It’s okay if you don’t want to be a parent.

You don’t have to have “motherly” instincts.

You don’t have to think pregnancy is beautiful.

Some people do and that’s fine, but you don’t have to have kids just because other people expect you to.

Being nonbinary and/or trans can be really hard when people are constantly denying you your identity.

I’m here to remind you that those people are wrong.

Only you can be right about your identity, it is real, you are valid, and you are loved and accepted.

Don’t give up. Things will get better!

And if anyone needs to talk to me, I’m always open. 🌈

Lack of knowledge is not a fault, unwillingness to learn is. Make sure not to confuse the two because the first may often seem like the second, and the second often hides itself in the first.

So you said queer history didn't start with Stonewall, which is not even surprising at all. However, that's all I've ever been told, so I don't know anything about the time before Stonewall. Do you have a tag, a masterpost, or some articles or something for me to read so I can learn about queer history before Stonewall? And I'm sorry if this comes off as rude or anything; I just genuinely want to learn the untold history of the community I'm a part of. Thanks 😊

First, thank you for coming to us, you didn’t come off as rude at all. 

Well, we don’t have a tag or masterpost, but I can create a list of articles we have up at this point (May 14, 2018) that focuses on queer subjects from before Stonewall.

An important tenet of aro activism is–or should be–dismantling the idea that any type of relationship or attraction (romantic, platonic, queerplatonic, sexual, etc.) is inherently deeper, more meaningful, or more valuable than any other. The axis on which someone’s feelings or interpersonal relationships operate should not determine their value. All of these things are self-definable, and the depth and meaningfulness of anyone’s individual experiences ought to be determined by that individual, not by classifications constructed by others.

as aro/ace people, we have our own unique struggles. don’t let anyone silence you or make you feel as if your experiences aren’t important because you’re “not lgbt enough.” we deserve a place to talk about our experiences without being diminished.

Labels are only kinda effective. They can’t describe every nuance of someone’s behavior. And that’s okay. Umbrella terms exist for a reason, definitions shift over time, new language and ways to describe yourself pop up. It’s okay to be complex and multifaceted.

this is your 9 pm reminder that queerplatonic and quasiplatonic relationships are beautiful, meaningful, and important, and so are the people in them
