“Mrs R” was the pseudonym of Phyllis Shafer, a Kansas City local who helped found the Phoenix Society for Individual Freedom in 1966, a full three years before Stonewall. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, she and her son Drew operated the Phoenix House, a safe haven for queer people in the city, and a hub of national queer activism. Drew passed away due to AIDS related complications in the 1980s, and his lover, Mickey Ray, spent the rest of his life fighting to keep his memory alive, largely contributing to the creation of the Gay and Lesbian Archive of Mid-America.

Before Stonewall, this Kansas City activist helped unite the national gay rights movement

Years before the Stonewall uprising, Drew Shafer started Kansas City's first gay rights organization and published the first LGBTQ magazine

“We tend to view American history as this constant march toward progress, which is total crap,” he says. “You gotta fight for that stuff. And if you don't fight for that, you can fall backward. Like it's not just this linear history."

Good quote from the article which may be relevant right now.

My favourite example of the domino effect

Allow me to explain:

Gerard Way witnesses 9/11 and as a consequence, starts My Chemical Romance

Stephanie Meyer sees My Chemical Romance and becomes inspired to write Twilight

Somewhere in Rio de Janeiro, a man by the name of Felipe Neto is so outraged by the Twilight movies that he makes a hate video about them that goes so viral he becomes one of Brazil's biggest YouTubers

His brother Luccas Neto rides off his fame and becomes a children's YouTuber

Across the Atlantic, Portuguese children become obsessed with his videos. Like the lusophone Jake Paul

Portuguese children watch his videos so fucking much that they begin talking like they're from Rio

Portuguese parents are horrified by the Brazilian Portuguese but can't make it stop

Brazilian Portuguese slowly eats alive the European Portuguese dialect

Yall wanna be gnc and androgynous but hate intersex people and the idea of being intersex so much, I remember reading about PCOS potentially being considered an intersex disorder and having 100s of people dismiss it because "we can't just be calling 1 in 10 women intersex" or being in transmasc spaces and constantly being told that bottom growth and T dicks are undesirable and that people find non standard genetalia gross, in a GENDER INCLUSIVE SPACE.

The lgbt Community seriously needs to grapple with its hatred of intersex features and stop seeing androgyny that isn't pretty waify white person. You all love femme presenting androgyny but hate when people are androgynous in a broad or hairy way.

[wizardpotions]

its great that theres a lot of bottom growth positivity on here but please extend that positivity beyond trans men and non binary people having them, you need to be more okay with cis intersex women having a tdick.

Ok but for real. One would think that the lgbtq community would largely be much more respectful and supportive of non-normative bodies and sex characteristics, but no.

I've literally seen perisex/dyadic lgbtq people say openly that they wish they were born intersex so they could be more androgynous (as if being born with an intersex variation automatically grants people idyllic androgyny). I've also seen these same people describe androgyny as "monstrous". People calling themselves monsterfuckers because they're attracted to androgyny. Calling themselves monsters because they're growing non-normative sex characteristics thanks to HRT, unsubtly implying that they view and have always viewed intersex bodies as monstrous.

Intersex women who don't shave their beards being called dwarves and gnomes despite repeatedly asking not to be called that. Intersex men with small penises or breasts being called slurs. People constantly defending the mocking of small penises or large clitorises, shaming intersex bodies. Supposed "allies" telling their intersex trans siblings that they "have it easy" for being born in a body that is highly stigmatized, scrutinized, and medicalized, just because they are jealous of certain attributes their intersex peers were born with. All while completely ignoring the fact that many intersex variations are also disabilities, and that intersex people are extremely likely to suffer from medical abuse from a young age. Dyadic trans people make post after post complaining about "cis kids getting HRT", when those "cis kids" are usually actually intersex children who are being forced to take hormones they might not even want by their parents and doctors for the sake of violent conformity.

The community by and large has a seeming inability to respect the actual lives, bodies, and humanity of intersex people as a whole. This is why it was an entire debate in the intersex community for a while whether or not dyadic people should really even call themselves androgynous at all, because the modern idea and definition of androgyny is based directly on the fetishized idea of the "perfect h*rm*phr*dite" - something that dyadic people are happy to ignore. Dyadic people calling themselves the sanitized version of a slur meant to demean, dehumanize, and mysticize intersex existence is understandably a sore spot for a lot of intersex people.

I do not think this is a trans/lgbtq vs intersex issue, especially since intersex people are also often lgbtq ourselves. But dyadic people in the lgbtq community have got to stop fetishizing and demonizing intersex bodies and features. They need to stop talking over us, shoving us out of these spaces. They need to stop acting like wanting our attributes gives them that right, or that androgyny and gender nonconformivity are something that they can exclude us from. You can not separate gender anarchy and trans liberation from intersex history or intersex people's lived experiences. And their insistence on doing so has caused such a rift in the community that many intersex people have no home here at all, or have had to leave said home for their own safety. And the complete lack of respect for intersex people who are not lgbtq is obscene. If they can't relate to an intersex person on that level, they simply do not care about them at all - All pretense of caring about intersex people or intersex issues goes out the window if that intersex person is not relatably gay, trans, etc enough for them - showing just how performative that care always was.

