Historically, the narratives of Queer women of color have been underrepresented by the dominant culture. This blog will hopefully voice the narratives of Queer women of color, my blog cannot reach all Queer women of color because as people often do. I put myself into my work. A lot of the blogging I do is more Latina centered which embraces a “borderland consciousness”. This consciousness was first introduced by Chicana feminist writer Gloria E. Anzaldúa as a notion of existing in the ‘in between’. In other words, that third space allows us queers to embrace our existing complex intersecting identities. The Mestiza consciousness as a theory can also be applied to the experiences and narratives that Queer/women of color experience being internal exiles. The main purpose of this blog is to share the knowledge and experiences with other Queer women of color, in order to theoretically queer the hetero-normative cyber space.

@wallflowercabaret got me this for the holidays. I wanted it for my own library, but I’m going to read it to my son as well. I think it’s just as important for boys to learn about badass women as it is for girls.

This Trans Teen’s Parents Tried To “Fix” Him By Sending Him To India

“My parents thought there was something wrong with me because I wasn’t living my life the way they wanted. I didn’t fit the mold,” Bhatt explained. “They told me that I would eventually get an arranged marriage to a man.”

On September 10, the Indian queer resource group Nazariya helped Bhatt escape his family. The activists also provided Bhatt with legal counsel and shelter. That’s when things got complicated. Bhatt’s parents filed a complaint with the local police. Bhatt and supporters said his father, who he says is relatively wealthy and well-connected, used his power and influence to harass the activists.
