#intolerance of identity
Note
i saw you were opening this up!! i have a lot to say-
first of all, thank you for this blog. it's literally helped me so much in figuring out what abuse is like and helped me realize the kind of household i really live in.
my whole life i thought i was exaggerating or making shit up , that my experiences werent valid or crazy enough to be considered abuse. i literally forgot so many events in my life because i repressed them and because of that i feel like i cant explain my situation that well.
my parents and brother are incredibly homophobic and transphobic, theyre super fucking toxic to me and its horrible. when i was younger and was having a hard time in school because of a group of bullies, i called them to pick me up and when i explained what happened they told me it wasnt that big of a deal and it wasnt something to cry to them about.
when i was in seventh grade i had a panic attack at this church thing my mom was going to, and she took me outside while i was trying to calm down. i repeatedly told her "im sorry" for dragging her out and wasting her time, and she looked at me frustrated and said "you should be."
when i was questioning my sexuality they told me it was the devil lying to me and putting things in my head. they brought me to several pastors and churches so i could talk to leaders about it and they all told me that it was sinful and against god.
i came out as nonbinary last year, and my brother found out because he looked through my things, and then outed me to both my parents after i told him to not say anything. they said they refused to send me to any kind of therapist that wasnt a biblical one or a pastor and that im only looking for people who tell me what i want to hear.
my dad placed 30 minutes of screen time for tiktok, discord, and snapchat. he once brought me to a restaurant because he said he wanted to hang out, but when i got there he pulled out literal charts of bar graphs depicting how much time i spent on each app. then he told me he was going to either take away all my social media and online friends, or he was going to interrogate them. and i had to choose.
once in a family therapy session my mom said she would rather kill herself than let me join an lgbt support group. another time my brother came to my room and told me my mom was suicidal and that it was my fault. he said, "you think you have problems? you think youre depressed? mom is literally suicidal because of this whole thing with you. this is a wake up call. grow up."
another time, he (my brother) told me that i was a woman, that i couldnt change that, that its what it said on my birth certificate and no matter how much i called myself nonbinary it wouldnt change that im a woman.
recently, i talked to my mother about getting a new therapist. she gave me the phone number to one she found. and it was a conversion therapist. she was about to send me through a conversion program. this was a few days ago.
my parents constantly tell me that what they do is because they love me and want whats best for me and i constantly make a problem because i dont appreciate them or i get mad at them or i dont talk to them or i push them away. and it makes me feel like its my fault.
again, thank you so much for your blog. its helped me ground myself so much. keep doing what youre doing- seriously its amazing. <33
Yeah, all of us think we're exaggerating and making stuff up, it's incredibly sad we all get to not just get hurt, but constantly second-guess ourselves about it. Repressing and forgetting events is also extremely common too, it's out only means of defense against a too-painful reality.
I'm so sorry you had to deal with homophobia and transphobia at such a young age, and from your family members as well, it's devastating. You should have gotten support from your family members when you were bullied, being picked on and hurt by your peers is enough bad, without anyone acting like it's a no big deal.
It's so painful you were apologizing for having a panic attack, even in the worst pain you still had to think about what others might think and whethere you're an invonvenience. It's hateful they tried to stop you questioning your sexuality, you if anyone have the sole right to figure it out for yourself. Even to involve religious authority to shame you, that's sick! I hate every single pastor who had the fucking nerve to tell to a child their sexuality is sinful or against god, sexuality is something so natural and positive and you should have been celebrated.
It's incredibly hateful to expose you to religious abuse just because they found out, against your consent, that you're non-binary. They used religion as a threat against you, and as a way to control who you are, and are not allowed to be, and this is a crime. Your choice has been taken away and given into the hands of people who only had control and force in mind.
Your social media time is your own business, I can't imagine anyone punishing a grownup for something like that, the entire world is on the social media without any self control! You've done nothing wrong.
Your mother is awful. Die rather than for her child to have a healthy support. I'm so sorry you had to hear something so hateful, from your own parent. You didn't deserve that. It's not your fault. You can't control your sexuality, you can't control people's hatred. I wish you had more support during this. Nobody is allowed to blame you for hatred that's directed at you.
I'm so sorry that your family members refuse to accept your identity, and that they would do something so horrifying as conversion to you. That is not only dangerous but deadly, and it has never been done out of love. I hope you never get sent to a conversion program, because that is devastating and dangerous, I want you to stay safe, to receive love and support for who you are.
I hope in the future, you will meet people who will find you natural and delightful just as you are, who will share the same mindset and approve of every bit of who you are. You deserve so much support in dealing with this. I'm with you, and I bet a lot of people can relate to this and want to offer you community.

