#Alok Vaid Menon

ALOK with some profound words for you all in these trying times.

"The poetry and the beauty of a they/them pronoun is it says, 'I am both singular and plural at the same time.'"

Reminder that we are a social animal. We are here for each other and can never be truly alone.

And all of us? We contain 𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘴.

To all those who need to hear it.

-Alok Vaid-Menon via @ alokvmenon (tiktok)

A world without transgender, intersex, queer and nonbinary people has never existed and will never exist.

We exist. We love. We thrive. We raise families. We pay taxes. We lament tragedy. We celebrate. We worship. We fuck. We fight. We simply are.

Don't let them tell you any different. We are both singular and plural at the same time.

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.”)
