no matter what anyone says. im still trans. i could stay in the closet forever and i’d still be trans. you could misgender me on my headstone and i’d still be trans.
even if the world “eradicates” trans people, i’d still be trans. if there wasn’t a word for transgender i would still be trans. if transgender people were erased from history we would still be trans, because we existed and we were trans.
i am and will always be transgender. no matter what people say about us. we have always been here and we still always stay here, even if you dont like it.

I’ve been a bit hesitant to do this but gender update time! I’ve been thinking and I wanna try out he/they pronouns alongside the name Arthur. So yeah you all can call me that if you like! Thank you for all your patience as I figure everything out. I went from thinking I was bi to bi and nonbinary to bi demigirl to pan demigirl to lesbian demigirl to genderfluid lesbian to grayromantic graysexual transmasc and I’m still fucking terrified. But I’m also really proud of myself and grateful for all the support you’ve all given. Thank you sincerely.

at best, they call us helpless poor lost little girls who can’t find their way in a cruel world and when we refuse their help they call us hysterical young women too lost in their own delusions to see how far they’ve strayed from the path and when we reject them they call us traitors we’ve lost our halos and become demonic men, agents of corruption angry beasts of fire and wrath that seek only to destroy their sanctity and yet— when we live, we are not respected they tape over our mouths and insist we’re mistaken when we die, we do not keep our names they’re taken from us, our last wishes thrown out with our dignity and buried in dresses and they shrug when we ask where our brothers are buried “what brothers?” they say. “those poor women will surely repent” “at the holy gates, admit to sacrilege” “they were never yours to claim” but if the body is such a sacred place we partake in the holy act of creation and your desecration of men made divine in our image is more a sin than any of us have ever been

The hint of a shape emerges. Kas closes their eyes, left hand on the lowest keyboard as their right pulls the switch. Upstairs, the crowd has fallen silent. Gilbert and Rae finally stop sniping at each other, and Kas feels more than hears Gilbert come up to stand behind them. “There,” they say. “Look.” They move to the next switch, and the shape in the pool, almost human now, falters. It turns liquid again, then gas, then solid, dripping light from its aethereal body. Kas presses a key, then another. The shape rises. The connection has been made. Another switch. A flicker. The quintessence collapses in a wave; occluding light briefly obscures the glass wall. It leaves streaks of luminescent liquid behind, snaking their way down to the pool as it starts to swirl once more. “Stop!” Gilbert shouts. “Turn it off!”
A teaser from my short story 'The Light Organ', which is going to be published in Aether Beyond the Binary, a queer anthology from @duckprintspress.
You can get it by backing the Kickstarter campaign for the anthology, where my short story is just one of 17 incredible contributions, all featuring characters outside of the gender binary and more. It's on right now and we need your help to reach the funding goal!

Just officially finished GO s2…
So. Apparently Neil Gaiman was named ‘Gaiman’ and has made it his entire life’s purpose to devastate the average queer person (me. I’m devastated) .
Mission accomplished.

For feeling me
I chase black eyes and bleeding cuts
It is in defiance of classic femininity
But not in acceptance of modern masculinity
It is for the same reason I got lost in stories that weren’t mine
As a child I always played alone
I wish my scraped-up knees hadn’t healed
So, I could still feel the innocence of childhood aches
I named myself a child of the moon and the stars, created a life in a different world
For I did not feel I could belong here
I will always miss the easy sunrise
That is now tucked away in the deepest corner of my brain
Now I mostly watch the steady falling of rain
My name did not yet change
But I did
Still, I am trying to recreate an image of the past that was more easy-going on my eyes
In my mind I am still that same child
But I am not
I am still chasing black eyes and bleeding cuts
Of different meaning, maybe, than before
But still for the same reason
That being, in honour of feeling myself

