Gender Queer Wonderings

@spaceship-vagina

My names Rickey. I'm 25 and simultaneously succeeding and failing at adulthood. I'm nonbinary, gender queer and queer and also queer. I love discussing and supporting anything and everything related to gender and sexuality discovery, human rights, trans rights, black lives mattering, feminism, queerness, sex positivity, body positivity, and fat positivity.

We've been brainwashed into believing nonsense binaries are the norm

Ever since we were little we were taught to think of things in terms of binaries, even when there’s no real reason to.

We think certain things are opposites even when they aren’t.

Happy is not the opposite of sad. Red is not the opposite of blue, or green. Hate is not the opposite of love. Beautiful is not the opposite of ugly.

Boy is not the opposite of girl.

All these imaginary binaries exist within a spectrum and do not oppose one another. Red and blue and green exist with brown and purple and yellow. Happy and sad exist with angry and annoyed and amused and calm and contented. Hate and love exist with indifference and compassion and affability.

Beautiful and ugly exist with striking, dull, appealing, unremarkable, astounding.

Boy and girl exist alongside nb and genderfluid and intersex.

We were so caught up in simplifying the world and putting it in this box that we forgot the world exists far beyond the box we made for how little of it we can grasp.

Remember that.

Run the Jewels drop some major truth a year after Ferguson

“Riots work.” At least, that’s according to Run the Jewels. In a video exclusive to the BBC, Killer Mike discussed how the events that unfolded on the streets of Ferguson last year forever changed the city for the better. And Ferguson’s own law enforcement actually agrees.

Female Superheroes Under the Costume by JohnRaptor

If superheroes really existed, I don’t think the female ones would look anything like they’re usually depicted in comics. I mean we’re talking about women who’ve dedicated their lives to violent conflict with extremely dangerous people (and aliens, and robots and monsters).

Very helpful comparison between what image of female superheroes media tries to sell us versus what real crimefighter physique would look like.

We’d like to point out, though, that the “chest like a stripper/athlete” bit is problematic and poorly informed. Presumably the artist was referring to the fact that most superheroines are drawn with really big breasts, but framing that as a stripper/athlete dychotomy implies that strippers and athletes don’t come in all shapes and sizes. It also implies that there’s something inherently bad about big boobs and sex work.

Let us propose changing it to from “chest like a stripper” to “magical breasts that stay put without any support” and “chest like an athlete” to “breasts with supportive and comfortable underwear”.

Also a minor note compared to that, but long hair, if tied up or otherwise managed properly, don’t have to get in the way.

today my anthro professor said something kindof really beautiful:

“you all have a little bit of ‘I want to save the world’ in you, that’s why you’re here, in college. I want you to know that it’s okay if you only save one person, and it’s okay if that person is you”
