My brother, Austin, has been diagnosed with stage 4 cervical cancer.

Please donate to his support fund!

I'd really appreciate if you donated to help a trans black Latino fighting a serious diagnosis.

My brother has been the most positive influence on my life!

Were it not for my brother I would not be the Cristaly/shrekfucker/bowserfucker/Nintendette you know today at all!

He introduced me to video games and anime, like many older siblings have. His laughter is contagious. And so is his sense of humor! I got my love for comedy, pranks and being mischievous from him.

He taught me how to have fun, which I needed as an uptight elementary school student. My fondest childhood memories are the summers we spent together playing pretend about Inuyasha and super smash brothers.

He is also very brave and resilient! He set off on his own super young and funded his own transition. Seeing him work so hard to be independent definitely influenced me positively. And having an older queer trans sibling helped give me the courage to explore my sexuality and meet my wife!

I can text him about anything and he was a huge support for my wife during her transition.

He means a lot to me and to so many other people.

Thanks for reading :)

Self Love

Loving yourself inside and out is something no one can take from you but you

Wondering how the word gypsy is a racial slur? Why are you referring to it as the G word when it literally means a free spirited traveller. What is so offensive about that?

Let me tell you a story, ignorant one. 

Once upon a time, there were a group of people migrating from northern India and Pakistan after the invasion “of the Persian Muslims who have since settled in Trukey, all of Europe, and the Americas These people are called the Rromani.” (x)

Once the pale bird feces people of Europe came into contact with the Rromani, they believed them to hail from Egypt, thus calling them Gypsies. 

Now about what disgusting white people like you have been trying to turn this racial slur into. There is nothing about being a free spirited traveller if you’re called such a word. What is up with white people romanticizing everything to make it seem all nice and rainbows for them?

“They were not nomadic by choice. They moved around because they had to… they were persecuted everywhere they went, and still are, to this day. They were persecuted alongside the Jews in the Holocaust – the Roma & Sinti”. They were forced to have this sort of nomadic lifestyle because “no country wanted them there”. (x)

Let’s not forget these lovely things Rromani people did and still go through because of who they are:

“Forced sterilization (yes, it is still happening)

Eviction

Harassment (by law enforcement as well as civilians)

Fingerprinting (this is happening in Italy right now – all Romani people are being fingerprinted, simply because our race is considered ‘criminal’)

Concentration camps

Starvation

Exclusion from public schools and welfare programs

Bombings (it is not uncommon in places like the Czech Republic for people to throw molotov cocktails into the windows of Romani homes)” (x)

“First and foremost: THE WORD “GYPSY” IS AN ETHNIC SLUR. It is a pejorative. It is an exonym that is hurtful and offensive. You need to accept this, period.

We are NOT your halloween costume. We are NOT your flowy skirt. We are NOT your fashion sense. We are NOT your wanderlust. We are NOT ‘boho.’

Gypsy is not fashion. Gypsy is not traveling. Gypsy is not a headband or a costume, or boho, or a long skirt.

Gypsy is a hurtful ethnic slur used to refer to the Romani people.

We cannot seem to emphasize this enough to people. This word is a slur. It was created to be a slur. Its meaning does not change. It will always be a slur. It will always be offensive.

‘The word is not yours. It’s ours. We can use it as we see fit. You cannot.’ - biggadjeworld 

We are a real people, with traditions, culture, and colorful heritage that spans centuries.” (x)

The “x”s in the post refer to sources you can click on and educate yourself with. On those pages, there are more links to become familiar to this slur and the Rromani people.

Also, don’t forget to stop by thisisnotromani!

10 Horrifying Facts About The Sexual Exploitation of Enslaved Black Women You May Not Know.

1. Owners of enslaved people claimed they were doing Black women a favor by having sex with them.

2. Enslaved women known as “Mammies” did more than cook and clean, they were often expected to be extremely affectionate to their masters.

3. “Mammy” women were usually dressed to be a representation of their master’s wealth.

4.  Enslaved women known as “Jezebels” were sometimes raped and then accused of being promiscuous.

5. Owners of enslaved women usually took no responsibility or ownership of the babies they had with these women.

6. Mistresses often beat enslaved women for having sex with their husbands while the husband was never held accountable.

7. Slave owners often impregnated enslaved women on purpose so they could have more workers in the field.

8. Enslaved Black males were often forced to have sex with enslaved Black women to impregnate them.

9. The sexual exploitation of enslaved women has led to the creation of Jezebel stereotypes in mainstream media.

10. The Mammy stereotype is also perpetuated throughout mainstream media today.

That’s where all stereotypes came from…

The American history often keeps silent about facts that actually matter a lot.

We can just imagine the horror millions of slaves endured these times. Even the idea that slave owners forced Black people to breed like animals is dreadful and inhuman.

However, Black women are STILL sexualized in this way throughout the media. And this is unacceptable!

They say to GET OVER IT?

No f*cking way.
