[Image description: An edited meme depicting a minimalist-style man and woman with their two children, holding hands and looking at a series of rainbow stripes. The man says, "I love attending Pride and seeing all the giant rainbow flags!" The woman replies, "It's so sexy of us to be bisexual!" Their children chorus, "Happy Pride, Mom and Dad!"]

The Marina scene from 7x03 but with the lights on and a dose of nostalgia as background music. Just the DeLuca-Bishop family, together, in this beautiful mess of a changing world. (x)

I hope the trans woman who came into my work in a fabulous outfit is still having a lovely day. I hope she knows how much she sparkled when I complimented her outfit and she lit up like the sun and said thank you with her whole body. I hope she continues to feel gender euphoria and more people compliment her to multiply it. I hope all other trans women know how beautiful I think you are regardless of your presentation and that the giddiness in the hearts of other queers when we see you is real.

In loving memory of Castiel's wives

Thinking about how Cas is still technically married to Daphne while still "wearing" Jimmy Novak's vessel, thus sorta being AND not being Claire's father, but ALSO he's Jake's adopted father while ALSO being in an open but closeted queer relationship with Dean Winchester, but then he's also co-parenting Jake with Sam Winchester while also openly flirting with Rowena, but ALSO going undercover with his ex-lover Crowley who's also Dean's ex, while also getting married to the Djinn Queen, but also...

THIS FUCKING ANGEL OF THE LORD HAS THEM ALL ON THEIR KNEES. #angelfatale

Conservatives hate Queer people not just because we are less likely to produce children- but when we do, we produce the "wrong kind" of children.

All Conservative Ideology is fundamentally Eugenicist- viewing all people as "Breeding Stock", thinking that "good" people can be bred like livestock. They dehumanize everyone- especially children- because we have become Products not people.

This is why Eugenicists so vehemently appose Individual Abortion Rights- Reproductive Bodily Autonomy is the ultimate sin under Eugenics. The choice is not the parent's but the State's.

Queer children- like Queer parents- are an "evil" in the eyes of a Eugenicist, because they will not be made "Stock" for their project of making "perfect" people.

This why Conservatives want to control- especially- the Bodies of Trans and Intersex children.

Okay so the other day I had a conversation about amatonormativity with my mom and I told her about my queer platonic partners and explained it to her and she understood and she was happy for me and them and it was just such a cathartic moment because like I know my mom is super open minded and wouldn’t be weird about this sort of thing (she already knew I’m lesbian and a demigirl) but just putting words on what I feel for these two people and her recognising the type of love that we share was so so beautiful and I wanted to share that story :) so yeah my mom rules

Queer family is me and my husband who met at our school's LGBTQIA+ Alliance in college.

Queer family is my boyfriend who got ordained so he could officiate his partners' wedding.

Queer family is our household, which consists of three people who are in love with each other and building a life together with two dogs and two cats.

Queer family is my friend and former lover taking a week off graduate school in Australia and flying across the world twice in one week so she could be at our wedding in person.

Queer family is setting aside a bedroom for our asexual friend to make it clear she will always have a space in our home.

Queer family is our fridge stocked with soy milk and vegan butter because one of our friends is allergic to dairy.

Queer family is my biological siblings who are also queer and who thankfully had a much easier time coming out than I did.

Queer family is planning a baby shower for my nonbinary friend to help them pay for baby clothes, cribs, diapers, etc.

Queer family is the homes and communities we build for ourselves and each other.

Queer family is the ancestors who went before, who dedicated their lives to building a future where I could safely live as an openly queer person.

Queer family is the children I will help raise, whether I'm their parent or not, who will hopefully live in a more accepting world than I do.

Queer family is the descendants I will never meet, who will experience gender and sexuality in ways I can't even imagine.

Queer family is strong.

Queer family is powerful.

Queer family is beautiful.

Minnie Bruce Pratt, an acclaimed poet, essayist, and activist who wrote, among other things, about losing custody of her children when she came out as a lesbian, died on July 4 of an aggressive brain tumor at age 76. Read on for more about her life and her experience of lesbian motherhood.

seeing your addition to that post about kids gendering you correctly, seeing how it says "my kid" made me so happy. I'm so glad there's a generation of kids growing up with moms like you 💛🫶🏼

OMG This was such a sweet surprise in my inbox! Thank you!

This is precisely why I share lil anecdotes from my parenting adventures. So other trans folks, especially the youngins' out there, can see examples of transsexual motherhood. I've met a few other trans moms but we're, at least anecdotally it seems, a rarity. All of the trans moms I know share the same complaint: there are literally ZERO examples of trans motherhood to follow. Sure there's lots of examples of Cis motherhood that are nonetheless helpful, and lots of good parenting books/philosophies out there like "123 Magic" and "Baby lead weaning," (the closest book I have on trans parenthood is "The Argonauts" which I highly recommend reading) but we trans moms have all had to create the meaning of trans motherhood whole cloth out of nothing.

Part of that is because for too long in the medical world it was believed that not only we couldn't have kids, but that we shouldn't even if we could. For too long we've been treated as unfit mothers. However, I think actually the opposite is true. I think we make exceptional mothers. I got on HRT about a month into the second trimester of my wife's pregnancy. In other words, I became a woman and a mother at the same time, so to speak. My sense of womanhood is inextricable from my motherhood, and ultimately I think that makes me very good at the job. Mothering my child, seeing them thrive on my love while developing into a lil person with a kind and generous heart, fills my cup and I thrive in turn. The positive feedback of good mothering is it's own potent kind of gender affirmation. It's also so healing, knowing that my child can freely explore their own gender without anyone getting in the way because I will be there to protect them. And at the end of the day, no matter what any transphobe out there thinks, my kid has always known me as their mom, and everytime my lil one says "I love you Mama!" I am reminded that no one can ever take that away from me.

So thank you dear for your kind words 🫶
