Our Queer POC Experience

Share!

[our-queer-poc-experience]

Hello! I’ve noticed Tumblr is a pretty white place and it gets hard to share your story from a non-white point of view. This blog is free for all queer people of color to discuss their experiences, share their stories, vent, etc.! It’s inspired by @our-queer-experience. Just send in an ask/submission!

Topics of racism will be tagged with #racism, if any more cws are needed they’ll be added.

TERFS and exclus fuck off, you aren’t and will never be welcome here <3

I am a bit late, but happy Asian American, Pacific Islander, and Native Hawaiian heritage month to all AANHPI folks out there :) I would love to know if anyone is willing to answer: what are some of your favorite things about queer life in your culture? Are you doing anything special to celebrate this month?

POC Transmasc Culture Blog!

 ˚₊‧꒰ა☆໒꒱‧₊˚ Mod uses He/She/They and is Blasian.

First time running one of these so mistakes may be made.

Asks can be anything relating to being a person of color and being transmasc / a trans man. Experience, seeking advice, venting, etc.

No submissions/interactions from non-POC. Likes and reblogs are allowed.

White-passing POCs are welcome to submit asks, as long as it's about things unique to being a POC

To keep everyone safe, no namedropping.

No bigotry, naturally.

Right now, no nsfw/kinks asks but if enough people want it, I'll allow them

Rules will be updated as needed.

i mean. you dont have to

[our-queer-experience]

everyone reblogging this since salem got banned (if i get any asks about how um actually this discourse says this, idc not the point + i’ll blow us both up) is genuinely so obnoxious. no one thinks you are obligated to care about their ocs. but hey man why are you so mad that trans men draw themselves as how they look.

[our-queer-experience]

“why don’t they ever drawn skinny transitioning trans men?” well why don’t you go look at all other media ever made about trans men,

I’m I’m sorry to bother more but we just got in a car accident and the engine is busted, we’re homeless and sleeping out of our car so we really don’t have a lot of money to fix this.

If anyone can help our Cashapp is Cuuno and our Paypal is GardenerGulfie

[gardenergulfie]

Money for food or shelter tonight would also be really appreciative. Anything helps!

please help this friend of mine, just $5 can make a big difference when enough people send it

the fact that black women are so masculinised no matter how feminine they are has me wondering, black transmascs, have you ever felt like you were playing into this stereotype or 'betraying' your femininity? i'm not black so i apologise if it's not my place to ask, but i was curious about how transness is affected by the masculinity being pushed onto black people. (and if this affects transfems too, please feel free to add!)

I haven’t quite experienced this, but I’m curious as to others’ experiences. Feel free to comment below.

[our-queer-poc-experience]

Just watched Sinners (late to the party, I know) and it's just as good as everyone said... Maybe I'll get stoned for saying it, but Remmick is just the average white liberal i mean who said that?? 10/10 movie, if you haven't watched it GO DO IT NOW. I command you.

[zebiscripouni-deactivated202604]

Queer westerners and their ability to be so self-centred always amazes me ... like wdym me having a complex queer identity causes you harm ??

Inclusive black lesbian and gay flags

PT: Inclusive black lesbian and gay flags. end PT

Lesbian

PT: Lesbian. end PT

ID: a flag with nine horizontal stripes. the colors, from top to bottom, are dark brown, brown, light brown, tan, pinkish white, orange, orangish pink, faded magenta, and dark magenta. end ID

Gay

PT: Gay. end PT

ID: a flag with nine horizontal stripes. the colors, from top to bottom, are dark brown, brown, light brown, tan, mint-ish white, pale mint green, a darker shade of mint green, blue, and dark blue. end ID

I made these, because I feel like there should at least be an option for black lesbian and gay flags that acknowledge more of the spectrum of black skin tones. as such, while it is impossible to represent every skin color as there is a lot of diversity, my goal was to portray dark skin tones, medium skin tones, and those on the lighter scale. as such, it may be difficult to simplify these designs, as each stripe is important portrayal wise.

these are also 'inclusive' in the fact that they are pro gaybian, m-spec lesbian and gay, lesboys, and turigirls. that should be a given, but considering the fact that the most common lesbian flag isn't even pro m-spec lesbian (though it's possible that she's since changed her stance on that like she did on asexual lesbians), I figure I should make it known that my flags are inherently inclusionist.

I hope other light skinned people, whether they be biracial like me or albino, feel more included by these flags, and I hope those with dark and medium skin tones feel just as included, as nobody deserves to be shunted aside in the name of 'representation'. black people come in all sorts of colors, and I feel like the more common black queer flags fail to get that across. hell, even the progress pride flag has only one stripe to represent all black people and other POC. I understand that it's meant to be inclusive of all black people, as online queer discussions are very white centered and often forget we exist, but I feel a little weird using those flags. it's like I'm 'not allowed' to, based on the fact that I am lighter than the colors typically used to represent black people.

I plan to make more black queer flags like these, but it's harder to translate other flags into this kind of style. bear with me while I figure that out, lol (I have a prototype for a black nonbinary flag already, so there's that).

it will always be a little funny to me that us black ppl are supposedly the lowest of the low evil backwards ppl with "no culture" but everyone wants to be black. everyone wants to steal aave. everyone wants a piece of black music for themselves. everyone wants a black ass and black lips and black hair. everyone wants the swag of black queers.

Text: Don’t act like everyone loved my father. He was assassinated. A 1967 poll reflected that he was one of the most hated men in America. Most hated. Many who quote him now and evoke him to deter justice today would likely hate, and may already hate, the authentic King.

i dont think whites understand how being white makes literally everything easier.

it effects everything.

being trans is easier when youre white.

being gay is easier when youre white.

being disabled is easier when youre white.

being a woman is easier when youre white.

being autistic is easier when youre white.

oppression is eased when you are white, as you get extra privileges, and your whiteness is seen as a positive characteristic that in some ways counter-balances your other forms of being a minority. whiteness controls everything.

you are automatically way more innocent in your own oppression as a gay, trans, disabled person because of your whiteness.

never forget this.

[raccoon-piss]

three things:

1. it’s true

2. white people get pissed when i bring this up/wear this shirt

3. the comments to this thread melted my fucking eyeballs seriously why the fuck are y’all like this

[lady-hibiscus]

white people you don’t need to say you’re white when you reblog this btw. you don’t even need to mention it btw

[corporationsarepeople]

Share this, please. Do not be fooled by ICE’s administrative warrants. They are NOT a legal basis for a search or to enter your home or business. For that, ICE must present a JUDICIAL WARRANT.

The difference is shown below. Study it.

Y'all would not believe how loudly I 'aw'ed at this photo lmao. Cute *and* covid safe!
