"Queer people don't grow up as ourselves, we grow up playing a version of ourselves that sacrifices authenticity to minimise humiliation & prejudice. The massive task of our adult lives is to unpick which parts of ourselves are truly us & which parts we've created to protect us."
- Alexander Leon
Be kind to yourself and those around you 💗💜

I know it destroys your conservative worldview that trans and non-binary people exist, but that doesn't mean our gender identities aren't real.

Person A: I would like to climb on the roof and shout out “I am a homosexual in love with Person B, who is also a homosexual”!
Person B: Okay, well, let’s have breakfast first, and then go to work, and then let’s not do that.

(cont.) "There's a stereotype of Asian men being feminine, being subdued, and quiet. They're seen as effeminate, you know - soft features, never in positions of authority, or of power. The irony is that here are Asian drag queens who are embracing and diving deep into a stereotypical feminine presentation, yet gaining so much power and strength and being on top. You put a little dash of makeup, a little dab of makeup, all of a sudden it's like: Wait, what just happened there?
I never set out to inspire other people or try to be a role model. I feel kind of weird saying it - but only say that because other people have said so. I have met young people who have warmed my heart when they come up to me and say, 'When I watched you perform, when I saw you in drag, I came out.' Whoa! That's deep! They found a performance that I was probably nervous about, not realizing that it could inspire someone."
— Aleksa Manila, genderqueer drag icon and activist, from the Wing Luke Museum's "Where Beauty Lies" exhibit.
