for a while after I came out I stopped using makeup because I felt like as someone who presents androgynous/ occasionally masc, I'm not supposed to wear makeup. even though I love experimenting with makeup. even though at one point in college, I was the person who woke up to do their makeup before class. every day. but ya know what? makeup has no gender. I'm not any more/ less of a trans person just because I like painting my face. most of what it does is make me feel like I'm ready to fight the world 👊🏼🌍🌎🌏🔥 careful now ya don't wanna cut your fingers my eyeliner is hecking sharp 🗡️

since pride month is coming up, that also means we’re getting closer to the month when there’ll be 10000 posts reminding us that all the gay pride merch is just a corporate cash-in, that these corporations don’t care about us, that the world isn’t really any better, that none of the pride merch and ads actually mean anything, that it isn’t really progressive, blah blah blah

let me just say

i know. most people on here know. you are not the sole thinking person in a world of sheep. i promise you that the person you’re making all these points to has heard it 100 times 100 ways from 100 other people. we know, tumblr. we know.

but dammit, one month a year i get rainbow everything, and that’s a breath of fresh air after eleven months of straight nonsense. i LOVE seeing pride everywhere, even if it is just a corporate cash-grab. and it’s not like i can just opt out of this capitalist society, so fuck it, imma buy all the rainbow, pride-themed, gay merch i can get my hands on.

the world is a capitalist hellhole and there is no escape, so we may as well have what fun we can with it while we try and make things better.

happy pride, folks.

As an added point, a lot of sponsorships and merch go a long way toward funding local LGBT agency operations, some of them for the full year. It’s not the system we want, but tanking sales of rainbow merch at pride events really only hurts local agencies! Support your local community centers and social service centers working for LGBTQ people!

I’m just going to leave this thread here from my own Twitter account last June.

Also Pride is when small businesses (like my sibling) run/owned/operated by LGBT+ get a lot of their income for the year. So if you could use your grumbles about “big corporations co-opting pride” *a valid grumble* to support small businesses run by actual LGBT folk selling Pride stuff, that’d be awesome

SPECIFICALLY THIS LAST POINT. And more and more of us are selling Pride related stuff. (I’m not gonna go the cheap route and link my own new Pride gear here) But these days, all it takes is a little research and you can support larger businesses that are donating to lgbtq+ causes, or you can support some of us directly. EITHER OR BOTH ARE GOOD THINGS.

Companies may not care about us for the majority, but we care about each other!