There's a HIGHLY concerning amount of videos by people who have detransitioned, and are speaking against gender-affirming care being, in their words, too accessible. They are frustrated about how nobody stopped them and that everyone was way too supportive and unquestioning, and they have caused 'irreversible damage' to themselves (oh yes, they love that Abigail Shrier book).
They often have this tone about how being trans was just a stupid, cringe phase in their lives. They frame it like they were misguided, too influenced by gender positivity, even though from how they were speaking about it, clearly that gender transition was what they needed at that time, and it made them happy, and it's ok if their identity shifted to something else now.
It's mind-boggling how a person that embraced being trans, even for a brief period of their life, can suddenly go and create so much damage to other trans people. Even if they tried and figured out this is not the right thing for them, there are so many people out there who need to try that path too. Bigots are using these detransitioners as a prime example of why gender-affirming care should be strictly gatekept.
And re: regret and so-called irreversible damage. I am saddened that these people's gender exploration ended in them adopting a close-minded, cis-centric worldview. Because even if their body did undergo changes, one should know that a woman with a deep voice and facial hair is still a woman. And a man with breasts is still a man.
#my gender identity has been changing recently (transmasc->nonbinary feminine leaning) and im trying to find more people who talk about it#but all im seeing is this gatekeepy toxic bullshit!#stop being ashamed of trying different genders!#everyone should be allowed to explore!#this logic is so flawed to me#its like saying dairy should be banned because you drank milk once and found out youre lactose intolerant

thinking abt how the master and yaz both see the doctor having something they want - power and friends - and the only difference between them being that yaz concludes that must be because of something the doctor is doing and is thus in her reach if she copies her well enough, whereas the master concludes it's because of something the doctor is (and perhaps even goes looking for something to confirm that idea) and so is only in his reach if he becomes her in the most essential way - cant stand being defined by the doctor, has to be the doctor by definition
but in the end theyre both jettisoning a self in pursuit of a better one. the master's self-annihilation might be more loud and dramatic than yaz's quiet and gradual self-effacement, but the result, tecteun voice: as intended, is very similar on a personal level
#on a earth-in-danger level it's quite different but you know hfkjgjgh#smth smth truant officer right#it's not hard to manipulate the circumstances so that the master looks more like yaz and yaz more like the master#fucking obsessed with this triangle#the self/other identity stuff is just soooooo delicious#theyre all struggling with who they are#find it intolerable on some level#look for ways to make it less so#the doctor flees. the master assimilates. yaz is doing both.

my method of "getting better" has just been Do Everything Possible and latch onto whatever gives you any sense of purpose and/or joy. and i guess it's been working because i am definitely not in quite the same place that i was a few yrs ago
#like i have tried so many things#any opportunity for trying a thing that is supposed to be helpful is met with ''yeah sure why not''#counselors love me for it LMFAO#''its impressive that you're willing to try these things :)'' girl if i dont then I'll kill myself. it's not gonna hurt me to try#if it goes badly then i have a breakdown and maybe hurt myself but then i immediately move onto the next thing#and i can always draw shitty art. thats always there for me. i can rotate my OCs in my brain. i can watch a show or listen to a podcast#those are always available if nothing else works out#and maybe it helps that i have a deadline of ''if life is still intolerable by x time then you can kill urself'' dhfjdkl#operating by that makes me want to put in more effort bc theres a time limit#also doing all these things has given me a sense of identity outside of having irl ppl around me#i couldnt control that for a long time (very very very lucky to have joined the old lady group recently) so i had to make do#and it is hard and it is scary and it is very often nearly unbearably lonely. but when u throw urself headfirst into ur own stuff#then u don't focus so much on the Aloneness of it all. and also u get to post abt ur hobbies and stuff and make friends online that way#idk !!! it is a hard spot to pull urself out of but taking a single step at a time is incredibly helpful#trying things and doing things and keeping on trucking gets u thru it one way or another#pippen needs 2nd breakfast#suicide mention

