So I'm at Oberlin, and you cannot throw a fucking rock on this
campus without hitting some sort of Angry Queer Activist. They're all
misunderstood because they're Transgendered, or they're into SMBD, or they
have fluid sexuality, or they're something else new and marginalized and
misunderstood. And they are all oh so Queerer Than Thou, and they all
annoy the fuck out of me.
I'm just to darn happy to spend the effort and time getting angry
about things. I'm happy about being at Oberlin. I'm happy about being
bisexual. I'm happy about being in a nonmonogamous relationship with a
boy. I'm rilly happy about the sex, especially when he does this truly
amazing thing with his tongue. I'm happy about my new haircut, especially
when people rub the part of it that's crew cut length. If it wasn't for
Angry Queers, I'd have nothing to bitch about.
I realize we need activists. I realize that the reason I can be so
secure and happy and have my sexuality fill me with warm fuzzies is because
of the work of activists. I respect them, and the work they do, and the
shit they face, and especially the fact that they're making life
comfortable for me, since I like things being comfortable for me. Frankly,
anything anyone can do to make my life better, they are welcome to do.
I'm just so sick of people whining about how I cannot possibly
understand their struggle and their suffering and their marginalization and
I'm probably prejudiced against them as well. I mean, I am, but that's
just because I have an innate loathing of annoying whiners. I mean,
honestly, at this point the term transgendered applies to just about
everyone, you can't be both marginalized and all enclusive, it just doesn't
work. As for SMBD, I have yet to get any shit for the handcuffs in my
bedroom, perhaps because I don't feel the need to tell people outside of
my bedroom about them. (Uh. Until now. Oops.) And I think if, of the
myriad of labels available, you aren't comfortable with any of them, and
then the best you can come up with is "fluid sexuality" (which actually
means sexuality that changes over time, rather than sex with liquids), you
just suck.
Basically, I'm a happy little queer girl, unless annoying whining
people give me shit and tell me I should be doing stuff. So I felt the
need to tell you all about it.
