A sequel to this post. All banners are inspired by comments and tags people have left on the original post.

[ID: a series of 6 banners with white capitalised text over different rainbow backgrounds (except for the last image, which as a black background with a crescent moon) that read, in order: "queer as in fuck you", "self-identifying is self-empowerment", "changing labels doesn't mean you lied before", "my journey with queerness is my business", "labels aren't mandatory", and "so what if it's a phase?" End ID]

These are free to use with credit. I tag all my queer banners as #queerness for the soul.

I'm accepting banner suggestions during this pride month, so send yours my way and I may do it! 🌈

It's in the entire trans community's best interest to destigmatize detransition.

These banners are free to use with credit on Tumblr. Please ask me before using them outside of Tumblr.

[ID: a series of 10 banners with colourful backgrounds that read, in white, capital letters: "detransitioning but still trans", "detransitioned but still trans", "detransitioning but still an ally", "detransitioned but still an ally", "nondysphoric but still trans", "closeted but still trans", "questioning but still trans", "detransitioning doesn't equal failure", "detransitioning can be an act of self-love", and "destigmatize detransitioning". End ID]

And that's that on that.

Apparently I wasn't done 🤔

These are FABULOUS, OP, but can I suggest one to the riff of "QUEERNESS IS NOT DEFINED BY THE AMOUNT PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED"?

Thanks! Here you go 🥰

Some other additions:

And because @surfs-up-roxy wanted an ace one:

I didn't want to make the message ace-specific because I wanted to make a point of how all of the above include aspec people, but I tried to use an ace colour palette for the background :) I also think the message applies especially (even if not exclusively) to the ace community!

Hope you like these 🥰

@rockmarina possibly “all labels were made up at one point, stop being an ass”?

I played around with the concept a bit, I hope you like it anyway!

I feel like this also needs to be said:

[ID:

Image 1: (in white text, on a background of rainbow watercolors) Gatekeeping hurts queer people who are questioning.

Image 2: (in white text, on a background of rainbow paint strokes) Gatekeeping hurts more queer people than it protects.

Image 3: (in white text, on a background of pastel watercolors) How about you let people question their gender and sexuality in peace.

Image 4: (in white text, on a photo of the rainbow pride flag flying in a blue sky) People don’t owe you a chronicle of their life experiences and feelings for you to decide whether they belong in their own community.

Image 5: (in white text, on a marbled pink background) I don’t know how to tell you this, but you are not the queer police.

Image 6: (in white text, on a background of multicolored textile) Stop siding with our oppressors.

Image 7: (in white text, on a photo of pieces of chalk arranged in a rainbow on asphalt) Not every queer person’s experiences need to be like yours.

Image 8: (in white text, on a background of shiny, rainbow chunks of metal (?)) Mind your own damn business.

Image 9: (in white text, on a mottled black & rainbow background) Let people change labels.

Image 10: (in white text, on a photo of a full moon in a dark sky) There’s no such thing as not being queer enough.

Image 11: (in white text, on a background of paint strokes in pink, white, magenta, purple and dark blue, the colors of the genderfluid pride flag) Vocabulary is designed to be constantly reinvented as human societies evolve, and labels aren’t the exception.

Image 12: (in white text, on a background of pink, purple, and turquoise) Gatekeeping is a product of privilege.

End ID]

Thanks so much for the image descriptions!

Here's one more addition per @secretlycrazyhummingbird's suggestion:

[Image description: (in white text, over a black background with trees decorated with multi-colored lights) Queer people don't have to make themselves palatable to deserve respect. End ID]

And another one, per @mixed-bag-of-tricks's suggestion!

[Image description: (in white text, over a wooden background with curved boards the colours of the rainbow) It's okay to use a label even if it doesn't fit perfectly. End ID]

...you know what, I think the message of this post really boils down to this:

[ID: (in white text, over a black background with striking rainbow lights) gatekeepers are nothing but bullies. End ID]

And I'm really glad this post has helped so many people feel a bit less alone in their struggles. Bullies have made a LOT of damage in this community—have made so many of us feel like impostors, like trenders, like maybe we were making up the things we were feeling—and it makes me so happy we're all pushing back against their hateful, narrow-minded, queerphobic rhetoric.

Keep it up, everyone 💪🏼

Happy pride month to the post that marked the beginning of my journey to overcoming internalised queerphobia

I feel like this also needs to be said:

What about something to the tune of “queer language is not universal, sometimes the label someone uses will repulse you and that’s still none of your business”

Hope this is close enough!

And also, because the original banners were in dire need of a little update...
