#safe space lgbt

[prince-ashitaka]

Lets create a house where yelling means we’re having fun. When you hear a door slam you know it was accidentally pulled with too much strength, not slammed out of anger. When there is silence, it is Contentment, not another passive aggressive fight. The dog is no longer barking to protect, he simply just wants the cats to play with him. Let’s create a safe, warm environment that makes you feel like you can breathe, not hold your breath. Let’s stomp on the eggshells we use to tip toe on. Together we will make this house into a home. And welcome all with open arms into this kind and loving space.

Hey, wait! Please stop scrolling for a sec!

Please bear with me and read to the end! I promise it'll be worth it.

My name is Nexys, and I am queer and disabled. For years I have been striving to create the most tight-knit safe space (that's ACTUALLY safe) on the internet, using content creation as common ground. And we're really starting to take off!

But I need your help. Please reblog this post so that I may meet new people and make new friends! My community has been lifechanging, both to myself and to the people within it. I really feel like my Twitch, YouTube, and Discord communities have been making a difference in the lives of some of the most disadvantaged and marginalized people in the LGBT and neurodiverse communities.

We often play games like Minecraft, Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon, and Pokémon, with the occasional challenges and other genres thrown in. Sometimes we even invite our chat to play the games with us! So if this sounds like the sort of community you'd be interested in, please join our Discord Server so you don't miss out!

I'm a small creator, and due to my disabilities cannot hold down a normal 9-5 job, so any support and engagement from you—time or money—is a lifechanging opportunity that could potentially alter the course of my life and the lives of my loved ones. Even just dropping in to say hello would mean the world to me!

But I know time is a precious resource, so if you're too busy to sit in with us but still want to support the cause, for as little as $1/month you can become a Patron or for one-time donations buy me a Ko-fi! And depending on what you choose, there may even be some free artwork and other fun perks in it for you!

Thank you so much for your time! Me and my community really hope to meet you, and we hope that you, dear reader, have a fantastic rest of your day/night! Happy Pride!

❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷🤍🩶🖤🤎

Aromantics are valid.

Asexuals are valid.

Aroaces are valid.

The world doesn't revolve around relationships, grow the fuck up.

If someone is happy single, then they are fucking happy. No, they aren't "wrong in the head", they are valid.

If you don't agree, stay the hell away from me.

There is a '+' in LGBTQ+ for a reason.

The 'A' is NOT for 'Ally', it is for Aromantic, Asexual, and/or AroAce.

People on the Aromantic spectrum and Asexual spectrum are LGBTQ+.

[miintlxtte]

hey! here’s a reminder

trans people don’t owe you passing

bisexual/pansexual(etc) people don’t owe you a same-sex relationship

aro and/or ace people don’t owe you a complete absence of attraction

- aromantic people don’t owe you a lack of dating

- asexual people don’t owe you never having sex

gender-fluid people don’t owe you a “gender-aligning” appearance

agender people don’t owe you androgyny

neurodivergent people don’t owe you masking

alternative people don’t owe owe you a “normal” appearance

age regressors don’t owe you a want for you to be their cg

greg might owe you five bucks though. go tell him to fuck himself.

[risesthenight]

aromantic and asexual people deserve representation. we deserve to see characters who feel neither sexual nor romantic attraction. we deserve to see characters who only experience romantic or sexual attraction. we deserve to see characters who experience different types of attractions at different levels. we deserve representation for the variety that is the aromantic spectrum and the asexual spectrum.

y’all, I’m going to be real. I DO NOT CARE how you identify. you do not need to ask me “do you support x?”. unless you are an online troll who is using an actually harmful sexuality or gender identity in which then I’m blocking you. I’m not going to judge you or tell you how to identify. Be who you are and know this is a positivity account and you’ll never be seeing any kind of discourse or negativity around other peoples identities.

