this thread rocks and very eloquently articulates why i frequently feel like an outsider when i try to feel my way into “queer spaces” online and in-person. feels like i’ve become more and more alienated from what trans/queer people in general are Supposed To Be https://twitter.com/szmarsupial/status/1385562667012829191

the fact that multiple queer people in my life who i’ve tried to befriend have roundly dismissed me bc they deem my interests/general demeanor to be “not queer enough” is wild. a trans girl i went to high school with once laughed in my face when i told her i liked football

the queer community is not a fucking fandom you weirdos. we’re people who share a material condition and material goals. please grow up

this is where every single thought i’ve ever had inevitably ends up lol
