reblog to make a trans lesbian feel big loved

Getplume has disabled comments on their ads after people started using them to warn that its a predatory service, so this is your reminder that plume charges you 99 dollars a month for shit that places like planned parent hood charge way less and not monthly for, and actively spread misinformation about major health effects of hrt, such as whether or not estrogen can cause infertility in trans women (it usually does, but plume says it doesnt)

i feel like the reason everyone makes fun of trans men & men-adjacents is because the face of the trans male community is an upper middle class white boy, but that doesn’t excuse the way that people relentlessly mock “kai he/they”s and like, Basic trans boys. or infantilize them. like there’s joking about common coincidences between trans men and then there’s literaly transphobic stereotyping that erases trans men of color from the conversation. what im trying to get at is if youre cis stop making jokes about how every trans guy has a galaxy binder and is named skyler and plays ukelele and is a softboy because 1) those things arent even bad, 2) the trans men you have come into contact with are majority white and they are not the only people in our community, and 3) its not your fucking place to joke about trans people. 

cis people can reblog but dont add on

still laughing my ass off to this

Reblog to save a life- all jokes aside I know the struggle and even being out I don’t want anyone know that I’m watching something gay. Hopefully this helps someone enjoy lgbt content with a little less stress.

In case anyone is interested, the music is from Mr. Grande.

some hot takes from ur local trans f*g who also happens to be a latine anarchist‼️ these are concise so i’d be happy to expand on them in the notes if needed. On the take of online queer discourse, I do think such discourse is important! But a lot of it calls for more separatism than solidarity within a community. IRL queer spaces don’t really argue on who’s the most queer…Anyway, Happy Pride! <3

yo! just a quick thing on it/its pronouns, and how to use them, specifically when writing, because i see this mistake pretty frequently when people are experimenting with using it/its pronouns for themselves, others, or characters:

normally, when referring to someone’s possession, you use an apostrophe, right? “this is leslie’s bag” is an example. another is “max’s car is in the shop”

yeah, it/its pronouns don’t work like that.

“its” is the possessive version of the pronoun. you don’t say “those are it’s clothes,” you say “those are its clothes”

i know, the lack of apostrophe is weird because apostrophes are typically used when someone’s name— or a noun— is possessive. but if you put in the apostrophe, “it’s” becomes “it is” or “it has” which then fucks up the whole sentence and makes it confusing. because you should ONLY use “it’s” as a contraction.

here are some examples:

“twig looked at its outfit”

“benny grabbed its keys and walked out the door”

“it said it’s coming to the party, so it’s probably late”

-

tldr: “its” is possessive, “it’s” is a contraction, and messing that up could accidentally fuck up a sentence

Boyfriends is SOOO good!! I really recommend it!

so im filling out an application for this GLSEN thing and i just sort of

“Being gay is a Western Import!”

“Actually…In Ancient Egypt: you can actually find: the first recorded gay couple.

In Ancient Angola you can find: femme presenting men so much so that English travelers actually said that Angolans are ‘beastly in their living, for they have men in women’s apparel, whom they keep among their wives.’

In Ancient Nigeria: they did not have a binary of genders and they wouldn’t assign genders to babies at birth and instead would wait until later in life.

In Ghana: they had a tradition of adult men marrying younger boys and they also did not base gender on ones anatomy, but instead based ones gender on their energy.

And lastly in Zimbabwe: there are Khoisan cave drawings of gay men having sex.

In thirty different societies from Nigeria all the way to South Africa, women-to-women marriages was normalized.

Prior to colonization, there were no anti-gay laws in Africa.

So actually, homophobia is the Western Import.”

Imagine getting misgendered by your own energy 😵

I want people to stop attacking nonbinary people who describe their genders in abstract, flowery terms. And I want them to stop dismissing them as “just teenagers who don’t know any better”, too.

You know why? Because cis people do the same thing all the time and nobody bats an eye about it.

Manhood and womanhood are associated with symbols, colors, animals, astronomical objects, mythological figures, a whole list of things that have no inherent gendered properties, and that’s fine. (A lot of those symbols are stereotypical, but some binary people still embrace them, while others have come up with alternate symbols that better reflect what being a man or woman means to them.)

If men and women can describe their genders in abstract, symbolic, poetic terms, so can nonbinary people.

The idea that men and women can do this but not nb ppl is enbyphobic.

If you are okay with men doing x, and you are okay with women doing x, but you draw the line at nonbinary people doing x you probably have a problem with nonbinary people.
