So I'm at Oberlin, and you cannot throw a fucking rock on this
|
|
campus without hitting some sort of Angry Queer Activist. They're all
|
|
misunderstood because they're Transgendered, or they're into SMBD, or they
|
|
have fluid sexuality, or they're something else new and marginalized and
|
|
misunderstood. And they are all oh so Queerer Than Thou, and they all
|
|
annoy the fuck out of me.
|
|
|
|
I'm just to darn happy to spend the effort and time getting angry
|
|
about things. I'm happy about being at Oberlin. I'm happy about being
|
|
bisexual. I'm happy about being in a nonmonogamous relationship with a
|
|
boy. I'm rilly happy about the sex, especially when he does this truly
|
|
amazing thing with his tongue. I'm happy about my new haircut, especially
|
|
when people rub the part of it that's crew cut length. If it wasn't for
|
|
Angry Queers, I'd have nothing to bitch about.
|
|
|
|
I realize we need activists. I realize that the reason I can be so
|
|
secure and happy and have my sexuality fill me with warm fuzzies is because
|
|
of the work of activists. I respect them, and the work they do, and the
|
|
shit they face, and especially the fact that they're making life
|
|
comfortable for me, since I like things being comfortable for me. Frankly,
|
|
anything anyone can do to make my life better, they are welcome to do.
|
|
|
|
I'm just so sick of people whining about how I cannot possibly
|
|
understand their struggle and their suffering and their marginalization and
|
|
I'm probably prejudiced against them as well. I mean, I am, but that's
|
|
just because I have an innate loathing of annoying whiners. I mean,
|
|
honestly, at this point the term transgendered applies to just about
|
|
everyone, you can't be both marginalized and all enclusive, it just doesn't
|
|
work. As for SMBD, I have yet to get any shit for the handcuffs in my
|
|
bedroom, perhaps because I don't feel the need to tell people outside of
|
|
my bedroom about them. (Uh. Until now. Oops.) And I think if, of the
|
|
myriad of labels available, you aren't comfortable with any of them, and
|
|
then the best you can come up with is "fluid sexuality" (which actually
|
|
means sexuality that changes over time, rather than sex with liquids), you
|
|
just suck.
|
|
|
|
Basically, I'm a happy little queer girl, unless annoying whining
|
|
people give me shit and tell me I should be doing stuff. So I felt the
|
|
need to tell you all about it.