I'm very weary of narratives and dynamics that paint people of color as like bullies, or intolerant/bigoted, or anything of the sort against white characters cause it's not that we're infallible either within specific communities or as a collective but like...idk like I feel like we're usually in these roles more often than not (its ESP Black women and girls, and Dark skin women and girls even moreso) like, esp when shows tout themselves as progressive cause knowing how Fandoms roll esp in regards to bleeding into actors off screen I just know there are people like going the hell in, because even when they're not bad people at all or just like a fleshed out human beings let them do one thing wrong, or do something fans don't like, people never shut the fuck up about it (look at Meredith and Amelia from Grey's vs Maggie and Bailey, esp in like the second half of the Grey's run) meanwhile white characters can never do anything wrong ever even when they're very much in the wrong which hmmm does that not also sound like real life?
#tbh this is about a lot of shows but I keep seeing clips of that show heartbreak high#and it's this lesbian couple I think and one is white and autistic and the other one is Asian#and I always see clips of the asian girl being very like abelist and mean and people talking about her#which she seems to always be ragging on her gf one way or another which obviously no one should be doing that#but again there's always an implication that we as woc are always the aggressor or mean#and it's like why did you make that choice#of you've actually seen it tell me if I'm wrong#but it's like I kind of can't unsee this dynamic it happens a lot in television and film#it's like when people wanna do this Black people vs LGBT ppl very much ignoring all the people with both identities#but also acting as if Black people are just so intolerant that we don't know any better or could even be supportive if not a part of#these groups#I'm sure this applies to other groups too I'm just speaking on my own experiences at this second#idk if I'm making sense it's like 3 am#random

By: Leigh Ann O’Neill and Brent Morden
Published: Oct 12, 2023
It’s Fall, and writers are submitting their best stories, essays, and poems to literary journals, which have reopened after the summer break. The readership for many of these journals may be small, but they are powerful gatekeepers for aspiring poets and literary authors. Many journals receive hundreds, or even thousands, of submissions every month, from which they typically select only a few pieces for publication. Of the works they publish, they nominate only a handful for prestigious prizes—such as the Pushcart, the O. Henry, and the Best American series—which can launch a young writer’s career.
In apparent violation of federal anti-discrimination law, a growing number of literary journals across the United States are openly discriminating based on race or ancestry in setting the fees they charge to writers submitting their work. By following the current trend toward race essentialism, literary journals are establishing an ominous precedent, while flouting the fundamental principle of equality under the law, regardless of skin color.
Submitting work to journals is easier now than it once was. Gone are the days of mass postal submissions and stamped self-addressed envelopes. Most journals have transitioned to electronic portals such as Submittable.com to manage submissions; and they often charge hopeful authors a submission fee to defray their operating costs. All you need to do is upload your piece, pay your money, and keep your fingers crossed. A single story or poem might be rejected dozens of times before it finds a home.
Even though these fees are typically quite low—five, ten, or twenty dollars—they can start to add up, especially when one considers that the payment for published work offered by these journals is often nominal. Historically, journals have been mindful of the hardship their fees can impose. Harvard Review, Yale Review, and many other prestigious publications offer need-based fee waivers or fee-free submission periods in the case of authors suffering financial hardship.
Recently, however, many journals have taken a different approach: They are assigning fee waivers on the basis of applicants’ skin color and ethnicity. At Ecotone (affiliated with the University of North Carolina), for example, “historically underrepresented writers” may submit earlier than others, and are exempt from fees entirely, regardless of financial need. A similar policy was implemented at Indiana Review (Indiana University Bloomington), where “Black, Indigenous, and Person of Color (BIPOC)” writers were automatically exempted from fees. (Non-BIPOC writers were required either to pay, or to request fee waivers on an individual basis.) At Black Warrior Review (University of Alabama), those who are a “Black, indigenous, or incarcerated writer … may skip the Submittable process and email your submission directly to the editor … for no fee.”
These race-based fee structures violate Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin by universities and colleges that accept federal funding. In the case of public universities, race-based fees also run afoul of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. And yet, this sort of overtly race-based treatment has continued largely unnoticed and unchallenged.
At the Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism (FAIR)—where the two of us serve as managing director of legal advocacy, and managing director of FAIR in the Arts, respectively—we’re actively working to change that. And we’ve already had some success.
Perhaps these developments should not come as a surprise. Literary journals are simply exhibiting the fixation on racial and ethnic identity that has become a mainstay of academia and mainstream publishing. But trying to atone for past discrimination by imposing differential race-based treatment on citizens isn’t just illegal in many cases; it also serves to stereotype non-white people as poor, beleaguered, and victimized. And it serves to overlook those who do need assistance because of disadvantages they’ve suffered in life, but who don’t possess the immutable characteristics considered to be an indicator of struggle and strife.
Moreover, these practices foster societal division by elevating superficial differences over all the elements we have in common. This undermines the sense of empathy, imagination, and intellectual freedom required to create compelling literature; and deadens the unifying, inspiring, and humanizing effect that art can have on us.
In the grand sweep of things, the submission policies of small literary journals may not seem to be an important issue. But it represents yet another challenge to our liberal values—and a harbinger of what kind of racially Balkanized society awaits us if we allow unconstitutional race-based policies to become the new normal in American cultural life.
Leigh Ann O’Neill is managing director of legal advocacy at the Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism (FAIR). Brent Morden is managing director of FAIR in the Arts.

