My existence is not politics.
In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don't let them pretend we never existed.
P.S: Don't like! Reblog! <3
EDIT: Well this got a lot of attention! I got a few users asking to print or repost my art and I am unimaginably grateful to everyone's interest, especially since it's a really simple drawing I made on a whim haha! Anyone who is looking to print these out to hang or hand out or repost on another platform is free to do so, although I ask you to credit me and let people know it's from my Tumblr profile! If anyone wishes to do anything else with my art or post and wants to clarify what I consent to then they can message me privately and I'll explain! <333 all my love to my queer siblings
Stuff like this needs to be talked about more
Freindly reminder that you can't hate men without being queerphobic. You can't think men are inherently more dangerous, violent or sexual, or any of the other things people say about men without being inherently queerphobic.
You can't think these things about men without branding mlm as outsiders who will always be unwholesome and dangerous without women to "civilize" them.
You can't think these things about men without thinking of wlw who are more masculine as being inherently lesser for being like men.
You can't think these things about men without making most transfems seem suspect for having masculine traits, or forcing trans women to prove themselves female enough to be valid.
You can't think these things about men without telling transmascs that they are inherently degrading themselves by transitioning, or forcing them to deny their transition to be supported.
You can't think these things about men without basically calling all enbies female, and then calling all masc enbies dangerous.
You can't think these things about men without easing aspec men and/or calling their identities into question.
You can't think these things about men without basically telling intersex people they don't exist, and making intersex women feel lesser for having male traits.
If you hate men you will hate every letter in the LGBTQIA for having traits in common with men. Feminism that views men as the enemy will inevitably be Feminism only for cishet women.
The local queer centrum asked us all to support the ban on conversion therapy in the EU initiative, so now it's My Job to do it seriously.
We still need so many signatures. Damn. So. Many. Signatures.
Come on people, we can do this!!
so, today we, russian queers, may become "extremists" by decision of russian supreme court and thus our existence will be silenced and erased. any queer activism will be impossible for us. I don't know what to do anymore. I was heartbroken when they passed the laws about "gay propaganda" and transgender people, now I'm just numb. I don't want to escape. I just want to live safely in my own country.
for them. for your siblings. for yourself. we have to fight. I believe in you, we're all in this together.
Let's make one thing clear: TERFs at large do not care about women's rights.
That is why they will complain about trans women in sport, but not about how underfunded women's sports are, how women at times are forced to play in revealing outfits for the benefit of investors, or on fake grass, making injuries more likely. It is why they complain about trans women in sport, but not cis male and at times cis female trainers accussed or even charged with sexual assault trainging female teams.
They do not care about women's rights. That is why they explicitly ask cis men who want to commit violence against women in women's brathrooms - to scare off trans women, who never really assaulted anyone. It is, why they will support rapist and domestic abusers, bullying their victims of social media, while also complaining about the supposed inherent danger of trans women.
They do not care about women's rights. That is why they stay silent on fascist regimes trying to persecute women who abort or loose pregnancies, or even on those regimes trying to just receive safe healthcare.
They do not care about women's rights. That is why they do not push for better diagnostic criteria and medication for women - specifically also neurodivergent women, while they fearmonger about what they suppose are "girls forced to be boys".
TERFs do not care about the rights or safety of women. That is why they would rather hunt down a minority, who is far more likely to be victim of all forms of violence rather than the perpetrator, than stand up to those cis men who have assaulted, violated, and at times killed many, many women, and try to make this violence against women legal.
There is a reason why TERFs cheer for men like Trump, and Musk, and those like them. And that is, that they never cared about women's rights to begin with.
Write👏trans👏essays👏
Write them. Just do it. Write essays asking questions about trans identities in media and literature. Write them about trans history and its impacts. Write them about scientific findings on trans identities. Write them about yourself! And your own trans experiences! It's a great way to examine your own thoughts on your identity.
Right now, when so many misconceptions on trans identities are being pushed onto us, I feel like we need these resources more than ever. Even if you don't think you can write, even if you think essays are boring. You don't have to share them with anyone, but just doing the research, answering questions for yourself about our existence and history is something I feel is worthwhile.
Don't let people tell you it's too controversial or that you're pulling something out of nothing. Write the essay.
To any and all trans people in the states, and especially trans kids, know it's going to be okay. We have endured in the past, and we will endure again. The biggest mistake they made was letting us know what it is to have freedom of expression, and now we know. We know what we're fighting for and what they're trying to take away from not just us but the generations of queer kids to come.
To any of the minors that may see this and who are terrified for their future, we care. We see you, and we love you, and we're going to keep fighting because you deserve every happy dream of a good life you have ever had.
The biggest thing I think anyone can ask of any trans or lgbtq+ person right now is just to stay with us. We're going to need your voice when we all start yelling. We need to make it fucking loud.
I promise this is probably as political as my blog is gonna get.
I recommend reading it all the way through.
Okay so incase anyone is not aware, I'm being let go from the military. I was told this past week. Ive been sitting with it and i wanted to share my thoughts.
No misconduct, no insubordination, no defying orders. I am being separated because I am trans. No, I'm not simplifying it down. It's because I'm trans, full stop.
I thought when I joined, I'd be protecting the country to which I call home. But it seems that country has betrayed me. This also doesn't just affect me. My freinds and coworkers are being forced out of their jobs. And all this isn't even a quarter. The orange shitbag in charge has been done.
