Being outted by someone is so uncomfortable and impossible to handle like they’ll just be like “oh so you’re gay right?” or “aren’t you trans?” and it’s just forcing us into a position where we either have to lie or out ourselves and feel ridiculously and completely unsafe and out of sorts, like I promise you there’s a reason we haven’t stated it in the company we’re in and even if you think we’re already out (or you know we are) there’s no reason to ever ask us because you don’t know to what extent or to who we’re out and that’s never something you should assume.

If people take up your time with their own shit but never actually come through for you, cut them out of your life. They don’t love you or care for you, they are using you. It’s wasted energy.

…what??? Are you trying to claim that people of color is offensive? It’s not the same at all. “Colored” is a slur, you wang. -Mod U

“PEOPLE of color” focuses on personhood as opposed to skin color.

this is not limited to the term “POC”
“people-first language” is a standard in all psychological writing (and other academic fields too), bc it is most respectful. for instance if you read a study on autism they will refer to their experimental subjects as “children with autism” NOT “autistics” or “autistic children”. People-first language is standard because it emphasizes that these individuals are people first, their characteristics second.
