“You shouldn’t identify as [blank] because it might confuse the cis/straights”

Honey with as much kindness as can be conveyed through text, that kinda sounds like the fault of the cis/straight people.

The world is filled with complex people and experiences and we don’t actually help anyone by saying it isn’t. Its the job of the oppressors to clear up their misunderstandings. Not the job of the marginalized to somehow become… not… themselves.

Also? Even if ur not cis or straight, you are absolutely gonna be confused if you try to understand literally everyone’s identity, because it’s infinitely complex. Like, you’d sit there and have time for nothing else. What’s more important imo is learning how to accept someone’s identity even if you personally don’t understand it
