My favorite thing about being genderqueer/genderpunk is no matter the gender the post is talking about I just go “ha me” and I’m always right

Heya, I would just like to quickly apologise for not producing any pride art this pride month, the reason being is because I cannot celebrate pride in real life as I am still in the closet.

But, that doesn’t mean that anyone else should feel afraid nor ashamed of who they are because they cannot celebrate publicly.

You will always be valid no matter how much you celebrate, never be ashamed nor afraid of who you are, you always have been and always will be valid in your identity.

You matter. You are loved.

Be yourself, no matter what.

I know people like to make fun of soap operas and the viewers, but like.

My first introduction to queer folk that wasn't the idea of someone being gay as a punchline/misunderstanding/overly sexual being was port Charles and general hospital.

They introduced Aids and Hiv and treated drug users with compassion. The first time I found out about the aids quilt was from that show.

I wasn't even in double digits, watching those shows with my mom and sister, and I learned more about the aids pandemic and impact than I ever learned in school. Those shows were probably my first sex ed, with their storyline especially about stone and robin.

I still remember the nurses ball and the fact that even in a show made to be dramatic, the sincerity and love for queer people was advocated for in a real way, spreading awareness to every viewer.

My home

She says That I may find home in many places On the stage In a house and community In a postcard I don’t say That I want it all I want the stage I want the home and community I want her. Because we are only children  Yet i feel she is my home

She says she must move Around and around I don’t say  That I want her to stay with me I want her. All of her Because  i feel she is my home

She says That she will always have a home Here and there In the people she loves I don’t say That I want to be her home For her to come home to me To come home to her Because i feel she is my home

I know I’m not what she needs And she’s not what I do But I can’t stop Wanting her to be my home And thinking of her When I hear the word home

As a bisexual, can I use the f slur? I never know if it's appropriate 😅

It's Sunday a decade from now. We go to a church that loves and accepts us and then come home to eat lunch outside. Afterwards, you go inside to take a nap, and I stay outside to read or work in the garden for a couple of hours. We then make snacks for the friends we invited to spend the evening with at our place. We all play games or watch a movie. You and I say goodnight to the last guest and clean up. We should probably go to bed since we both have work in the morning, but instead I put on a record and we slow dance in the living room. Life isn't perfect, but this moment can be.

Strange World is such a slept on movie. I will never not be mad about the lack of promotion it got there are still so many people who don’t even know it exists and it’s a really good movie. Strange World was both a win and a loss for the LGBTQIA+ community.

*doom music starts to play* I actually kindof like scheduling these kinds of appointments now...

but seriously Fellas, don't forget to schedule a pap smear every couple of years just in case. If you still have a cervix you can still get cervical cancer. ilu

this has been a psa

I need to say something and I need y'all to be calm

if it isn't actively bad or harmful, no representation should be called "too simple" or "too surface level"

I have a whole argument for this about the barbie movie but today I wanna talk about a show called "the babysitters club" on Netflix

(obligatory disclaimer that I watched only two episodes of this show so if it's super problematic I'm sorry) (yes. I know it's based on a book, this is about the show)

this is a silly 8+ show that my 9 year old sister is watching and it manages to tackle so many complex topics in such an easy way. basic premise is these 13 year old girls have a babysitting agency.

in one episode, a girl babysits this transfem kid. the approach is super simple, with the kid saying stuff like "oh no, those are my old boy clothes, these are my girl clothes". they have to go to the doctor and everyone is calling the kid by her dead name and using he/him and this 13 year old snaps at like a group of doctors and they all listen to her. it's pure fantasy and any person versed in trans theory would point out a bunch of mistakes.

but after watching this episode, my little sister started switching to my name instead of my dead name and intercalating he/him pronouns when talking about me.

one of the 13 years old is a diabetic and sometimes her whole personality is taken over by that. but she has this episode where she pushes herself to her limit and passes out and talks about being in a coma for a while because of not recognizing the limits of her disability.

and this allowed my 9 year old sister to understand me better when I say "I really want to play with you but right now my body physically can't do that" (I'm disabled). she has even asked me why I'm pushing myself, why I'm not using my crutches when I complain about pain.

my mom is 50 years old and watching this show with my sister. she said the episode about the diabetic girl helped her understand me and my disability better. she grew up disabled as well, but she was taught to shut up and power through.

yes, silly simple representation can annoy you if you've read thousands of pages about queer liberation or disability radical thought, but sometimes things are not for you.

entering this great new phase of my life where, when someone treats me like shit, instead of going "oh man I guess I'm a piece of shit" I can whole-heartedly go "christ alive, what is wrong with you? you can't treat people like that" and it may sound simple but it took a long time to get here and there's no fucking way I'm going back
