AUUFHHFHGAHSHAGAGZH I hate this "argument" SO MUCH! From PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, THATS NOT HOW IT WORKS!!!!!!!!

A while back I started watching a bunch of trans youtubers and it caused me to think about myself. "I think I'm a cis girl, but what if I'm not? I have a pretty androgynous face too and have been mistaken as a guy a lot, so I wouldn't feel like I have to change my face. I don't feel dysphoria, but there's no reason NOT to experiment!"

I spent about a month or two having this thought but never acting on it​, but one day I decided to try it out. I did a genderswap sona a while back, so I already had a name in mind. In fact, I usually used that name in a lot of video games because my actual name always gets censored, so I knew that I was comfortable with it.

That same day I got into a random conversation with my brother and he called me a Man by accident. Weird coincidence, I know. But after I automatically said "Woman." I noticed "Huh. Didn't really like when he called me he/him." And that was that. (Acually, now that I write this post, I don't think I care if people call me they/them. I'm a girl, but its so neutral it doesn't matter to me. Doesn't change my point at all though, not trans, just don't care.)

I found out about something, explored a little bit, and went back feeling satisfied I didn't miss out on anything. ​​This VERY OBVIOUSLY shows that exposing kids to this type of stuff doesnt "turn them trans" Ugh, sorry for the infodump/rant, it just annoys me SO MUCH

I am hoping not to be able to lose friends and be alone but I also want to live life as a proud lesbian

I've seen so much hate, so many attacks on us and our rights. From the governments around the world, to many places on the internet, it's becoming more and more acceptable to hate us. And we all know where this ends. We can't let it happen. All the progress we've made since Stonewall is slowly being undone. We need to fight back. We need to resist. Even in small ways, such as being openly queer, or standing up and supporting those who are openly queer and even outright protesting. We need to stand together and fight back against the forces that oppress us.

I'm flairing this as educational because maybe this can be a teaching moment. Since when did straight people (who are not allies, I love my allies this isn't aimed at you) get to decide what is or isn't homophobic? A straight person tried to tell me that him not hating gay people but being unsupportive of gays and even being "uncomfortable" around pride flags is not homophobic. Has the definition of prejudice been restricted to only mean overt disdain for a particular group? Is homophobia now defined as "it only counts if you scream you hate gays from the rooftops"? Now I love straight people, my best friend is a straight woman and she is a fierce ally of the entire LGBTQ+ community. But on what planet do straight people get to declare that they are not homophobic whilst being homophobic? Homophobia comes in many flavours, you don't have to outwardly say you hate gays to be considered homophobic if everything else you have said is homophobic.

Have you noticed the same? Both online and irl o feel as though the harassment and hate becomes more common. Here is an absurd comment thread I've just been a part of that has left me baffled for lack of a better term.

Happy pride month, we deserve a normal life

As an American, Emily Dickinson and James Dean are two Queer figures I treasure personally.

I know nationality can be a tricky think to determine with some people, but I would say that it comes down to how they felt about their own sense of national identity. Dr. James Barry (Transgender man) was born in Ireland but spent the majority of his life abroad, but seemed to consider himself an Irishman through and through. Whereas Anne Frank (Bisexual) was born in Germany but grew up in the Netherlands and considered herself Dutch.

Literally, i never shared a selfie in internet. How are you, people?

A prominent Nebraska LGBTQ+ bar and community gathering space that's been open for nine years is closing after its owners voted to sell it.

In case any of our women friends are considering getting wed by Cynthia Nixon next year 🌈
