#Queer joy

[destroy-the-binary]

I’m getting my first binder next week! I’m not out to most of my friends, but I can finally get a binder, and I’m really excited. I feel like my dysphoria on bad days will finally get better, (I’m genderfluid) and I’m really hopeful. 😊

The world is scary right now. I think it would be nice if every trans person who encounters this post reblogs with something good that is going on in their life. It does not have to be related to being trans. It also doesn't have to stay in the tags.

I'll start. I'm starting testosterone soon! I already have my prescription for it, but I'm going to have a few more conversations with my parents before I start. I'm really excited! Every time I see myself in the mirror, I imagine the beginnings of a beard on my face, and I start beaming.

Queer culture is giving yourself bangs at midnight while listening to mother mother and wearing a handmaid bead bracelet that says "tranny" in Morse code with the trans colors and then posting about it on tumblr.com

I have found the best ally

Straight and cis people will say that they are allies, but you will NEVER measure up to my dentist.

Me: "Hey, is it ok if I can change my name on my info from [DEADNAME] to Aspen?"

Random woman that I wasn't even talking to in the chair next to me: "Honey, if that's the name you had at birth, [DEADNAME] is your only name."

My dentist, very slowly turning her rolley chair towards the woman: "Shush."

Random woman: "Excuse me?"

Destist: *closes privacy curtain while staring bullets at the lady*

Me: *pissing myself laughing*

My dentist while changing my name in my info (reminder that English is not her first language, she immigrated from Russia): "There, Aspen, you have pretty boy teeth. Smile and make all girls swoon."

Me not having the heart to tell her I'm not transmasc but I'm Agender, and still pissing myself laughing: "Thank you [DENTIST NAME]."

Edit: Ok, this has gotten alot of attention, but right now my other posts is what really needs attention. I have a few fundraisers for people trying to evacuate Palestine and Gaza, but also a diabetic who needs her insulin shot. Please please please, go to my page and at the very least repost those posts, have the day you deserve and free Palestine🇵🇸

And a version for my aro/ace/not interested in kissing for whatever reason siblings:

So I finally got my water heater replaced after more than half a year of it leaking and nearly destroying my floor, but that's not the story. The story is of the handyman that installed it.

Dude's name is Chris, and he's your typically midwestern schlub - friendly, apologizes too much, really likes the Cardinals, maybe a little younger than my parents. Hella nice tho, gets the heater installed quickly, and even offers to fix the floorboards it warped (after nearly tripping over the hump it made in the floor twice). Overall, a stress-free experience.

Then, as he's gathering up his tools - "So, I noticed your, uh, banner. Over your bed."*

*(The closet where my water heater is is located in my bedroom because I live in a mobile home, dude wasn't just wandering creepily into my bedroom)

He's referring to a giant pride flag that's hanging over my bed, with the words "Sounds gay, I'm in"

My anxiety spikes instantaneously, thinking oh christ I'm about to get hatecrimed or at least microaggressioned.

But then he says "Yeah, my daughter is gay, and I was wondering, like...where do you guys, ya know, meet up?"

What.

"Because she met her most recent girlfriend when she was in jail, and I keep asking why she doesn't just find a nice lesbian librarian or something and she said 'dad I know they're out there, I just don't know where'. So...like...where do you?"

So I ended up confessing to this nice man who installed my water heater that I don't know of any real gay culture in our mostly Baptist Missouri town of about 18,000 that routinely freaks out over pride displays in the library (I'm sure it exists but I'm lazy and haven't gone looking for it). My girlfriend lives in an area with a rather bustling gay community (we just did a face painting booth for their pride festival a few weeks ago), so maybe have her go out there with some friends, and also a lot of queers I know play dnd so maybe find a nice group of them and network. I then apologized that I wasn't more helpful in getting his daughter settled with a nice, wholesome dyke.

On the plus side, he was not deterred at all, and seemed to be very interested in the fact dnd was so popular amongst the el gee bee tees. I told him the names of some dms I know and told him to go to town. I do not know if the names will be given to his daughter or hoarded for himself so he can join a group and play like he did when he was a teenager and not be called satanic for it.

He's coming to fix my floor next week.

queer joy is waving my ace flag at the pride parade and having someone in the parade wearing an ace flag as a cape see me and hold up their flag while they cheered 🫶🏼

[totallyveryallosexual]

Four years ago, my parents told me I shouldn't be open about my sexuality because I would be judged.

Next week, I'm promposing to the girl I like (she's already agreed to go with me, I just want to do something silly).

Queer joy does exist.

Young queer people, you will find your happiness some day. I believe in you.

To my fellow queers, in case you’ve lost sight of things a little bit like I had, I want you to watch this

This is why we create, this is why we don’t hide even in the face of great adversity. Our stories are beautiful, and moving, and remember how much it means to people. I love being queer, I love being a lesbian, I love being trans, I love us. I love our joy, our stories, our hearts. I love the way we love.

Don’t loose sight of that, in all the discourse, in all the inter community fighting, don’t loose sight of The Reason™️. Remember how far we’ve come.

Look at where we are, look at where we started. Your love, your joy, your story, your visibility MATTERS. The art you create matters.

I love us, I love our love, and nothing will ever change that

Happy 10 years Korrasami 💕🏳️‍🌈

To me, "having made it" as a trans woman isn't passing.

It's about not needing to shave your legs anymore to feel feminine.

It's about not needing to wear makeup anymore to feel feminine.

It's about not worrying about every step or sound you make to make sure you seem feminine.

It's about trying to get your hair to look just right, and instead of thinking "RAAAH NOO!! I'll never pass like this everyone will think I'm a man!", you think "Bleh, bad hair day... Oh well"

It's about feeling feminine no matter what you do, no matter what others think. Especially that last part.

It's about knowing, accepting, deep down, that you are a woman, and nothing you do or don't do will change that fact.

That's when I know I made it.

Horny but literally just for making out, please please fucking hell I wanna be in bed with my sweet boy kissing and biting and whispering out soft love yous and praise and melting into each other. Just soft making out for the fucking sake of holding and hugging each other under the fairy lights, kissing and hugging and cuddling for hours on end for the fucking softness and the love in it, until we inevitably fall asleep.

His head on my chest, our arms around each other and my head resting on his. Sleepily kissing him good night, along with his plushies as a studio ghibli movie keeps going in the background, too sleepy to turn it off. Keeping him safe and warm all night like long, knowing he's keeping me safe too.

A two sentence poem about my childhood best friend <3

[queertranshappiness]

Trans and queer people make this world more beautiful. We experience new things, and create new worlds every single day. Never forget that. We have a right to our lives, our joy, and our freedom. We make the world better every day with our sheer existences, and no matter what, we will always be here.
