[genderqueerdykes]

equinox here! i wanted to make a masterpost for my zines! if you haven't checked them out already, we write zines about queer history with some resources and statistics within, as well as anecdotes from my 32 years being a genderqueer transsexual butch dyke. i am also intersex and speak about my experience with medical intersexism and prejudice toward androgynous and gender vague people.

if you are interested, the help would go a long way, as i deal with psoriatic arthritis, hypermobile ehlers danlos syndrome, degenerative disc disease, GI issues, schizophrenia, DID and other health issues. i'm currently applying for disability but it takes quite a while to get approved in the US. all proceeds go towards my monthly rent, bills, and necessities. thank you for your support!

Fun facts with red because some people (specifically the pinterest peeps but I'll put this there another day) don't understand the mspec:

Bisexual just means attraction to 2+ genders. That can be 2 or all. Poly, pan, and omni people could fit under bisexual if they so desired and some do identify as polybi, bipan, omnibi, etc. However, bisexual sometimes has connotations of "men and women only" and also sometimes feels too nonspecific, so many poly/omni/pan people don't identify with bisexual even though they could technically count under it and that's valid. Some bi people also could reasonably fit under poly, pan, or omni but are more familiar with the bi label/like it more/are older and feel connected to it due to it being such a historical label and that's valid as well. Some people just identify as multisexual because they feel they aren't connected to any of the main 4 mspec labels, and some people identify with an obscure mspec microlabel because they don't even think bi/pan/poly/omni are specific enough. Some people use a multitude of mspec labels because of overlap

Mspec identity discourse should never be "here are the specific distinctions these 4 are completely different and never overlap" nor should it be "these are all essentially bi and just microlabels of bi" we can and should acknowledge that there's lots of overlap with them without invalidating the people who only identify with one. We can and should acknowledge that each label does have some differences without invalidating the people who identify with more than one.

my heart goes out to every bisexual who gets told they're "just straight" or "just gay". my heart goes out to every bisexual who gets told bisexuality isn't real. my heart goes out to every bisexual who has to pick between being viewed as all gay or all straight. my heart goes out to every bisexual who has to present as gay in order to be seen as queer. my heart goes out to every bisexual gay and every bisexual lesbian who gets told their identity isn't real. my heart goes out to every trans bisexual who has their orientation invalidated because they are trans. my heart goes out to every bisexual who is demonized for being sexually active for one reason or another.

my heart goes out to every closeted bisexual. my heart goes out to every bisexual who can't come out. my heart goes out to every aro and ace bisexual who get harassed by those around them for being sexually promiscuous because of their bisexuality when they don't have sex or partners. my heart goes out to every bisexual who ever has their bisexuality called into question. my heart goes out to every bisexual who gets told to not show up to pride or queer support groups because they're "in a heterosexual relationship." my heart goes out to every bisexual who views all of their modes of attraction as queer and those around them do not respect that.

my heart goes out to every bisexual. it is a challenge to be seen correctly as bi, and to not be harassed, mocked, or belittled for it. i see you for who you are- you are allowed to define your bisexuality. someone refusing to see you as bi doesn't mean you're not. you shouldn't have to prove your bisexuality or perform it for anyone. it's not up for debate. i hope things get a bit easier for you soon. you are bisexual no matter what anyone else says

(Please do not respond to this post if you don’t support any of what I discussed. Just block me.)

Ok, so I’m going to make a post about my abrospec questing because I’m trying to explore it but am having trouble figuring out what label fits me best. And, yes, I understand that I don’t have to use any specific label, I just want to look at what’s out there.

So, usually I feel like I’m on the multispectrum, and my romantic attraction is almost always mspec in some way, like bi, pan, poly or omni, or even just multiromantic, while my sexual attraction can fluctuate into the monospec spectrum as well, and sometimes I’m mostly sapphic or mostly achillean and have a connection to the terms lesbian and veldian. Usually I feel somewhere on the aroace spectrum and never feel fully alloromantic or allosexual. I also am fluid between aspec orientations, like demiaroace, repciroace, greyroace, cupiorose, and orchidrose.

