anyone else not planning on coming out in depth to family? bc, they know i’m a lesbian, but they would never understand that i want to take t and get top surgery and be the boyfriend/husband in the relationship. the first time i tried to tell a family members that i would like to look more masculine, the only thing she said to me was that my face was so pretty, i don’t need to change it. i told my siblings they could use any pronouns for me and call me myles. never hear anything but she/her and my other (not deadname) name. yeah. we love tolerant, but not supportive families.
old people are so miserable. “back in my day, we blah blah blah. all you millennials and gen-z’s are so soft.” yall can’t handle seeing pride flags from a distance without going off about how mislead the youths are
“we just ate what we were given.” yet you always snuck broccoli and cauliflower to the dog bc it was ‘too crunchy’.
“we were outside from dusk till dawn” peoples own yards aren’t safe anymore.
Take care of yourselves everyone 💚🏳️🌈
Let’s not forget he is a felon and a rapist...😏👇🏾

Yo, correct me if I am wrong please, but didn't Hitler rise to power because he promised to fix the German economy and people really liked that so they looked past everything else he was doing??? Like exactly what's happening in America right now???
So many people said they voted for Trump, put a truly evil person in power, because he said he'd fix the economy, and a little voice in my head is going, "Isn't that what happened with fucking Hitler??"
But I've seen no one point that out so maybe I'm miss remembering???????
i’m so sick of white people letting casual racism pass bc they don’t want to cause problems. idc if the entire building (we’re at work) starts hating me for it. i’m gonna tattle. “i get why you would, though” yeah, the same reason you should. people shouldn’t be racist to people who can’t stand up for themselves (we work with people with physical and mental disabilities). it’s disgusting.
"Lesbian means exclusive attraction to women!"
"No, it means non-men exclusively attracted to non-men!"
"It actually means queer attraction to women!"
"Lesbian means women and nonbinary people being exclusively attracted to other women and nonbinary people!"
Lesbian is a multifaceted label that can describe many different experiences. There is no one perfect definition of lesbian that will encompass the entire diverse experiences that lesbians can have.
I'm personally a genderqueer woman who's exclusively attracted to other women, but the lesbian next to me might be a transmasc lesbian who loves all genders except for men. And the lesbian next to them might be a bigender lesbian who's both a girl and a boy, who's exclusively attracted to women. Our experiences can all be described by the term lesbian if that's how we wish to describe it, but we might define it differently based on our own experiences. And guess what?
None of our definitions are wrong, but none of our definitions will encompass every other lesbian's experiences. A word can have multiple definitions without any of the definitions being wrong. And those definitions can be very vague or very specific. Labels are made to fit us- we aren't made to fit labels.
People who may have a different experience with the lesbian label are not your enemies. People in lesbian spaces who aren't exactly like you are not your enemies. The problem comes when you try to force one singular definition on every single lesbian. THAT is harmful. Sending death threats to other lesbians because they don't have the same experience as you is harmful. Not another lesbian having a different experience from you.
If you think it's inappropriate for trans women to also identify as twinks or femboys, you're not ready for queer discourse.
If you think it's inappropriate for trans men to also identify as butch lesbians, you're not ready for queer discourse.
Step back and let trans folks find a home in whatever identity we feel comfortable in. If a trans person renounces everything to do with their birth sex, awesome. If they still identify with parts of their birth sex, awesome. If you accept pronouns and name changes, you should understand that queer people know our own identities better than anyone trying to enforce them for us. Shoving queer people into boxes is bad whether you're on the left or the right.
