at least can all we agree that the original gay flag with the magic and sex colours is BEAUTIFUL and it should make a comeback
whatâs more iconic than this
What about the final version of the flag by the original creator?
Gilbert Baker added a 9th stripe shortly before his death, with the new stripe representing diversity. He added this stripe in reaction to the 2016 US election. Itâs unfortunately not as well known as the 8 and 6 striped versions.
Hereâs an image of him sewing together the 9 striped rainbow flag.
Happy pride month everyone
If youre a closeted person somewhere out there thinking "I want to transition but it would be less progressive/unique/countercultural for me to be that gender instead of this one" please know that you are a real person not a character in a narrative and cant live your life based on what is good media representation. You are real you can only be yourself and theres no moral weight to any identity over another
Liberal transphobes enjoy positioning trans identities as regressive compared to cis queerness or like non-transitioning transness or anything else they can leverage to make transphobia look progressive and I think its easy to absorb that message subconciously. But in real life we just are what we are and no ranking of validity can change the fact that you have an identity that is NOT chosen and is just your unchangeable truth. Not only should you not have to live a life dictated by what is most countercultural to identify as or whatever but also: being trans is extremely countercultural and feminist and leftist to begin with and theyre only trying to convince you otherwise bc theyre bigots
"Why cant you be a feminine man society hates feminine men đĽş" and "all the butch lesbians are becoming men we need u đĽş" = stay in the closet for the noble purpose of being an abstract representation point in my new york times opinion column. You wont actually be a gnc cis person youll be a closeted trans person who uses the wrong words but I need you to do that because i hate you
Today's wasp of the day is Celonites abbreviatus!

What is the difference between a bee and a wasp? Well, to put it in the simplest wayâ bees are complete nectarivores and get protein by processing pollen and nectar in multiple ways while wasps are only nectarivores as adults and get all their protein needs out of the way as larvae by consuming bug meat. So here comes the exception; despite being more related to yellowjackets and paper wasps than they are to bees, members of the group referred to as "pollen wasps" feed their larvae a diet sourced entirely from plant pollen and nectar, just like bees. Though while bees are known for processing it and making it more of a "bread", these wasps do it more stew style.
They also sleep very similarly to scoliid wasp (which they are only distantly related to) by curling up tightly around sticks or grass

It seems that the Tumblr team has no other purpose than to delete, close, and attack the accounts of transgender people and Palestinians trying to survive genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza.
Two days ago, I was shocked to find that my blog, abdalsalam2000, had been deleted without warning and without me having done anything wrong, simply because I was asking for help from the Tumblr community. That blog was our only source of income that kept us alive in Gaza, and unfortunately, it was deleted by Tumblr employees.
In Gaza, we need at least $300 a day just to survive. After Tumblr deleted our account, this blog is all I have left. I hope you will help me by sharing this post, donating, and following this blog. Please, please help us and donate now.
Please help Nader regain his followers and the momentum he had before his previous blog was deleted. Please donate to him now and follow his blog.
Friends, please donate now! Your help is our only hope for survival. Please share this post widely and donate here now, please!
please donate to and share naders campaign!!
please help nader survive!
If you can give anything it helps a ton!
Hey everyone, the last donation was two days ago, and this post has been shared by almost 400 people, yet not a single person has donated. I'm begging you to share this post and donate now. Please don't leave us alone, and don't hesitate to donate. Please!

Thought that post was cute so i drew it
WHAT omg i love them holy shit đđđđ
neovaginas can get wet naturally
a neophallus can get erect with an implant (this will either be a bendable rod or a device that inflates with saline at the press of a button, usually in the testicles)
both can feel sexual pleasure and experience orgasm
most neovaginas will be able to tolerate larger insertions with enough dilating/training
the nerves in neophalluses take a while to regrow but it is incredibly rare to experience no sexual nerve growth
both can look and feel "normal" if that's what you want, just take good care of your scars and look at your surgeons' results portfolio (and don't be afraid to be picky! its your genitals, you get to decide!)
in fact it's possible for many people to stealth and for their sexual partners to never know. even for phallo, some people with natal penises have erectile implants too, ED is common. neocaginas are often indistinguishable from natal vaginas
many surgeons are starting to offer preservation options for patients who want a more mixed look/don't want to lose what they have
YOU HAVE OPTIONS! demystify bottom surgery
you can also have nothing, if you want!! nullification is starting to become available alongside vaginoplasty and phalloplasty
you can have nothing and retain sexual function, even! it's called nerve-preserving nullification. similarly to other bottom surgeries, they use the most sensitive tissue (glans/clit) to create a subdermal pseudoclitoris
yes you can pee like normal. urethral reroute leaves a small hole at the perineum (taint)
all the advice about scars from OP applies here too!! take care of yourself well and it can heal well
(also, for people interested in the "mixed look" OP mentioned: the magic words are "penile-preserving vaginoplasty"/"phalloplasty without vaginectomy"!!)
As someone who has had nullification done, my inbox is always open.
like people are just going to keep saying âtheyre only queer because they want to be/because it gets them off/because they think itâs fun/because they saw a queer person and thought it sounded like a good idea/etc. theyre gonna keep saying it
and we are going to have to stop desperately scrambling to say noooo, they have to be like that, they have no choice, they wouldnât be like this if they didnt have to. we HAVE to stop falling all over ourselves assuring straight people and transphobes that we hate being us as much as they hate us being us, that we are suffering and thatâs why we deserve this decadence and deviancy. we HAVE to start saying âyeah ok and?â
being queer is a delight. deviant sex makes people really happy. being genderfucky is joyful. queerness CAN actually be an option you can choose, and that doesnât make it worth less than if you only picked it with a gun to your head, because it is a good option and there are good reasons to pick it.
âTheyâre only queer because they want to beâ nice! My identity is also self-constructed because Iâm a human
frankly i hope straight people are straight because they think itâs fun and it makes them happy! the implication that one should not pursue happiness is so frustrating!
Regina George voice: So you admit it! You admit that your homophobic ideology directly opposes the right to liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
In all seriousness tho as a cis woman, I am only a woman because I love being one.

words to remember
THIS HAS MADE AN ACTUAL DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE!!
Implementing this has improved how I feel about myself, and HOW I SEE OTHER PEOPLE!!
Iâm not a burden to put up with. Iâm a person who deserves respect, but does have some idiosyncrasies.
Other people arenât barely tolerating me, theyâre being patient and considerate and working hard to be polite.
And I find that when I acknowledge the good I see in other people, they feel respected and appreciated.
sometimes instead of a horrid little monk, divine visions of lesbians dance in my head dispensing wisdom
I know this might make people mad, but absolutely refusing to even attempt to treat your mental illness, and instead just endlessly inflicting your unmitigated episodes on the people around you, is abusive. Your loved ones are not stress toys that you can just squeeze every time you feel bad. It is bad if someone says your repeated behavior is hurting them, and you take no steps to change. I know damn well that you canât always help how your brain acts, but Iâve also spent a lot of years trying to stop my spiraling brain in its tracks, work on strategies to calm down, and consider the impact Iâm having on others, because I grew up in a household with people who have the attitude of, âI have the right to consume all the attention in the house and drain your energy every single day because I feel miserable, and youâre the bad guy if you say that Iâm making you feel bad and that I need to get help. I can treat you however I want because of my anxiety.â
Your mental health is not your fault, but it is your responsibility.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you for saying this
