yeah, TW for mention of TERFs and transphobia. this is long btw (or at least it is for me, im on mobile rn)
i was on twitter today (great place, i know 
) looking at mcr shitposts and stuff, when i saw somebody retweeted a tweet of someone calling mcr “my toilet romance” bc i guess they didnt agree with gerard wearing femme clothes or mcr’s pro-LGBTQ stance. i clicked on the replies to see them get thrown into the sun, and then after clicking on their profile to see who they were i realized immediately that they were a TERF (Trans Exclusionist Radical Feminist, for those who dont know) and they were saying some pretty deplorable things abt trans ppl and at some points gay ppl too. in their display name they had three emojis: a green, white, and purple square. basically the genderqueer flag reversed. i googled what it meant and apparently its their little thing: green/white/purple is like their little fuckin bat signal to them or whatever, they use it to denote their shitty terf-ness.
the problem is, im genderqueer.
i have a bunch of genderqueer kandi and at one point wore some genderqueer-themed earrings (i have 3 lobe piercings, so one stud each hole), and im terrified ppl are now gonna think im a terf, or at least the people who ARE the or are familiar with their little signaling scheme are gonna think im one of them. i have a flower cuff that could very easily be accidentally reversed so its GWP instead of PWG if im not paying attention to how im putting it on.
i know this is so chronically online of me but like. idk. we live in the digital age so……most people are like this, i’d assume.
idk what to do. or how to feel. is this a thing thats only caught on WITHIN the terf-freak-spaces or is this a thing known outside their spaces????
im so upset rn………just when i thought i could finally be proud of myself because i finally figured out my identity, i get hit in the head with a brick…
idk what to do
