We have a duty to fight for our freedom! We have a duty to win! We must love and protect each other! We have nothing to lose but our chains!
This is a revolution of revelations! I would love for this video to circulate so hard that it reaches @ladygaga because I would love to know what she thinks about this performance. I think she would fucking love it!
Moments after President Joe Biden was sworn into office, the White House website was updated to be more inclusive to those who identify outside of the gender binary.
“According to a 2020 study from LGBTQ suicide prevention organization Trevor Project, "1 in 4 LGBTQ youth use pronouns or pronoun combinations that fall outside of the binary construction of gender.” 🌈

This is not the first time Bill Whatcott has hosted an anti-LGBT demonstration on university campuses.
Today, students drowned out a small anti-transgender demonstration that took place mere steps from UBC’s Pride installation outside the Nest.
Two individuals not affiliated with UBC came to campus this afternoon with materials denying the existence of transgender people, while stressing conservative Christian values.
“I’m protesting censorship on university campuses and human rights commissions, and the imposition of transgender ideology and the inability to be able to freely speak out on this topic, as evidenced by some of the responses,” said Bill Whatcott, a demonstrator and well-known anti-LGBT activist.
This is not the first time Whatcott has hosted an anti-LGBT demonstration on university campuses, having appeared at the University of Calgary and the University of Regina in 2016.
Around a dozen UBC students responded by chanting “trans rights are human rights” and “trans bodies are safe here.” Some carried large Pride flags to block the demonstration from view.

China is putting Uyghur Muslims into Concentration Camps
This is one of the greatest attrocities and oppression taking place in the world today yet still it is one of the least talked about issues. It’s estimated possibly over 2 million Uyghur Muslims have been put into these concentration camps which China calls “re-edcuation camps” and the goals is to wipe out and clean them from their cultural and religious identity. They have built dozens of these camps with fortified walls and barbed wire fences which they hide from the world media.
China sees Islam as an ‘ideological disease’. Many of the people put in these camps don’t make it out alive due to to the harsh living conditions inside. Many leave behind children who are then sent to government run orphanages and are brainwashed from a young age removing their cultural and religious identity.
Uyghur Muslims can be arrested and put in these camps for the smallest of reasons and every step they take is monitored by the authorities. Facial recognition cameras and high tech equipment has been deployed in East Turkestan turning it into a complete surveillance state. This isn’t fantasy or ‘fake news’. This is happening now in East Turkestan. Don’t let history repeat itself. Share and let the world know the truth.

People need to realize that there’s a difference between straight people and Straight People™
Straight person: Hey, you got a new haircut. Looks really good.
Straight Person™: No homo, but your haircut looks good on you.
In case you were confused 👌
Just like how there are white people who are gay and then there are the White Gays
White people who are gay: “I’m gay.”
White Gays: “I can’t believe I got accused of racism after calling that person a racial slur! I mean, I know what racism looks like because I’ve been discriminated for my sexuality. How is me being racist even possible? I’M GAY!”
Lmao all the angry White and Straight people in the comments, keep reblogging

Have been looking for this forever
Once again I feel a pull back to Christianity, before remembering how ignored or sidelined my Lady is there. Even in the Gnostic circles that claim to celebrate Her ‘equally’ seem to forget about Her most of the time. My heart goes out to those Christian mystics who do seek the Divine Feminine (Sophia, Mary, Magdalene, Eve, whoever) and struggle to find a place. I’m not going to try to convert you to Filianism because if your heart is in Christianity I wouldn’t wish to change that.
Just know if you ever need anyone to wax lyrically about your love for the Mother and Daughter the same way the rest of them do about the Father and Son - I’m here. :)
Am also tempted to start a Sophian discord for all those devoted to Her; be they Filianist, Janite, Christian, Gnostic or Pagan.
I could be the one to make you feel that way, I could be the one to set you free!!!
We must stand up for ourselves and face our oppressors in a non-violent way. We must celebrate who we are in such an undeniable way that our lives will never be forgotten. We will not censor ourselves to comfort the ignorance of our oppressors. We will take our stand for justice! I have noticed that the trans community is often left behind by the rest of our community when it comes to social justice and equality. Let us remember, that two trans women of color had the courage to stand up and fight back by throwing bricks at the police during the raids on Stonewall. I stand in solidarity with Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera!
Qween Amor dancing to “Hero” by Chad Kroeger at the Union Square 14th street subway platform and a man opened a canister of confetti. We must celebrate who we are and embrace the life that we have.

