It's the same thing with how white people can't celebrate their heritage without being labeled a racist. So what if my family is from Northern Europe?? My ancestors worshipped the Germanic Gods of old. Why does it make me a racist if I worship their Gods as my own and hold the customs of celebrations, feasts, and virtues of my ancestors?? We should all have some pride in ourselves for being us.
i believe the problem is more when you announce you are proud of being white and not so much when you announce you are proud of being from X and that you love your traditions of XYZ.
I've never actually understood pride in things you had no place in creating or achieving...I suppose pride in race is different from pride in an achievement
(Not meant to be a disagreement, I just genuinely don't understand it, could someone explain it to me please?)
Pride in your ancestors for struggling for centuries so you can exist at the level you you are at now. How many family lines have been eradicated? How many cultures disappeared? How many technological marvels were destroyed or hidden before they were widely enjoyed? You are the end result of thousands of years of human advancement.
And some of us are more like the leftover bits if paper lying on the floor after you year a sheet of paper from a spiral notebook. (never meant to be useful for much of anything and always destined for the trash heap)
I also enjoy being a straight cis female. You gonna hate on me with that "You don't support gays" bullshit? Bring it on, motherfuckers. Because in actual fact, I do support gay rights. Every fucking right there is I support.
Semantically, cis is not an acronym, but a word (prefix) itself. It is the opposite of trans. Trans means 'across' or 'from here to there'. Cis means 'same side'.
There are still straight females on the internet? :o That aren't labelling themselves as <insert Greek prefix here>-sexual because it is perceived as 'trendy' or to gain attention? I thought you were a dying breed.
I think the reason Tumblr has so many different sexualities there is because it's one of the few places people feel accepted, and thus, are more likely to come to terms with their sexuality. Heaven knows I don't feel very accepted here, as a pansexual female.
I have a question...if he's a trans man, does that mean he was born female but identifies as male? (Sorry for my stupidity, but sometimes I get confused.)
I hate opening tumblr and the first thing I see is that I'm always wrong for being straight, white, and male. It's so aggravating, wtf is wrong with being happy being male, wtf is wrong with being white, and God damnit I love to suck on breasts, sue me.
What I think of when I see "cis" and "trans": http://i.stack.imgur.com/0PNJJ.png
My mind is so messed up.
I also think of Frank-N-Furter, the Sweet Transvestite from Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Even more messed up.
Yea, now a days it's like some people think you can only have straight so they fight for straight only, but then you have the flip flop where people think there can only be (how do i say everything else without out sounding rude). Also it's kind of tiring when i hop on tumblr and a large proportion of people try and turn every character of a show into something besides cis and they firmly believe it. Also plenty of times I've seen people hating on people making male gemsonas and calling them sexist. A few times I've heard people attacking other people just because they use a slightly lighter pallet on their art that they're "white washing the character"