oh there's unanswered questions about my identity in here
#maybe i would be better able to deal with certain internal conflicts that torment me if i had#some kind of framework by which i could apply a distinctly non-human identity to myself#i don't know if i'd need to think of myself that way Full Time as it were. maybe i drift in and out of it#i also don't have any particular idea of what i could think of myself as besides a human. or a fragment of the universe experiencing itself#it's the fact that said fragment is confined within the boundaries of a human that i find intolerable#actually this kinda seems like a recursion of my experience with being trans#maybe everything is an endless cycle of becoming and unbecoming

You might’ve answered this before but I couldn’t find anything and was curious- are the Seeds canonically homophobic LMAO
In my heart Faith is a cottage core lesbian that took it a bit too far and John is a really repressed angry bisexual
I haven’t found anything in the game that suggests they are! On the contrary, in that respect, they seem unusually accepting for an extremist religious group, and even too “liberal” according to Hurk Senior and Miss Mable.
Joseph says everyone is special and wonderful, or things like, “Our Family does not care what you are wearing, we only care that you are clothed. Our Family does not care where or what you eat, we only care that you are fed”, so my assumption is that who you love doesn’t matter to them, either; they only want people to have faith and follow the Father (or at least not get in his way).
#in fc6 antón’s government canonically is however#far cry 5#eden’s gate#joseph seed#miss mable also complains cultists ‘look too ethnic for [her] taste’#…okay wilhelmina…#she and senior are more intolerant than the cult#well when it comes to people’s identities at least#we know they can be VERY intolerant if you oppose them

in 2023 i suggest we lgbt people stop catering to cishet ppl's sensitivity and start being radical and intolerant
#sorry i said in 2023 im gonna try to post less discourse on twitter so im dropping this here instead#im personally definitively leaving the word queer in 2022. this word doesnt mean anything anymore in this time. it has only been allowing#cishets to feel entitlement to our own words and spaces and identities while acting like oppressors in those very spaces. im so fucking#sick of this. these ppl are so blatantly lesbophobic‚ homophobic and transphobic its insane. and they act like we're the intolerant ones.#cishet queers only care about their own interests. are so egoistical. its all about selfish identities and never actual‚ political‚ materia#l matters....since they have no actual political struggles to begin with. no actual oppressions. and they decide to speak in our names???#seeing my trans sisters get called terfs by queers makes me sick. seeing cis gays get excluded from 'queer' groups bcs they're cis (meanwh#ile those groups are open to cishet women) makes me sick. getting called transphobic by ppl who never transitionned and never will makes me#sick. they have destroyed the meaning and history of the word queer. its so sad#.txt

