I’ll start: “Shoving x down our throats”

the amount of people who have told me i’m one of the good ones because “at least you don’t shove gayness down our throats,” or “i’m fine with it if they dont shove it down our throats” has made me cringe whenever i hear that phrase used in any context, even harmlessly. how about you guys?

    I’m back to saying black and brown folx. If there’s a group that refers to themselves as BIPoC I use that, but not really as a means to describe people. It’s very vague as an acronym.

    Speaking of, it’s always been odd to me that race is a totally made up construct and yet black and brown are okay and yellow and red are racist.
