(((I Will Outlive)))

enough with m-spec/asexual/aromantic/trans/nonbinary people just being “valid” and “welcome” in the community. we’re not just valid, we’re important. we’re not just welcome, we’re inherently fundamental members of the community. we’re essential. the queer community is just as much ours as it is of lesbian and gay people.

I don’t need to be “welcomed” into a community that I already exist in.

What I want is for people to stop trying to kick me out.
