This is the whole basis behind stuff like a movement around "Black Is Beautiful", or calling the gay parades in the wake of the Stonewall riots "Pride" Refusing to settle for the table scraps called "tolerance", saying "No fuck you, BEING ME IS AWESOME AND SOMETHING TO ADMIRE"https://twitter.com/perdricof/status/1377809348118904832 …

And it's so fucking easy for every other shitty peanut gallery loser to sneer at that To put on the uniform of a guard even though every single one of us is really here as an inmate, to find power in mocking and tearing down the idea of escape as a fantasy for immature freaks

Totally, and I think this is why the strategic decision to frame gender and sexuality as "born this way" has always made me uneasy. It's ultimately an appeal to tolerance - "we can't help this; it's not a choice." Well, what if it was? What, exactly, would be wrong with that?

This is why there's an "intracommunity dispute" with so-called "transmeds" being uneasy about the rise of non-binary identity and fluidity in the discourse Understandably, none of this is drawing-room debate, all of this is, as Abi Thorn put it, "high-stakes street philosophy"
