TDOR 2020. Each candle represents one of the 350 transgender individuals killed this year globally. The United States, where I live, had 37 cases of fatal violence against trans people. 

On this day, we remember those we have lost.

Happy International Pronouns Day! Remember: asking for someone’s pronoun is fine (and appreciated), and introducing yourself with your own pronouns is the best way to indirectly tell other people that they can tell you their pronouns as well!

after the huge amazing response I got from my ace!Jiang Cheng comic - all of the ace people saying how amazing it felt to be acknowledged, and all of the people who came to me saying that they hadn’t realised they were ace until they read the comic - I decided I wanted to make something for ace awareness week. it’s not quite as pretty or feelsy as the other comic, but there are so many people even within the LGBT+ community who just… genuinely do not understand asexuality, I figured even something basic would help :)

happy ace awareness week! please remember: everyone’s experience with sexuality is different! be kind and support each other!

I hope every lesbian who grew up being told that lesbian was a bad word finds peace and comfort and pride in the knowledge that lesbian is a good wonderful word with a deep rich meaning and history

i am a woman. i am a lesbian. i have a penis. i am dysphoric about my penis. even if i wasnt, i would be allowed to enjoy having sex with it! and my lesbian sexual partners would be allowed to enjoy it too.

being a lesbian is about loving women–even if those womens bodies have penises, or flat chests, or deep voices, or adams apples, or facial hair.

claiming that being a lesbian is about hating penises, or liking vaginas, or breasts, or anything other than loving women regardless of what their bodies are like, is disrespectful not just to trans lesbians everywhere, but to all lesbians whose bodies dont fit what society tells us women have to be, regardless of whats in their pants.

women are more than their vaginas. women are more than their bodies. women are a wonderful and diverse group of people with bodies that are as diverse as any other group. you cant ignore that, no matter what shitty ideas about womens bodies you subscribe to.

hey transmisogynists: this post does not say “you have to date us.” it says “you have to accept that we are lesbians.” not creeps, not men, not straight. that’s literally it.

u know like if ur gonna debate about intersex inclusion in the lgbtq+ community at *least* know the reasons why they get included

[strawberrygiorno]

i've been seeing the argument get misrepresented again lately, so here's an explanation - the argument isn't that intersex people belong because they're "inherently nonbinary." the reason that intersex people get included in the lgbtq+ community has more to do with atypical gender experiences, medicalization, and trans/homophobia playing a part in the oppression of intersex people. there is still a lot of debate on whether intersex inclusion is good or bad - for example it's possible for inclusion to make it easier for intersex activists to get funding, but it also may make it harder for the issues specific to them to be addressed. it could give a lot of intersex people an accepting community to be a part of, but it also could lead to intersex people being pathologized more. basically, there's not a clear cut answer. most of the intersex articles and orgs i checked out had a similar opinion to this intersex initiative page, which is that some people consider their intersexuality lgbtq+ and some don't - the stance varies among different orgs, there isn't an easy answer to whether inclusion is good or bad, and that it's fine if lgbtq+ orgs want to include the i so long as they are actually addressing intersex-specific issues. the point of this post isn't to persuade you to one side or the other, it's to say that it's complicated and that people who want to get into the actual issue need to stop simplifying it down to "people only include them because they think intersex people are nonbinary."

hey lesbians you’re not a fake lesbian if you find some men to be conventionally attractive. you were most likely raised to know what an ‘attractive’ man looks like, and you probably still recognize it. seeing a man as attractive under societies rules of ‘attractive-ness’ doesn’t make you a fake lesbian.

sometimes i think about gay people who lived centuries ago who thought they were all alone who imagined a world where they could live openly as themselves who met in secret spoke in code defied everything and everyone just to exist and i’m like..i gotta sit down. whew i gotta sit down

If this little book should see the light after its 100 years of entombment, I would like its readers to know that the author was a lover of her own sex and devoted the best years of her life in striving for the political equality and social and moral elevation of women.

Okay so I just got off the phone with them. I talked to a trans girl named Aurora & she was super helpful! She gave me a few doctors to talk to & encouraged me to seek therapy instead of just rushing to get my pills. She literally found a trans friendly therapist in my town & I would definitely recommend giving them a call!
