A passage from Reclaiming Two-Spirits: Sexuality, Spiritual Renewal & Sovereignty in Native America by Gregory D. Smithers.

A photograph of a page from the book mentioned above, which reads:

"Language reclamation and renewal is key to understanding Two-Spirit storytelling. From Mesoamerica to sub-Arctic tribal communities, Native languages routinely avoided the use gender pronouns. Lakota speakers for example, tended to use the linguistically neuter "it" instead of gendered pronouns. Throughout Indian Country, distinctions of animate and inanimate, thing and person, human and more-than-human kinship, carried greater meaning than Western-style gender pronouns. The Hopi, who speak an Uto-Aztecan language, distinguish people and things not according to gender but according to the categories animate, inanimate and vegetable. Athabaskan speakers didn't historically use gender pronouns and as a consequence had what Europeans perceived as confusing gender distinctions. Among Dakota-speaking people, gender is understood in lots of different ways, but historically the language has never involved the use of gender-specific pronouns. And Iroquoian speakers, like the Cherokees, did not use gender-specific pronouns either.

These examples only scratch the surface of linguistic and cultural understandings of how Native Americans blended gender roles in and identities and engaged in sexual activity they considered normal and healthy. Traditionally, Indigenous people tended to avoid using anatomy or physical appearance as crude markers of gender. They developed much more complex social and cultural systems that made room for gender blending and sexual fluidity within kin-based communities.

The idea that an individual might blend multiple gender identities into their conception of self is an alien concept in virtually every Western culture. But when Europeans began invading the Americas during the late fifteenth century, most Native communities did not connect gender to to anatomical concepts of "sex" in the way we do today. Instead, Indigenous people blended occupational roles, physical characteristics and clothing, speech patterns and jewelry, and spiritual and... (text ends here)"

Explaining my gender to cis people: “it was a careful process of extremely precise measurements. I had a team of doctors peer review my findings. Once completed, there was only one logical explanation: I am trans”

Explaining my gender to other trans people: “so anyways I stuck a live arc welder in a box with all the genders I could find and shook it up. Then I decided to take whatever came out for a test drive and so far it’s workin pretty well for me”

Give me your queer Hellaverse headcanons PLEASE. I don't care how out of left field it is, I'll take anything.

I'll start

Blitz is pansexual (canon) but he's also reciproromantic. He didn't love Stolas until he knew Stolas loved him.

Loona is bisexual (canon) but also aceflux. I cannot put into words why I think it fits, but she'd also look great in the colors of the aceflux flag.

Acespec Angel Dust. I've seen so many different versions of this one, like putting him as sex-favorable all over the ace spectrum, and it's just fun

Charlie is bisexual (canon), but also demisexual. I just think it would fit her personality, I think the emotional attachment would be very, VERY important to her.

But please give me more I'm enjoying this

"transgender and nonbinary people didn't exist before now. its a fad"

Virginia Woolf in 1928:

Dude it's so weird how monogamous people will take personal offense to your open or polyam relationships, as if it's their personal business how your relationship works and they try to make up the rules of your relationship for you. I'm perfectly happy with the idea of my boyfriend sleeping with other people, yet one of his online friends took offense to that today and told me I was just encouraging him to cheat, and when I tried to explain to him that cheating means boundaries have been crossed and the rules of what loyalty means to your personal relationship means to your were broken he got so mad at me on my behalf and tried saying shit like "This new generation just wants to normalize cheating" as if he isn't the same generation as me and my boyfriend. Like it's our relationship and we agreed that it's alright for him to sleep with others, but this monogamous guy got so offended by it because of his past experiences with cheating. And I know damn well that this is a common occurrence for non monogamous people to deal with. Why do monogamous people feel so entitled to make the rules of our relationships for us?

Reblog this post if you believe that over weight people are as oppressed as their Black,Asian, Muslim,Jewish,Queer,Trans,Nonbinary and Neurodivergent counterparts.

You can’t control your weight like how you can’t control your race, gender identity, sexuality, religion you’re born into, whether you’re disabled or not.

It’s time we start validating fat people’s struggles and uplifting our voices. we deserve our struggles to be recognised we’ve gone through as much oppression and discrimination as the LGBTQ community, people of colour and the disabled community.

ok i know everyone has done similar versions of this poll already but i just like doing polls with my own options lol so humor me. sorry there is not room for an other button!! if you have a different fav not listed just pick one of these that's your second fav and add your fav in the tags/comments 💖

also to be clear i don't mean to highlight or prioritize any specific versions of the initialism i just have limited options in polls lol and i have all the other things i want to have available as well. there are so many possible versions and iterations i simply have to limit it. i am super curious what your favorite or what your preference is! do you use the +? do you add Q or spell it out? which letters specifically do you use? do you use one T or two? what does A stand for for you? what does Q stand for? what is the plus for? do you use a U? H? 2? what order do you put the letters?

is your fave something else? have you come up with a fun or unique or uncommon term or phrase? what do you like to use?

share in the comments n tags!

Plant(er) pan

A term for a person who is pan(sexual, romantic ect…) and who; is a plant, has a connection to plants, and/or likes plants in any way!

[ao3-mha-gremlin]

Everyone is valid!

Also wtf is wrong with people who think aro/ace people aren't parts of the LGBTQ2IA+ community the A at the end literally stands for aromantic/aroace I'm not completely sure though but remember every Flippin one if you is valid (except ped0s and z00s)

I wasn't entirely pleased with the way I originally did this, so I started over from scratch!

Top, skirt, stockings, gloves, eyepatch, and bow. As a bonus, some of the pink shades are PERFECT for Vaggie's pilot outfit (which I am also making pride recolors of)

The top, skirt, gloves, and eyepatch all have multiple flag variants in addition to all of the color options.

Huge shout out to @moralleets as always, all of this is just recolors of their work!

I’m going to start using LGBTQ2SIA+ exclusively. (I might change the ordering but still) I suggest other people do the same Two Spirit people are being MURDERED, the least we can do is acknowledge them more prominently.

[cosmicpsychosis]

I would like to say thank you to all of the ace idiots out there, you are truly a blessing and i am honored to be around the community, i know 3+ ace people and am on the ace spectrum. We are fucking dumb and should be appreciated.

Juliana haters need to chill. Like ya'll hate her for being jealous of Kitty and being mad at Kitty and Yuri when they kissed. She had EVERY right to be jealous of Kitty. She knew Kitty liked Yuri. It's not like she was jealous of every single girl who talked to Yuri it was just Kitty. But like when she said Kitty ruined her life, calm down. Just because you can't live with your girlfriend doesn’t mean you're gonna die. Chill. And as angry I was at Juliana for not hearing Kitty out when she tried to talk to her, I did understand her because wouldn't you have done the same? If you found out your partner kissed someone else would you just be chill? Probs not, so stop hating on Juliana. I honestly love her, she's so iconic. The Praveena hate also needs to stop. There isn't as much Praveena hate as Juliana hate but I feel like it still needs to be addressed. Like Praveena had every right to be mad at Kitty because Kitty told her COUNTLESS times that she was over Yuri and then went and cheated on her. STOP HATING ON MY LESBIANS FOR THEIR VERY VALID REACTIONS. Also just saying they're both so iconic. Leave my iconic lesbians alone. Also they mad cute together.<3
