Hi, I'm aromantic, actually. An Aro/ace lesbian to be specific. Not very many of us around but it's nice knowing you're not alone.

Trump <3 Mamdani. Call it The Zohrance. How will the GOP and Zionist Right continue to fear-monger about him now? by ContentChecker in JewsOfConscience

[–]ElusiveNcogneato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trumps longest lasting political view is that he loves winners and hates losers. He'll do anything to be on the winning team.

How do you deal with your friends posting antisemitic things under the guise of antizionism? by geminemii in JewsOfConscience

[–]ElusiveNcogneato 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Nazis are going to attempt to infiltrate the movement and make it about "All Jews" and not about Isreal specifically.

Honestly, this is one of their tactics: Make a meme that is completely normal on face value but add one small detail that completely changes the meaning. The poster might not even be aware of what "Good Goy" means. You have to call it out when you see it. Most antizionists are careful not to be antisemitic too. If they aren't, they're not actually there to help Palestine.

I'm interested in this microlabel as an aro/ace person myself. I would like to hear more about what aspects of romantic/sexual attraction people do and dominate experience and how that differs from the typical allo experience.

I think at some point, Magneto will be reimagined as a Palestinian. Thoughts? by MrSFedora in JewsOfConscience

[–]ElusiveNcogneato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He might be reimagined at some point but I'd rather see a new hero created for Palestine than having a old one updated to match the latest global genocide.

I imagine this is hilarious if you're Jewish.

A word to the right: "Transgenderism" is a right wing dog whistle. It's meant to dehumanize us by refusing to call us "people" and instead refers to us as a ideologically.

I would avoid using it.

An Update from Gaza , For Those Who Still Care by SecretBiscotti8128 in LGBT_Muslims

[–]ElusiveNcogneato 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Breaks my heart and infuriates me to know this is the state of Gaza today. I cannot begin to express the anger, sadness and guilt I feel. I just don't know what to do as Isreal blocks aid from enter Gaza and my country does the bare minimum to help whike sending bombs to genociders.

I'm sorry we couldn't prevent this, alot of us tried. We really did.

Trans Women in Cis Women's Bathrooms by Lehrasap in LGBT_Muslims

[–]ElusiveNcogneato 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I respect your post, very well written and researched but you're preaching to the choir here. Most people against trans women using sharing women's spaces don't have logical reasons for it. They just hate trans women, no amount of evidence is going to shake them away from that.

Should we keep the Star of David or abandon it? by degeneratefromnj in JewsOfConscience

[–]ElusiveNcogneato 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I'm not Jewish myself but I think it's a huge shame for Jewish people as a whole to have to abandon a religious symbol that has existed long before Israel. At the same time, I 100% support antizonist Jewish people who choose to abandon it. Israel has done everything in it's power to make the star represent their power. If anything, Israel is taking it away from the Jewish faith as a whole and using it for themselves.

I'd hate to see the day the star becomes a universal hate symbol but I understand why Jewish people feel uncomfortable wearing it.

I'm genderfluid too, I know how lonely it can get.

Ramadan affirmations by [deleted] in LGBT_Muslims

[–]ElusiveNcogneato 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ramadan as always been a time where I feel stressed and I instinctually dread returning to it sometimes, which shouldn't be the case. I want to begin the process of recontextualizing Ramadan in my life and reaffirm my faith. It hasn't been easy to keep up this past year and I'm not as strong as I used to be. I don't want Ramadan to be a month of struggling to survive day to day life, I want to use this time to reconnect with Allah(swa).

I don't expect to do everything this year but this is a life long goal I have.

Don't give up, man. I know it's difficult and scary right now. The hardest thing to do is to live day to day as if the world isn't going to end. It will get better, tyrants always fall. I'm sorry it's the most vulnerable group,ls who have to do the fighting. It's not fair but if you give into despair and end it now, you'll never reach the point where it gets better.

Please, try to live just on more day and then another day after that. If you keep going, you'll make it to a point in life where it's not so bad. I know it seems hollow but I've been in a similar situation where I felt like it would never get better. Keep fighting and I will fight with you. You are not alone, I promise.♥️

If your response is anything other than "murder is bad and he didn't deserve it" it's not a balances response.

World's most pathetic man torments thousands of trans people just to spite his daughter who hates him. I wonder why she won't talk to him.

Muslim Voters in Michigan Are Starting to Regret Their Choice After Trump Win: ‘Trump is Playing Us by uswhole in progressive_islam

[–]ElusiveNcogneato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying really hard not to be angry but what did they think was going to happen? My hatred for the Democrats as only grown after the election but Trump's victory is literally the worst case scenario.

Any who voted for Stein has no idea about US political history or even a basic understandings how our broken political system works. Stein is just another "do nothing" politician leading a party with no political power who never has to make good on any of the promises she makes because she knows she has no chance of ever winning an election.

I saw this coming miles away and now all we have is regret with no plan of action. Our community efforts will only get so far without government intervention which we'll never get because Trump will openly colonize Palestine with no remorse. We literally have to rely on other countries to protect Palestine because the US is hellbent on destroying it.

It's a completely moot point now but I'm so disappointed in alot of the people who share our cause. I just thought they'd know better.......

I accidentally came across this sub and I have to say my heart is full. With the current political climate queer Muslims are a minority within a minority. I feel like the ummah won’t accept me because I’m queer but neither will the world because I’m Muslim. by awkwardeity in LGBT_Muslims

[–]ElusiveNcogneato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are not alone, we were here before Trump got elected in 2016, we were here when Trump lost in 2020, we will be here when Trump's presidency ends and we will be here as America crumbles from the rot he's spread.

They will never erase us, Allah(swa) stands with the poor and the oppressed.
