I would like to clarify as I see this term being used more. This is NOT exclusive to AFAB folk. We love and include transfems in our lesbianism. I do not support exclusion of them from the term I came up with. This term is trans inclusive :)

That’s all

Me gustaría aclarar porque veo que la comunidad lesbian usa este término mas y mas. Este término NO ES exclusivo de AFAB. Amamos y incluimos a la gente AMAB/transfemenina en nuesto lesbianismo. No apoyo la exclusión de ellas/es nuestra un término que yo creé. Este término es inclusivo y incluye a todos lesbianas.

Eso es toso

I had a dream that butch latines started calling themselves “naranjas” and that femme latines would ask if they could have fruit from their tree as a way to let them know they were interested. And I think we should make this an actual thing because that’s so cute. It reminds me of the phrase “mi media naranja”

Soñé que las latines marimachas empezaban a llamarse “naranjas”. Y las mujeres latines comenzaron a preguntar si podían comer las frutas de sus árboles como una forma de decirles que estaban interesadas en elles. Y creo que deberíamos usar esto. Es lindo y me recuerda a “mi media naranja".

I think that for Latinx, there's this misconception that it comes from like people that are in the ivory tower, these people that are non-Latinx people trying to impose it on the Latinx community. And you notice I use Latinx, and I use Latinx and Latine interchangeably. Yeah, they're the same thing. But yeah, there's this misconception and it's not true. Both terms, Latinx and Latine have both come out of activist communities that are Latin American.

A short radio interview (plus transcript!) with linguist Dr. Megan Figueroa on the use of gender-neutral Latinx and the rise of Latine as an alternative form.

make plans to get out of here (america) as quickly as possible in an emergency (read: get your passport and save money)

become as familiar as you can with everything that trump has said he will do, study that 900+ page plan and know who is involved

show as much support as possible for queer people and poc, especially trans and latinx people

support women's rights to their own body

specifically to Christian people: please, please, please show support for queer people and poc and please show your aversion to Christian nationalism

protest, disrupt the natural flow of things, don't be quiet don't stop talking about it
