangerous to conservatism as a little trans girl with pink hair, because BOTH defy heteropatriarchal norms. End ID.]
