I am honored to be in Esther Ong Estelle’s “Beyond Binary: Exploring life beyond data” virtual exhibition that just opened and runs through Nov. 30, 2023.

It’s also a delight to share such a creative space with Jeanyoon Choi and John Cheung! Both of these artists present intriguing works that go beyond traditional borders. The clean, pristine presentation of the virtual gallery gives maximum presence to each of the works individually. Very nicely done!

Happy Pride Month to Everyone with Xenogenders and Everyone who's gender is connected to their Nonhuman or Alterhuman Identity!!

I know that fans commonly hc Vee as genderfluid or a demigirl, and I get why - I love that headcanon, too - but I'm also mildy amused by the alternative

that Vee, the shapeshifting basilisk from the Demon Realm who's free to assume any form she wants at any time, has no qualms whatsoever about being a girl all the time (she tried other forms once, on a whim; wasn't interested)

while her non-magical, completely human joyfriend Masha is the one who challenges your preconceived notions of gender on a daily basis

just makes for a very fun subversion of expectations on the whole "genderfluid shapeshifter" trope

Just thinking in Ray in front of the door just bc he doesn't want MC go to their new job lol, than how he doesn't move thay try to climb him

"Why do you need to go to work? I have money."

"Are you going to work today?"

"Pfft. No."

"Then how are you making money?"

"Stocks. I invested a couple hundred thousand in some company called 'Gamestop' a couple years ago? It was doing pretty good."

*cue MC trying to dive out the window*

Probably the most heartbreaking thing about my big all any queer gendery wendery sexery wexery donations post is how many people put "i don't know if i count" somewhere in their reblog. I'm just... like, of course you count, ya always count, c'mere lemme hug you.

⚠️PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT⚠️

The Queer Liberation Library is, as the name suggests, a digital library centered around queer literature. They offer library cards to anyone in any place, all you need in order to sign up is an email address. Then you can access their catalog online or through apps like Libby.

When I signed up I received an email that said there’s sometimes a waitlist, but I should have my card within a week or else someone would get back to me within that timeframe to explain if I had to wait longer. I ended up getting my card after only a couple of days.

Their website is very accessible and easy to use. My favorite features are the button at the bottom of the screen which lets you switch between light and dark mode, and the Quick Exit banner along the top of the page that doesn’t go away regardless of where you navigate on the site.

This is such an incredible resource and I can’t believe I didn’t know about it until very recently. I want every queer person to know about it! They have accounts on most of the major social media sites (such as tiktok, Instagram, even here on tumblr at @queerliblib). There’s also a place on their website where you can suggest books they should add to their catalog.

After you get your card, I’d suggest the first book you read to be Beyond the Gender Binary by Alok Vaid-Menon. It is a short but powerful little book that I think is an incredibly concise analysis of societal gender-based discrimination, and a great place to start a lot of really important discussions. I listened to the audiobook this morning (it was only an hour long, which is a win for my trash attention span) and I couldn’t believe how good it was for so little page time.

I will absolutely be reading the rest of the Pocket Change Collective (the series which Beyond the Gender Binary is part of) and I can’t wait to see what I’ll learn from them.

As a bigender person who uses he and she pronouns with no preference for frequency of changing it up i am very defensive of the bazaar's pronoun usage. It doesn't give a shit ♡ however I still feel semi obliged to change it up and usually lean towards it/its because I need to assure everyone anxiously I recognize its crabgendered swag

But also i really do like how canonically the bazaar is referred to as he/she/it, most people have one set they lean towards, and the bazaar also is referred to with traditionally gendered titles like 'mother' and 'father'! And? Absolutely none of that is a reflection on what its gender identity is!

I think if the Bazaar wanted, it could communicate a preference, but doesn't— though I'm somewhat sure the Bazaar has never been referred to with 'they/them' (as a fellow person who simply isn't a they/them, I like this a lot. It isn't just 'the default pronoun for nonbinary people')

This has been 'the guy who really likes the bazaar, talking about the bazaar and gender a little, thank you very much'

Back the Aether Beyond the Binary Kickstarter Campaign!

Duck Prints Press is thrilled to announce that the crowdfunding campaign for science-fantasy gender-diverse sixth anthology Aether Beyond the Binary is now live on Kickstarter!

The core concept of Aether Beyond the Binary is simple and compelling: create intriguing main characters outside the gender binary and set them loose to explore the modern world twisted or barely changed, enhanced or destroyed by magical aether. This power source may replace technology, supplement it, or oppose it. These characters may be agender, genderfluid, bigender, or any other non-binary identity. The thread that these tales share is exploration: of the world around them and of the self. We propose no conclusions; instead, we demonstrate how far-reaching the questions are and how expansive the range of possible answers can be, thereby broadening the discussion about the nature of gender and the place of genderqueer characters in science-fantasy fiction. We hope you’ll join us to explore the endless possibilities of these magical worlds.

This anthology includes 17 stories, each up to 7,500 words, by our diverse fancreators-turned-original-fiction-authors, gorgeous artwork by Mar Spragge, Pippin Peacock, Alessa Riel, and Atomic Pixies, amazing merchandise, and awesome add-on extras.

Looking for the perfect post-holiday purchase? Look no further! Get awesome, gorgeous stuff, a fantastic, erudite book, and support queer indie publishing – become a backer of the Aether Beyond the Binary crowdfunding campaign TODAY!

Campaign ends January 25th, 2024.

Patreon backers who support the crowdfunding campaign can also get an excellent extra: the adorable plant-watering backer as a key chain! So there’s no time like the present to back us on Patreon, too!

anyways i love you people that are both gay and straight, in whatever way that presents. being nonbinary often can mean a complicated relationship to sexuality and how one perceives it within the societal restrictions of homo and heterosexual, and i think bridging those definitions and having "contradictory" labels like lesboy or whatever is really cool. i support and stan he/him lesbians or butch lesbians or she/her gay men or femme gays or she/he pronoun users and whatever else, be it cis or trans or both. if you feel like youre both cis and trans that also rocks. dont let people force you back into a binary within the queer community, stay strong!