My tertiary attractions are also usually aspec, except for my aesthetic attraction. I am very much alloaesthetic. My aesthetic attraction is actually stronger than most alloaesthetics tbh. Is there a label for really strong, queer aesthetic attraction, now that I’m mentioning it? My aesthetic attraction tends to fluctuate along with my sexual attraction but feels for on the pan-bi-omni spectrum. My other attractions tend to fluctuate between different aspec orientations, between pan and omni, and between sapphic and achillean.

My attraction can also fluctuate with my gender to be queer in some way, like nblm/mlm towards men or queer wlm towards men, nblnb, and nblm/wlw or queer mlw. I tend to feel same gender attraction though, but at times it does feel like queer different gender attraction. But, my attraction is always queer in some way.

Although Alex Irvine mostly stopped giving pointless explanations in the Pacific Rim: Uprising novelization, he does occasionally give into this urge, and there's one instance where, IMO, it's pretty comical:

Where a human-piloted Jaeger typically had a window so the pilots could visually supplement their input from sensors and instruments, the Drone had a single red light that gave it the appearance of a mechanical Cyclops. The “eye” was in fact a multispectrum visual and motion sensor, located in the Drone’s “face” as a concession to human nature. Shao could have put the sensor anywhere, but she knew the Drones would be less likely to frighten ordinary people if they retained some semblance of a human aspect. (Page 59)

Like. Like the single red eye is obviously a HAL thing. This is obviously a design based on 2001: A Space Odyssey, meant to signal that these drone Jaegers were going to go rogue. Irvine could've just let it go without comment, let the subtext here speak for itself and move on, but no, he has to come up with an explanation where the answer, supposedly, is that the HAL face makes it look less creepy. Lol.

(Also, since the drone Jaegers in the actual film don't have the red HAL eyes, I'm guessing this description comes from an earlier design concept.)

i just posted about this on my twitter priv (so sorry to the like. 7 people that follow me there AND here) but last year i saw this post that was like "hi guys i made a new label for when ur sexuality to 1 gender feels both het and homo" or something like that. and i was like wow cool. because on twitter ur not allowed to use contradictory labels ever its either nonmen-loving-nonmen or nonwomen-loving-nonwomen or multispectrum identities like bi and pan and all that (i never really thought much about what the nonmen/nonwomen stuff meant for me as a monosexual girlboy at the time).

anyways i saw it i was like cool i went on with my day but later i saw this person get dogpiled really hard because like "u cant be straight and lesbian/gay at the same time!" and i was like oh ok. but now im looking back like. literally why did people get so mad $>%<#

theyre always shitting on contradictory labels and stuff which is like. whatever i guess. but when a multigendered person makes a label that isnt contradictory that accurately describes how they experience attraction they still get shit on. it makes me wonder if they really Want to include multigender monosexual people

i feel like if a multigender person. doesnt feel comfortable as Only queer or Only unlabeled or Only gay/lesbian. they just dont want them. like if ur monosexual AND u actually feel all the genders you identify as then ur just like. fuuucked. and u gotta be something you dont identify with 100%.. idk it feels like they pride themselves on being inclusive of all genders and all trans people except for the people whos genders actually effect how they perceive their attraction </3

\\ Archive Entry: Ashla-2 //

--Start of Entry--

The subject of a droid Jedi has been a matter of consideration by certain subsets of the galactic community for some time. Arguments against the concept are primarily based on a position that, because the Force is an energy field generated by living beings, droids are uniquely exempt from achieving Force-Sensitivity of any kind. While some find this outlook to be stringent or restrictive, this archivist cannot help but appreciate the logic of such a delineated standard. However, given the scope of possible phenomena in the galaxy far, far way, it would be remiss of this archivist not to offer at least some means by which a droid Jedi could, theoretically, be possible.

If genuine Force Sensitivity itself was omitted as a prerequisite, then the utilization of an enhanced articulators combined with an arm-mounted repulsor cannon and multispectrum sensor suite would be sufficient to create the form of a Jedi, if not the fact. Indeed, certain reports of a competitive arena indicate that an anolog of such a construct may in fact actually exist, though information remains quite limited.