#so I’m currently identifying as genderfluid#which usually means I’m Girl or Girl Lite or No Gender#but the last couple of days have been really big Boy Days#which feels good to an extent but because I’m closeted and live at home with intolerant parents it also means a lot of dysphoria#because I can’t be myself as openly as I want to#and tonight I asked someone to blatantly call me a boy just for the good feeling#and they did and I INSTANTLY started crying#I’m frankly I’m worried about the possibility of being like really and truly trans because transitioning is simply not something I can do#I would lose my family#but the thought of feeling wrong in myself for the rest of my life is depressing too#I’m just hoping that I feel better about it in a few days when my hormones aren’t in Period Mode#while at the same time not necessarily wanting the feelings to change because I like feeling like a boy#anyway#idk I’m just tired of feeling like I have to hide#shit rin says#gender identity#gender stuff

ive said before i think the gallery scene is about the vault and extremis. what do you want? to make you feel powerless. when did i feel powerless? when it was submit or die and you held me for 70 years. extremis -> vault -> gallery.
but i forgot about this part:
they went so far as to claim the doctor’s identity. that was the goal right? that was the aim? to live like they do? to become them? the gallery scene is a reclaiming of an identity obviously but the loss of that identity goes back further than finding out about the timeless child.
“when i kill them it’s like knowing im in the right place doing what i was made for”
“what do you want?”
“kneel. say my name”
recognise me as who i was. acknowledge me as not you. i dont know what i am anymore at this point but i know who im not. im not you. im not the doctor. call me by my name.
#cant believe i forgot 'im doctor who' like thats just right there#thats just right there for the taking you can do whatever you want with that#of course it was also that episode that made the doctor lose their identity like it was before spyfall that 13 already was lost#they both blew themselves up#they both blew their selves up#theyre one#thoschei meta#also love the double meaning of 'held' like thats#in last of the timelords the master says 'keep'#'youre just gonna keep me?'#but thats not what it is#thats not what it was#the doctor didnt Keep them#they Held them#they held them. like with love#intolerable

Reasons we've un-integrated (fully, still way more integration than ever before experienced this week)
1. We have to go to work tomorrow, and nobody wants to do THAT as one person
2. Drank too much cow's milk with boba, and the stomach pains were SO bad without dissociation that we split momentarily to handle it.
3. This week has been stressful as hell (multiple outside-the-home mental crises, plus work call-ins, and more that I'm not wanting to get into.)
4. We ate cheese on our sandwich, and the stomach pains were too bad to handle while un-dissociated.
These are all very real events, but considering that 50% of them are "Alex made us intake dairy and it HURTS! You fuckwit, we're severely lactose intolerant!!" Makes me want to tag it as a shitpost.

