As a cis-bi-male, I fully support this statement. Whatever YOUR identity, you should too.

No LGB without the T!

To all the fathers out there who do their best for their young ones, Happy Father's Day. Yes, this includes trans men who are parents - you are Fathers, in my cis (bi) man book.

This is a valuable resource, reblogged in case any of this will help you for yourself from services or companies that you feel exploited by.

decentralize and clean up your life!!!

use overdrive, libby, hoopla, cloudlibrary, and kanopy instead of amazon and audible.

hi wtf is up with the biphobia???

its pride month... it is, i fear, PRIDE MONTH???? why are we hating on one another during PRIDE MONTH? isnt the beauty of being apart of the lgbtq community that we all care for eachother and love eachother NO MATTER our sexuality, but because we know the struggles our identities have been through and we're here to support eachother MORE THAN EVER now????

QUICK FUCKING REMINDER

being bisexual DOES NOT MEAN being GAY or being STRAIGHT. it means that we like BOTH men AND women. BOTH. NOT JUST ONE. BOTH. can we have a preference? yes we can. you can like mainly men with a sprinkle of women and still be bisexual. you can like mainly women with a sprinkle of men and still be bisexual. you can have only ever dated men and never a woman OR vice versa AND STILL BE BISEXUAL. IF YOU ARE ATTRACTED TO BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, THEN YOU ARE BISEXUAL.

have we all not been through enough fucking hate over the years?? why are we hating on one another during a month where we're meant to embrace ALL of us??

Ice cold takes from a Transgender Woman:

Men are not inherently Evil

Everyone has the capacity for evil

Transgender Men are men

Transgender Women are women

Excluding Cisgender Men from your spaces requires Transgender Men to out themselves if they want to engage (Same for Women)

Anyone can be Non-Binary, there is no "look" or requirement

Non-binary masculine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces, many are just treated as men and predators

Non-binary feminine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces without being seen as "Woman-Lite"

Edited the wording on the first point because too many terfs keep thinking I'm their friend.

Two years after being tasked with commissioning a review of medical evidence surrounding gender-affirming care for trans youth, Utah’s own state health department has concluded that trans healthcare bans “cannot be justified.” The Republicans who commissioned the study aren’t too happy about it.

Back in 2023, Utah Governor Spencer Cox signed a bill that placed an indefinite “moratorium” on doctors prescribing gender-affirming care like hormone therapy and puberty blockers to trans youth. That bill ordered the Utah Department of Health and Human Services to compile their report in order to produce recommendations for the state government on whether or not to lift the moratorium.

This week, the department delivered their long-awaited, over 1,000-page report — which is dated August 6, 2024 — to Utah lawmakers. The report’s authors found that “the consensus of the evidence supports that the treatments are effective in terms of mental health, psychosocial outcomes, and the induction of body changes consistent with the affirmed gender in pediatric GD [gender dysphoria] patients.”

The authors added that “the evidence also supports that the treatments are safe in terms of changes to bone density, cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic changes, and cancer.” Trans youth who had received gender-affirming care were within the bounds of normal, non-pathological ranges for these conditions.

y’all this is huge. please don’t “water is wet” all over it! I understand that we all already know this… The point is that the world doesn’t know or care or believe and so these studies really fucking matter!

Hey. I don't have the money to help, but I can vouch that this is a real couple in need of just a LITTLE help to make it through, so I'm posting it to try and help them find the few (or even one?) person they need to give them the little boost they need. If you can, do it. If you can't, do what I'm doing.

for once I'm not panicking about my phone bill. but the payment is going to completely wipe out the rest of the weekly paycheck, and I gotta be able to get some necessities and afford to get my boyfriend rides home from work. anything helps, just trying to get through to the next paycheck! $80 would be enough to get us through.

Oh fuck yes! And *I* am a cis-bi-male.

things you DO NOT need to be a man

XY chromosomes

things you DO need to be a man

the swiftness of a coursing river

the force of a great typhoon

the strength of a raging fire

the mysteriousness of the dark side of the moon