Alternatively, a sentient lifeform that exists as some kind of organic filament network, mycelial tracery, or fine array of roots or vines, could be laced throughout a droid's chassis and bound to its operational mechanics. This does, however, beg the question of whether this counts as a proper "droid" Jedi instead of a nonhumanoid Jedi using a droid body as a mobility assist.

Finally, the existence of holocrons does offer a third avenue of exploration. These devices are specially designed to integrate kyber crystals as both power source and central processing unit, and kyber crystals have been confirmed to be Force Resonant, if not explicitly Force Sensitive. Could not a droid be built that utilizes a kyber crystal in the same way that a holocron does? Could that droid's personality matrix not then interface with the crystal's Force aura in the same way that an organic sentient communes with the Living Force?

We may never have a resolution to this theorization. Still, the prospect is intriguing, and this archivist will be vigilant for any new reports on the subject. One can only hope...

As this is an archive blog, there is not a set DNI, however I will not reblog radqueer terms.

I *will* reblog terms under these umbrellas:

Liomoqai+

M-spec mono terms (ex: m-spec gay)

"Contradictory" terms (ex: bisexual lesboy)

LGBTQIAP+ attraction terms

And any related terms/umbrellas!

I want this to be a complete archive, so I will reblog posts from coiners from all sides of discourse. Reblogging a blog's term is not symbolic of my endorsement of them.

Tagging system under cut :

Here is the tagging system (which will be most likely expanded over time!) :

#sexuality -> any sexuality / sexual attraction based term

#romantic -> any romantic based orientation

#Tertiary attraction -> any tertiary attraction terms

(Note : this section of my tags is not a comprehensive list of m-spec identities, as there are so many! These are just some of the better known ones.)

#bi -> any bi identity

Star Wars: Scavenger's Guide to Droids - CQ-3.80 multispectrum disguise suite by Jason Juta

[cipheramnesia]

"You understand, for me to perform my job adequately, ensuring the safety of everyone in your division amongst whom is yourself, it is imperative I understand the severity of the threat." Dove Witherton's desk was very well polished asphalt sealed inside a sturdy block of lucite. He imagined it as symbolic in a way. Both of his hands were clenched into white knuckled fists, tastefully framing the speakerphone.

"What I'm telling you is we don't know yet," senior toxicology expert Dr. Oliveira replied, frustratingly consistent in his inadequate report. "Our initial tests do suggest a high level of human toxicity. However we have not yet confirmed how transmissible it is. We aren't yet able to assess a point of origin - it appears to bear system adapted elements, and pre-human elements. We don't even know if it exists outside a lab."

"Well then why am I not discussing this with the xenosystems and disease control supervisors?"

"Because they're-" Dr. Oliveira paused for a moment. "I'm sure I can set an urgent meeting with them, right this moment they're arranging for critical personnel to be retasked, and monitoring the system extraction. I'm sure you agree it's critical we stay on task."

"Absolutely," Witherton snapped. "So make sure they conference with me asap!" He stabbed the disconnect button, it was unsatisfying. "Call Gale," he said, and moments later Stanton Gale's cosmopolitan, drawling accent was on the line.

"Witherton? Is this urgent? I'm a touch short staffed today. Some sort of throat thing going around."

"Going around?!" Witherton stood up. "Gale, I need you to know that the Scientific Innovation division has finished analysis of the material from Lawson's briefcase. It's an alien virus of unknown origin and I have reason to believe it is rapidly spreading throughout the Citadel." He panted a little bit, wiped spittle off his chin.

"I see. Well, of course I trust your expertise in this matter. What would you adv-"

"Full shut down! Immediate evacuation with multispectrum sterilization of the entire building. We have to ensure the safety of our key organizal personnel above all." It went without saying that Witherton included himself and Gale in the category of key personnel.

