Safe haven for every queer | Dedicated to spread queer positivity | Are you a queer and have a story to tell? We are all ears!

A platform for queer people’s stories from across the world.

Humans Of Queer is a Pride Month project by Indian Aces, launched in June of 2021. Over the years we’ve realized that although there are many LGBTQIA+ icons’ stories celebrated over various media, there’s a dearth of stories that make the average queer person’s life. And sometimes, that’s all an anxious, confused, or uncertain queer person needs to witness - the possibility of a regular life.

We aim to fulfil this gap, and present a diverse set of life stories lived by unique people in unique and not-so-unique ways. Real stories have the power to transform perspectives, nourish mindsets, provide hope, and change lives. Apart from the power of stories, we also deeply believe in the power of storytelling.

Whether it's your basic story of leading a 'normal' life as a queer person, one of many dilemmas and struggles, or one of triumphs and happy endings, share it with us and we’ll share it with the world. There is great strength in owning one’s identity and story. The stories published on the platform aim to offer hope, inspiration, and a sense of normalcy and belonging.

If you’d like to be a part of our efforts, fill the submission form here to express your interest, and our team will get in touch with you shortly.

Unpopular opinion but telling someone they identify as the wrong identity is not nearly as helpful as you think it is and it’s really creepy. I’ve seen so many posts of ace women talking about their experiences where the notes are filled with people telling them they’re probably a lesbian. I’ve seen posts made by gnc cis people where tons of people tell them they’re probably trans, because only trans people have complicated relationships with gender, cis people ALWAYS love to fit into society’s expected gender roles.

Even if the person you are addressing ends up identifying differently later, that is their journey and they need to take it on their own timeline. A stranger telling them that they way they feel about themselves is wrong is not going to help. If anything, getting told by a bunch of strangers to identify a certain way will make them want to explore other identities even less. If a person truly is x identity, but aren’t ready to come to terms with that, people pushing them is only going to make it worse.

Do people really not see how inappropriate that is?

'Bloom Into You' Overtaken as Japans Most Popular Yuri Series According to New Reader Polls

On November 1, popular Japanese Yuri news website Yuri Navi released the results from its 5th Yuri Manga Sousenkyo. The annual poll is held among Japanese residents, where readers vote for their favorite Yuri manga series.

Voting took place from October 1 through 7. Respondents were able to choose up to four titles, as well as assign them categories based on their content. The winners from each category and the general election were announced simultaneously. Works were sorted based on the category voting, but all votes for each series counted towards its placing (for example, if 50 people voted a series as a comedy and 60 declared it romance, the series would be placed in the romance category with 110 votes).

Notably, for the first time since the Yuri Manga Sousenkyo began in 2017, Yuri manga Bloom Into You did not win the general election, instead coming in second place. Eku Takashima’s Whisper Me a Love Song overcame the popular series by over 100 votes. Notably, unlike Bloom Into You, Whisper Me a Love Song does not have an anime adaptation.

The winners for each category and the top twenty results from the fifth Yuri Manga Sousenkyo are below. Titles that have been published in English or that are set to be adapted into English are noted with the Publisher. Click on licensed titles to be navigated to an English storefront.

You shouldn't have to choose between being happy and being respected as the gender you are

When you think of intersex and trans liberation, think of it as a venn diagram. 

There’s quite a bit of overlap, but our struggles aren’t all inherently the same, and it’s disingenuous to both groups to imply that our struggles are absolutely the same. Our interests are hand in hand, like the interests of intersex people and disabled people. 

Cis intersex people still wield transphobia and transmisogyny. There are cis intersex TERFs that co-op intersex activism for their own transmisogyny and trans-extermination. 

Dyadic trans people still wield intersexism. These thoughts that you can transition to intersex/get “intersex genitalia”, that we are “lucky” to face medical abuse and neglect if we’re intersex and trans because we got a “jump start”, these are lateral aggressors between the trans and intersex community. 

But again, there is overlap. Trans intersex people are here and we experience both extremes, plus that overlap between the communities. We all strive for liberation from sex as a binary and a class. 

I think it’s important for us to acknowledge and create the solidarity between our communities while realizing that we have similar and differing goals. An example being HRT. Going on HRT for your wellbeing as a trans person isn’t the same as being forced on HRT as an intersex person. Our medical abuse and neglect look different. And that’s okay! 

That’s why we have solidarity with our trans comrades as intersex people. We uplift intersex trans voices in both communities to show that overlap and we work together while acknowledging that being trans and being intersex are different experiences, under different umbrellas of oppression, and that’s okay.

Pronouns are important part of one's identity. It is important to not assume one's pronoun, it is better to ask the person directly instead of assuming incorrectly.
