Xenotraits Pride Flags + Symbols "Xenotraits are personality traits/facets of identity that cannot be described through typical, current, human terms and may be expressed through objects, sensations, scenes, concepts, and more. Xenotraits are similar to xenogenders but rather than atypical concepts being related to gender identity, they're connected to ones identity as a person. This term may also be spelled "xeno traits" or "xeno-traits.""

I’m actually serious about this, if at all possible, right now is a very good time to request queer books from your local library. Whether they get them or not is not in your control, but it is so important to show that there is a desire for queer books. I will also say getting more queer books in libraries and supporting queer authors are pretty fantastic byproducts of any action.

This isn’t something everyone can do, but please do see if you are one of the people who has the privilege to engage in this form of activism, and if you are, leverage that privilege for all you’re worth.

For anyone who can’t think of a queer book to request, here is a little list of some queer books that I think are underrated and might not be in circulation even at larger libraries:

The more I see lesbians who are anywhere under the trans umbrella the happier I am.

Since reading Stone Butch Blues at the start of this year,

Since following a bunch of they/them, he/him, she/they/he, nonbinary, trans, butch lesbians on here,

And watching a few interviews by Lynn Breedlove of Tribe 8,

I just feel like home, people like me exist, and people like me have existed for a while! I don't have to debate my identity with anyone, I just *am* some queer, gender-weird butch dyke 🌈

And if you don't like it: goodbye, don't bother me.

[bromantically]

the point of slur reclamation is not to take away its status as a slur, but to take its power from the hands of oppressors and put it into our own. i do not reclaim words like fag because my goal is to normalize it and get rid of its status as a slur, i reclaim it because im making it mine now. im taking it so the power over it is in my hands, im taking their weapons from them and i dont intend to give them back

"you can't gatekeep flags"

Reminder that my flags are MY ART. I get to choose who has the permission to use MY ART.

Endos have taken everything from us, our terms, our flags, OUR SAFE SPACES.

If my art can help systems reclaim what's rightfully ours I will do so -saturn

. . . fairy flag !

[ PT: fairy flag! End PT ]

a flag for anyone who reclaims the derogatory term “fairy.” this is especially used to target feminine queer men, however it had also been used against gender non-conforming queer and/or intersex people in general. use whichever version you prefer!

Petition to replace “brainrot” with brainlichen.

My brain isn’t so much rotting as having everything covered with my hyperfixation in a symbiotic and inextricable process that can take anything from the environment and make it about my blorbos

You're using "reclaim" wrongly.

It's come to my attention that anti-endos do not know what "reclaim" means, so let me explain. Reclaiming is the act of a group of people taking a word, phrase or term, etc., that was previously used against them in a negative way and then making it into something positive for themselves instead.

Examples include:

Queer

Faggot

Dyke

Tranny

Shi/hir (Prns for the intersex community)

Etc.! (I can say all these things and ofc anyone can say shi/hir but must be intersex to use them for themself, anyone can say queer)

You are not being insulted by or attacked by innocent lgbtq/mogai terms pro-endos have made that have literally nothing to do with you neither are being used against you, etc.

You cannot "reclaim" these. You can coin a term similar, but you're not reclaiming if you just repost these with new flags or something. You're genuinely just straight up stealing and it's not okay and it's not cute and it's harmful to misuse that word, acting like you have the right to do this. I haven't seen any pro-endos do this so maybe it's just ignorant anti-endos once again feeling the need to in any possible way shape or form harass pro-endogenics but if any pro-endos are doing this as well I also advise you to stop. Like literally please stop.

Stop misusing the word reclaim to defend stealing terms. You look like a fool and you are a thief. Anyways, anyone can use our terms or coin ones similar, but not stolen. I cannot make you, but hopefully if anyone actually cares about morals, anti-endo or whatever else, that they'll heed my words. Have a nice day everyone.

Reposts encouraged but not forced!

(Don't harass anybody doing this as well if you care about morals, you aren't helping, just inform them and move on, you cannot convince a fool to see sense by being a jerk yourself.)

radical inclusivity is integral to the lgbtq+ community.

we are all in the same boat of otherness in the eyes of cishetnormative society, it does no good to infight over labels deemed contradictory or embarrassing.

it hurts no one if a man identifies as a lesbian or if someone uses neopronouns. it does not ‘make us look bad,’ it does not ‘bring down the movement.’ it is unabashed queerness.

those who wish harm upon the lgbtq+ community wish harm upon ALL of us. there are no exceptions for those who bootlick or attempt to conform.

a multisexual spectrum gay looks the same as a monosexual gay to those who want gays dead.

peace to old and new queer folk, peace to faggots, dykes, and transsexuals, peace to gays, lesbians, and transgender persons, peace to those i don’t understand and those i do, peace to the lgbtq+ community for ever and ever.

The urge to write a cheesy made-for-tv holiday movie/winter sports wolfwren au is so strong….

Shin Hati, a phenom brought up in the world of competitive alpine skiing, seeks out Baylan Skoll, her first coach and estranged adopted father, to train for the biggest race of her career. She never expected to find him in a small mountain resort town obsessed with Christmas. She expected Sabine Wren, an annoying member of Mountain Rescue, lifelong snowboard enthusiast and supreme distraction even less.

Sabine Wren could have gone to the Olympics, but mysteriously quit her training, causing a rift between her and her family of Olympic gold medalists. She’s made peace with what could have been and learned to enjoy winter sports for the fun and freedom, living an exciting life with a community she loves. Then this arrogant, single-minded skier just shows up and prods at old wounds during what should be the happiest time of the year!

They have a lot to learn from each other on and off the slopes, if they don’t kill each other first.
