So my parents suspect I'm nonbinary because *gestures vaguely at all of me* but they won't just ask me about it so I've just been watching them gently test me over the last couple years. But last night was by far my favorite.

My dad, unable to look me in the eye, stumbled as he asked me if I would want a full length kilt or a knee length kilt.

These are the two genders folks

Intimate photos of agender youth challenge society’s gender norms

“I think a lot of people like to see gender as this scale of blue and pink,” Emma, a 20-year-old college student, told the magazine. “I never really identified with either side of that, or even in between blue and pink. It’s so much more complicated — my identity varies so much on any given day. Sometimes I tell people I’m gold or something.”

I appreciate that it includes a bit from the original article, which clarifies:

“This growing community encompasses people who see themselves as agender (neither male nor female), bi-gender (both genders) and gender-fluid (shifting from male to female).”

THIS IS SERIOUSLY THE FIRST TIME I HAVE SEEN A PHOTO SET OF AGENDER PEOPLE ON THIS SITE!!!

*BOUNCES UP AND DOWN IN EXCITEMENT*

as usual there’s some gross comments so don’t scroll too far down past the article but this is otherwise good

gender? dont be silly

[unknought]

reminder that if you’re questioning your gender, “what do I want?” and “what will make me happy?” tend to be much more useful questions than “what am I, really?”

Aromantic and agender people deserve to be mentioned. Allos, alloaces, and non-agender people please reblog

hey you guys know what’s shitty!!!!

my ace/lesbian friend went to a pride festival today!!! im super happy for her!!!

the shitty part is that she left an hour in because she was scared of getting punched. for carrying an ace flag. at pride.

someone threatened her. at pride. because she was ace.

i dont wanna dabble in ~discourse~ but hey!!! maybe don’t make people scared of the community that should make them feel safe!!!! thats my hot take!!!!

If I catch anyone at pride making the event unsafe for anyone, they’re gonna catch these fucking hands. If I’ll throw down with protesters and terfs you bet I ain’t scared to defend people being harassed by gatekeepers.

[bigenderfenris]

imagine believing a lesbian should be assaulted at pride for not being visibly lesbian. imagine believing an asexual should be assaulted at pride for existing.

[cherryholley]

the stonewall inn flies the ace flag. stonewall itself supports aces.

[weirdmageddon]

​ace people were around at the time of the riots as well

“I'm excited for discussion of Stonewall this month, and I think it's important to remember that people were actively identifying as asexual

[lgtbear]

If you don’t think ace people are part of the community feel free to shove it and never open your mouth again

[thequantumqueer]

“people would think she’s just there to tell people about her sexual attraction, which is not really appropriate for the event”

exclusionists stop literally reciting homophobic talking points challenge

Reminder that if you’re a fucking exclusionist, you’re officially excluded from my blog and also fuck you.

I want a home mostly just to welcome people into it. There will be bowls of candy for guests, and the cookie jar is full. I’ll always say “I was just about to make a coffee/tea/cocoa, would you like one?” when somebody walks in. There’s lemonade and iced tea made fresh on hot days. Once it hits That Hour and they start saying they really should be going, I’ll remind them that the futon is always open, and I’m making cinnamon rolls tomorrow. There’s champagne and sparkling juice hidden on a high shelf just in case somebody announces their engagement or their pregnancy or their new job while they’re here. There is an extra chair in the living room, at the table, and on the deck, and it’s for you. I want to be able to say “if you’re ever in trouble, come to me.”

If a person I adore touched their forehead to mine I would die from the tenderness alone.

Cold is not malice, Frost is not evil; you won’t call a winter your villain because it simply exists. You say, it’s so cold? Pity on you, for your eyes can be open only when someone must warm them up.
