bia, bea or cotta — ⚧∆ — ⚢ — any pronouns — biologically a dog

disclaimer: despite this being our main tumblr blog (meaning "we follow you from this account"), it's not always me, Bea, who will be interacting directly with you. Please check out our collective blog @ronrono-system to know more about us. Usually, if it's not me, either Zendere or Kai will be following/interacting with you.

𖧧 . My main pronouns are she/it, but feel free to use others. The human definition of gender has no importance to me. I am a female the same way a dog is ;

𖧧 . Marxist feminist, very weird & queer, gender non-conforming — very proud. Lesbian, aroallo and happily owned ;

𖧧 . I identify as a nonhuman being & biological alterhuman, being a golden retriever dog and spiritually an angelamb (angel lamb). Sideblogs: — @bea-dog: for transspecies and zoanthrope stuff ; — @artist-bea: for art and drawings ;

𖧧 . I use tone tags (mostly /gen [as gentle instead of genuine], /j, /srs, /nbr, /nm) and emoticons. I also have some typing quirks ;

𖧧 . I have hypermobile ehlers-danlos/hsd and it affects my daily life and hability to rest & do activities ;

𖧧 . English is not my first language. I am brazilian and, with that, south american. Mistakes happen. Do not correct me.

I'm not really worried about your content or what you post. DNIs don't work and commonly bring headache to those who check every single blog interacting with them. If it matters to you, here is some stuff I believe in:

✦ . not hurting/disrespecting anyone or anything ? Not my problem.

✦ . Supporting a lot of things ≠ supporting everything. Not everything needs to be supported; in fact, a lot of things must be fighted against.

✦ . good faith identities by themselves represent no problem to other people, even if they are "contradictory".

✦ . respecting ≠ comprehending ≠ liking something. Respect is fundamental, the latter not always.

✦ . physical alterhumanity and nonhumanity are completly valid and should not be considered a "problem to our community".

✦ . reality checking those who don't want it is harmful. CLCZs and shifters do not owe you proof or explanation of their identities.

✦ . being queer is being weird. You can't be queer without being weird or abnormal (/neu) in some way.

✦ . having a paraphilia is usually not a problem as long as you're anti-contact (if said contact is potentially harmful. If it isn't, most contact is fine).

✦ . Transandrophobia and transmisogyny are both real. Transmedicalism and trans/sex workers exclusionary radical feminism (SWERF/TERF) are not good in any way.

✦ . syscourse is stupid. Mind your own origin and let others in peace.

✦ . not everyone can get access to therapy and psychologists + psychology isn't "perfect" and usually has huge flaws, specially with ableism and unproper practice. what "isn't on the DMS-5" isn't always "invalid".

✦ . auto-diagnosis with proper research is usually better to an individual than fakeclaiming and excluding them for their auto-diagnosis.

✦ . you don't really know who's behind the screen and what this person is going through. Sometimes it's better to be kind. Be the change you want to see in the world.

✦ . "violence is never the answer" is usually something promoted by privileged individuals seeking to consolidate their power by depicting a minority as "agressive" and "bad" for fighting for it's rights.

✦ . generative AI is not good and it is controlled by really bad people that should be actively fighted against.

✦ . censorship will lead to fascism and exclusionary beliefs. Purity culture and conservatism actively predate minorities, specially queer communities.

✦ . (neo)nazism and (neo)fascism are bad and have killed a lot in the past. They still kill a lot to this day. These ideologies are inherently harmful and actively contribute in wars and hateful extremist speeches. Any identities and beliefs promoting these ideologies are as bad as they are.

The block button is a very close friend of mine. I'm not interested in changing any of my views listed above. Please don't lose your time: if you disagree with me, either coexist with me or block me and move on.

HAPPY THIRD EVER INTERNATIONAL AROMANTIC VISIBILITY DAY

HAPPY FOURTH EVER INTERNATIONAL AROMANTIC VISIBILITY DAY!!

i get that americans love their cultural imperialism, but it really does piss me off that june is “international” pride month just because something happened in the united states.

in aotearoa, june isn’t our pride, it’s theirs. marsha p johnson and sylvia rivera are their historical figures, not ours. the phrase that “you owe your rights to Black trans women” is true there, but here we owe our rights to (mostly) Māori historical figures. i have the freedoms i do because of the legacy of an entirely different set of people operating in an entirely different context at entirely different times.

