It wasn't "listening to doctors, they know best" that got homosexuality and transgender identity taken out of the DSM. We all know who fought for that. So why is it so insane when intersex people want to do the same.

My body does not have to be perfect to be loved by Allah (SWT)

– “Perfection” by Salamatullah Eldritch

I made a post a while back mainly talking about shitty takes from muslims on Tiktok, and ended up talking about my view of self-love, as someone who was born disabled and who has struggled with body image throughout my life. I decided a while back that I wanted to turn part of what I said into a poem and illustrate it, which was a bit ambitious, but I stuck to it. And here’s the final product. I’m pretty proud of it.

The verses in the background are the first 4 verses from Surah at-Tin, because it’s probably the verse I think about most when thinking about the idea of being made perfect.

Here is a Selection of Queer Affirming Ayat from the Quran

Unto every one of you have We appointed a [different] law and way of life. And if God had so willed, God could surely have made you all one single community: but [God willed it otherwise] in order to test you by means of what God has given you. So race to good works! Unto God you must all return; and then God will make you truly understand all that on which you differed.” 5:48

“And among God’s signs is this: God creates for you mates out of your own kind, so that you might find comfort in them, and God engenders love and compassion between you: in this, behold, there are signs indeed for people who reflect. And among God’s signs are the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your tongues and tastes: for in this, behold, there are signs indeed for those of knowledge.” 30:21–22

“Consider the winds that scatter the dust far and wide, and those heavily laden, and those that speed along with ease, and those that distribute as ordained.” 51:1–4

“And the multiplicity of all the various hues which God has created for you on earth: in this, behold, there is a sign for people who remember.” 16:13

I hope you find these affirming

Hello, this is a longshot saving life call, I am Tracy Imonje from Gaza. I am here to request for your support to help get my insulin, just an injection for today to save my life please I beg. I was diagnosed with Latent Autoimmune Diabetes and due to the current situation in Gaza I'm unable to get my insulin injection as a result I'm here begging for little financial support to help me purchase insulin for this week. My donation link is attached in the pinned post, I might have sent this ask to you earlier but kindly consider donating and sharing. This is the only option I have at the moment to save my life from going into a coma.

One aspect of having Tourette’s Syndrome that I don’t see many people talk about is how it makes being transfem more difficult. My Tourette’s is pretty severe, I can’t go ten seconds without twitching or hitting myself or barking or swearing loudly.

Everywhere I go people treat me like a freak, but whenever people stare at me I logically know that they’re staring because I just involuntarily told a stranger to fuck off, but all I can think is ‘Oh god they’re glaring at me because I don’t pass and they can tell I’m not a real girl.’ And even when I dismiss that thought the very next thought is ‘yeah it’s the ticcing that caught their attention but now that they’re watching me, it’s only a matter of time until they realise that’s not the only unusual thing about me.’

It makes it literally impossible to go unnoticed without drawing attention to myself like so many of us try to do.

It’s scary enough using the women’s bathroom as a trans girl with low self confidence, but it’s even scarier when you know you could yell “PENIS!” at any moment and there’s not a damn thing you can do to stop it.

I’m every TERF’s worst nightmare lol.

I try my best to make jokes about it and not let it get to me but it’s like two different reasons for strangers to harass me and treat me like I’m not even human.

I know I shouldn’t be ashamed of being a ticcing tranny, I’m still learning to love myself. 💜

You bet I am. Decolonize Palestine. All of it. From the River to the Sea. Uproot Settler Colonialism from our region. End Zionism.

Since the US and the West love Zionists so much to the point of worship, they can give them their own lands. Be my guest.

The Prophet ﷺ Said,

مِنْ حُسْنِ إِسْلَامِ المَرْءِ تَرْكُهُ مَا لَا يَعْنِيهِ

Beautiful Islam entails minding one's own business.

Who were the lesbian blood sisters?

“Suddenly, the hospitals were full of lesbians who were volunteering. Volunteering to go into those rooms and help my friends who were dying. I remember being so moved by them because gay men hadn’t been too kind to lesbians. We’d call them ‘fish’ and make fun of the butch dykes in the bars – and yet, there they were.”

In the 80s, the AIDS crisis was devastating the world of GLBT people - as the acronym read at the time. Gay men were banned from donating blood, which was desperately needed by patients dying from AIDS. The fear around HIV was so great that doctors and nurses refused to even enter the rooms of AIDS patients. These patients were often abandoned by their families in their dying days. There was a crisis was in the GLBT community, and so lesbians stepped in.

Lesbians organized blood drives in order to give blood to AIDS patients who desperately needed it. These blood drives attracted dozens, if not hundreds of lesbians at a time who all donated their blood. They called themselves the Blood Sisters, and they organized regular blood drives for at least 4 years. HIV patients needed frequent blood transfusions due to anemia induced from the virus, and so lesbians provided this blood.

In addition to blood drives, lesbians also took place as physical caretakers for gay men with AIDS, who were often abandoned by their families and even nursing staff who refused to go into their rooms. Lesbians held hands, fed, and took care of them.

In order to honor the efforts of lesbians during the AIDS crisis, the GLBT acronym was changed to LGBT, with lesbians deliberately at the front. Lesbians were a crucial part of the fight against AIDS, and this change would immortalize it in our community.