"That's no easy task, Witherton. There are protocols for this sort of situation, proper channels. Let me take it to the representative chairman first, and he can try to have a memorandum for review by say, tomorrow? Because it's urgent, you know."

"Gale, that- One moment. What is it this time, Dowers?"

"Sorry to bother you Mister Witherton, sir. Well, you're probably aware of the agitators we've been dealing with the last few days. We detained an unusual suspect, multiple warrants even, and during int-"

"Matt, you have ten seconds to find a point to this imposition before I find a way to demote you to toilet cleaner."

"Sir, there is a credible bioterroism threat, I emailed it to you an hour ago."

"You what..." Witherton depressed two buttons and merged the calls with practiced phone expertise. "Gale, Matt Dowers is here from Enforcement."

"Well, not here," said Matt. "I'm on the Enforcement floor-"

"Oh, is he?" Gale's voice fell with long suffering exhaustion.

"I'm forwarding you a file, and I think you'll find this allows us to override normal channels as a matter of security."

Witherton stared into the phone speaker, his eyes glittering. Matt coughed.

"Very well," Gale said, after five agonized minutes of Witherton's jaws clenched and teeth grinding. "I'll contact emergency services and we'll notify all personnel of the evacuation. I'll note this is proceding on your recommendationat 6."

"Finally. Thank you. Matt, see to the evacuation of Enforcement to other holding facilities." Witherton hung up without saying goodbye. In a few more minutes evacuation was announced with soft chimes, blinking yellow lights, and a gender neutral voice directing everyone to exit the building in an organized matter.

● ● ● ● ●

Matt Dowers stared at his silent com for a moment. The chimes startled him from his reverie and he took a little extra time for tidying up his desk. The evacuation wouldn't necessarily be swift, not with that many people. Meanwhile, he would need to find places to send the agitators in holding. He sighed and tapped his com against the number for the nearest jail with vacant cells.

While Matt called out, Laika opened her eyes to black plastic fabric. She could hear chimes and calls for emergency exit, so it was nice to know the song and death-rattle dance did some good. She tried to check how much time was left but discovered her whole body was enveloped. She felt around looking for some kind of edge and an unfamiliar voice said, "Hello...?"

Laika thought fuck. "Little help?" she asked.

The zipper parted in front of her face to reveal a short, thick woman in a white labcoat and scrubs, with her hair pinned back and a half a sandwich in one hand. Laika sat up out of the bodybag, looked around the morgue, then back at the coroner. "Uh," she said to the shocked woman. "Well it said for everyone to leave the building."

The woman nodded, backing away.

"Hang on, wait. Are you gonna eat that?"

She silently offered the sandwich, and Laika more or less literally wolfed it down in two bites. "Ugh. Steelback salad? Really? Okay. Where are my clothes?"

"Um, I don't know?" the coroner replied. "Evidence maybe? How did you die?"

Laika shoved the bodybag off her legs like a tight pair of jeans. "Aren't you- Isn't that like your entire job?" She hopped off the table, saw they hadn't even left the suppression bands on.

The corner just spread her arms out helplessly and shook her head.

"Nevermind, I'll ask around. You should probably go. Because, uh, the evacuation and stuff." Laika admired that the coroner didn't run until she was out of the door, and then began to grow and heat up, fangs coming in, fur and breasts filling out, as she made her way deeper into the Enforcement offices.

Around the time Matt was on his sixth exhausted call to jails that didn't seem to know why he was calling, who didn't want to know or care or send busses and guards out on an hour or two drive, Laika reached his desk and stradled his shoulders with a single clawed hand. He certainly would have liked to scream, but in those moments of silence while his muscles fixed themselves in a less convincing approximation of death than Laika's more professionally induced state her jaws and her hot breath caressed his ears and said, "Don't scream." So he didn't even when he thought he could. Her teeth looked half the size of his head this close, and saliva glistened along her black lips when she spoke.

