If you were wondering why many lesbians of color are fighting back against identity policing and rightfully calling it out as white supremacy, it is because this rhetoric is dangerous, harmful, and antithetical to our liberation. Invalidating lesbian manhood is rooted in antiBlackness and antiIndigeneity. Excluding lesbians of color for our race and culture is colonization in action. Excluding trans lesbians of color for our cultural gender and sexuality and for being trans in a way that subverts colonial gender systems is racist and transphobic. here is a fantastic article that talks about African gender and sexuality and highlights the existence of male lesbians or lesbian men. As an Indigenous person of triracial descent, I am proud of my Indigenous cultural gender and sexuality, and I will not allow white supremacists and queer assimilationists to erasure the history and cultures of my ancestors. Male lesbians and lesbian men are STILL HERE. We are proudly Black, Brown, and Indigenous! This is our tradition!

so sick of north america and europe’s superiority complex over being “so queer friendly 🩷💕💞💓💗🌸🌺🌷🪷!”
latin america, north america, south and east asia, and africa all had non european ideas of gender and sexuality. my good friend colonization force fed homophobia and the gender binary down their throats. and now they wonder why gay marriage is illegal in these countries? it’s because of you girlie, you are the problem.

Idk queer kryptonian have always intrigued me, never being mentioned in canon, but they should do something about them in canon with Jon being out and all... I can easily imagine Crush (Xiomara Rojas, lesbain daughter of Lobo) asking Kara about Krypton's gay scene sgsjksks
I don't know about canon, but we can certainly have fun takes in AUs about it haha. I know it's because Krypton as a concept is made by us, human beings with very rigid gender norms via the western gender binary and what not, so Krypton generally tends to be imagined in a very "like us, but futuristic" way- but I think it's much more fun to imagine an alien species with a whole different set of rules over how gender and sexuality function in society. An entirely different framework alien (hah) to us. Like think less gay couples or a gender neutral bathroom and more a society that never considered a binary to begin with. What would that world look like, and how would characters like Jon or even Conner react learning about this?
Canon will probably never do this because this would imply a nuanced understanding of the intersection between culture and queer identity and well! Haha.
#askjesncin#lest we forget the trans conner pitch#there are earth cultures TODAY that don't see gender as a binary before colonialism messed it up#decolonize your brain open it to the possibilities!!#Krypton gender utopia when

"The performative roles that are enforced onto us reproduce harmful social relations, instilling onto us a preset of prejudiciary behaviors and ideals about what a man and woman is and how they're "supposed to be" in a "good society".
Instead of seeing personhood first, we are instilled with a gendered framework of treating the other person as the prescribed characteristic of what femininity and masculinity is supposed to be, and whether they perform to this prescription or not.
However, humanity itself is more complex than this reductive vision of putting some in to "Block A" or "Block B". Instead, a spectrum of interconnected complexity and performances that cannot be neatly contained into pink and blue boxes.
Hell, even sex itself is bimodal, which explains the existence of intersex people. A post-gender society can only exist when the institutions and systemic consequences of patriarchy have long died.
In the meantime, we can only work towards advancing and progressing notions about gender, and working to dismantle the hierarchies that the binary puts onto us, perhaps reaching a point where we no longer need the gender categorization to meaningfully ourselves in our own unique way."

I have a feeling my lecturer isnt gonna think my essay idea is relevant so some time tomorrow I'm setting myself up with speech to text and rambling to yis abt aye and gomorrah and its colonial gender identities
#bcos frelk as a label is the same globally. its grammatical gender changes sometimes but its the same Word#and that makes it feel artificial! its like a world where every single language has the exact same word for 'woman'!#and thats bcos it seems like all nations are banded together in colonial pursuit of mars#we see the frelks be treated poorly but never because theyre working to colonise mars#and this is in spite of their breaking the gender binary#in a way that nonbinary and intersex and transgender people do too but the frelks are accepted for it#because yeah they may have some skin in the game but chiefly they are degendered in pursuit of colonialism#and because they are working towards this goal they are alternately seen as objects of admiration and necessary evils#like we see nothing of any organic gender non-conformity but it would not be treated as well as frelkdom#what is the thing that sets frelks apart? that people mimic when they pretend to be frelks? their UNIFORM#they become their uniform and their uniform is what is admired#ok its 2am i gotta stop talking bye bye

