love yourㅤㅤ elf

just be authentically yourself and if i see you around and like your vibe, i might give you a follow!

"if paraphilias aren't disorders, then what are they?" tl;dr - paraphilias are orientations that are considered unusual by society at large.

our existence doesn't hurt anyone.

Oh look, exactly what everyone said would happen is happening

attractions are not a reliable indicator for abuse, and neither are labels of any other kind. actions speak louder than words do.

too many people get hung up thinking about the more popular paraphilic attractions when hearing talk about paraphilias and then conflate that with abuse and unethical behavior. (1/3)

paraphilias are not immoral. paraphilias are not unethical. paraphilias are not harmful. paraphilias are not disorders. paraphilias don't require recovery.

if you reduce people to labels, it shows that you don't care about people, only about labels.

Referring to LGBT+ people as "mentally ill" or "abnormal" is not "a discussion." It's not "an opinion." It's not "free speech." It's not "debate." It's hatemongering, with the clear and obvious intent to mark a minority out for subjugation, torture and violence.

"what can i say about you personally or your actual sexual behavior by the sexual fantasies you have? absolutely nothing. why? because sexual fantasy is a completely controlled environment, and there's no lingering effects or consequences in the real world." prostasia.org/blog/fantasi...

queer liberation cannot be achieved through assimilationism, infighting and arguments over semantics - what's actually needed is collective, unified pushback against bigotry. don't tolerate bigotry against anyone. never stop reflecting and advocating. we are never to be silent.

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”

a fragment of eternity

drop something pink:3

miao!

"the use of the word when describing sexual abuse is misleading, and directly contradicts the definition of the word. using the two terms as synonyms is harmful towards the community, viewing attractions as the action of abuse is insulting." substack.com/inbox/post/1...

if they come for us… #parapride #paraunity

be truthful about your ideals and intentions, to others as well as to yourself.

be ready to give chances, if you want to be given a chance.

Updated advice for if you get banned from Bluesky - write this down as you wont have any access to your account after. Stage 1 - Open an appeal via email to [email protected] and have them explain which post violated their community guidelines, which guideline, which law in particular.

be a voice for the unheard.

no pride without liberation #queer #para #pride

every time you claim that someone is "not a real member" of a group of people using a specific label, i need you to think about whether the label you're talking about is a self-identified one or an accusatory one, because these serve entirely different purposes. 🧵 (1/8)

I don't think we are supposed to individually prepare ourselves 3x meals a day every day for our whole lives I think we're supposed to have community and sharing

"Look man, I'm not into that kink, I just think certain aspects of it are hot", said the person who is about to become Really Into that kink
