“Some ask “Why can’t you people just all be Hispanic?” Same reason that all white people can’t just be called English. Just because you speak English or Spanish does not mean that you are one group. Hispanic is a census term that some dildo in a government office made up to include all Spanish-speaking brown people. It is especially annoying to Chicanos because it is a catch-all term that includes the Spanish conqueror. By definition, it favors European cultural invasion, not indigenous roots. It also includes all Latino groups, which brings us together because Hispanic annoys all Latino groups.”

I'm Elle, and I am the person behind More Reasons You Shouldn’t Fuck Kids, a blog on my experience as a survivor of sexual abuse.

I am a Transgender, Lesbian, Taiwanese American, disabled, Appalachian, no-wave Feminist, and eating-disordered poet from Berea, KY. My life has been a big mess, and that’s okay.

Pronoun preference: she, her.