HBO Max: so basically we're going to erase most of our shows as a tax dodge in a week and you can't stop us

A Youtuber who makes two hour long & strangely ominous video essays about Lost Media: it'll all be on Archive dot org by the end of the week you son of a bitch. Also the forbidden original pilot of Caillou and the French dub of the long sought after August 27th, 2001 Spongebob bumpers

[ID: A tweet by ToughPigs that reads, "With no warning, HBO Max has removed over 200 classic Sesame Street episodes from its streaming service. This is a huge slap in the face to Sesame fans everywhere."]

When you're such a bitter heartless penny-pinching monstrous ghoul that not even fucking SESAME STREET is worth keeping around in your endless trudge to save literally nickels.

This is so sad

every day i think about how my old psychiatrist (who was notoriously horrible on many levels, to be clear) tried to convince me to stay on the antidepressants i was coming off of when i told her i was starting testosterone because she was convinced that i’d be incapable of handling the “intense mood swings” that she said it would cause if i was unmedicated

mind you, i was coming off of these meds because they were doing absolutely fucking nothing for me and she had fought me on stopping them every step of the way — in her mind, me starting t was the perfect chance to make one final (transphobic) push against my desire to stop putting completely pointless drugs in my body

she consistently referred to hrt as me “going on steroids” and told me with every ounce of condescending concern she could muster that she had never had a patient start t without being on antidepressants (as if i was supposed to see that fact as anything other than further proof that her main goal as a psychiatrist was just to make as much money as possible by pushing meds on people)

i tried to explain to her that countless trans people i’d talked to had said that being on t made them feel more emotionally stable, not less, and that i had already chosen a method of hrt that would minimize hormonal fluctuations as much as possible, but she wouldn’t believe me — there’s no question in my mind that she just saw me as a ~naive little girl who didn’t understand how testosterone could make my life hell~

and of course, my mom jumped on that idea and started telling me about how it’s not that she doesn’t like that i’m trans, it’s just that she’s ~so worried~ about what the ~big bad testosterone~ might to to my ~poor fragile mental health~

and when i started t, i was terrified that they would be proven right

now i’m 5 months on t (and a few months post-ending that doctor-patient relationship as well) and what do you know? my mood is better than ever! my therapist (who has known me far longer and actually cares about my well-being) says she’s never seen me this happy, and that she feels like i’m actually living for the first time! it’s been incredible!

in fact, i’ve come to the realization that i most likely had premenstrual dysphoric disorder before t, and that it was contributing to a huge percentage of my mental breakdowns and suicidal thoughts, so it seems there were hormones causing mood swings that i couldn’t handle without proper treatment after all, but testosterone isn’t the cause of those issues — turns out it’s the treatment i desperately needed to manage them!

and after some research and hearing from other people, i’ve learned that it wasn’t all anecdotal after all, because some studies have actually found evidence to support the idea that testosterone has antidepressant effects — i told my therapist that testosterone felt the way the antidepressants i had been on were supposed to feel, but i had no clue there was science to back that up

so now i’m just left being endlessly furious with the way testosterone is demonized as some horrible poisonous drug that will destroy your mental health along with everything else in your life, because being on it has improved my quality of life exponentially and that alone makes being on it SO worthwhile, but no one ever gets to see that side of being on t because they’re so busy drumming up fear about how it’ll wreck your moods instead

of course, that’s not to say some people don’t experience serious mood swings on t, because i would never deny someone else’s experience with their own body and mind, and i think it’s important that people know those effects are possible when they start t

what i AM saying is that i would guess that if you looked at pure numbers, more people have probably had a really positive experience like mine than a seriously negative one, and it’s very telling that the negative ones are portrayed as a universal part of being on t despite seemingly being a smaller percentage when you actually talk to lots of trans people, while the positive ones are portrayed as a fluke at best and impossible or even deceptive at worst despite being a really common theme in trans people’s accounts of being on t

testosterone is medicine. testosterone is healing.

it doesn’t solve all our problems — i’m certainly far from cured of all my mental health issues — but it sure as hell lightens the load, and i’m sick and tired of people acting like it’s a horrible thing and not the fucking miracle worker that it is for some of us

Trans men with toxic masculinity are literally struggling so much make sure they know they’re loved and that it’s okay to be loved and that they’re allowed to have emotions. 

Trans men struggle with toxic masculinity too. As a trans man who got told, “You’re not a real man, you’re emotional, you’re soft, you’re weak, and real men don’t describe things as ‘cute.’” It fucked me up and turned me into a Dean Winchester-esque man. And although I’m starting to heal, I still get moments where being the slightest bit “non-masculine” makes me extremely dysphoric.  this website seems to show a lot of love towards soft trans men, but I have yet to see a post that supports trans men who grew up believing that they had to be fucking Soldier Boy in order to be taken seriously by anyone. Not trans men who like being masculine. Trans men who had to be masculine. 

It’s always about “Men’s mental health matters” until the man’s problem is toxic masculinity. Not internalized homophobia or transphobia: toxic masculinity.
