how come lapis can drown children and break greg’s leg and peridot can kidnap people and systematically try to kill the crystal gems and they “didnt know the consequences of their actions” and can be redeemed, but when jasper beats ppl up and is equally as shit as they were shes the incarnate of evil and cannot be redeemed? oh right, bc shes not Cute and Smol uvu
honestly tho im a bit confused cause other people on this post are talking about redemption and stuff and saying that lapis and peridot are different because they’re not enemies anymore and jasper still is but lapis is still an enemy??? like, she hates the crystal gems and as of this point there’s been no indication that these feelings have changed (in fact, the one time when we see malachite being in agreement with herself is when she wants to fight the crystal gems)
like yeah, she likes steven the most out of the bunch and has had some cute moments with him but lapis hasn’t been redeemed either and yet all the crap she’s pulled is very rarely brought up and she’s treated like an innocent martyr while jasper’s literally the worst absuer to walk the face of the earth??
I’m not being sarcastic with this, I really want to know:
What resources would asexual people be "taking away" by being included in LGBT+ spaces? Because every post lately seems to boil down to that claim, but I have seen no specification of what, exactly, those resources are.
1. Suicide hotlines – They’re already overbooked as it is and allowing cisgender hetero aces to use LGBT exclusive suicide hotlines will overbook them even more.
2. Schooling grants – LGBT only school funding that deserves to go to LGBT individuals and not cisgender hetero individuals because cisgender hetero individuals are not LGBT even if they’re ace or aro.
3. LGBT only shelters – Again, a scarce resource that’s already overbooked constantly.
And a ton more I don’t feel like going into right now.
I’m not saying LGBT individuals are any more important than cishet aces and cishet aros, but we already have a lack of actual resources as it is, and letting non-LGBT aces and aros into the LGBT community will stretch these already extremely limited resources.
Not to mention cishet people of any identity already get more than us by virtue of being cishet, so coming into our community to use our resources when they’re not even impacted by systematic homophobia/biphobia/lesbophobia/transphobia, is just plain horrible.

the administration has determined that the designation of “sex” in Title IX protections also includes gender identity, which means that if public schools don’t comply with these protections, they lose federal funding
transgender students are only required to have their parent or guardian contact the school district to notify them that their identity differs from what is previously on record
these students do not need to provide a medical diagnosis, identification documents, or any other information regarding their transition
transgender students must be accommodated even when it makes others students uncomfortable
transgender students can be offered the use of single stall restrooms, but if other students are not required to use them, then they aren’t required, either, and specifically mentions that if a student is uncomfortable sharing a restroom with a transgender person they can be offered a single stall restroom
these protections also cover correct pronoun use as well, along with other guidelines
