Considering moving our coining stuff to a sideblog and turning this one into a general queer-centric blog (we'd still reblog all of our labels here)

[oceancoins]

We decided to not move blogs. But we are cleaning up this blog and redoing some of our coining posts.

Considering moving our coining stuff to a sideblog and turning this one into a general queer-centric blog (we'd still reblog all of our labels here)

[contradictory-label-culture-is]

hey, is there a lable for when you have queer attraction to everyone regardless of gender. like im vincian for men, sapphic for women, and diamoric of nonbinary people.

reworded in another way for less confusion:

is there a lable for when you're gay for everyone?

Yes actually! (And I have a questioning blog for anyone looking for labels but I don't mind questions like that on here) https://pin.it/5KTLbmnQx Everique! I don't know if it's on any other thing like a wiki or something. Just Pinterest?

[🌌]  Everique

[pt: Everique end pt]

A label for when you view all of your attractions as queer. This is similar to Omnique, except it doesn’t specifically require fluidity in your identity. All of your attraction is just queer, regardless of reason. Experiences that can be considered everique are, but aren’t limited to:

Multigender individuals who feel as though having multiple genders makes all of their attractions queer in some form or another.

Non-Binary individuals who don’t feel like they could describe any of their attractions as non-queer due to not identifying with a binary.

Neurodivergent individuals who experience attraction in a uniquely neurodivergent way and therefore can only describe their attractions as queer.

M-spec individuals who feel that all of their attractions are queer because they are m-spec.

Transhet individuals who experience straight attraction through a queer lens.

This can also include those who would normally fall under Omnique, this is just a term to fit more experiences. This label is all-inclusive, meaning it’s flexible and can be unique to each individual that uses it. All good faith identities are represented under everique, and anyone can identify with it if they feel it accurately describes their experiences.

IMAGE ID: In descending order, we have a light red stripe, light orange stripe, light yellow stripe, light green stripe, and light blue stripe, with smaller white stripes dividing them. In the middle of the yellow stripe, there’s a dark purple stripe going horizontally though the flag, also lined with a smaller white stripe. In the middle of this line is a circle with a light purple middle, also lined with a white stripe. In the center of the circle is a dark purple heart lined with white. END ID

Hi, our blog isn't deactivated. We just changed our username a while ago. I assume that's why all of our links are broken lmao.

We have an updated flag, symbol and term post for this term actually. You can find that all here.

The original post can be found here.

Transnature

A term to describe being simultaneously transpring and transgarden; being simultaneously translunar, transtidal, transolar and transfloral. Transitioning to feminine girlhood/womanhood, masculine boyhood/manhood, masculine girlhood/womanhood and feminine boyhood/manhood.

The name was picked to merge the themes of all the terms, being the sun and moon, as well as the way they affect many things here on earth (such as plants and the tide).

Tagging @radiomogai and @liom-archive for archival purposes.

IMAGE ID: A six-striped flag that's colors go from green, light green, light desaturated yellow, slightly darker desaturated yellow, dark yellow, and lighter yellow. In the center of the flag is a white symbol, which is a combination of the Venus and Mars symbol. Inside of the circle is a wavey flower shape, and in the center of that is a sun symbol with a crescent moon shape cut out of of the center. The whole symbol has a thing black border. END ID

[oceancoins]

Transgarden

A term to describe being simultaneously transfloral and transolar. Transitioning to masculine girlhood/womanhood, and feminine boyhood/manhood.

The name was picked as a way to combine the floral and solar theme of the two terms, which reminded me of a flower garden in the sun.

Tagging @radiomogai and @liom-archive for archival purposes.

IMAGE ID: A six-striped flag that's colors go from dark red, mid red, light yellow, slightly darker yellow, dark pink and light pink. In the center of the flag is a white symbol, which is a combination of the Venus and Mars symbol, the circle at the top end of which has been replaced by a flower shape. The center of the flower shape is hollowed out and has a sun graphic in its place. The symbol has a thin black border. END ID

Friendly reminder for Pride Month: if anyone has an 'exception' for their acceptance of queer people, they aren't an ally.

