#Queer love

[queertranshappiness]

We've been trying to work through body expectations, lately. So, if you need to hear it:

Being AFAB does not mean you have a girl's body, and neither does being AMAB mean you have a boy's body, or however society wants to force you to be. Your body is your own, and therefore, whoever you are: it's yours to define, your body is a valid man's, woman's, nonbinary person's, abinary person's, xenic person's, and all other alignment's body. It is yours, and you are also more than just it.

You are allowed to do what you want to your body that makes you happy. Whether that be haircuts, clothes, medical transition or not, tattoos, cool shoes, anything... be as you as you can be, even if you're not out yet. If there's one small thing you can do right now to feel more at peace in your body, begin there, and work from there. Soon, you'll be proud of yourself at how far you'll have come. And if stuff doesn't work out: that's okay, because you'll now know more about what to try next to make you feel good. In a commonly used metaphor, gender and presentation aren't boxes, like the cisnormative world makes it feel like it must be. They're a playground, so do what you want. That's a good act of resistance, too.

on a serious note, though, today and the next four years and probably the years after that are going to be very very hard for a lot of people. i am always here for you guys, if you follow me or you don’t, if you’ve ever seen my blog before or this is your first encounter, no matter what. talk to me if you need somebody to listen.

give your queer friends a hug the next time you see them. if you are queer, i’m sending you a hug right now. please don’t give up. our rights and our validity is no doubt about to be put under the microscope, but please remember that you have people that love you and who will miss you when you are gone. i will miss you. choose to stay and to fight. be brave, for me. i love you.

give your friends who are women a hug the next time you see them. if you are a woman, i’m sending you a hug right now. our rights to our bodies and our very right to what little equality we have is in danger. please stay. stay. stay on this earth. i don’t care what you have to do. stay. we are strong. we can fight. we will fight. you are brave, you are powerful, and you can and will make a difference in this world. just please stay on it.

give your poc friends a hug the next time you see them. if you are a poc, i’m sending you a hug right now. there’s a racist in office, and he no doubt plans to start deportations and several other racist actions beginning today. please stay. you are needed on this earth, and in america. don’t ever let somebody who willingly died themselves fucking orange tell you otherwise. stay.

give your friends who are victims of sexual violence and harassment a hug next time you see them. if you are a victim, im sending you a hug right now. i love you. you are the bravest person i will ever meet, just for what you have endured your ability to still be here. you are incredibly strong. these next years are undoubtably going to be impossibly hard with a literal rapist in office. please please please please please stay on this earth. please remember that you are loved. stay.

give any of your friends a hug the next time you see them. i’m sending you one right now. we are about to witness sheer and utter stupidity run our country into the ground. i love you, and i want you on this planet. i don’t care what happens, i need you to keep fighting, for me and for your family and for your friends and for your pets and for the birds in the trees and for art and for life. you matter. you are loved. please stay.

i am not exaggerating. it doesn’t matter if this is your first day on this app and we’ve never so much as exchanged a like, if you need somebody to talk to, i am here. i will listen, i will talk to you, i will give you love, because you deserve it. please be strong. please, fight.

stay.

I love queer movies where the protagonist realizes that his ex-girlfriend is better off with someone else, and that he actually finds his soulmate in his mutant best friend (+their love language is killing each other)

Need more of you kinky fucks to talk about how fucking good it is to be mutually subby with someone. The desperate whiny humping, the drooling and moaning into each other's mouths as we dumbly make out, the biting and scratching and needy groping, and making a pretty mess of cum on each other

Really just euphoric to cuddle and hump away, two dumb horny pets moaning and whining please at each other, both being such good fucking pets as we cum at the same time, whining and whispering I love you and falling asleep in each other's arms, all spent and fucked out in each other's cum

You can do that at Scarleteen.com/contribute or by heading to our site and clicking ‘Pitch-In ’. 🎉 If you’re already donating (thank you!) please consider increasing your monthly amount, if you can, even a little bit. We’ll count any increases we get towards our two goals! You can do that by clicking 'Manage Your Donation' in your latest donation receipt. If you can’t donate yourself, can you tell your friends, family and followers who we are, why you value our work and ask them if they’d be willing to donate? You can share this post and the link above, but using your own words is the most effective! Despite leading the way in SRE online from the 1990s on, and always making sure young people have access to good information even when it is suppressed elsewhere in their lives, we remain underfunded, including funding to pay our staff a fair, living wage. We need to meet this $15K goal to fund our most basic needs and our tightest budget. If you can help us do that, we can focus on providing awesome SRE, growing, improving and kicking-ass, and finding more funding for 2025. Thank you! ❤️

Miss you, darling. Miss you so much. I hurt you so much when I was hurting, and it was the same from you to me. I hope you're doing well and I hope you don't ever get near me. I'm sorry for resenting you

[atavist]

Two women promised they would see the Golden Gate Bridge for the first time once they were together. They had no idea how long that would take—bureaucracy, bigotry, and the pandemic stood in their way.

“Love, Interrupted,” Atavist issue no. 154, is now live:

Now 1,100 miles apart, the two women texted and called each other incessantly. Shree wanted more. She knew that Ashwini was on the cusp of an arranged marriage, which had already cost Shree one relationship. “I like you,” she told Ashwini after a few weeks. “But if it’s a no, that’s fine. We should stop talking right now.”

Ashwini wasn’t sure what to do. She knew the risks she faced: Walking away from an arranged marriage would almost certainly require coming out to her parents, and once her orientation was no longer a secret, who knew what kind of condemnation or rejection she might face—personal, professional, or otherwise? Plus, she would have to learn to accept herself for who she was. The alternative, however, was a life without Shree.

A few days after Ashwini’s 30th birthday, she video-called Shree. Looking at Shree’s face, she knew that she was ready to make the leap. Ashwini asked Shree to be her girlfriend.
