#Queer folx

[pitch-locke]

There's something so visceral about The Blue Eyed Samurai that really resonated with my identity as someone non-binary, aromantic and asexual.

It feels very genuine in its expression of the experience of a purpose outside romance and love, despite how much everyone insists those are the only options.

Allowing their assigned gender to dictate their life experience is just not an option.

A moment, brief and bitter, where Mizu forces themself to play the role they was born into and trying to find their peace in it, even succeeding in those momentary joys.

But as always, those moments are tainted by dissatisfaction, knowing that that life, that future was not made for them. Or rather they were not made for it.

No room for love or romance, no craving for power or money.

In the moments where carnal instincts could take precedence they will turn their head away as many times as it takes.

They will find their peace in nature, in the sound of crashing waves and soft breezes, make physical contact only when it truly matters. Mizu will never waver. They will never look back.

My body will not dictate the life I choose to lead. It will not sway me from my purpose. I see myself in that.

#stream of consciousness #The Non-binary representation really struck a chord with #not denying their body #but not letting it dictate their life #never acting like a man #never acting life a woman #It just doesnt matter. #it never mattered #born any gender at all #their purpose would be the same #and i see myself in that #mizu blue eye samurai #non binary pride #nonbinary #The Blue Eyed Samurai #Blue Eyed Samurai #lgbtqia #Rainbow Mafia #Queer folx #Asexual Squad #ace pride #Aromantic Homies #aroace #aromantic

Unpopular opinion, but it's really getting old that Queer folks make fun of str8 folks constantly like it's a personality trait. It's really not funny to me anymore. We know that their compulsory heterosexuality is gross. Queers will stay in a predominately str8 space online to laugh at the cishets behind their backs. Meanwhile, you're fighting with homo- and trans- phobes on a regular basis when you could just leave? Certain people just want to stay ignorant on Queer issues. Why waste your breath? If you know that you are not welcome, why stay there?

Dear Cis People,

Stop saying "folx." Stop saying "womxn" and "mxn." Stop saying "Latinx." Stop trying to be gender inclusive like this and attempting to make words gender neutral in the worst way possible.

Stop adding an "X" to words that are already inclusive of everyone, such as "folks"!

Stop adding "X" to words that don't need it because, newsflash, nonbinary people ARE NOT binary trans people! We are not binary men and women. We have terms like AFAB and AMAB to use instead of forcibly being lumped together with binary men and women! You wanna talk about women and AFAB enbies? SAY THAT! You wanna talk about men and AMAB enbies? SAY THAT! But please stop including us all together all the time!

Stop anglicizing languages like Spanish to make them gender neutral when there are better options, like saying "LatinE" or "Latin." And options like using an "E" instead of an "X" to neutralize gendered terms! Stop using an X when it literally doesn't make sense and is hard to pronounce anyway!

I get it; some of you wanna be inclusive of everyone. But this ain't it. It really is not. This isn't helping anyone and is so unnecessary. It is performative and, honestly, racist and transphobic/enbyphobic, whether it's intended or not. Please stop!! And PLEASE talk to actual nonbinary people on how to be gender inclusive towards us instead!!

All jokes aside, I am so sorry for my trans siblings who had to put on a mask today. I'm so sorry for everyone who had to dress in clothes that don't match who they are. I'm so sorry for everyone who spent the day with transphobic family or an unaccepting church. I'm so sorry that you weren't allowed celebrate your transness on the day where we're supposed to be seen.

I've been looking for reviews from trans masc folks who get their T through Folx Health, and surprisingly I'm not finding very much. So I was wondering if anyone who follows me or sees this would be willing to share a little about their experiences with the service?

It's an option now in my state, so I'm thinking about switching--and of course I'm concerned that I may be forced to switch at some point in the future whether I want to or not. Although I'm glad that this is now a back up option for me.

I already do telehealth for my HRT, but the clinic I get my T through is located in a neighboring state--a state where gender affirming care for minors is already banned; it doesn't appear that they've made any moves toward banning care for adults yet, but I have to consider that it could happen.

On one hand, the clinic I go through is a little less than 3 hours away, so I could potentially cross state lines and still see them, just in person, if the state that I live in passes a ban.

On the other, after doing the math, going through Folx would actually cost me considerably less per year than continuing through my current clinic. My health insurance doesn't cover the full cost of my visits or labs and it doesn't pay for my T at all. So I would actually come out ahead money wise to switch.

I've been strongly considering switching to injections also, and my current doctor has a preference for prescribing topicals for people on T unless there is an absorption issue.

And by switching I could also go back to having my T simply shipped to my door without any weird interactions at the pharmacy.

So if anyone is willing to answer: what has your experience with Folx Health been like? What labs are you able to go to for lab work (I have a decent trans friendly LabCorp office nearby that I'd like to keep going to)? Are they good about responding to messages and getting prescriptions sent in a timely manner?

Personally, it feels weird and performative to throw an x into an already gender-neutral term just for the hell of it, but want to know what others think.

Why do ppl care abt Latinx, like if you dont wanna use that term its fine,, Latino or Latine is also gender neutral,,, but i swear that latinx isn't our biggest problem jesus. Like why dont we focus our energy on how machismo literally protects pedophiles?? Bc a lot of latines value men over their daughters so when girls come foward they get blamed for a GROWN MAN'S actions!!! Hatred of queerness will be our downfall bc how you gonna have a melt down over a letter, grow up. And now i see fellow latinos supporting Sara Huckabee Sanders bc she banned latinx,,, like,,,, did yall forget she calls our immigrant parents criminals?? Hating latinx is just a way to lure out latin voters. Dont fall for it.

#not that the dems are any better with false promises #but Republicans literally wanna kill us so #rant #latinx #latine #also latinx was created by queer latines #using it isn't white washing #its literally just a preference #like i dont like the word folx so i get it bc folks is already gender neutral #but c'mon im not gonna have a fit over it

Searching for a book to read is hard when the book you want to read doesn't actually exist because the damn author never actually writes the damn story.

It's me, I'm the damn author.

#{domino talks} #i wanna read about my OCs??? very offensive that I can't just materialize the story from my thoughts??? #someone scan my brain and make the book real pwease 🥺 #the library app doesn't have a real sorting system and it makes me >:( #because i can search the topic of LGBTQIA+ but i can't filter out the romance novels #like but i just want a group of queer folx going on an adventure or living in a fantasy world #buddy i meant buddy

Okay but I really would cry to see Texas turn blue in the next election

#yes I just watched RW&RB #I thought I would cry at the crowds of queer folx outside Buckingham Palace #but nope #it was blue fucking Texas

[theplotdoctor]

hey as a nonbinary person can you not use folx it pisses me off so fucking much

Nope 🥰

Folx is deliberately queer and purposeful in its pointlessness. Folx tells the cis people "I'm taking your language and subverting it for my own purposes". It makes them sit in their own discomfort, and awkwardness, and rigid adherence to the binary status quo, or it makes them angry and then you get to tell them to "fuxk off".

Sorry you got caught in the crossfire sib. My love to ya.

I'm so happy to see J. Harrison Ghee's performance of this number being shared in a way that can reach a wider audience than the Broadway show.

#i saw the show when it was still in previews and it was *magical* #real gender euphoria happening in musical theater form #musical theater #some like it hot (the musical) #this number got a much-deserved standing ovation and all the queer folx in the audience (myself included) were weeping #Youtube
