#nonbinary people are real and valid

[kqrmen1]

im so upset rn

i keep seeing shit about other queer people SUPPORTING LAWS THAT BAN GENDER AFFIRMING CARE and it pisses me off so much.

we wouldnt have ANY QUEER RIGHTS without trans women of colour. yall remember stone wall?? you know, the breaking point that allowed queer rights to even be suggested in the US as human rights???

that was because of trans women of colour.

if you support terfs, block this account. if you believe that children cant understand that being forced to present a certain way makes them unhappy, block this account. if you truly believe that gender affirming care mutilates or destroys kids, BLOCK THIS ACCOUNT.

and for all my mutuals and followers who are not trans, support your trans/nonbinary/intersex friends and family. fight against these laws and bans being put into place. go to protests, email your senator, reblog and post about news involving these bans. do not be silent.

im sick and tired of the LGBTQ community forgetting where we came from.

The Hilda homophobes might be trying to resurface with the new season (saw some transphobic comments on a post today) so a reminder that any kind of bigotry is not welcome here! Fuck off!! You're not welcome!!

[frostralia]

Trans people belong! Trans women belong! Trans men belong! Non-binary people belong! Genderfluid people belong. Intersex people belong. Demi people belong! We all belong!

Hey btw I see a lot of well-meaning people use "you can't change your gender" interchangeably with "you can't control your gender" and I wanna say that while you may not mean to, by saying that you are in fact erasing the existence of genderfluid people and it kinda sucks

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!!!

Remember that nonbinary, aromantic, and asexual people belong at Pride, and I am fully prepared to kick your ass if you disagree with me on that.

Just a not so friendly reminder that Pride also celebrates non-white cisgendered gay men and everyone who doesn't acknowledge the contributions of BIPOC, or trans members of the lgbtq community can go rot in the hell the Christians love to tell us we're going to. Love and hugs 🥰

i cannot imagine how traumatized people are after conversion therapy. just watching 5 minutes of boy erased (an insightful and very deeply unsettling movie that reminds me of a documentary but it’s not)- it’s so triggering. it fills me with a sense of dread and all the god talk and admitting your sins is so mind boggling. whoever has gone through indoctrination and forced detransition and conversion camps and any type of psychological torture-

im so sorry. i’m so sorry this world failed you. i’m sorry that hate got to you before a happy life did. there is nothing wrong with us or you, and even if someone is still convinced being converted was the right thing- i’m so sorry. it wasn’t your fault, you didn’t deserve that. please remember that a loving god would never do this to you. you deserve to live your life

[dumbbutchmutt]

I like don't keep this in my pinned cause this is a nsft blog amd my main is more for stuff like this but I support bi lesbians because honestly as a butch lesbian who uses he/they I understand far too much about what it means to have people assume things about my labels and hate me for it. So if you keep in your beliefs that bi lesbians don't exist you probably shouldn't interact with me lol.

Not mad since I've never said anything, but I've got an increase in blogs that say dni interact if you believe they exist or support them and I definitely do. 🧡

nobody is saying don't use inclusive language. 'breasts' is inclusive. it's not a gendered word, it's a body part.

*le sigh* I never said it’s gendered, because it isn’t. However, it can trigger dysphoria for some people, myself included. The reason for that is, a lot of the time when people use the word breasts they use it to talk about women, and when using chest it’s more gender neutral coded because men (and nonbinary and other gender expansive people) aren’t expected to have breasts because of cissexism. That doesn’t make it gendered, but it does associate them with the gender binary to an extent.

It costs 0 cents to not be an asshole and use the terminology that doesn’t induce dysphoria. If a trans/nonbinary person is fine with calling their chest breasts, that’s totally valid and completely their choice and should be respected, you do you. But that isn’t the case for everyone. You never know whether a trans person is dysphoric or not, or how bad their dysphoria is if they have it. In some cases, it could lead to people having a breakdown or worse. Anon, you’re sounding a whole lot like cis women that whine about being called “people with uteri” and ngl this reeks of TERF.

why is "chronosion" or whatever on thin ice? i view it as similar to how system members can have different ages from the body + singlets who are permanently age reg/progressed (or ageless or whatever else). is it the association/branching off of "transage" (and the association of "transage" with pedo/4chan crap or the community it harvested and being buddy-buddy with pedos and all that crap) that makes it uncomfortable? or something else im missing? (i assume its not the experience itself because you guys are 8-10 and 16-ageless but i might be wrong because i have bad theory of mind)

yeah, it's the connection between chronosian and "transage" and how people often use them interchangeably. the creator of chronosian is opposed to "transage" and other "transx/transid" identities, but we still suggest checking the op tags and blog when reblogging chronosian identities because mogai tumblr is infamously bad at research and respect.

additionally, at least to me (rev), the concept of "identifying as a different age than the body" in general is very unsettling when used outside of specific plural settings. the creator of chronosian explains in this post that neurodivergent people may identify as chronosian because of how we mature differently, and while they do provide disclaimers in an attempt to fend off ableists, I believe that the association is still potentially dangerous. the creation of microlabels for different expressions of chronosian identity also seems to me like a trivialization of the material reality of age. as a Claudia, I find it helpful to sometimes identify as an 8-10 year old, since my emotions and personality will never fully mature. however, I also identify as a 26 year old who is fully capable of harming others as an adult and is able to consent to sex with other adults. I think it is important even as a syskid or a regressor to keep a solid grasp on your real physical age, both for the safety and comfort of others and for your own self-concept.

