trans women are everywhere and are so eager to be seen and heard but only if they feel safe around you. if you hardly ever have trans women interacting with you, especially online, then consider there might be a reason for that and you should address it
Speaking as someone who's been outed many, many times, by both "allies" and homo/transphobes, some of yall are way too comfortable sharing other peoples' queer identities.
"But what if I'm trying to be funny?" Doesn't matter.
"But what if I'm an ally?" Doesn't matter
"But what if the person I'm talking to is an ally?" Doesn't matter.
"But what if I'm queer?" Doesn't matter
"But what if the person I'm talking to is queer?" Doesn't matter.
"But what if the person I'm talking about is a stranger?" Doesn't matter.
"But what if it's really obvious?" First of all, ew. Second of all, Doesn't matter.
"But what if they didn't come out to me, I just figured it out on my own?" Doesn't matter.
"But what if they're getting misgendered?" It's just as easy to say 'actually she's a girl' as it is to say 'actually she's transgender and uses she/her'. If that person is pretransition, it's also easy to just bite your tongue and not say anything.
Unless that person has explicitly given you permission to share that information, you DON'T. No matter how certain you are that everyone is accepting, no matter how noble your intentions, it's not your information to share. Getting clocked sucks, getting outed sucks, and they're both an invasion of privacy no matter who's doing it.
happy trans day of visibility it was nice seeing u all. see u again next year 🫡
bonus rainbow flag version. im probably gonna make a few more For Me when i am not sleepy bc i can Edit That Thing, if u wanna request a specific flag version or smth leave a comment and i’ll see if i can get to it <3
I love you "weird kids" with split dyed black and pink hair and they/it/bun in their bio
I love you boys in skirts and dresses and corsets who are still cis
I love you trans girls who love their masculine features and don't change how masculine or feminine they present
I love you trans boys who still love being feminine and hope you land the best suckerpunch on anyone who says "but isn't that just being a girl"
I love you gays who kiss their boyfriends and girlfriends and partners and joyfriends and all kinds of significant others in the hallways to flaunt that they're not straight
I love you people who wear flags and rainbows to shove your gayness or transness in people's faces
I love you straight guys who love makeup but can't wear it around your friends
I love you people who coin obscure genders and use only neo/xenopronouns(seriously y'all are so cool and I wish i could design flags half as cool as yours)
I love you all aromantic/asexual people
I love you all the people that the lgbtq+ community chooses to outcast to appease the world which would destroy us all
I hate you lgbtq+ community members who choose to attack those who are on your team in an effort to seem "normal"
[Image ID: a typography edit that reads "the future is for faggots!". the word faggots is outlined by five strokes that make up the rainbow. the left side of the image is blacked out with stars. there are three planets on the starry side: a blue one at the top, a yellow one with rings in the center, and a red one in the bottom corner. the entire image is textured to look aged and photocopied. /End ID]

Periodic reminder that unless a person specifically and clearly tells you it is okay to tell others they are trans or queer, you should err on the side of caution and assume they do not want you to tell people (especially random people!) about their transness or queerness.
You have no idea, generally, why somebody doesn't talk openly about their trans or queer status, and you have no idea, truly, how somebody might react to that information. The most progressive person out there is still capable of harbouring incredibly negative thoughts about somebody's queer status.
Such a sweet transgender woman! I love her very very very pretty dress. With it's low cut top it shows just enough to be delicious! I LOVE her beautiful straight hair and her face...Oh My ..She's just a amazing woman anyone would be lucky to have as a girl friend or more! She would make for a very pretty wife.
I'm so tired of queer infighting... "What about he/him lesbians" "What about the creator of this flag" "What about aroaces in relationships" "What about them saying a slur" "What about-" YEAH WHAT ABOUT IT??? A homophobe isn't gonna give a fuck about all the minute little details theyre just gonna hate us all the same. "You're one of the normal ones" they're fucking using that shit to make sure YOU kill your other queers, and by the time you're the only one remaining, they're gonna kill you too. Get over it stop fighting. I fucking hate this community.
EDIT: I'm not sure how Tumblr editing works so no matter if you've already seen this or haven't seen it before, please check out this addition (on mobile rn idk how to link stuff to words). It's very important and I'm not going to take out the sentence it's referring to as it is a mistake I made and I will not pretend like it did not happen. Do not hate your community. I love this community.