Queerphobes will ALWAYS find a reason for their hatred towards us, whether that be xenogenders and neopronouns, or even just binary transgender people. It has never been about being the 'right kind of queer' in order to fit the boxes THEY made for us, because at the end of the day, they don't fucking care.

Our goal should never be forcing ourselves to be palatable to our oppressors. We owe them nothing. No matter how you identify, they will find something wrong with us.

While you gatekeep queerness and trying to discredit our own, there are hundreds (if not thousands) of anti-trans bills meeting lawmakers eyes in the US. While we fight each other on who is and isn't making our community 'look bad', there are still several countries where it's criminalized to even be gay, sometimes punishable by death.

We are not our own enemy. In-fighting is tearing us apart and it fixes nothing! As we speak, so many trans people have died in the US for the simple fact that they were openly themselves in this horrific world.

Fight the real injustice. Stop pointing the finger at any queer person you don't like or understand. We're all freaks to them. Their opinion of us is fucking pointless.

Queer started as a riot, and it will always be a riot. You're throwing bricks in the wrong direction.

Tidalic & Lunaric Attraction

Tidalic attraction is a type of attraction that describes being drawn to someone the way the ocean is drawn to the moon. Like waves crashing against the shore, trying to get high enough just to touch or be near the object of their desire/obsession/etc.

Lunaric attraction is a type of attraction that describes wanting to draw someone in the way the moon draws the tides. Like the moon pulling the ocean higher and higher, longing for the slim chance of ever truly connecting.

Never tried to make a flag like this before, but my flags have started to feel so same-y. I wanted to try something different here.

Tagging @radiomogai @liom-archive and @tertiary-attraction-archive for archival purposes.

IMAGE ONE ID: A flag with eleven horizontal stripes. The top four and bottom four are wavy, resembling ocean waves. The top four striped colors are dark blue, light blue, lighter blue and pale blue. The bottom four are the same colors in reverse. The fifth and seventh stripe are straight, but placed underneath the waves of the fourth and eighth line. Those stripes are beige. The middle stripe is a thick light beige straight line. Over the middle stripe is a white moon phase graphic that has a beige border. In the center of the full moon of the graphic is a light beige heart with a regular beige border. END ID IMAGE TWO ID: A flag with eleven horizontal stripes. The top four and bottom four are wavy, resembling ocean waves. The top four striped colors are deep blue, dark muted blue, dark blue and a slightly lighter blue. The bottom four are the same colors in reverse. The fifth and seventh stripe are straight, but placed underneath the waves of the fourth and eighth line. Those stripes are a muted beige. The middle stripe is a thick light muted beige straight line. Over the middle stripe is a dark grey moon phase graphic that has a muted beige border. In the center of the full moon of the graphic is a light muted beige heart with a regular muted beige border. END ID

Space / Sex-Positive Asexual

An asexual person who considers themselves sex-positive in any sense. This could mean many things for the user, including (but not limited to):

Being supportive and positive towards others having sex, but not wishing to partake in it yourself.

Enjoying sex as a concept/thought, but not wishing to actually partake in it yourself.

Enjoying the act of sex for reasons outside of sexual attraction (i.e. physical affection, having children, still having a libido, etc.)

This can be used as a combination identity with other sexual labels (i.e. "space bi", "space lesbian", "space queer", etc.) or as a standalone identity. This term is inclusive of all who fit under the asexual umbrella. Having a connection to space is not required for using this label, but it can factor into the reason someone might use the term and flag.

I'm aware that the more accurate term for those who enjoy the act or concept of sex regardless of attraction is "sex-favorable". However, I've seen them used interchangeably and I personally only use the label sex-positive because I fit both camps and I find it less of a mouthful to communicate to people.

Tagging @radiomogai for archival purposes.

IMAGE ID: A flag with nine horizontal stripes. The outermost six are equal in size. The middle three are smaller, with the fourth and sixth stripes being smaller than the middle stripes. From top to bottom the colors are: deep purple, dark purple, purple, light pink, light pink-purple, purple, dark purple, deep purple. In the middle is a circle with a purple spade inside, and a light pink four-point star inside that. The circle is outlined in light purple pink and light pink. END ID

[starlingsongs-deactivated201608]

Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.

