The first Nonbinary Awareness Week takes place from July 12th to July 18th 2020. July 14th is International Nonbinary People's Day.

(Image description: a square image with a dark green background, small white text reads "July 12th - July 18th" above larger white text that reads "Celebrate Nonbinary Awareness Week", there is more small text below that says "Celebrating gender diversity and the resilience of the nonbinary community". There is a clipart image of a brown skinned hand with purple painted nails holding a small genderqueer flag in the bottom right corner.)

what i wouldn't give to be snuggled up on a couch with a handsome boy watching movies into the wee hours of the morning

[forest-xblm]

it bears repeating:

if there are any cuties out there i am litcherally free to do whatever i have no other obligations hit me ALL THE WAY UP babes

[forest-xblm]

if im a fem-aligned/leaning exby that likes video games do i get to call myself a gamer girl and if so how do i acquire a (decent) bf that finds that attractive

[forest-xblm]

i'm pretty sure if a cute boy made me a playlist full of love songs i would kiss him on reflex (WITH permission ofc!)

catch me standing on the bow of a pirate ship wistfully singing shanties with the crew as i stare into the middle distance wishing for a boy to tell me he loves me

i'm not usually one to write super fancy thoughtful positivity posts or anything like that but as a transfem/fem-leaning/sometimes-fem-aligned xb person that frequents the nblm/xblm tag, i just wanna say:

if you are a fem-leaning or fem-aligned nonbinary person who is attracted to men (solely or not), you are immensely powerful and my heart is full of love and respect for my xblm sisters and sibs.

navigating attraction as a feminine xblm can be *super intimidating* and confusing and alienating because we don't cleanly fit into the mlm/nblnb/wlw scenes, and i am so profoundly proud of us for managing to be ourselves in spite of it.

the same goes double for specifically-transfem xblm. it can be hard to feel like we belong on one side of the gay/straight fence or another when we are so much more than either world would ever tell us we are.

just because we're too far removed from the binary to meet "acceptable" visions of what gay or straight relationships look like does not mean we are undeserving of love and healthy affection like everybody else, and i am fiercely dedicated to making sure that every single one of us knows that.

we are not undeserving on account of our differences. we are not undeserving simply because we do not cleanly fit into the lines of "gay" or "straight". we are not undeserving or predatory or wrong for our attraction to people within the binary while we ourselves exist outside of it. we are not undeserving on account of being unsure of ourselves, even just for a little while.

and honestly, while i'm not going to retype everything with the words flipped, transmasc xblw face really similar struggles and you folks deserve the recognition for your efforts to be yourselves, too. you are seen and heard and loved.

our hearts are tempered with a special kind of radiance; one that will not easily be put out just because nobody right now loves us the way we want to be loved. we were born into a binaristic world, we tore ourselves free of its ability to hold us back, and we are not to be ashamed of ourselves for loving the people that feel like that binary is where they belong.

and we don't owe anyone anything except for owing love to ourselves, and choosing to love those who love us back.

TLDR: transfem nblm/xblm are awesome. transmasc nblw/xblw are too. we rock. i love y'all.

tr*sc*m don't breathe on this post or you owe me 500 USD

[forest-xblm]

whisk me into a corner at a party just to press me to the wall, kiss me out of sight, tell me you love me, then take my hand and we'll go right back into the mix with everyone else feeling like that fleet moment of warmth between us lasted an hour

Rb if you’re a stupid gay and want other gays to send in asks and interact

[forest-xblm]
