i’ve been seeing hella queer discourse (okay, arguments https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">) on my TL lately so i figured i’d look some stuff up to more fully understand what’s going on and i peeped this! i always felt a little uncomfortable with these terms and now i finally understand why

i’ve been trying to combat that by using terms like “anti-____” (e.g. maybe a more popular word, “anti-Black”) but this site kinda does the opposite in some cases and uses terms like “cissexism” and “mono sexism” which is interesting, i’ve never seen that before

since i started this thread i might as well keep my notes here https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimacing face" aria-label="Emoji: Grimacing face"> but here’s an ex.—this would be to replace “homophobia”. my immediate reaction is that i prefer the “anti-____” bc out of all the terms i feel like it implies the most personal responsibility & hate towards a group