"Would you look at the time," she said. "I had a bet... well." Her lips pulled back, and back, and Matt had the particularly sickening realization that she was not readying to eat him alive, but smiling. "I'm so glad I caught you before you left. I'm going to need you to look up some archived records and we need your security password to get them." She yanked a couple drawers open at his desk and rummaged around til she found a cheap stone drive. "Perfect. Now sync to your archives, I'll tell you what records I want."

As he clicked around and typed in passwords Laika chuckled deeply. "I really can't believe how mucn time you left. Of all the long shots."

Part 7: The Tower

a story by @rox-and-prose and @cipheramnesia

Dusk turned the Nevamil sky a flat aquamarine, and made visible the red lights blinking atop the Citadel. It was the tallest building in the capital city, Aureodar, even visible from the far off gridded streets of old houses converted into apartments. The last time Laika had seen it was a field trip for school.

The little blue Kirov was somewhere between the mountains and Genghis Khan and the most anonymous hopper port they'd been able to find in Aureodar. She worried about Sy, seemed ages past she'd been this physically far, though it was hardly more than weeks. Wires and talismans crossed over the streets, bikes and busses swooshed wet pavement, and linecars screeched overhead, all wrapped around her and her backpack and familiar unknown faces of the United Eastquad Block.

Ghosts gathered around her, whispering. You keep coming back here little wolf girl, you'll never get away from this place. Little wolf girl, you know you belong here. Freak. Queer. Sissy. Killer. Monster. You thought you were better than us, you never were. Laika let them needle and claw her. They were her ghosts, not the other way round. Every horrible word only built her up. Luna was with her in that way.

Most of the houses on K Street were mods, from early to late first century post-terraform. They were all retrofited from the original single family modules, but they were tough as nails, old construction built to weather thr storms of atmosphere generation. Number 1132 was where she was headed, lights were still on in the third floor windows.

Laika took a last look around on the front door's stoop. The poles for street lights and warden ropes all had at least three CCTV cameras and arrayed parabolic empathy receivers tuned into psychic conflict between morality and legality. She flashed a tight little smile at the familiar old glass eye of the state before pulling a short crowbar out of her bag and cracking the door open.

The third floor smelled of some sharp, fragrant allium along with sweet woody flavors and cooking meat, enough to rouse her stomach. Deep breath, ignore the ghosts, knock. A woman with her black hair in a bob cut, rolled up sleeves on her billowy dress, a little sweaty and confused, almost a quarter meter shorter than Laika. A wave of gaming sounds, net music, and oven warmth joined them both on the landing.

"Hey Tara," Laika said.

The other woman looked closer. "Laika? Oh tides, it is!" She wrapped Laika up in a big soft hug inside thick arms, crushing her stick body. "I thought you, I don't know, I thought you were dead! I mean, there were rumors?"

"Uff! Uh, hey. Sorry to be like, unannounced. Is it okay if I come in?" Laika hesitantly patted Tara's shoulders until the hug relaxed and her feet were back on the floor.

"You just have to, please. I'm sorry, when did you get back, why didn't you call?"

Unlacing her boots and slipping them off, she said, "I just got back today, um. I've been a bit off the net you know." She dipped her hand in the tiny basin by the door and thumbed a drop of water on the polished river stone at the altar. "But I wanted to see how you'd been, I guess. It just, well it's weird. That smells amazing."

She saw a couple kids blasting through uncreatively humanoid aliens, loudly and luridly across the living room screen, followed Tara into the kitchen and dinette area and watched her stir around sizzling veggies and meat in a wide dish. "Thanks," Tara said. "The spawn over there don't always appreciate it, but you know how... well, how kids can be..." Tara frowned awkwardly.

"Yeah, uh. Yeah." Laika rubbed the back of her neck. "So what all have you heard?"

Tara stuttered with a little embarassment. In the distance Laika could very faintly hear sirens, but she knew they weren't for her. The people who would come for her didn't use sirens or advertise their presence.

Half paying attention to Tara, she added, "Well, uh, some is true. But... you knew it was bad at home. Stuff happened. What about you though? Like, two kids? Wow!"

Tara probably was relieved at the change of topic, and Laika was glad to take a minute, but she couldn't focus all the way. She was waiting.