Published: Dec 20, 2022
At the 2022 Venice International Film Festival, the film Blonde received a fourteen minute standing ovation. Understandably, the Cuban-American actress Ana de Armas, who played Marilyn Monroe, couldn’t hold back her tears. It was a beautiful scene, but something about it bothered me: only three weeks earlier, American actor James Franco had faced backlash after it was announced that he would play the role of Fidel Castro in an upcoming film—and the reason given was that he was not Latino.
Many might wonder why we should care that an American actor is criticized for “stealing” a role from a Latino. We should care because this charge is absurd, and the ideology behind it—which has become distressingly common today—fosters a culture in which blatant racism and essentialism is encouraged as a form of “social justice.”
Studios and casting directors can hire whomever they want for the roles they’re looking to fill, and actors are free to audition and vie for those roles to the best of their ability. So, what happens if the role to be performed is that of a racial minority, and a member of the racial majority is chosen to play it? It’s certainly possible that this decision was influenced by racial bias, but it isn’t reasonable to assume that this is the case—at least, not without actual evidence. There is no evidence that James Franco was selected to play Castro for a reason other than his success and talent as an actor, and his physical likeness to the character.
To claim that, by casting James Franco, an unknown Hispanic actor was deprived of an opportunity is to say nearly nothing at all. Obviously, whenever someone is hired for any position, someone else—in fact, countless others—must not be hired. But this does not mean that Franco is “stealing” the job; he is simply doing his job. Beyond that, the backlash against Franco implies not only that white actors shouldn’t play Latino roles, but also that Latinos should not play non-Latino roles. This thinking is limiting in a way that is far more difficult to overcome than the difficulties of securing an audition in Hollywood. In the same way that a Cuban should be free to play an American—as Ana de Armas has done to great fanfare—an American should be free to play a Cuban.
Thankfully, de Armas was not criticized for playing an American in Blonde—but that fact points to a double standard, where it is apparently fine to “deprive individuals of opportunities” as long as they are part of a majority or “dominant” group. Even though this is intended to make the film industry more open and inclusive, the logic behind it is potentially destructive.
I’m Cuban, and as I picture myself watching a movie about Fidel Castro starring James Franco, I can’t imagine caring that Franco isn’t Cuban. I would only care about how much he looks like the historical figure he’s interpreting, and how good that interpretation is. I would care about whether the movie was attempting to show the world the truth about Castro’s manipulative and sociopathic character, or if it was just another piece of propaganda justifying all of his crimes to please young activists who revere him. I couldn’t care less about where Franco is from, what his financial status is, or—God forbid—his sexual orientation. Why should I? Isn’t he an actor? Isn’t his job to make me forget about who he is and “become” another person for a few hours?
Some people clearly don’t think so.
Knowing the history of the United States and the struggles of minority groups to achieve equal status, one would think that this reasoning—that a person’s national origin, skin color, and sexual orientation are the most relevant aspects of their being—would not be popular today. After all, it was Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream that his children would be judged “not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” His goal was not to exclude white people, but to include black people.
The implication, which much of our extreme politics makes, that a human being can only properly understand and interpret another when their physical characteristics correspond is to judge them by the color of their skin, and to disregard the content of their character—in this case, their ability to perform a role. This goes against King’s philosophy, and takes us further away from his goal of achieving moral and social equality and reconciliation.
It is of course important to give people an opportunity regardless of their race, and to encourage the diversification of voices on the big screen, but mandated and superficial diversity is counterproductive and divisive. This kind of thinking is unfair to actors who want to step out of their comfort zone, explore other perspectives, and expand their ranges—which, incidentally, cultivates empathy for those who aren’t part of our in-groups. It is aesthetically harmful and discriminatory because it promotes hiring people on the basis of their immutable traits while overlooking their talent, skills, and merit. And it is not progressive, but regressive, because it forces everyone to fit into the rigid categories and structures imposed on them by society.
No one is helping Hispanics by forcing Hollywood to reserve some special spots for us in their movies. Even if they mean well, they’re only implying that we aren’t good enough to earn those roles on our own.
Thinking that every individual has the obligation and the moral duty to play a rigidly-determined role—not only in movies, but also in life—based on their skin color, national origin, or sexual orientation is one of the most illiberal ideas in our culture today. It corrupts the artistic will to explore our common humanity, and punishes our drive to genuinely understand those who are different from us.

One of my favourite aspects in the season 2 of Heartstopper is how unapologetically intolerant everyone is towards homophobia. Like.
Harry showing up at Tara's birthday party and Charlie shutting the door in his face despite that apology.
Nick freely calling out his brother's biphobic behavior. Tori literally sinking her nails in David's arm when he was mocking Charlie and Nick and planning to out them.
It's so refreshing. There's no moment where someone asks Charlie or Nick to be the "bigger people" and forgive anyone who undermined, mocked, dismissed, and harassed them for their identity.
Because that shit shouldn't be tolerated ever and it's not acceptable. Queer people aren't here to be your redemption arc.

[Image ID: a black and white typography edit. there are two identical white rectangles on a black background. in the left rectangle is text that reads "if you are unwilling to tolerate trans existence i will make your life intolerable." in the right rectangle are two knives and a pair of scissors. they are ornately decorated on the handle & look vintage. the entire image is textured to look aged and photocopied. /End ID]