It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

Without Stonewall, without the efforts of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, the LGBTQ Community wouldn’t be where it is today. Don’t forget the roots, don’t forget the catalyst.

[cyberlesbiab-deactivated2021052]

and then TERFs wanna be like, “hmm well the LGBT community existed before Stonewall!”

but like…Becky, of course LGBTQ+ people existed before Stonewall. We’ve all existed since the beginning of time. But the movement got a shock to its senses, a jump-start, a rocket-into-space when that glass shattered via Marsha P. Johnson, and when Sylvia Rivera was up on-stage protesting guess who was on the sidelines heckling her?

The same fuckers who won’t ever reblog or acknowledge this

[bitterbearsf]

My apologies to the original poster as I photo captured this post to add to the thread-I reposted this last year for pride and expect to repost it every year I have left-it’s our history people.

[internutter]

Marsha P. Johnson allegedly died of suicide in 1992, and her death was never investigated. Even I, a mere prole, could catch the “she was murdered” vibes from the circumstances surrounding the discovery of her body.

Without a trans black woman, LGBT+ rights would not exist. Never forget. Never “pay it no mind”.

SPREADSHEET OF PALESTINIAN ESCAPE FUNDS‼️TIME SENSITIVE

Operation Olive Branch is a continuously updating spreadsheet of Palestinian escape funds where progress towards their goals is being tracked. As of right now, there are over 100 funds listed there.

Any amount of money can make a difference. With their recent decision to bomb Rafah, the only remaining “safe” territory in Gaza, Israel has forced Palestinians into a corner by giving them nowhere else to go. The international community has given Israel the ability to act with impunity - it is long past the point in time to rely on those in power to hold Israel to any standard of compassion.

Today, I want you to look at this document, choose a fund, contribute to it, and share it. The people in Rafah are living on borrowed time. Free Palestine.

TL;DR: We're looking for English-speaking neopronoun users (aged 18+) to participate in a paid linguistics study.

Hello!

Professor Kirby Conrod from Swarthmore College is recruiting participants for a paid interview study (in-person in Philly or on zoom). Anyone who uses neopronouns for themself, is 18 or older, and is fluent in English is welcome to participate. The study will consist of a casual interview between you and a researcher, a similar interview with a friend of yours, and an exit survey for each of you. Each will receive $15 as compensation for their time.

If you're interested in participating, please fill out this form: (https://forms.gle/YajpkjxGYiwL7RLF6). Filling out this form does not require you to participate; it's just an expression of interest.

Even on Tumblr, neopronoun use is relatively uncommon, so it would be very helpful if folks could reblog this post to help it reach as many neopronoun users as possible.

TOMATO LESBIAN FLAG

(Plaintext: Tomato Lesbian Flag)

Definition: A label for those who are a lesbian in the way that a tomato is a fruit. The label fits and is comfortable, but at the same time they have a different connection to using the lesbian label than the way that most lesbians do.

This is just my take on the flag! I loved the definition when I saw it, but I have an affinity for 7-stripe flags. No idea why, they’re just neat. Figured it’d be cool to give a slight spin on it. It’s pretty much the same as the original, just with more stripes and one version with a tomato symbol. I did not coin this term, I only made this flag for it.

Coined by infinitys.hoard on Instagram [link] (@galaxys-hoard on tumblr).

Image ID: The first image is a flag with seven even horizonal stripes. From top to bottom, the colors are orange, light orange, pastel orange, white, pink, light red, red. In the center of the flag is a vector image of a red tomato with a small green leafy stem on top. The second flag is the exact same thing without the tomato logo. End ID

hi friends

as we boycott in support of palestine, here is a little reminder of the companies that specifically supported israel in their crimes against palestine (taken from the al jazeera website)

do as much as you are able to during the boycott, but if you need essentials or need to go to work to support yourself, that is okay! anything helps and boycotting these companies specifically is great because of their direct role in the violence against people in gaza
