Queersecrets Sucks

Y’know even if a gay person doesn’t label themselves gay they’re still hit with homophobia. Trans persons still get hit with transphobia.
Oh, and POC still get hit with racism.
The funny thing about the *-blind rhetoric is that it only ignores the problems rather than work to fix it.
You do you, but it doesn’t work on a large scale.

I use labels to find people that are like me and have some of the same/related problems/struggles/etc as me, so that we can relate to each other and not feel alone. I’m glad you don’t need labels for that, but seriously, fuck you.
And so what if shit is complicated? Fuck being simple, people are fucking complex, not acknowledging labels isn’t going to fix that.
