[genderqueerdykes]

if you are a person of color and are struggling to understand or express your own gender because you do not and/or cannot conform to white beauty & gender standards you're not alone and you do not have to warp yourself to suit someone else's narrative- every culture on this planet has their own relationship with biological sex & gender and you do not have to mold yourself to suit gender roles that literally just don't exist in your cultures, or don't make sense to you

you do not have to try to change your face, hair or body to match standards that don't apply to you. you are allowed to approach gender in your own way, in whatever ways make sense to you. it's your life, your gender, your culture, your expression. you don't have to screw yourself over like that. good luck in finding the real you, you'll find them

Hi if you're a queer person being persecuted in your country right now can you reblog this with your payment info?

It doesn't have to be persecution for being queer either btw. If you are a refugee or struggling to exist for ANY reason and you happen to also be queer then I wanna help support you before I make posts for anyone else.

Im going to reblog this semi-regularly until June at which point it'll be reblogged almost everyday. I have around 20k followers which isn't a lot but it's not nothing either.

Also pls lemme know what other words I should use as tags. I don't speak other languages and am not familiar with tags that people from other countries would use for people outside gender/relationship norms and I want this post to be a Lot less us-centric and way more inclusive than pride posts usually are.

There is so much focus that gets put on the most privileged parts of our community, but the rest of us have pride to share too and support we need on top of that.

So from my corner on Turtle island to my siblings in Palestine and beyond, I love you and you haven't been forgotten.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! This year I wanted to celebrate by showing you what Lunar Boy, our upcoming middle grade graphic novel, means to us as queer Indonesian representation: the thought process behind crafting a sci-fi Indonesian future that embraces queer history.

Pre-order Lunar Boy or add it on goodreads! Support QPOC creators and stories!

Say what you want about first kill, but the fact that we have a Black Lesbian in the mainstream is big. And this one’s particularly important because she is co-main character. She has a close knit black family that doesn’t care she is gay and who are pretty well written. Yeah this show isn’t perfect. But for a 15 year old black girl who is used to girls who look like her be the comic relief, the side character, the one that dies or only used to seeing white lesbians or light skinned lesbians, this is great. Let her enjoy it. Because I know that I would have.

You’re a grown man with the trauma of a little girl. ... I don’t mean that trans men cannot speak about the misogyny they experienced; it’s just now, most people will look at me and not see the layers of patriarchal violence I experienced. The song “Sweet Cis Teen” asks: Am I a boy or am I just my trauma? But all of my experiences did not magically disappear the moment(s) I realized I am a man, nor were they left behind. It was traumatic being a Chinese woman. I was spat at, harassed, fetishized, assaulted, told that my worth depended on others, my experience and abilities invalidated. My bodymind holds these memories and shapes itself with them, and I do not want to trivialize these memories because they continue to inform who I am and my politics.

this entire essay is worth a read, but the quotations I pulled out are the ones that strike me deeply, being the most relatable to my own FtM experience.
