[👾] autaromantic + autasexual !!!

.*⌒★; autasexual, autaromantic, autaaroace: autasexual and autaromantic were coined by @genderlofi, their definitions are:

.*⌒★; autasexual: when someone isn't sure if they're asexual or not due to autism making attraction confusing or asexuality modified by autism in some way

.*⌒★; autaromantic: when someone isn't sure if they're aromantic or not due to autism making attraction confusing or aromanticism modified by autism in some way.

autaaroace is simply for when you are both of the above.

.*⌒★; im not a huge fan of the original flags because of the autasexual flag’s resemblance to the nby flag and the confusion that causes. i use these terms extremely frequently so i thought it’d be nice to make some flags i feel more comfortable using :)

ORIGINAL COINING POST

.*⌒★; autasexual flag meaning: black, purple, white and grey from the asexual flag, orange and yellow for levels of ambiguity, and red for autism. autism symbol also for autism.

.*⌒★; autaromantic flag meaning: greens and grey from the aromantic flag, orange, yellow and creme for levels of ambiguity, and red for autism. autism symbol also for autism.

.*⌒★; autaaroace flag meaning: purple and black for asexuality, red for autism, orange and creme for ambiguity, greens for aromanticism and spectrum of both attraction and autism. autism symbol also for autism.

As a reminder: libraries, museums, zoos, etc are NOT brand accounts! As an example, the Monterey Bay Aquarium Tumblr is very cool & they support ocean conservation and education! I believe the National Archives and Smithsonian Libraries are also around here somewhere. Support public institutions!

Adding on to the recent neogender/xenogender discourse, I feel that people don't talk enough about the fact that gender umbrellas can overlap a lot, and that acknowledging that xenogender and other neogender umbrellas are different doesn't mean that terms can't be used in a xenine way

You're oddcoric in a xenine way? Cool.

You're oddcoric in a kenine way? Cool.

You're oddcoric in a gender umbrella that the term isn't typically used for? Cool.

I think that people on both sides of the debate fail to realize that distinguishing different umbrellas from xenogender doesn't mean that we have to disown or shrink xenogender's place as an umbrella term, and that labels can be very subjective and not overly strict and categorized.

(feel free to correct me on this if I'm just being dumb, but don't take it as an invitation to start shit with me.)

already got a blazed marvel post. the adpocalypse is closer than we think so heres your daily PSA

don't interact with corporate tumblr accounts

yes even to dunk on them. i don't care if you have the sickest burn of the century lined up, don't even give them the time of day

the eventual and inevitable fall of twitter marks a change in the advertising industry, and tumblr is unclaimed territory. if we want tumblr to remain the social media bastion it has become, it needs to remain as unappealing to corporations as possible. do not engage. in a marketing strategist's eyes, any kind of attention is good attention. don't "silence, brand" them. don't kungpowpenis them. don't send them hate anons. don't hate-follow them. corporate tumblrs are not a single entity and they will not be harassed off this site. we only have a shot at repelling them because of tumblr's lack of an algorithm. so turn off recommended posts on your dashboard, put it chronological order, and install an adblocker. if you don't seek out these blazed posts and actively ignore them when they happen upon you, the corporations will starve. in this case, the best kind of protest is a silent one

I’m watching that documentary “Before Stonewall” about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.

The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one “known homosexual”. The “known homosexual” is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.

So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there’s nothing wrong with him mentally and he’s never been arrested. When asked whether he’d take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he’s gay, he says that they didn’t up until tonight, but he guesses they’re going to find out, and he’ll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like …why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says “I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself.”

1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.

Despite the pseudonym, Dale’s boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary.

Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson’s disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.

It appears that no one has made the connection between Dale Olson the publicity agent instrumental in the AIDS debate and Dale Olson the 22-year-old first openly gay man on TV. So I thought I’d make it. For Pride month, an unsung gay hero.

how many times are intersex people going to have to remind you all to stop throwing us under the bus. when i see dyadic trans people say shit like “no kids are ever prescribed hormones/have surgery” you’re ignoring the hundreds of intersex kids every year who are forced into “normalizing treatments” because the idea of letting kids exist outside the sex binary is something doctors refuse to let happen. doctors and legislators are both incredibly interested in controlling our bodily autonomy as both trans and intersex people—they don’t want any of us to have the freedom to live authentically as ourselves. for trans people, that shows up like restricting access to gender affirming care. for intersex people, that looks like non consensual surgery and hormones that is often times used almost like conversion therapy, especially if you’re both trans and intersex. y’all CANNOT forget about us when you’re calling out transphobia, because I promise you that the transphobes have not forgot about us, as almost every single transphobic bill about restricting gender affirming care in the United States has also left explicit provisions to ensure that intersex genital mutilation and nonconsensual hormone therapy can continue. Dyadic trans people, you really should be able to understand why doctors denying people the ability to live as their authentic self without coercion is a problem, and you all NEED to stop acting like our fights for bodily autonomy are in conflict when in reality, it is two sides of the same coin.

