The Curbside Prophet
My name is Alyssa Mae.
I am a mid-twenties avid intersectional feminist, advocate, fighter, counselor, and friend. I will be graduating from Bucknell University in May with degrees in Psychology and Women’s & Gender Studies. I work with survivors of sexual assault and other trauma, and I fix computers for a living.
I often blog about what it is like to live at the intersections of a few different mental illnesses, queerness, and sexuality, along with posts about sexism, racism, rape culture, and LGBT rights. There is a trigger warning for these on my entire blog. You will see posts about depression, eating disorders, PTSD, panic disorder, and fat activism. This has been my safe space for four years now, and I reserve the right to ask you to leave it if necessary.
Welcome to my life.

What’s a way that we as a group can support LGBTQQI-umbrella folk without turning the focus to allies? I love NCOD and what it means for lots of people (ie, providing an obvious group of people who would be supportive), but it feels like it’s become more of a trend or something people do because they feel like they ought to and not necessarily because they really beli
eve in the message. Again, how can we do NCOD without making it about allies? The whole message of “gay? fine by me.” kind of falls flat, especially when the focus is on patting those who’ve signed the “meets minimum standard of decent human” roster on the back instead of fostering an environment where we open up dialogue for those who need that space to talk. Comment with better slogan ideas!!
On a related note, acceptance has no exceptions. None.
