#Alok Vaid Menon

Here’s some non binary representation !!💛🤍💜🖤

[mintlimeginger]

"Coming out isn’t just about gender and sexuality, it’s about giving birth to yourself on your own terms. Most people don’t know who they are outside of what they’ve been told they should be. Part of growing up is that we question the scripts we were assigned by our families and our societies and we make the courageous act to give birth to ourselves — to come out as ourselves. This act of self-creation is something that trans and gender non-conforming people continually template for the world. And invite everyone to it: that sacred ceremony of becoming."

~ALOK 🔥🔥🔥

One of my social work profs played a video for the class of Alok “little girls are kinky” Vaid-Menon talking about how when it comes to trans rites, “it’s not about comprehension - it’s about compassion.” she acted like this was so fkn deep when the guy literally just said “be nice & trust me bro.” Then she strongly recommended we check out more of his content.

I didn’t say anything at the time but I’m fuckin tired of this shit. I’m not busting my ass paying for this degree to have instagram reels of online gendies presented as academic gospel. I want to raise this critique & Alok’s disgusting statements to the prof but I have to be really careful abt it. Getting labelled a TERF in social work would fuck my career before it’s even gotten off the ground. I knew going in that TQ+ rhetoric was the order of the day but between the daily pronoun sharing & the Q word appearing in literally every syllabus I feel like I’m losing my mind.

Is there a polite way to say “hey, you showed a video of a guy who’s made pedophilic statements saying that we don’t need to understand gender ideology, we just need to accept it. this doesn’t seem academically rigorous” without getting blacklisted by this prof?

TIGERRS is celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month by highlighting an outstanding member of the GNC and Asian American communities!

Born to immigrant parents from Malaysia and India, Alok Vaid-Menon (ALOK) is a gender non-conforming poet, comedian, public speaker, and actor. They have made a name for themselves as an artist and an activist, sharing their work and their experiences with the world. They have received global recognition for their literary works Beyond the Gender Binary, Femme in Public, and Your Wound, My Garden. Their acting credits include roles in Complicated Order, HBO Max’s SORT OF, and upcoming film Absolute Dominion. They were also the subject of the Sundance Film Festival docu-short ALOK executive produced by Jodie Foster. For their work and contributions, they have received the ACLU of Southern California Bill of Rights Award and the Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment Trailblazer Award.

(text used in the background of the graphic comes from Alok’s blog:

“I would rather be a soul than a body. I would rather be fluid than frozen. This is why I share when I am hurting. Because I am alive. And it is terrifying and brilliant. It is the most profound argument for love I have ever known.

How ironic that they think my queerness is what made me want to die. When it is the very thing that reminds me why I live.”)

hi! im recommending the book "beyond the gender binary" by alok vaid-menon. theyre an indian-american author and their book is really good about deconstructing the gender binary!

also recommending the book "the boy and the bindi" it's a really pretty and queer children's book about a boy who wears a bindi

Oh this looks really good!!!

What an icon!!!

And the boy and the bindi is an illustrated book! Also a terrific visual

I’m so glad I took the time to watch these videos tonight. I was going to watch the Janelle Monae video anyways being a huge fangirl and all, but when I saw Alok did one too, I immediately watched it right afterwards.

I love these creative nonbinary icons so damn much for words.

Lauren's last Attunement (another one I really want to hear about) with Alok.

Awesome this Camren circle, right? I'm so glad the girls have these connections with people that can teach you a lot...

[camille09hart]

This is a reminder that Alok Vaid Menon once said little girls are kinky and deviant and compared the violent, bloody rape scene of young Regan by the demon Pazzuzu in The Exorcist to a young girl having a sexual awaking.

He is a pervert, a sexual predator and one of the leading and insidiously influential leaders of the gender cult. It pains me that so many people look up to him like a God and follow his mantras and way of life like it’s a beautiful religion.

Gender ideology is like a cancer. It’s grown more and more over the past years and it’s become a hell of a problem. It’s not a trans issue. It is a human issue. As many people, black, white, rich, poor, abled and disabled, gay, straight, cis and even trans, have opposed it and have suffered censorship, criticism and worse for their views.

Enough with the gaslighting. It’s time to start fighting back

Given what has happened this weekend in the queer community I feel it’s important to bring this up again, and not just on my fan Twitter. It is hateful comments like those I’ve seen about Alok and other queer/ gender non conforming folk that lead to incidents like what happened in Colorado.

It’s unacceptable. Hate has no place in this fandom.

Tweet Image IDs:

1. The fucking transphobia, homophobia, and racism I have seen in this fandom about Alok is disgusting and you all should be ashamed to call yourselves fans of Demi.

2. It's transphobia, plain and simple. Most of these people are also ones who only refer to Demi with she/ her pronouns as well. Like how these people can be transphobic and stan a trans person is fucking BEYOND me