Then Mary [Magdalene] wept and said to Peter, “My brother Peter, what do you think? Do you think that I thought this up myself in my heart, or that I am lying about the Savior?”
Levi answered and said to Peter, “Peter, you have always been hot-tempered. Now I see you contending against the woman like the adversaries. But if the Savior made her worthy, who indeed are you to reject her? Surely the Savior knows her very well. This is why he loved her more than us. Rather let us be ashamed and put on the perfect man and acquire him for ourselves as he commanded us, and preach the gospel, not laying down any other rule or law beyond what the Savior said.”

Earlier I got a request for lesbian and asexual edits of this post. I changed the background color to gray in order to accommodate flags with black stripes.
(Image description: a gray background with pride flags on the left side of the image and green text on the right side which reads “still here, still queer, won’t be erased.” The post includes the nonbinary, asexual, more color more pride rainbow, bisexual, lesbian, pansexual, genderfluid, bigender, aromantic, and intersex pride flags.

TW Don’t kill yourself today
Don’t kill yourself today
Because your Netflix trial still has a week left
Don’t kill yourself today
Because no one else will finish off the chicken in the fridge
Don’t kill yourself today
Because I know for a fact that Starbucks is releasing a new Frappuccino sometime next month
Yes, your mother will miss you
Yes your bully will make a sappy Facebook post about how what a a wonderful person you were
And yes
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem
You know that
You’ve known that
Everyone and anyone has been shoving that down your throat since they first learned what the word suicide meant
So don’t kill yourself
Until you finish your shampoo and conditioner at the same time
Don’t kill yourself
Until Doctor Who is finally cancelled
Don’t kill yourself
Until you tell someone your best pasta recipe
Don’t kill yourself
Because I will keep coming up with reasons for you not to
And I need you
To hear all of them
Don’t kill yourself
I love you
You’re important
It’s a bad day
Not a bad life
There is more to this
The world will keep spinning on its axis without you
But
Think of all the sunrises you’d miss
I know this sounds pointless
But when you’re sitting in front of everything deadly you own
Revising your goodbyes
There will be too much darkness
To see anything else
But this is not about seeing anything else
This is about turning off the lights
This is about finding the bed instead of the noose
This is about giving yourself one more day
Even if it takes ten thousand of those
One more morning’s
Until
“I can’t wait for tomorrow”
This is about staying alive
Because there’s gonna be a new Marvel movie
No one should miss that
This is about staying alive
Because the future is coming
And it’s ready for you
I don’ t need you to see it
I just need you to believe you can make it
Until then
- Hannah Dains
Everyone needs to see this. I dont care what kind of blog you run or what kind of person you are. You can take the few seconds to reblog this. I know some of my followers will need to see this, and so i will reblog for them. Even if its just one or two, they deserve to see this, and to be happy. Always reblog. Always.
What Am I?
“I feel [thoughts, feelings]. What am I?”
We can’t answer that. The only person who can…is you. However, we are able to suggest terms you may identify with and encourage you.
Maybe your friend said she doesn’t think you seem non-binary, or your mom said you don’t act like a trans guy would so you can’t be trans. It can be hard to do, but you need to push those comments aside and trust in yourself.
Don’t let other people’s opinions determine how you identify- they aren’t the one in your head having your experiences and feelings, you are. And again, you are only one who can figure out your gender.
If you can’t meet other trans people in real life, we would recommend following trans people on tumblr or other social media. You can find plenty of people who would be willing to talk to you about your gender or their own experience with questioning. And this is a free Virtual Gender Identity Support Group you could join!
What label should I use?
Gender identities:
NB Flowchart
Long list of genders
Neurogenders
Sexual orientations:
Sexualities
Non-binary sexualities
Mlm, wlw, nblnb, etc
We also have tags for different genders or sexualities (such as /tagged/bigender) if you want more info.
Go to your browser like Chrome or Safari and type https://transgenderteensurvivalguide.tumblr.com/tagged/InsertIdenity if you can’t search the blog on your mobile app!
“I didn’t suspect I am trans until I was [x age], so am I still valid?
Yes! Not everyone realizes they’re trans in childhood, and that’s totally okay. Some people realize as children, some people realize during puberty, some people realize in high school, some people realize as adults, and it’s all valid.
Even our mods had different ages of discovery (When did you know you were trans?) and that’s totally normal!