I might not be perfect, I definitely don’t have all of the answers, and I’m not all the way there yet but I’m getting there.

And that’s what matters. That’s what I’m most proud of.

I can only be as good as I can allow myself.

I am better than I was last year, and next year I will be better then I am right now.

I deserve to be happy. To dance. To laugh,

I deserve what’s to come, and I will stick around long enough to see it.

I am here and I am okay.

i feel kind of bugged out by umbrellas that are like "any gender outside of x" because i feel like the more things that are coined that create more categories, the less these descriptions work, and the more they shrink

like, one of the definitions of xenogender (which, btw, i don't really support wikis changing the original definition of xenogender, even if i don't like that one too much either, bc it's still rude to the coiner idk) is "any gender outside of male female neutral androgynous and outherine" (or something like that) and to that i say.... first of all that is clumping a LOT of things together that aren't necessarily related, and then secondly...

when people start making shit like lumenoir, luxine, kenochoric, aetherine, etc., and placing them alongside male, female, neutral, etc., the response is either putting it under xenogender (which a lot of these coiners don't want), OR now the definition of xenogender is "any gender outside of male female neutral androgynous outherine kenochoric luxine lumenoir mortelum aetherine rosenion etc etc" and to me it just feels like that will shrink the xenogender label over time

so when they're COINED they might make sense, but i think in the long run having these kinds of definitions can be very damaging. with a term like "nonbinary" it makes sense because it's outside of the extremely widespead and not-changing-any-time-soon gender binary of male and female, but outside of that, especially with neogenders, it's something that i think has just been causing more and more conflict. people see xenogender in a set way that in the long-run either tries to include terms that don't fit, OR that inevitably shrinks the labels' scope over time

idk where i'm going with this, just something that's been on my mind tbh

kenochoric-moved

ok i'm not done rambling but i promise this part is the last

so i think there is kind of this conflict between two parts of the LIOM community; there's one that wants to fit everything into sectioned categories, where terms like xenogender are great because it groups up all kinds of new genders into a neat little bow, and the people who simply do not prescribe their idea of gender in any way comparable to a dictionary or wiki. there's people who feel a strong desire to make sure everything has its place, everything has its distinction and its perfect distinguishing factor that makes things different, and there's people who just want their identity and umbrellas to be expressed by what they are, not what they aren't, or how they relate to 6 other terms, or a perfect definition that can explain what makes it not be a part of this other term they had no part in. they aren't really concerned with categorization or perfect rules because gender doesn't work that way for them. they're not "under" anything. they just are.

therein kinda lies the issue between these new neogenders (kenochoric, luxine, etc.) and the technicality of whether or not they're xenogenders, outherine, or whatever. to someone who wants this clean, neat distinction, the lines in the sand that properly show you what is what and how everything fits into its niche, the idea that a gender not only functions more off of vague ideas, but that isn't part of the most commonly used umbrella term, really throws people off. at the same time, to people who don't get this whole thing with throwing stuff under the perfect umbrella term based off of clear-cut and (to some of us) restrictive definitions, people trying to put that framework on these experiences just annoy or upset them because that was not the intention of what they made, nor is it comparable to what they experience.

for me, i don't even need xenogender as a framework because neogender exists. for me personally, there is nothing about xenogender that applies or even feels relevant to my experiences. but to others, who are xenogender and who want a clear distinction between terms, this can be baffling and confusing. this is probably why i get a million asks a week asking me How i can properly distinguish x and y, even though imo i think they're just coming from different places and experiences in the end.

so essentially.... with people coming in about the "technicality," it just ends up missing the point. because for some people, none of this is about technicality. it's about experiences from vague ideas and connections. there is nothing technical about it for some, where for others technicality is everything. and neither of these things are bad, but they are in conflict with each other sometimes.

idk. again, i don't know where i'm going with this, but i do think it's a conflict of needs / experiences and i don't think i'm intelligent enough to come up with an answer for it