But because of american cultural imperialism, most queer people in Aotearoa don’t even know our own queer history. Carmen Rupe, Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, the Dorian Society, Gillian Laundon, Georgina Beyer, and the Wolfenden Association are some of our queer history. We should know their names! we should know what they did for us! but because of the power of the american imperial machine, we don’t.

our national pride month should be july, the month that the Homosexual Law Reform Act passed in 1986. our two largest cities hold their pride festivals in february and march, respectively. american queer history has very little (or nothing, depending on who you ask) to do with our queer history. anecdotally, from my own queries, queer youth in aotearoa know more about american queer history than our own.

anyway, happy pride, americans. i’m truly sorry that most of you don’t see the negative impact your nation’s culture has on the rest of the world. and to the rest of the world reading this, try searching for your own country and culture’s queer history, don’t accept the american narratives as your own. we deserve our own histories divorced from the cultural hegemony of the USA.

HAPPY PRIDE MY BEAUTIFUL CREATURES!

Remember, you are loved, you are worthy, and you are safe here. Celebrate and be as loudly and proudly yourself as you possibly can.

There is no pride without trans people, there is no pride without disabled people, there is no pride without BIPOC people.

June 1st is TOMORROW. It means that GAY PEOPLE will exist, but only for ONE MONTH. Do not forget to buy your tickets to see them NOW, or else you will have to wait AN ENTIRE YEAR to be able to meet them AGAIN.

Thought that post was cute so i drew it

[paper-mario-wiki]

do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

[pingintech]

taking a moment to point out a large part of WHY we remember marsha p johnson in ways we dont remember silvia rivera

i think a lot of people think it was simply because she was an icon

she was

because she fought for a huge chunk of the rights we have today

she didduring a time at whoch she risked very serious risk of imprisonment and death even more than we face now

she did

and she did it all as a trans woman of color

she did

BUT notably silvia rivera did all of these things too!!! and they co founded a queer rights together the two of them called street transvestite action revolutionaries AKA STARs and yet marsha p is remembered and silvia died homeless and poor

so why remember marsha p specifically???

well we have someone specific to thank for our yearly reminder to remember marsha p

this dedicated to paye written by none other

than leslie feinberg

now zie wasnt solely responsible for it a lot of movement happened before and after to ensure we memorialize her right but its notable why feinberg asked we remembered her why the book was dedicated to her

"Dedicated to two trans warriors who fell in battle"

feinberg talked about this later in an interview

this is the section in question specifically

"KELLY: Can you tell us about the people who you dedicated the book to - Brandon Teená and Marsha P. Johnson?

FEINBERG: I dedicated the book to Brandon Teena, a young white male who was arrested by the pólice who later exposed to the town that he was born female and he was kidnapped and gang-raped and beaten by two men after this discovery and later stabbed to death along with two other people by these same two men. No one has yet carried out a community investigation into the role of the police in instigating this violence against Brandon Teena. But his death has served as a rallying cry not just for the trans communities but I think also for the lesbiangay bi communities and the women's movement to put a stop to this violence. Marsha P. Johnson, who I also dedicated the book to, was an African-American drag queen who was a combatant at the Stonewall Rebellion against pólice brutality and bigotry. She was found floating in the Hudson River a little more than four years ago. The police conducted an investigation that consisted of two phone calis and ruled her death a suicide. But when a people's postering campaign began in Manhattan and the Village we discovered reports that a group of young bashers had been surrounding her on the same piers near where she was found. So, I think that both of these people's lives are an indication that orí the one hand we don't even know how many people were killed or died under similar circumstances in the past and whose lives and deaths were rendered invisible. But Brandon Teena's and Marsha P. Johnson's deaths are a demand now for us that this cease; that we're going to put our energy into stopping this kind of violence . . . and the cover-up."*

these two trans people were not just memorable but were also killed in incredible acts of violence had their deaths barely investigated and even covered up

i hate when people make everything about trans discourse as often it just puts a wedge between us and i do not want to taint the memory of remembering the death of a most influential black trans woman by petty oppression olympics still i think its worth pointing out that as people keep trying to act as if trans men arent oppressed trans men arent in the same kinds of danger as trans women that trans men dont get killed in hate crime acts like trans women even despite the death of lucas redbeard knapp this year that we remember not only WHY we remember johnson but also i want us to remember the man whose death was first uttered in the same sentence as marsha p johnson most well known remembrance rallying cry

brandon teena a trans man whose death was incredibly violent and the end result of sexual assault that got actively covered up by police

this year i plead i beg of you all let us remember both

*notable here feinberg calls marsha p johnson a drag queen because during the era of ballroom culture when marsha was alive and the trans community was quite literally segregated drag queen/king were the terms poc used to describe themselves many went on later to identify as transgender (such as rivera did later in life) as definitions changed and grew and connotations changed and marsha p was again a co founder of street TRANSVESTITES action revolutionaries so she fully was trans
