What does MOGAI mean? I googled it and all I got was a type of Romulan spaceship, but that doesn't make much sense in the context of your post I saw it on (about bi and lesbian women working together).

MOGAI = marginalized orientations, gender alignments, and intersex. it’s meant to be an all inclusive umbrella term for asexuals, homosexuals, multisexuals, trans people, and intersex people. it’s a bit easier to type than LGBTQIAP+, and i think it feels more equal/inclusive.

Okay, I realize this hilariously late for Asexuality Awareness Week (which was last week), but due to unforeseen stressors, it didn’t really get done in time.

Anyway! I’ve wanted to do something like this for a while, and I’m proud of myself of actually getting a six page comic done within a week. (Not that it’s really anything super fancy, but it’s better than nothing lol) I do apologize for the massive ugly text wall that is page four but I had a hard time figuring out how to convey it visually while being kind of pressed for time. oh and the occasional copy/paste, I’m sorry for that too

Enjoy! Click on the separate pictures if the text is hard to read.

Click through to read the whole thing if you’re interested in the representation of LGBTQ people in YA books, because it’s complicated!

For a friend who had troubles keeping track of the different sexual orientations. Sorry for not including all of them, I included the most common ones.

The illustration for Poly, Bi and Omni are just examples, of course.

Here’s the sexuality section of the posters my GSA will be putting up around the school!

These posters are by no means exhaustive and I only put the bare basics of each sexuality on the poster. If there’s a glaring error in a definition or something please tell me so I can fix it before we put these up in real life!

The Walt Disney Company will pull Boy Scouts of America funding in 2015 because of a membership policy that bans gay leaders, the entertainment company said.

After counting up all the ‘votes’ for each variation of my nonbinary flag (to be separate from the genderqueer flag), it seem this is the most loved! Yay!

Once again, here is the key for the colors:

White is the photological presence of all color/light. This is to represent people who are many or all genders.

Black is the photological absence of color/light. This is to represent agender or genderlessness.

Purple represents the fluidity and multiplicity of many gender experiences, the uniqueness and flexibility of nonbinary people, as well as representing those whose gender experiences include being of or between female and male.

Yellow is representative of being outside the binary, as it is a color often used to distinguish something as its own.

After all the discussion I’ve had with others on the best colors, arrangements, and descriptions possible, this is the final product. Hope you all like!

Important!  (I’m using it for my creative writing right now)

Finally >:T I am a proud Demisexual! And I always have a hard time explaining it to other people, let alone myself some times? But this makes it really easy ^^ please reblog and share this.

I think this speaks for itself. Accepting a person doesn’t mean you get to put limits on their freedom. You can’t be an ally and want us to stop talking, or labeling, or demanding to be heard. 

Acceptance has no exceptions. Period.

And we deserve to experience love fully, equally, without shame and without compromise. (x)

These are the companions to the sexuality cards I created a few weeks ago: GENDER BUSINESS CARDS.

Fuck yeah. 

The opposite side to these cards are pronoun based, like the final image. I have pronoun sets of:

She/Her

He/Him

They/Them

Ze/Hir

Ey/Em

These pronoun set will be uploaded in a separate post since tumblr only allows for 10 images per photoset. 

To get the whole “business card experience,” print your two selected cards double-sided. Cut them out, and bam. You’re in business. (I’m so sorry for the pun. It was necessary.)

Thank you to everyone in the trans*, genderqueer, and beyond communities for teaching me and helping me on my journey! Your help was greatly appreciated, and these would have never been possible without the people who contacted me and gave me advice and guidance. You guys rock!