The older I get, the more I believe that TERF/radfem ideology is basically just repackaged European/US Christofacist imperialism in a secular hat.
#like 75 percent of all “criticism” of any non-Christian religion from them boils down to “WHITE PEOPLE: GOOD AND PURE. PERSON OF COLOUR: BAD#instead of talking about authoritarianism and religious fundamentalism intersecting#especially in response to European colonialism and the implementation of the western gender binary/roles#and anti-sodomy laws#it's just white supremacy with a secularist coat#anti terf#anti radfem#antifascist#leftism#socialism

i turned 30 yesterday and i need the ability to telepathically tell ppl who comment on my comic about the trans characters that the bad faith questions are not as subtle as they think
#rambles#'if she's mtf why does she still have a mane'#the actual answer is that no one owes you gender conformity and trans women are allowed to keep their masculine traits and still be women#the short answer is b/c fuck you her hair is fabulous#the short answer is the whole aspect of gender in xenofiction cultures isn't gonna be white colonialism equivalent#the short answer is the gender binary bores me and this is my fantasy sandbox so guess what buttercup i am god#shrugs#im 30 i don't have to respond to these comments anymore lmao#it's also always the same people who will comment on multiple pages with “harmless” questions that are like#“but what about -enter animal behavior claim-”#my guy you're on page like 80 we've introduced lesbians trans characters and magic already#i'm not really sure what your expectations are with realism#there was a doctor mandrill on page like 8 with a massive bonfire inside of a built structure we are clearly not in realism

Motherfuckers got embarrassed when they were being called ''SJWs'' in their teens or early adulthood that you all stopped reading any sort of theory or political work that encourages us to stop and think about what mechanisms and structures are a part of society that influence the way we see ourselves and the people around us - which includes patriarchal and euro-centric standards of beauty and appearance - so now you're too busy arguing over if a child wanting to make her "big nose" less big is progressive and #feminist or not.
#and I want to make this very clear because you're all undeniably deliberately obtuse and look for the WORST interpretation of everything:#everyone should have full bodily autonomy to do what they like to their body AND cis people are allowed to trans their gender as well#because gender is a social construct and true transsexual & gender liberation comes through the removal of all these boundaries and binarie#however you should still critique the patriarchal society and be aware of why people do certain things or believe certain things#like nothing is apolitical and the idea that beauty and appearance somehow doesn't have any influence from a deeply anti-Bla(c)k - colonial#patriarchal - transphobic/transmisogynist AND capitalist society is genuinely laughable.#captain's log#Darcy don't look#discourse#I guess

I saw someone say that they would feel betrayed if they found out someone they were talking to who had identified as transfem was actually afab. To that I say, it’s none of your business how anyone identifies or what their reasons are, and if you would feel betrayed by a queer person identifying with a term and community, that’s something you need to rethink and reflect on. I am tired of colonial terminology being forced on Black/Brown/Indigenous people, especially when these terms are being misused. AFAB/AMAB terminology originates from intersex communities. I am not AFAB or AMAB. I was not assigned a gender. I understand that society perceives me as a specific gender most of the time, but their perception has zero to do with how I identify. I identify as transfem because I am coming from a place rooted in indigenous masculinity, and transgressing and transforming into womanhood. I do not have to explain or justify the way that I identify. It’s just another painful reminder that white gender will always be centered, and Black/Brown/Indigenous gender will always be excluded. I understand why you would feel that way, but your feelings are not my problem. Identity policing is rooted in white supremacy.

maybe i'm betraying the lgbt community but I actually do like the concept of aliens or other inhuman beings being technically non-binary because they don't get the concept of sex and gender in the same way humans do. like I get that having actual human non-binary rep is important but exploring gender, how it could be viewed in other cultures and worlds, and pushing boundaries sounds far more interesting. Even if the alien does eventually decide that the human concept of gender does fit them, it would be interesting to think about.
#i just have feelings#but even realistically the concept of gender used today is inherently western and colonial and we need to deconstruct that#also personal rant but like i only use non-binary as a label to get across the message but I don't even really identify with it. i don't#identify with gender. at all. and maybe that's just a me thing but being able to see different characters across media have different#concepts and understandings of gender actually makes me feel that bit more human which is also a thing I have never truly felt comfortable#calling myself because of the way gender is so boxed in. even non-binary itself is considered a “third gender” when by virtue of its namesa#it is exactly the opposite. it is “outside the binary”#maybe this is truly a me thing but also people still get into arguments over neopronouns and genders so maybe we should start considering i#vent#<- tagging it as such because of my tag ramble. still okay to rb#writing#queer#gender identity#gender#non binary#enby#man idk

Assigned before birth
My mom used to tell me that when I was in her womb, everyone (including her) thought she was going to have a boy.
When she would narrate that, I'd feel a pang of joy... but didn't (or refused to?) know why at the time.

I say and repeat: Transphobia is colonialism and gender binarism is racism.
Thank you @reaux07 because this came across my FYP because you reposted it.
