   I'm queer, coded as fem, and in a relationship with a man. "Breeders" has been levelled at my husband and I from within our community on multiple occasions for being/being in a relationship reads as cishet.
   We cannot have children because of my health, something that I personally find deeply upsetting. I want them.

   Seeing people level that at others here is something I didn't expect and has really set me on edge. What the fuck happened to good faith and building community

     @PaladinQuinn trans people have done it too but it's largely been cis gay/lesbian folks

     @mal @wintgenstein I really hoped it was just a small thing and would go away. This whole idea it's a word said from anger at oppressors ignores just how much it's used to erase people from within the community.
     Idk if it's more of an American thing where it's meant to be empowering but I see it used for erasure a lot here. I know I'm not alone being hurt by it. 😬

     @krono thank you, that means a lot. I don't deny we have our troubles, as I guess everyone does, but I feel very lucky to have what I do with him 😊

     @lastfuture a lot of people seem to be really annoyed by it which is somewhat comforting to see. Seems I'm not alone here in having faced it.

     I guess when you're trying to hit back at oppressors one important thing to be careful of is dragging peers into it

     @lastfuture I get anxious about being open as genderqueer in part because of inter-community policing. It's really hard to take.
     All you can do with a lot of it is offer support and tell cunts to fuck off
