You are not progressive if you call Two Spirit a "native version of nonbinary/genderqueer/bigender/agender". Two Spirit is Two Spirit.

I keep referencing that tree image used to demonstrate why the LGB without the T is awful, and will not help transphobic pericis queer people at all like they seem to think, to explain how intersexism in the trans community is the same. I tried to find it to make an edit of it to but couldn’t. So, have my shoddy stick figure attempt at recreation:

I just realized I misspelled something, but oh well. The ALT text fixes it, and my handwriting is awful I know, I am try to make a better version later but until then or unless I don’t the alt text could help you understand it better as well.

Anywho. The 2S keeps getting docked off, too, dismissed and mislabeled so that’s why it’s with the I. And the vast majority of the I is not queerphobic or transphobic, before someone zeroes in on that thinking they got a real zinger. They do exist, though, unfortunately. There are also intersexist intersex people, whether they consider themselves trans or not, whether they are queer or not who are not -phobic to the acronym at large (or insist they aren’t) that join in on sawing off other intersex people but I didn’t know where to put those. Being gender diverse or queer sadly does not automatically make you a good person.

I don’t know what else to say other than we need to love each other more than they hate us. We need to protect each other. We should be lifting each other up, being an actual community, not ripping each other to shreds. Our scapegoating our already scapegoated community helps fascists, they attack from outside and you do from within doing that.

I wish more people knew that the acronym is MMIWG2S, not just MMIW. It stands for "Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2-Spirit People". Never leave out the girls and 2spirit individuals affected by this, please

The government wanted my ancestors dead for their land and resources, now they want me and everyone like me dead because we dare exist outside of the box of binary, immutable gender roles and norms pressed onto everyone. They can try to erase me all they want, but they will NOT kill me inside while I’m still alive. I’m NOT going back in the closet; if the government of this country wants me dead, they’ll have to kill me as me.

been thinking about my taíno ancestors and man i love them, they are so dear to me and learning about them has made my life so much brighter. i love being indigenous

[elizabeths-dumbassery]

Off to see Lilo and Stitch cus it was already pre-planned before everything on the movie came out. I'll make a post confirming which rumors are true or not, cus I know how things become an echo chamber with this sorta movie-

If I feel pissed off enough ill make a post on how they handled things from an indigenous perspective- itll take a bit but ill make sure to have sources to provide context on why it is bad instead of just spitting words cus I know that gets confusing.

Gotta love how the FIRST fucking thing I see on Tumblr today is some racist fucking cunt inmy inbox telling me *I'm* actually the racist one for calling them racist. And IMMEDIATELY following it up by QUESTIONING MY FUCKING INDIGENOUS BLOOD and fucking citing blood quantum at me with asking what fucking percent I am. Fucking hate these stupid ass fucking racists and their idiotic fucking beliefs.

Blood quantum is fucking eugenics used to erase native blood over time. Blood quantum is eugenics used to determine who is "acceptable" and who isn't. And if you're gonna fucking cite that shit at me, just fucking poor hot fucking tar down your throat and do the rest of us a favor
