Deleting

I know y'all aren't gonna be too happy, and I'm sorry, but this blog had a good run, and my life is taken up by other things. I never use this and it just sits there, and I'd rather end something I'm done with than let it collect dust. Thanks everyone who followed~ peace~

Hi, guys! I’m assembling an anthology for a class, and while I don’t have my topic perfectly concrete yet, I know I want it to involve trans issues—especially the financial difficulties involved with transitioning. If anyone has perspective they’d be willing to lend, or a piece of writing that I could include, that would be really, truly fantastic. Thanks for any signal boosts, too, you fabulous beings!

I personally relate to the term MOGAI because it sounds like “mogwai”, and I too, as a queer person, am a small adorable bab who is sensitive to light and will morph into a destructive demon creature if you feed me after midnight.

Nonbinary characters should be like a regular thing because so much prophecy is so gendered.

"No man or woman can ever defeat me." “Lucky me then!”

but let’s spread some nonbinary love too

shout out to nonbinary people who don’t look androgynous and who are chubby or fat and who have body hair in wrong places and don’t use binders and who don’t want to cut their hair short and who go by their gendered names and who use gendered pronouns and forms and who didn’t come out yet

you are all loved and beautiful and valid and please try to remember that

start using 'they' instead of 'he or she' 2015

New Orleans trans advocates say they have been left stunned by the death of Penny Proud, one of their city’s young, black trans residents, the latest casualty in the ongoing national trend of antitrans violence that has seen five trans women of color killed within the first five weeks of 2015.

Proud, 21, was fatally shot multiple times at 1:30 a.m. on February 10, according to local news report from NOLA that the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs has linked to Proud. Few other details are currently available, but the first press release to address the situation, from New Orleans LGBT youth of color activist group BreakOUT!, condemned NOLA’s report for misgendering Proud.

In announcing her death, BreakOUT! has urged media to cover Proud’s story, as well as those of all trans victims, with respect for her preferred identity, name, and pronoun, which also accords with journalistic standards endorsed by the Associated Press and GLAAD. The youth group had already been writing a press release concerning the recent deaths of Yazmin Vash Payne, 33, in Los Angeles; Ty Underwood, 24, in North Tyler, Texas; Lamia Beard, 30, in Norfolk, Va.; and Lamar Edwards, 20, in Lousville, Ky., when news of Proud’s murder emerged from local sources. San Francisco resident Taja DeJesus was also discovered fatally stabbed this week.

"These deaths had little to no mainstream media attention," BreakOUT! stated. "The silence and lack of action from media on behalf of the Black transgender community sends a strong message that Black Trans Lives, in fact, do not matter."

The NCAVP, of which BreakOUT! is a member, concurred. “2015 has begun in absolute tragedy, with the loss of four black transgender women and one Latina transgender woman,” stated Chai Jinduraswat, codirector of community organizing and public advocacy at the New York City Anti-Violence Project. “We all must take immediate action by supporting the leadership of transgender women of color, public awareness and respect campaigns, speaking out against this violence, and protecting transgender people from harassment and discrimination. This is an epidemic and an outrage, and we all have to commit as a nation to ending this violence.”

A candlelight vigil for Proud will be held tonight 7 p.m. at the site of her death, on the 1100 Block of North Claiborne Ave., in the Treme district of New Orleans, according to the Transgender Law Center.

Anyone with information about Proud’s murder is asked to contact Homicide Detective Robert Barrere at 504-658-5300, or contact Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111 or www.crimestoppersgno.org. [source]

#this is literally how being nonbinary is

[minementis]

Imagine explaining non-binary genders like this though, “Okay so you know how a spork is like a spoon, and also a fork, while also being neither? I am the spork of humanity. I have a spork gender.”

Such a novel concept not having to put things in containers and yet something humans just can’t seem to do.

If we truly want to build broad, intentionally intersectional coalitions, then it begins with us recognizing that there is no such thing as a ‘gold star’ activist—that mythical creature who has never once said or done anything inappropriate, offensive, or marginalizing to someone.