Why we pay professional rates to contributors
Tumblr media
It is not unusual these days for literary magazines to charge submission fees and/or to offer publication without payment. There are myriad reasons for this, many outlined in a great opinion piece by Joy Lanzendorfer (link in the reblog), but one of the most basic and prevalent being that it takes money to run a lit mag, even a very small one. (Example: it costs us about $250 a year just to maintain our ad-free website.) Many lit mag editors are already volunteering their time and energy to the project and literally can't afford to fund it.
Being writers ourselves, we recognize that it is a privilege to be published - a privilege often denied to those of us who are from marginalized and underrepresented communities.
But as editors, we recognize that it is an even greater privilege to publish work we love and want to see out in the world. Especially when we are soliciting work specifically from marginalized and underrepresented voices. Especially when people from these marginalized and underrepresented communities are often under physical threat and psychological duress simply for being who they are. Especially when people from marginalized and underrepresented communities often face employment discrimination, including reduced job opportunities and lower wages.
And especially when our contributors are undertaking the important - we believe, necessary - emotional and intellectual labor of developing a collective vision for a sustainable and socially just future. Labor that benefits not just marginalized and underrepresented communities, but all of us who want to live in an inclusive future that recognizes, validates, and celebrates the vast diversity of human experiences.
Therefore, one of the earliest and easiest decisions we made about this anthology project was to pay professional rates for contributors' work and to charge no submission fees.
As a speculative fiction publication, we're using the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) guidelines. As a professional organization, SFWA requires its voting members to have professional credentials, and one of those requirements is that a member needs to have been paid professional rates for a certain amount of their published work. Every so often, SFWA reviews and may change what counts as professional payment; currently (August 2023), that rate is 8¢ USD per word for prose.
Paying a SFWA professional rate allows our prose contributors to count work published by Inclusive Future Magazine toward their SFWA membership requirements. More importantly, however, paying our contributors professional rates is the right thing to do.
Tumblr media
Submissions for Issue 1 are still open until October 6th, 2023! We're still looking for prose pieces inspired by our cover art and by Al Hess's illustration, a movie poster for Unbreakable Butch, political cartoons or comics, and fake advertisements. See the pinned post on our blog for more info!

hi transgender website does anyone have recommendations for books/essays/articles that will make you feel seen as a trans person. particularly looking for something that speaks to the ftm experience but any kind of trans writing is good.
if ur a trans writer by all means feel free to plug ur own stuff. i just need to feel less isolated.

Nomi J. - writeblr intro
Hello everyone! My name is Nomi J. (any pronouns) and I am an adult fiction and 18+ erotica writer. My narratives center around queer characters and experiences and are typically magical realism or high fantasy. I'm always happy to chat with people about writing, so don't be shy about messaging me or sending asks if the mood strikes you. I'm a Tumblr veteran of at least eight years (so I've seen it all, no really.) I've been writing for many years, but have only recently had the courage to put my work out into the world. Romance is my whole jam, and it will be the primary focus of my blog.
A note: Please steer clear if you are under the age of 18. My work is for adults only. I will block minors. You have been warned.
A bit about me...
I am in my mid twenties and definitively queer/genderqueer. I have ADHD and I will occasionally post ADHD content that relates to writing. I do not engage in discourse of any kind, as I prefer to respectfully listen to the experiences of others.
My favorite book (of all time): The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
I'm currently enjoying: Mo Dao Zu Shi (The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation) by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu
Other interests/skills of mine include art, guitar, harp, video games (particularly The Elder Scrolls and Dragon Age), and anything that involves mermaids.
Current WIPs (as posted on my blog)
Lunar Lagoon (I update when I have time for writing.)
Lunar Lagoon is a series of lesbian vignettes that started as erotica and has moved towards long form erotic romance. The main characters are Lyria and Amelia, who are drawn to each other through the sparks of both pleasure and genuine romance. This is a fast paced, supernatural romance with mermaids, lgbt themes, and an ambiguous modern setting in the Mediterranean. The narrative deals with trust, control and freedom, and autonomy in love and relationships.
Lunar Lagoon Masterpost
Crossroads (Stays in my google docs until I publish it.)
Hazel Abernathy, a witch with financial struggles, gets stood up on Valentine's Day at the swankiest club in her city. She meets two demons, Lillian and Aleksander, who give her a night to remember and a promise to continue the fun. Days later, Hazel strikes gold with an anonymous client who is willing to pay mountains of cash for a secretive issue. When she meets the client for the first time, she finds that she knows the client far more intimately than she could have anticipated. This is a spicy supernatural romance set in modern America. The relationship is a m/f/f throuple and the narrative deals with themes of grief, loss, and unconditional love.
Short Stories
Wear a Coat (link here)
A horror short story set in the Appalachian mountains, where I come from. What happens when you don’t follow your mama’s advice and go looking for berries without a coat? Maybe you’ll just get cold or maybe you’ll attract unwanted attention from something dwelling deep within the forest…
Additionally…
I write because I am passionate about it. At the end of the day, my writing is for myself, and any enjoyment that others derive from it is a lovely bonus. I do not take unsolicited constructive criticism, especially on matters of taste. All original posts on this blog are my intellectual property, and I do not give permission to repupload or cross post on any other sites.
