i get that americans love their cultural imperialism, but it really does piss me off that june is “international” pride month just because something happened in the united states.

in aotearoa, june isn’t our pride, it’s theirs. marsha p johnson and sylvia rivera are their historical figures, not ours. the phrase that “you owe your rights to Black trans women” is true there, but here we owe our rights to (mostly) Māori historical figures. i have the freedoms i do because of the legacy of an entirely different set of people operating in an entirely different context at entirely different times.

But because of american cultural imperialism, most queer people in Aotearoa don’t even know our own queer history. Carmen Rupe, Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, the Dorian Society, Gillian Laundon, Georgina Beyer, and the Wolfenden Association are some of our queer history. We should know their names! we should know what they did for us! but because of the power of the american imperial machine, we don’t.

our national pride month should be july, the month that the Homosexual Law Reform Act passed in 1986. our two largest cities hold their pride festivals in february and march, respectively. american queer history has very little (or nothing, depending on who you ask) to do with our queer history. anecdotally, from my own queries, queer youth in aotearoa know more about american queer history than our own.

anyway, happy pride, americans. i’m truly sorry that most of you don’t see the negative impact your nation’s culture has on the rest of the world. and to the rest of the world reading this, try searching for your own country and culture’s queer history, don’t accept the american narratives as your own. we deserve our own histories divorced from the cultural hegemony of the USA.

““Sworn virgins” (burrneshas in Albanian) are Albanian women who decide to ignore their female identity and live as men in the Balkans. Photographer Jill Peters traveled to Northern Albania to meet and photograph these women. The decision to live as men is more related to gender roles in the Albanian culture rather than a statement of sexuality; these women live their lives appearing as men.

Sworn virgins have existed for centuries. According to tradition dating back to the 15th century developed out of the Kanun, a tribal code of law, tribal clans from the Balkans considered families without a male presence as pariahs. When blood feuds decimated all the men in a family, the only way to salvage their honor was for a woman to become the patriarch of the clan and start acting like a man.”

from Sworn Virgins: Men by Choice in the Balkans by Daphnee Denis

transandrophobia deniers love to say shit like “if you weren’t trans, you’d be a cis man, so you don’t experience a unique axis of oppression.”

babes. if i wasn’t trans, i wouldn’t be a cis man. i wouldn’t be a man at all.

and it isn’t “weaponizing my afab biology” to point that out. transness is not a cosmetic modifier you remove to reveal a default cis guy underneath. transandrophobia exists because of how we’re actually assigned, read, and treated, both before and after transition.

if y'all think trans men are unquestionably read as men the moment we come out, that's a you problem, and if you needed someone to tell you that, im glad i did.

**edit** if you rb this and you're a terf i will burn your house down and steal your crops

On one side of the fence I have people telling me to be fluid and that I can change and that my sexuality indicates how I feel about other people. On the other side of the fence I have people pushing my sexuality as the ultimate feminist action that must be performed perfectly at all times lest I be doing something in a “male coded way”.

Nowhere does it seem I can just be. Nowhere is my sexuality seen as neutral and natural and nothing more than who I want to kiss and sleep with.

It gets twisted and bent and broken to make a point , but I don’t even get a say in the point they are trying to make.
