this is a safe space for 'unusual' and 'weird' pronouns, for cis and trans men who use she/her, for cis and trans women who use he/him, for nb people who don't use they/them, for neopronouns, including the 'cringe' ones, for gender nonconforming pronouns, for pronouns that scream queer and gender fuckery. you're wanted here

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:

TRANNY FLAG ♾️

(requested by @lovelesstranniedykefaggot)

Black: in memoriam of the trans people whose lives were claimed by hatred. Dark blue: the joy of finally discovering your true self Magenta: making the choice to accept yourself no matter what, even if it means losing loved ones Light blue: borrowed from the blue stripes in the transgender flag. Pink: borrowed from the pink stripes in the transgender flag. White (stripe only): borrowed from the white stripes in the transgender, genderqueer, and nonbinary flags.

The ouroboros, a snake that eats its own tail for all eternity, represents two things: the never-ending cycle of self-discovery we all experience as we learn and grow, and our inability — our refusal — to be stamped out of existence. It is scientifically impossible to eradicate us, no matter how hard some people will try.

Its single fang is a reminder that, whether we're fighting against dysphoria, fascism, or harmful myths about ourselves, we're not helpless to defend ourselves.

The stripes of this flag are warped and glitched out — by the ouroboros, as it slices through the white center — to symbolize the way we inherently challenge gender norms and society's expectations, pulling them apart at the seams and turning them back into thread, which we can weave a new tapestry with together. Before we can build a better foundation, we have to break free from the institutional restrictions that hold us back.

transphobes touch this and die instantly

Radically Queer

[PT: Radically Queer / END PT]

A reclaimed term from rad/queers that explains non-radqueers beliefs in identity, which can be seen as radical or "out there" to some. Some of these ideas are under the cut.

Coined by me, reclaimed from rad/queer fuckers. This is not for you.

[PT: Pinterest Archive Post (link) / END PT]

Some of radically queer's stances are:

Supports transID unless they are bigoted, harmful, or hateful.

Supporting individuals with paraphillias and believe that there are ways for them to safely and healthily interact with others.

Supports all kinds of contradictory and good-faith labels.

Is inclusive and doesn't exclude any identity unless it's genuinely harming others or is hateful.

Other stances are up to the user, so long as they aren't hateful, bigoted-based, or harmful to others.

Holy shit, Target is actually selling a shirt that says "queers take care of each other." We are three years out from them putting "FAG" on a sweater.

[i-like-your-nolaces]

i can't believe i have to say this, but if you use the term "theyfab" to derisively dismiss AFAB nonbinary people and transmascs as somehow transmisogynistic, then you're kind of a piece of shit and i as a trans woman want nothing to do with you