He and his moronic VP had the audacity to insult the Ukrainian president to his face. The pure idiocy of letting an arrogant nazi meddle with capital funds. The bs of cutting off aid to vulnerable countries who have already been suffering for years. Aiding and abetting the invaders of those said countries. I mean this truly fuck this country.
And this all isn't only gonna affect our foreign allies and the "woke" but also the people who voted for the Toupee Tyrant. We are already seeing it with the loss of Medicare and medicaid. Trump voters in red states can't afford their medice or they're having to pay an arm and a leg for it.
The new S.A.V.E. act basically states that if you try to vote but ur current last name doesn't match the one on your birth certificate, you can't vote. Who will this mostly affect? Conservatives who believe the woman in a hetero marriage should take the man's last name.
Oh, and you also won't be able to vote showing ur State id/drivers licence. u need ur birth certificate and/or your passport. And an interesting fact, a study shows that a majority of republicans/conservatives don't have passports. And passports cost a decent amount. So have fun trying ngl to reflect him if u misplaced ur birth certificate.
Oh, and though it is to a far lesser extent, college students who voted for him. Their student financial aid is being cut if it isn't already.
What they, and by they I mean Donald Trump, VP Vance, Elon Musk(for some fuckin reason) and all the other rich 1% oligarchs, are doing is keep the masses uneducated, un medicated, and rivalled against each other.
I do not say all this to go, " HA HA, look at all those stupid republicans!"
NO!!!! I say this because we are each and every one of us in this together! We need to put our differences aside and look at what the people in power are really doing. Not what they say they are doing.
And this isn't even just a republicans call out. Democrats are to be blamed as well because they are just as much reactionaries as the republicans are.
The Dems in power care only for performative tolerance and only support the minorities living the "normal and morale" way.
Rich carrer politicians are the ones to blame! They are the enemy! They want us below them scrambling and fighting in the mud for scraps, so they walk on us and not even have to get their shoes dirty!
United, we stand against oppression! Divided, we fall!!!
hi if ur unaware georgia 🇬🇪 (where i live) has officially banned gay marriage, gay ‘propaganda’, gender reassignment surgery and anything ’promoting’ it. a trans model, kesaria abramidze, has been murdered as a direct consequence of this legislation. if you have a queer georgian in your life pls let them know they are loved and let this solidify why we Need pride and hope cause jesus fuck man
"aroace people do not exist" thank god. i am so tired of existing in late stage capitalism. thank you for giving me freedom. i shall not work or study anymore. only freeload. only nap. only eat. only bath. only sleep. only meme. for eternity.
guys from russia, my brothers, sisters, siblings.
stay hidden, stay quiet, stay safe and I hope we all survive this and one day make our country a better place for all of us not just bunch of brats sitting there and declaring how we must live.
but for now we must survive to fight another day.
Just a reminder my blog is trans inclusive. It’s bi inclusive. It is pan inclusive. It is intersex inclusive. It is ace/asexual inclusive. It is aro/aromantic inclusive. It is queer inclusive.
I don’t support terfs or exclusionists.
If you came here looking for an ally in your bigotry you came to the wrong blog. Go away. You are not welcome here.
If you are trans I need you to stay alive.
Stay alive for every other trans person fighting, stay alive for every trans person who is no longer here, and most importantly stay alive for yourself.
They don’t get to erase us! They don’t get to take away our rights, and treat us as less than human. Don’t let them erase us, and don’t let them make you a statistic. Don’t let them win.
Stay alive
If you won’t do it for yourself, then do it for others. Do it out of spite.
REMINDER TO VOTE TODAY!
No, not just vote. Vote for Kamala Harris. The lives of queer, trans, afab, people of color, non-Christian religions, disabled people, literally any minority group you can think of are at stake! We can win, we can survive this. If you are an American citizen 18 or over, vote for Harris. This isn’t the time to “send a message” by not voting. This is your last chance.
The world is bleak for Americans if Trump wins. He is not for America, he is for himself. He is for the cishet able bodied able minded white man.
I am begging you, as a queer disabled person, to vote for Harris-Walz. This isn’t the time to deliberate.
By not voting for Harris, you are voting against the above minorities. I don’t care if you “still support them”. You are directly putting us in danger. Don’t be stupid, don’t be rash, don’t put others in danger. Lives are at stake here. Please, vote now.
REBLOG THIS POST TO REACH AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN. POST ABOUT IT YOURSELF. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON’T STAY SILENT.
last night my dad told me that i shouldn’t be worrying about current events because there’s nothing i can do about anything.
this morning my mom told me that yes she knows that all of this terrible stuff going on affects me directly but i can’t let it get me down.
and then they literally ask me why i want to kill myself why i want to move out so bad why i am always so distant to them.
We shouldn't only get involved in fights that directly affect us -we should fight for everything we believe in. I know it can sometimes be a lot. Not all communities even want help from 'outsiders'. But we have to stick together. 'Cause for everything that's different about us, there's something in common for everyone.
How can we expect ALL people to make changes for our closest causes, if we're not ready to step up out of our lane even a little bit for theirs? So today I speak for everything I see is wrong in this world. And you should too.
i get people telling me im a nihilist sometimes but im really not. i just dont shy away from talking about the “negative” parts of life because i think its an important step towards change.
i dont think we are doomed, nor do i think nothing matters. im angry. im upset. and i want change. theres a difference.
i think its dangerous to loop all angry people into nihilism.
