Valid, Valid. 🤢🤮
I swear to god
There are words I used
Before I became a queer content creator
and there are words
I’ve had to scrub out of my vocabulary
Since doing this.
Valid
Is chief among them.
I don’t give a fuck
About what people
Do and do not think
“Valid” is— ya dig?!?
Saying what is and isn’t “valid”
Is the whole fucking problem you asshats.
Do people tell you
Your gender, sexuality, and pronouns are
Invalid??!?
What kind of conversation is that
One on the internet only?
Literally no one tells me
What is and isn’t valid
And if they do
I wouldn’t fucking listen to them anyway
Why are you telling everyone
Who is valid
And who isn’t
The same way they do? The same way you’re supposedly
Complaining about…? The thing that you insist
Happens but also magically doesn’t ….?!
Who is saying you’re invalid…?!
That’s an insult.
Ain’t nobody say shit like that I think you might be
Talking about yourself.
The way you feel inside your own body and mind
The ways in which you don’t feel like
Other people see you, or acknowledge you
Is it a valid concern?
Hell if I know I don’t go around
Tryna tell people that their worries
Are or are not real I just
At this point
Throw up in my mouth
Every time I see the word valid
Used in regards to gender, sexuality, and pronouns.
Who the fuck cares what is or isn’t valid —
Who the fuck is keeping count of that shit.
Spoiler alert—
If you’re trans, some people
Will complain about it.
