Thoughts on Lilly Bushnell, LillyAnarKitty

I haven’t seen anything about Bushnell’s sexuality in their social media history. Therefore I have not speculated anything about their sexuality.

NOTE: Sexuality and Gender Identity are two very different things!

On the other hand, we have seen a history of commenting about trans topics, and regardless of what their identity was. Nobody can say for 100% certain, but I do believe that “LillyAnarKitty” meant something significant to Bushnell.

I could absolutely understand not coming out and/or self-identifying as cis, especially when she/he made such massive sacrifice to make the world fight for a Free Palestine. And as I trans person, I know if I had done the same thing it wouldn’t have had the same resonance because of my gender identity.

A trans woman self-immolated last year (2023), yet she’s barely even been mentioned. We don’t even know her name. And I think Aaron was well aware of the silencing and disregard that would’ve followed had they done this as Lilly.

Do you think maybe, just maybe, a potentially closeted-queer person intending to do the same would consider that and decide to just say they were cis so the word could be spread — without the transmisogyny attached?

Other individuals that have interacted with Aaron online in servers prior to her passing have also stated that she had been introduced to them as “Lilly” and requested to be referred to by (she/he) pronouns. (Source)

opinions on queer people

What... is that?

How the hell am I supposed to figure out my sexuality if I don't know how and where to meet people especially my kind of people? Like I could never pull off a date because I barely leave the house if I don't have to or have plans to hang out with just my friends. So how could I ever do it?

Honestly I was like

Hmm. I'm trans? Maybe? Probably?

But then my partner of 8 years accepted me without reservation and supported me and my favorite uncle bought me a binder

And now I'm like

"Christ alive, I'm a fucking man."

And to be frank, Nathan Foad had a lot to do with this.

Also, if any out trans folk have advice, i may need some. I'm not hiding who I am, but I've not "come out" or directly told anyone. If anyone has the emotional bandwidth to talk for a few minutes, I'd love to ask a few questions and I'd hope to be able to be queer in a way that's just me, rather than me being defensive right off the bat.

Internet sexuality quizzes be like:

Are you homosexual?

yes

no

[legittriplecrit]

Fuck guess I'm queer now?

After talking about it with my girlfriend and friends, I'm like 70% sure I'm romantic ace. Identifying are queer for me feels weird though, maybe I should refer to myself queer-lite, or diet-queer.

“If you have time to watch Netflix you have time for a side hustle” my side hustle is relaxing so that my body and brain can heal from by this nose-to-the-grindstone bullshit. I refuse to feel guilty for being a human with the need to relax sometimes. my side hustle is no.

"homosexuality is unnatural! there's only two genders! it's a sin-"

I'm sorry, have you seen NATURE???

ALSO THE ARTIST IS HUMON, FIND THEM AT HUMONCOMICS.COM!! was so sure I had included that but apparently I forgot, so sorry!

and there's so many more species than this that exhibit homosexuality, varying genders, etc. SO! MANY!

it's very much a natural thing. it always has been. unfortunately, while homosexuality is found in many species, homophobia is only found in one
