The thing about being LGBT+ is, at some point in your childhood, no matter how accepting your parents are, at some point, you have to question: “do they love me unconditionally?” And then you have to plan for the possibility hat the answer is no. And that fucks you up. Straight cis people never have to question that.

WE NEED TO START TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT BIGENDERISM

[textk4kira]

Happy pride to the A's of lgbtqia!

To the asexuals

Aromantics

Agenders

You are just as loved here

not only is it pride month, but it is also mens mental health awareness month

take the time to check in with the trans men, nonbinary men, intersex men, queer men, disabled men, and men of color that you know

let them know that you support them

Newsflash:

If they don't respect enben, they don't respect any trans people.

If they refuse to respect they/them and other atypical pronouns, they are barely tolerating your typical set.

If they mock nonbinary, genderqueer and GNC presentation, they think your binary trans presentation is a joke.

If they make jokes about nonbinary people, they see your binary transness as a joke.

If they test the waters with exorsexism, they will escalate to binary transphobia.

If they throw enben under the bus, they will throw you under it next.

If they do not stand up for nonbinary rights, they won't care when yours are gone.

If they refuse to acknowledge exorsexism used as a test of what they can get away with, they will not acknowledge the inevitable binary transphobia incoming.

If they allow exorsexist and binarist bills to become law, they will not prevent it when it happens to binary trans people.

If they talk at length about how they hate nonbinary people, they have found a safe outlet to express their transphobia around you.

If they do not respect nonbinary transness, they do not respect your binary transness.

-deep breath-

A 'no questions asked' food pantry means no questions asked.

When we're stocking our pantry, we are not looking at a person's clothes or their accessories or what kind of car they drove there in. We are HAPPY to see it BEING USED AT ALL.

I don't know anyone's situation. Maybe they got that designer bag at a thrift shop. Maybe its a knockoff. Maybe it was a gift. Maybe they got it when they had money and now they don't have money. Maybe they're getting stuff for a friend.

Maybe they have plenty of money, don't need to be taking stuff from the pantry, but they are anyway because we said-

NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

Do you know what happens when someone takes from our pantry when they don't need it? We're down one item. But maybe they tell someone that the pantry is there. Or maybe they come back to it when they need it. Or maybe they throw a dollar in the donation box. Or maybe they put an item on the shelf. Or maybe they come to our food drive.

WE DONT CARE.

We don't care who used it.

We care that it was used.

Im not a cop. Don't make me do cop stuff, I wont do it.

whatever whatever the “dopamine addiction” industry is lying to you the point of life is to have as broad a range of pleasures as you can. the problem with dependency is not that it’s evil to be dependent on something, it’s that it can be unhealthy to rely completely on a singular source of happiness/pleasure/escape. this does not make the desire to escape inherently evil or some kind of inherent weakness. you are not addicted to dopamine you have a habit of relying on one thing for all your needs and that is a habit you can change slowly over time without complete ‘abstinence’ so to speak. and comparing any of this to a substance addiction is unhelpful + unhealthy + will get your local addict (me) to kick you in the shins very hard

White trans men stop telling me how I'm opressed for being trans not a man. My black ass dont care what you think, your understanding of opression is shallow and white and i dont want to hear it anymore. I am not gonna seperate my identity into little parts and sort them into the "opressed" and "not opressed" boxes, bc that's straight up just not how it works.

If you're a white trans man maybe consider that your views on privilege may still be skewed twards whiteness and be a little more tactful when you decided tell all trans men who their opression works

Reminder that you don't have to call yourself AMAB or AFAB. You don't have to say "I'm AFAB nonbinary." Saying "I'm nonbinary" is enough. You don't need to identify with what you were assigned as by some doctor however many years ago. Mentioning your ASAB is scarcely relevant to most conversations, even those about medical transitioning.

Nonbinary is enough, you don't have to supplement it with a binary system of any kind. It doesn't matter how many people want to know your "transition direction." It doesn't matter how many people want to know what your genitals are (which wouldn't be alluded to by your assigned sex anyway). It doesn't matter how many people what to binarise you. It doesn't matter how many binary people you confuse. No one needs to binarise you. Nonbinary. Is. Enough.

side note: the queer community is, by nature, full of people with hard to word and messy experiences. everyone can do whatever they want and people with unusual orientations, genders, and presentations are not the reason bigotry exists in the world. do whatever, love whomever, shape your life to suit your needs, beat language bloody to make room for yourself, your siblings are not the enemy and the only way we're all gonna make it is with compassion for those who are more like us than not.

An an intersex nonbinary person i am constantly pissed off about the new ways there are to separate people by their genitals. How long would you have to talk to a "TME/TMA" defender until they say TME means AFAB.

this is exorsexism.

probably 5 seconds. they're really not hiding it well.

Both oversexualization and desexualization of people of certain identities are rooted in taking away agency and autonomy of the people they're directed at. You are allowed to be as sexual or non-sexual as you want, and so long as you are making that choice you are not playing into either of these.