HOWEVER, I do think that the basic terminology of "chronosian" is helpful, and would identify as it. also, ETMK is not as serious as I am about this and does not have any criticism of chronosian other than finding the word itself "sort of dorky". so that's what we mean by "on thin ice".

tl;dr, we are overall ok with chronosian as long as it is divorced from "transage", but one of us has some friendly criticism about it.

Trying to prove a point to my transphobic parents

Reblog if trans men are REAL, VALID AND HANDSOME MEN, NO MATTER HOW THEY CHOOSE TO PASS

Reblog if trans women are REAL, VALID, AND BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, NO MATTER HOW THEY CHOOSE TO PASS

And finally, because it's a part of my argument for this point, and also because they are,

Reblog if nonbinary and genderqueer people in general, are REAL, VALID, AND GORGEOUS PEOPLE, NO MATTER HOW THEY PASS

[writinginthesecrettrees]

Ok, I'm gonna be REAL controversial for a second:

Saying "incest and underage fics are ok because it's usually CSA survivors recontextualizing/processing their own experience" is just purity culture lite. It's like saying "Birth control should be legal because some people use it for non-birth control related purposes" or "abortion needs to be legal because women can die without it."

Yes, these are TRUE and IMPORTANT things. But kind of... not the point?

Kind of giving way to the antis, the puritanical right, the misogynists who just want to control women (because you KNOW they aren't thinking about trans men or nonbinary people when they legislate abortion).

Lemme see if I can explain: by saying "look at this VALID and IMPORTANT reason someone might have for doing the thing you don't like," you are saying that there are invalid reasons for it. That some people shouldn't do it.

You are saying that it is objectively wrong, and that exceptions must be made for it to be okay. And putting aside the fact that NO ONE should have to disclose their personal trauma for judgement, that no one should have to disclose their personal medical history to a judge or legislator before receiving treatment... you are conceding the point.

I refuse to concede anything on this.

I like fucked up fic, I like being able to fuck without getting pregnant, I like that if my birth control fails I can still make a choice about whether or not I want to be pregnant and give birth. I WILL NOT go into my reasons on ANY of this. Because YOU do not have a right to that information, and I am also protecting the privacy of everyone else who does not want to share their reasons.

Really sick of all the suggestions re the recent transmisogynistic policy against Sarah McBride to bring in “buff trans men to use the women’s restroom to make the cis women there/cis men outside feel uncomfortable and see that actual scary masculine men don’t belong in women’s restrooms so they’ll understand why the AGAB-restricted policy needs to be reversed” or for her to use the men’s restroom as a protest and ostentatiously “acting ‘femininely’/‘like a woman’” (e.g. putting on makeup or doing her hair) “to make the Republican cis men in there uncomfortable because she’s ‘very visibly presenting as a woman’ so they’ll admit she doesn’t belong in the men’s restroom and will be so uncomfortable they’ll want to reverse the policies and let her use the women’s restroom.”

Like, how do you not realize this still relies on a cissexist/transphobic/binarist/complementarian/oppositional view of gender, still portrays trans people as genuinely threatening or uncomfortable to cis people in restrooms, implicitly misgenders/denies the equal rights of trans people who don’t “pass” well enough and are less “respectable”/“presentable,” reaffirms the notion that gender non-conformity or the proximity of “the opposite gender”/associated social rituals in gendered spaces is necessarily cringe-inducing/disgusting/repulsive/undesirable, reaffirms the validity of judging people’s right to use the restroom they want to use based on their gendered characteristics instead of just affirming their autonomy, validates cis (gender-conforming) people as the rightful judges of who is/isn’t allowed / as the ones who ultimately deserve to be specially accommodated/who set the standard, erases femme men and butch women (cis or trans) as well as trans people who may want to choose to use the restroom aligning with their AGAB despite appearing visibly nonconforming already for whatever reason (including safety or convenience in some respects), and places obligation on and trivializes the danger of trans people putting their bodies on the line in protest (in an undignified and almost exploitative/objectifying way) when we all know full well that Republican cis men and women already don’t actually want trans women or trans men in the same restrooms with them, respectively? We already know they would react with hatred against trans people who use the “right” restroom too. This has played out elsewhere in real life plenty of times before, where trans people trying to comply with such regulations have been questioned, policed, harassed, and kicked out by security anyway.

(And nonbinary people are always forgotten and left out of the conversation completely because of course.)
