It's important to know that if you have any sort of caprese dish on your menu and you substitute basil for arugla, in my mind bombs, fire, knives and explosions, locusts and blight. pain and blood and pain and blood and pain and blood and pain.

So. It's hard, being a nonbinary woman with a beard. I try and get used to it. I work with new classes of students each day, and today three separate times a kid yelled loudly at me why there was a man in a dress here. But they're kids, so you deal. Then today I went to meet our interns, one of whom was in a hijab and like an idiot I went to shake her hand and held it there not realizing for like half a minute.

I apologized profusely, but it just took me like a whole ass real time minute to realize I was being perceived as a man. And I expect it from kids. I expect it from everyone really, because of the facial hair. But in thay moment I had so genuinely forgotten in my nice dress etc that someone would see me as a man. And not being prepared for that moment hurt so much worse for some reason.

If anyone suggests shaving my face or doing makeup I will kick you in the shins repeatedly.

And nobody gets it! I have no one to talk to this about. It sucks!

#queer #nonbinary #gnc women #im like close to tears #which is crazy #i deal with this every single day #i dont think more than 2 or 3 days go by without me being intentionally misgendered #or being referred to as a man in a dress #but this one just hurt #i dont want to have to do electrolysis or shave every day or change my body #i know what I am #but being seen as a man still sucks #and sometimes when you are expecting a nice/respectful interaction it hurts all the more #absolutely no disrespect to her I totally understand #it just sucked

Happy fucking pride Jonathan was murdered for being queer AND native It was a hate crime His death wasn’t by natural causes Jonathan Joss being queer and also native is a big thing as to why he was targeted in a hate crime That’s being left out of this conversation by non natives esp white non natives right now We know why They erasing that part of this During pride and indigenous month no less too His queerness and being indigenous are linked in this

“Why was he living in Texas In the South We didn’t he move to a blue state?” He was a Comanche Native in Texas He was already fucking home I know what white people are doing in posts like these But natives queer people Black people disabled people and people of color also live in the fucking south Where is that meme about white people acting like the north doesn’t also have bigotry cuz they have pizza ovens Happy fucking pride Remember that bipoc and qtipoc exist

I’m reading The Deviants War: The Homosexual vs The United States of America and the entire point of gay pride as a concept comes from police raids on bars, clubs, public restrooms, etc where gays were humiliated and outed in the newspapers (sometimes with their addresses!) and had careers ruined and lives upended by being associated with perversion and vice squads and all that and they responded by going “no I’m proud” and took that pride to the streets in defiance of the huge mechanism of shame that existed to oppress the gay community into obscurity and so the fact that people are now trying to apply conservative dogma to pride parades to make them “safe for children” or in other words “safe for people with oppressive conservative values” is simply insane

To phrase this more clearly: “public indecency” laws were the primary tool for brutally enforcing gender and sexual conformity, so applying a “public indecency” lens to pride parades of all things is a slap in the face of everyone who ever suffered under gender & sexual oppression and took their anger (and yes their pride!) to the streets. If it makes you uneasy or uncomfortable maybe you’re not on the side you think you are!