Check out the trans umbrella for a definition of trans identity if you’re not sure you know what it means.
Here are a few basic steps to get you started on your journey:
Daydreaming. Think of the future; maybe you have the perfect occupation, or children, or life partner(s), or all three? Or perhaps you’re supreme dictator of Earth? No matter where you are, what do you look like? A man, a woman, someone in between, both, neither, etc.? The image you have in mind could be indicative of who you feel you are, or who you want to be.
Stating your gender. Look in the mirror. State, “I am a boy/girl/etc.,” or, “I am not [assigned gender].” Does it feel right? Does it feel comfortable? This could be indicative of who you feel you are, or who you want to be! There’s nothing wrong with questioning and trying on a label for a while to see if it fits you.
Being called your chosen name/pronouns. (Please note that you do not have to change your name or pronouns to be transgender.) Think of a close friend who you trust and feel would support and respect you during this time. Say to them, “I am questioning my gender and I would like you to call me (insert name here) and use (insert pronouns here) for me when other people aren’t around.” A good friend will agree. If it feels right for them to call you your chosen name, that could be an indicator.
It will feel weird at first to have your friend call you your chosen name, but you’ll get comfortable with it if it is right. The same goes for your gender pronouns! There’s definitely an adjustment period so don’t get discouraged if it doesn’t click immediately.
However, you don’t have to tell your friends right away. There isn’t a time limit before it’s too late to come out, and you can come out whenever you’re ready to do so. If you aren’t ready to tell friends that you’re questioning, these three websites will help you practice pronouns:
http://www.practicewithpronouns.com (TW for some disturbing sentences, they’re modeled after the Welcome to Nightvale podcast)
https://minus18.org.au/pronouns-app/
http://www.pronouns.failedslacker.com/
Experiment. For people or beings who think they may be transmasculine, you could pack with a sock, purchase a chest binder, dress in “masculine” clothing, or talk to masc-identified people or beings! For people or beings who think they may be transfeminine, you can try on makeup, dress in “feminine” clothing, or talk to femme-identified people or beings!
You don’t need to rush into anything. You can try things for as long as you want.
Gender expression ≠ gender identity, as shown on the genderbread person, so course it’s valid to be both gender non-conforming and a trans person, like being a trans guy who likes dresses, or a trans girl who is a tomboy, and liking a feminine or masculine presentation doesn’t inherently make you trans.
If you decide you’re not trans, you’ve still had an adventure into gender that likely widened your understanding of your own self and your understanding of other people- no harm done.
Being yourself is important, even if you end up identifying as cis instead of trans, so don’t worry about whether you’re “allowed” to bind/paint your nails, etc, and just do whatever makes you feel comfortable because everyone is allowed to express themselves in whatever way they want to, and that includes cis people.
Research. If you don’t know much about being transgender, look here to start. Google is your friend! Check out videos on YouTube, talk to people who are on hormones or have had surgeries, or check out our trans-masculine resources or our trans-feminine resources.
Look into surgeries and hormones, if this is something that interests you- but don’t actually start the process of getting them until you’re 100% sure it’s what you need. Just becoming aware of your medical transition options might help- if you feel like it’s something you might want, then that might be an indicator of your identity. But please note that you do not have to want to get surgery or go on hormones to be transgender.
Avoid online “gender quizzes” that ask you stuff like your personality and your height or your hobbies to figure out if you’re trans. They’re pretty much nonsense- only you can figure out your identity, and the quizzes tend to rely on stereotypes and did we mention nonsense?

One in Every 137 Teenagers Would Identify as Transgender, Report Says
You don’t have to be super-duper uncomfortable with being the gender you were assigned at birth to be allowed to identify as trans. If you would be happier or more comfortable identifying as a different gender, you’re still trans enough. Gender euphoria is a thing!
There’s nothing wrong with questioning your gender, and it doesn’t hurt other trans people or take away from the community or anything. In the end, you’ll have just learned more about yourself and about the trans community- and that’s a happy ending regardless of whether you end up deciding you’re trans or cis.
If you have any further questions, feel free to ask us, but we can’t tell you who you are since only you can know that. Remember, it’s okay to take your time to figure it out and the way you feel now is valid and important!
