”mspec lesbians and gays just want to be special! i mean, you never see anyone identifying as mspec straight!”
my rambunctious ass:
every time someone says "the queer community is so complicated now" what i hear is "i'm too lazy to learn." if your allyship ends with what you cannot understand, it was never allyship.
✦﹕FEMMETWINK
for those who identify with both the femme and twink labels. this can be self-described however the identifier pleases, and represents queerness in femininity and self-love.
I, personally, don't believe any queer identity needs to have some ancient history backing up its existence (or, in the case of most arguments, history specifically from the mid to late 1900s, because as we all know that era marks to entire concept of history - beginning and end of it)
The validity and existence of queerness - in what ever form it appears in - is not contingent on it being depicted in a decrepit, antiquated 1950s newspaper made by an underground activist group. History is a constant flow with no definitive start nor end, it's the past in its entirety. It doesn't matter what point in time a queer person affirms their identity, that identity immediately becomes a part of history. Just because your identity isn't some big shot mainstreamer, put on the signs of protests from 20 years ago or found within outdated political jargon, doesn't mean it's insignificant or worthless.
I pour one out for the identities realized 5 years ago, or 8 months ago, or 3 weeks ago, or 2 days ago, or in the last hour. I give a nod to the identities with thousands of mentions in media just as I give a nod to those who've only ever been mentioned once. I shake the hand of the queer person who uses the most personalized amalgamation of labels, creating a never-before-seen identity. Queer history is in constant motion, and there's no requirements for queer experiences to be historical in order to be, well, experienced.
“When she (lesbian) and (gay) I had our first (heterosexual) kiss In the doorway of her midtown apartment, we were cautioned by a cop (straight?) I wonder if she found it as funny as I did; is Manhattan so uptight that a (straight) kiss is frowned upon?” - Laurence W. Thomas
(published in “Anything That Moves”, 1991)
✦﹕BUTCHBOY
a general flag for anyone who identifies as both a butch & a boy, for any reason. this can be self-described however the identifier pleases, and represents queerness in masculinity and self-love. alternate versions are placed below the readmore

say it with me, folks:
someone else's queer identity is not about you.
someone having an identity you don't like or agree with doesn't invalidate your own.
repeat.
Dog gender lesboy flag!!
*"Multigender people" includes all people who experience multiple genders, whether simultaneously or sequentially, even if you don't necessarily identify with the multigender label specifically.
If you experience multiple genders sequentially (i.e. you are genderfluid), answer with the total sum of genders that you are fluid between. For example, if you are fluid between two genders, pick "2" even if you only experience one at a time.
•••••••••••••••••••••••
**"All" genders only includes genders which are accessible to your life experience. For example:
- This would exclude Two Spirit if you are not an Indigenous American, and have no ties to Indigenous American culture.
- This would exclude intergender if you are not intersex.
- This would exclude neurogender if you are not neurodivergent.
These are just a few examples. Exclusions apply to any gender which is not accessible to your life experience.
if you're waking up like me thinking "where do we even go from here?"
you:
- build community & involve yourself locally
- learn self sustainability skills
- choose kindness
- protect others & yourself
- join or build a mutual aid group and/or network
- find time for small joys (the arts, cooking a meal you love, spending time with loved ones, etc.)
you get to feel all the despair you want in this moment. but tomorrow morning you have to get up and resume the work. pick any of the above options. come up with your own meaningful ways to connect with the people around you so you all have support, no matter what happens in the future. give yourself something good to work towards.
