Hello all, the name's Robyn! I'm horrible at the whole "about me" junk. I'm a girl. I like girls. It may be a little more complicated than that but I don't like to dwell on it. If something manages to grab my attention for more than like 3 seconds it will likely end up here.
nobody is “reclaiming” the labrys flag. its never been taken. just because some terfs on a blue blogging site said the symbol belongs to them doesn’t mean it actually does. it was never their symbol. the labrys is used as a recognizable lesbian symbol off the internet by a large amount of people and it isn’t a terf symbol. yall just base your entire perceptions of the lgbt community based off internet interactions and never leave the house ever.
Every time I have those little internalized homophobia demons preying on me making me wonder if I’m not actually gay I see a man in sweatpants and my homosexuality is immediately reaffirmed
See I love my posts because this can be taken both ways and it would be true either way
it doesn’t even matter if you’re gay or a lesbian this post is universal. You’re all welcome.
true mlm/wlw solidarity is seeing a man and thinking “im gay”
the athiesm of women/people of color/lgbt people is absolutely different than the athiesm of cishet white men and i feel like people forget that a lot
how?
Don’t have spoons for long explanation - also this is only speaking for christianity - but religion has been a force of oppression for women, people of color, and lgbt+ people and the rejection of the religion is often coupled with the rejection of how religion treats them.
I’ll also say that abuse survivors are included in this because it is a reaction to and an attempt to reconcile how (christian) god would allow abuse to happen.
For straight white men atheism is usually rooted in intellectual and rational superiority complexes. It’s a “i am more rational and intelligent than you, how can you believe in something so obviously fake” thing as opposed to a reaction to a societal institution that upholds their oppression and abuse.
Women, PoC, Queer people, immigrants, trauma survivors, etc: How can I believe in something that teaches you to be cruel? How can I trust the books that tell me of peace and love, when you use your faith to hurt me? How can a loving god allow [insert injustice of the day]?
White Men: I, as an Intellectual, eschew silly superstitions that say I might, someday, after my death, face one (1) single consequence.
