I think non-marginalized people really think it’s like some big, important, necessary move for marginalized people to be like “my identity doesn’t MATTER! I’m just a person!” and they’re.... wrong....

#yes this is a very un-nuanced argument but im not trying to get into a debate or write an essay rn #im just saying #like you're fully expected to be like 'yeah im black i guess but im not like BLACK black that's not imporant! im ME' #like i feel like the middleground between dont make people stereotypes and understand that all people are individuals #and 'youre not one of THEM tho its one race- the human race!' is jumped over like the floor is made of lava #same with being queer #cishets want SO BADLY for you to be like yeah im gay but not like PRIDE gay #or yeah im gay but im not gonna TALK about it bc more importantly i am a gamer who plays violin #like you can be ALL OF THE ABOVE #you can be proud of your identity and also ignoring your identity IGNORE A BIG PART OF WHO YOU ARE #AND THE CONTEXT OF HOW YOU WERE SHAPED #god anyway anyway anyway its not that deep whatEVER #personal