~ anxiety comfort for littles struggling w/ new beginnings that’s incredibly self-indulgent ~

cg who notices that you’ve been on edge ever since your move – maybe it was for school, work, a change of scenery – whatever the case, they know how change affects you.

“baby, come here. let me hold you.” they beckon you close, wanting to hug you n squeeze you n let you know that you are so loved.

they ask you to tell them your thoughts and feelings, and you relent. you go on about how scared you are for the future, how the change in environment is debilitating.

all the while, your cg holds you so gently, rubbing your back and listening intently.

when you finish, they press your head to their chest, combing long fingers through your hair.

“it’s going to be okay. if i know anything about my little one it’s that they’re so strong and brave. they’re more capable than they think.”

you blush at the praise, nuzzling further into their chest.

“and on the days that you don’t feel so strong and brave, i’ll be there right beside you.”

you finally look up, glassy eyes staring up at your caregiver. “you promise?”

they smile. lips press to your temple as they say, “i promise.”

I forget to celebrate any and all trans (holi)days but celebrate every other lgbtq+ day for the same reason why I remind all my friends to eat food, drink water, and go to bed, but don't do those things for myself.

I just forget when it's about me ( ^ w ^ ")

More than ever right now, it's important that marginalized communities band together to weather the storm that bears down on us from the horizon. If we're going to make it, we have to make it together. And that means accepting each other's differences, because it is our differences that make us strong.

If you agree with this, please keep reading!

If you're in need of a community—a genuinely safe one, well-established with years of history to back up its claims—I encourage you to join my Discord Server and/or follow my Twitch. I go live every Monday, Friday, and Saturday from 6-10pm CST to play games with my chat, talk, listen to music, and narrate stories.

I can't say much about how immaculate the vibes are without sounding preachy or self-absorbed, but trust me when I say that the community of people we have are some of the best I have ever seen in my 16 years online. If you need connection, you will find it here. If you need real human connection, validation, and support, you will find it here. If you just need a space to silently sit down and absorb the ambient energy of the room, you will find it here.

Please consider joining us. You are not alone; you are strong, brave, and resilient. And if you like what you see, please consider reblogging this post so that others may see as well.

I hope you have a lovely day/night. :)

people have said "the girls and gays" so much that a lot of cishet women are under the impression that gay bars are spaces that should prioritize their comfort as well, even if they're not queer

Nothing makes me happier than meeting another lesbian irl.

Like omg hi… you’re so cool… and amazing… and please be my friend.

I'm going to preface this by saying that I have really complex feelings about this, and much of it is inspired by my personal experiences and a bit of learning about what other trans people experience. If I come across as messy, it is because of these reasons.

There's this unshakable feeling I have that when allies and even other trans people talk about trans people, transition and motivation for transition, and anything related to such, that there's only certain things that x type of trans person can (and should) experience and talk about.

Like, when people talk about FtMs/trans men/transmasc people, a common idea is that we're motivated to transition to game the system, to manipulate people into treating us better because we're now seen as men. A huge reason I never even bought into that idea is because, since transition (especially medical), I have been treated worse than I ever have been. Since transitioning and being on testosterone, I've been catcalled, had people insist I hand my number over, and I have to emphasize that I've never experienced these things until a couple of years ago (to clarify, this was in my real, corporeal life). I honestly can say that, while transition has saved my life and soul, I am treated worse by others than I ever had been pre-transition. However, because the idea of transmascs is that "they were victims of misogyny and they only want to escape it through transition" is popular even among some trans people, I feel like it's almost... taking something away by acknowledging that. Add to this that I'm white and that TPoC have so many experiences that intertwine with race, and that race absolutely goes into how trans people are treated.

I am not saying that my experience is the only valid or true one. I am very aware that I'm probably an outlier. However, I just notice that, time and time again, people hear what they want to hear about transness, and if people have even slightly different points of view from their experiences, it doesn't matter, or worse, those people are duplicitous and conniving.
