A Spectrum of Identity

[riseabovedefeat]

In case you needed to hear this today:

You are not alone.

You are strong.

You are beautiful.

You are worthwhile.

You deserve good things.

You matter.

You are important.

I care.

[riseabovedefeat]

Both gender and sexuality are a spectrum.  There are no fixed boundaries except personal feelings and experiences.  When someone tells you how they identify respect that.  Honor that.  And never judge them.

This list is not all inclusive, there may be genders and sexualities that I don’t know about, that doesn’t mean they don’t exist, but I wanted to start a list to show how expansive the gender and sexuality human experience is.

Gender

Agender

Non-Binary

Genderfluid

Genderqueer

Transgender

Cisgender

Demigender

Sexuality

Lesbian

Gay

Bisexual

Pansexual

Queer

Asexual

Aromantic

Demisexual

Again this list is just what I know, not an all inclusive list of every possible identity.  If someone comes out to you fucking respect their identity.

For instance I am a Non-Binary Lesbian 

[riseabovedefeat]

I have recently come out to a couple friends as non binary (they already knew I am a lesbian) but the one thing I don’t know yet is which pronouns I prefer.  I am perfectly fine being called she/her but I have been thinking about also being called they/them and I don’t know if it feels right yet.  Has anyone else experienced this?  I feel most comfortable wearing unisex clothing, never really in anything feminine but also I don’t identify as male at all just kind of inbetween I guess.

Covid post

So this past week I lost a cousin to Covid-19. He died Wednesday morning (September 8th 2021).  He was unvaccinated.  This is a plea to everyone and anyone who is eligible to be vaccinated, please get the vaccination.  It saves lives.  My cousin would still be alive if he had his shot.  

[riseabovedefeat]

PSA:  Get the COVID-19 vaccination.  Just fucking get it.  You want life to return back to normal?  Get the shot.  Too many people have lost their lives to this illness.  Too many families forever changed.  If you are eligible to get the shot get it.  If you won’t do it to help others, do it to save your own life.  Covid is not something to be trifled with.  Take it seriously.  I just lost my cousin to Covid-19.

No matter your gender if you masturbate that is valid and you are human do you

Also

No matter  your gender if you don’t masturbate that is valid and you are human so do you

Some people do it some people don’t do it, there is no right or wrong

Hey guess what?

Your identity is valid.

[aspectrumofidentity]

You are beautiful 

You are special

You are valid

You are important

You matter

You are loved

You are not alone

You are part of the community

[aspectrumofidentity]

If you don’t fit the stereotype of your identity guess what you are valid and part of the LGBTQ+ community.

Your identity doesn’t have to fit the stereotype to be valid.  It just has to fit you. If you identify as it then you are it.  No questions asked.

bisexuality and pansexuality can coexist shut the fuck up and let people live

[aspectrumofidentity]

In the closet?  Your identity is valid.

Out to some people but not others? Your identity is valid.

Out to everyone? Your identity is valid.

Out about one part but not others? Your identity is valid.

Questioning? Your identity is valid.

Did your identity change? Guess what? Your identity is valid.

Your identity will always be valid no matter how many people know, or who knows what.   Your identity is yours alone.

[aspectrumofidentity]

Your identity is your own.  It is valid even if you never tell anyone.

Trans women are women.

Trans men are men.

Don’t be a TERF or bigot in general.

Trans and haven't had surgery yet? You are valid, your identity is valid.

Trans and don’t want the surgery? You are valid, your identity is valid.

[aspectrumofidentity]

Nonbinary people who are attracted to women? Valid

Nonbinary people who are attracted to  men? Valid

Nonbinary people who are attracted to  other nonbinary people? Valid.

Nonbinary people who are attracted to two or more genders? Valid.

Nonbinary people who are not attracted to any gender? Valid.

Non-binary people can have dysphoria in a way that makes them transmasculine.

Non-binary people can have dysphoria is a way that makes them transfeminine.

Non-binary people can have dysphoria in a way that makes them without a gender or as a mix of them.

And non-binary people can call themselves trans, but they don’t have to call themselves trans if they don’t want to.

Non-binary pronouns are valid.

Dysphoria isn’t something that only binary trans people deal with.

There is more than one way to be non-binary.
