Telling a femme gay boy
That he needs to act masculine
In order to be respected in society
Is the sort of thing
Everyone understands is homophobic
Femmephobic, potentially transphobic
And mostly just bad vibes for poor little gay guy.
Telling a lesbian
That she needs to have some good dick
In order to realize that she is actually
Straight, is something
Everyone understands as homophobic,
Vile, patriarchal, and mostly just
Bad vibes
For poor little lesbo lady.
Telling a bisexual person
That they are or are not bisexual
Based on your limited perspective
Of their existence, preferences
Is widely understood to be
Bad vibes!
Unhelpful, harmful bigoted garbage
That nobody needs.
Alas
Telling a fat person
Who already diets and exercises
Who is already healthy
Who is already working on it
That they need to lose weight, that they
Aren’t really trying, that weight loss
Was easy for this one friend you knew—
So what’s the point of waiting?
Stop complaining and just get to it—
This behavior
Is more common than any kind of homophobia
Or transphobia
Or classism. This behavior
Has no gender, no class, no orientation
Correcting fat people
For their fatness
Is universally accepted —
Here I thought
The queer community
Would be the sort of place
That might be able to get it—
Might be able to understand
My perspective and what I am trying
To get across, alas—
You are all so fucking fatphobic
You don’t even believe in fatphobia!!!
I don’t want your sympathy —
I want your blood
On my hands
You fucking bigots!
