Today I post images from my Ikea visit since I have not posted in a long time 😱

Saw a falling star burning

High above the high desert sand

It wasn't the one that you gave to me

That night down south between the trailers

Not the early one that you wish upon

Not the northern one that guides in the sailors

You've got that touch so gentle and sweet

But you've got that look so critical

Can't talk to you, Samira, you know I get so weak

Sometimes I think that love is just mythical

☪️❤️🙏

Thoughts on wearing hijab as a non-Muslim

Recently, I have been enjoying the freedom of rocking the hijab headwear I got from a local shop, but I have also observed some things the need mentioning. I am not religious. Let me explain. I have significant hair loss and my skin and eyes are very sensitive to the sun. Going about my daily life covered up is a necessity. My previous look was a ball cap and sunglasses, but that made me look like a bank robber and didn't protect my neck enough. It's Spring in the Netherlands and I will be damned if I don't get to spend every second it's not raining out riding my bike in the sun and looking at tulips and windmills and shit. This is what I emigrated for. But even covered up with 50+SPF I suffer after about half an hour. Yes, I could qualify for a realistic wig or hairpiece with my health insurance. I could clip it into what little hair I have on my dry scalp and lovingly style it. It would be uncomfortable but it would look "normal" for five seconds until I get on my bike and the wind picks up. That option might make others more comfortable. OR, (hear me out) I can strap on a comfy, soft garment that is purpose-built to keep my head and neck covered. I need to take a moment here to highlight the important difference between myself and people who wear hijab for religious reasons. It is a difference that needs to be respected. In no way am I saying that my reasons for covering up are more or less legitimate or understandable than anyone else's. When I highlight the practical reasons for my choice of headwear it should not in any way diminish religious choices, full stop. If you read this and say "okay, you get a pass but they don't" you are missing the entire point. When I point out my reasons it is out of a desire to not disrespect or appropriate something that is very morally important to so many. As the wise memelord once said, "we are not the same." While I have been enjoying the freedom of moving about the world unbothered by wind and weather and expectations of hairstyling, I have observed a few interesting things. Liberals will trip over their dicks to be nice to me. It is adorable. They're over here doing fucking land acknowledgements and kneeling wearing kente cloth when I'm just asking for directions because google maps sucks here. I love you, never change. People who cover up for religious reasons are cautiously happy to see me. Most of the time it goes un-commented on, but sometimes a quick "hey, I have a skin disease and y'all have headcoverings figured out" moves things to happy acceptance. Huge shout out to my local tailor who hooked me up with easy options that meet my needs for coverage but don't scream "religious". And also to all the people posting online about headcoverings. I am hopeless with the elaborate scarves but I recognize and admire the game. People who needed an excuse to be assholes are happy to have one. I would like to highlight the man on the oncoming moped who reacted to me signaling a left on the bike path. I indicated in plenty of time for him to slow down slightly and let me go. He chose to gun it and then shout "muslim go home" when I took the left anyway. Die mad, dude. I learned to drive in Boston and Atlanta, you think a Dutchie on a moped scares me? The last thing I want to do here is Columbus and say "as a white woman it opened my eyes to Islamic hate". My experience does not shed light on anything other than the fact that some people are shitty and some people are awesome and for some stupid reason, what you put on your head often determines what you get. Go forth and wear what you want. The slings and arrows about the cultural implications of my headcovering choices do not matter to me and should not matter to anyone, no matter their reasons for what they choose to wear. It sucks that this is something that people need to weigh for safety reasons every day. Once again, to quote a wise memelord, "Religious freedom, kicky daytime drag looks and public transit? SIGN ME THE FUCK UP!"

As a trans girl I suffer with a lot of body dysphoria and my naked appearance costs me a great deal of mental unrest, and I have the looks and glares I get.

Wearing niqab brings me so much joy from this, i can feel pretty and feminine whilst also not exposing myself and remaining modest, its so freeing to not be debilitated by my appearance.

Dear sisters, learn to veil in public, as is prescribed. You will have a much more steadfast life. I am in favour of veiling all women for the sake of the respect they have lost along the way due to the degradation of society, via the median TV, music and smartphones. I also recommend not using it anymore, just a simple mobile phone. May Allah guide you 🍀🍀🍀

I’d like to set the record

I’d like to set the record straight on a point I keep coming across. The idea that anyone who wears a niqab is submissive and is (or wants to be) forced into it. No, I wear the niqab because it protects me and I feel blessed wearing it. No one forced me to do this; I chose to do it of my own free will. Nor am I submissive; I’m a mom who has both feet firmly on the ground.

There are people who, out of sexual desire, want to be forced into it, and I don’t condemn that in the slightest. Fetishes are important, and yes, I have them too. I just want to encourage understanding that not everyone shares the same fetish. The world is diverse, and that’s how it should stay!

Yes, I do show my body on other platforms. Now some of you might be thinking, “But wait, first she covers herself up, and then she reveals her body—that’s a contradiction!” To those people, I’d like to say, “No, the niqab still covers my face and therefore doesn’t reveal who I am. What I’m showing there is my body, which I’m proud of. It took me a long time to find the courage to show it this way. But now that I’ve overcome my fears, I’m happy to show it. Knowing that others also find it beautiful and attractive, it’s a joy for me to take and share pictures of my body. It always makes me happy when I get messages from people saying they really like my pictures.

But beyond the revealing photos, I am still a Muslim woman and an activist. My profiles are and will remain a safe space for everyone under the LGBTIQ* umbrella. I am a mom to various queer people, but not their mistress. I’m happy to continue supporting you with answers, advice, and a listening ear.
