I don't cede "hey that's criminal" as a Weapon Of The Enemy.

Law is something we're supposed to create together in a democracy and we're supposed to expose and protest and fight the people who abuse it and break it when it suits them.

Then there's people whose job is literal upholding and executing the law. I think it's correct to call them out for creating/enforcing unjust laws and I think it's correct to call them out for flagrantly breaking the law in service of awful agendas and personal gain.

Actually think it's our duty 🤷‍♀️

I'm not sure I'm with you on this one.

When the supposed lawbreaker in question is breaking an unjust law or committing the supposed crime out of desperation, I think we can simply not label those people as criminal, and raise the point if/when this happens.

like, people in your life (authority figures) can wield that against you

"Being [insert queerness] isn't a choice, you just are or you aren't and YOU aren't, I know you better than you know yourself and this (gestures at queer feelings) is just your [misdiagnosis] manifesting as blah blah blah"

basically I agree that being queer is not a choice but deciding to accept it absolutely is and this is where people get fucked up
November 28, 2025 at 5:15 PM
I know I can be the only one who heard "it's not a choice" and felt like they were an imposter because they didn't *know* it hard enough
November 28, 2025 at 5:11 PM
I don't think the problem is seeing it as a choice, it's people who view it as a wrong choice
