I want queer heroes, but I also want queer villains. I want insane, evil lesbians on every TV show.

Just curious, what's the "pink scare"?
I misspoke; I was referring to the Lavender Scare.
The Lavender Scare was an American political movement that lasted roughly from 1947 to 1956, paralleling the 2nd Red Scare. It was largely helmed by Joe McCarthy and Roy Cohn and was a targeted campaign of political attack against queer people. The reasoning behind it was that gay men and lesbians constituted a threat against national security because their "subversive behavior" (not being straight) meant they somehow had strong connections to communism and, therefore, the USSR.
Tumblr media
The movement resulted the outing and firing of hundreds of queer people from government jobs (ranging from politicians, clerks, military personnel, and contractors working with the government) with the State Department reporting that by 1953, they had fired 425 people under allegations of homosexuality. It also resulted in Dwight D. Eisenhower's Executive Order 10450, which fully barred any "homosexuals" from working any positions in the federal government.
Tumblr media
EO 10450 was partially repealed in 1975 largely in response to young men using claims of homosexuality to dodge the Vietnam draft, and again in 1995 when the Bill Clinton administration instituted the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy for military personnel. It wasn't fully and completely repealed until 1998 with the Bill Clinton passing Executive Order 13087, which prohibited any such discrimination in federal employment and wasn't EXPLICITLY repealed until Barack Obama's Executive Order 13764 wich took effect in 2017.
Tumblr media
The cultural effect was an amplification of pre-existing societal homophobia to violent extremes and the promotion of the idea that queer people are inherently dangerous to "American freedom and democracy". Fun fact, Roy Cohn was actually a gay man who was very openly in sexual and romantic relationships with many men, even during The Lavender Scare, bit considered himself to be different from other gay men, basically because he was a dominant top. He died of AIDS while being part of the federal government's inaction campaign in response to the pandemic.
Tumblr media
If you want to read more about it, the Wikipedia page is a decent place to start.
The point I was making in regards to there being a 2nd Lavender Scare happening right now is in reference to the growing wave of targeted transphobic policies and violence from the political right and the liberal inaction in response to it.
I'd say that this new Lavender Scare started in 2017 with Trump's banning of trans people from entering the military and has continued to the present day when it is rapidly escalating with no end in sight.
Tumblr media
The main characteristics of this new scare, in my opinion are:
A targeting of trans people, gender non-conformity, and drag performance as subversive elements in society that pose a danger to the "traditional family", christian hegemony, and the wellbeing of children.
The platforming of extremist right-wing propaganda from various sources in mainstream media and political discourse, which all spout unified transphobic talking points that inspire discriminatory policies and violence through stochastic terrorism.
Transphobic policies being passed into law at a rapid pace on the state level in multiple states, with little to no federal intervention. (This refers to the US specifically)
Domestic stochastic terrorist attacks on queer spaces that prominently feature and support trans communities and drag performance, which are inspired by transphobic right-wing propaganda.
The boosting of TERF voices who pitch the same transphobic talking points as the right, from a pseudo-leftist perspective that serves as an alternate route of attack in the insemination of violent transphobia into the mainstream. (This is especially prevalent in the UK)
The "groomer" narrative, which links trans people, gender non-conformity, and drag performance to pedophilia in an effort to evoke strong emotional reactions from misinformed people prone to bigotry and reactionary thinking. This tactic can also be seen in action with the Q-Anon conspiracy cult.
Utilizing trans people, gender non-conformity, and drag performance as scapegoats for economic decline, political unrest, and poor quality of life in order to disract from the systems actually responsible for these problems.

I would also like to add that unlike the 1st Lavender Scare, this is not just an American phenomenon but part of a clear and roughly coordinated multinational right-wing movement and is presenting just as prevalently in the UK (albeit in a slightly different form). It is dangerous to leave this reactionary movement unstated and unnamed, lest is become normalized.

*TW:This post is a very long rant about Homophobia with a good amount of curse words*
———————
I was having this conversation with a girl and she asked me what I thought of Disney Princesses and my response was “I like the newer ones I’m not a huge fan of the old Disney princesses considering most of their Storylines revolved around men. Some day I hope they have a lesbian Disney Princess”. (That’s a simplified version of what I said) and she replied “I hope they never have a gay Disney Princess”. So of course I asked her why and her entireeee arguement was “I don’t think we should be exposing kids to that, we need to repopulate the Earth”. Like those two statements completely contradict each other. People with ideology like this are just dumb. For starters if your kid is looking at two men holding hands and thinks of sex then clearly there’s a problem with how you’ve raised your child. Actually scratch that no matter how old you are if you look at a gay couple and immediately think of sex then you are the perverted one. See I could understand if you didn’t want children exposed to any sort of relationship/romance but that’s not the case. Unless there’s two gay men having sex directly in front of your child there isn’t really a problem. When I realized I liked girls I wasn’t thinking about sex I barely knew what it was, I just knew I that I had crushes on girls. Yes there are some instances where children are exposed to inappropriate content but in most cases it’s an accident (for example a 7 year old watches a music video with inappropriate language however stuff like this can be solved by simply having better control on your child’s media) but straight people post the same kind of content as well. We need to all stop always looking at the lgbtqia+ community in a perverted gaze.

“Easier to be angry than patient”
When I was making this I found myself angry that I couldn’t find any gender therapist or doctor that would respond to my emails for care in all of my city. I would shower looking up telling myself “it’s just like heights don’t look down and you’ll be fine” only to sink into bed and feel icky that I could see my cleavage those nights were the hardest. I found it difficult that I couldn’t depend on my support system to talk about these things with me about starting a fight and couldn’t find adequate Trans healthcare to alleviate this dysphoria. I thought if only I looks like a boy if I sounded like a guy people would not miss gender me so much people would be kinder if I could just blend in with cis gender society, this was a course a delusional fantasy but one that kept me up at night. I would tell myself it’s easier to be angry then patient because transition takes time not only for yourself but the people around you, still I found this “I have no enemies” approach failed me time after time. This piece represents the pinnacle of the fight against my dysphoria that I know now would grow into a festering depression and resentment for myself and others. I’ve now learned to be kinder to myself that my body does not dictate my being or brain “I think therefore I am” type attitude. For my fellow trans brothers and sisters, I feel you and I hear you this dysphoria thing blows but do not let it determine your day you are not your thoughts. You deserve to be loved and acknowledged for all you are even if you’re still questioning your gender identity you deserve to be loved so love the kid you used to be, love the person you will become, and love the person that you are today. Because you are one in a million a precious jewel hand sculpted and chiseled by the universe itself do not treat yourself as any lesser regardless of your physiology, your biology, or your spirit you belong here just like the rest of us and you deserve to take up space and be cherished.
