Soft-inked greetings from ThePurpleOctopus 🐙 Queer, non-binary, trans, pan, polyam and many-armed, and thinking in several directions at once. I like curiosity, kindness, politics with teeth, art with feelings, and science done properly. I like languages, cats, cows, trains, and the Oxford comma. I'm a Translator and Teacher by trade, a Traveller by desire. Here to listen, to learn, to tangle gently, and to leave the tide a little warmer than I found it. [Berlin/Amsterdam]

I am so unbelievably tired of being lectured by the "LGB without the TQ" crowd.
I've been told Stonewall was "only about gay men." That's historically false. I've been told trans and non-binary people are somehow "homophobic." That's not just absurd... it's an insult to the generations who stood shoulder to shoulder when nobody else would.
The queer movement didn't survive because people built smaller fences. It survived because we refused to leave each other behind.
So if your politics depend on erasing trans people, rewriting queer history, and turning solidarity into exclusion, don't expect me to meet you halfway. I won't.
I have spent my life standing up for the entire LGBTQIA+ community. I'll continue doing exactly that, and I'll oppose every attempt to carve our community into "acceptable" and "disposable" people.
You don't get to wave the rainbow while pulling threads out of it.
