briefly rising from a couple of really sick weeks to muse.
I don't put # men dni on any of my posts.
I don't like it. I find it dysphoria inducing and I find that transmasculine, nonbinary, and genderqueer community often find it dysphoria inducing. I find it anti indigenous. I find it colonial. I find it tired and reductive. nonbinary people are not all "non men" white feminine afabs with they/them pronouns who are agender/neutral about gender writ large. a lot of nonbinary people are actually bigender+. a lot of us have race(s) that play into our gender.
man/woman arent inherent opposites in any way. it's a really white & Western idea to believe otherwise. I understand sapphic community not wanting cis men to fetishize them, and blah blah fucking blah, and simultaneously, whether you tell them to "dni" or not, I don't think the ones you're worried about would stop or think twice if they're the ones you actually want to dni. however transmasculine people and trans men, especially the butch and lesbian variety, will think twice if we are allowed to be around you, or should be around you at all.
because we dont want others to be uncomfortable. we dont want you to be uncomfortable.
I also always worry about alienating people exploring gender, new to exploring gender, or baby transfems on any of my posts. I simply block men that are weird and fetishistic to me. trans or cis.
being bipoc & gender complex in what feels and seems to be majority white agender fem(me) "non men" spaces makes me a little insane.
but no. I don't put "men dni." I find it exhaustive. regressive. overstated. you're not really as inclusive of "nonbinary people" as you think you are if your idea of nonbinary actually just means "(white) neutral/feminine/woman adjacent."
atp im gonna start blocking people en masse using this rhetoric. people irl are really normal about all of this (in that i dont get minced about who i am and what my gender is or should be). people online cannot fucking shut up about men when they make lesbian, sapphic, or wlw posts.
“For white folks especially, not looking like you're oppressed is equivalent to not being oppressed. That's why they look at Black people in certain positions of middle class lifestyle and say, ‘Well, you're you're not discriminated against.’ That's why they don't count microaggressions as racism historically. That's why they don't look at neocolonial situations as colonial even though they clearly are, because it doesn't look like obvious racism. It doesn't look like obvious white supremacy. That's why white people are like this. And that's why again, you know, white queers have racism envy. That's the term I'm going to use. Straightforward, white queers have racism envy. They think in their heads that the kind of social currency you get from being obviously discriminated against is something that could be wanted, desired, sought after in any serious way, which in itself is racist, is anti-Black. The idea that not only you being straight-passing is something that maps onto exactly what being white-passing is, but also that this is some sort of crime against the marginalized community and some sort of indication of your having special powers over other people. I mean, that's just queerphobic and based off of how you read that, it's racist.”

Hey, poc transmascs, you can be a pretty boy. You don't have to be a pale, skinny twink with fluffy and coloured hair to be valid.
Embrace as much or as little masculinity as you want. Embrace as much or as little androgyny as you want. Embrace as much or as little femininity as you want.
It fills me with so much joy when poc transmen/transmascs be pretty and cute and GNC. I've been having such a tough time feeling like I can be pretty while also being transmasc, so I just wanna uplift everyone else so we can all feel good about ourselves. Let's be pretty together!
This includes enby, genderfluid, demigender, bigender etc. poc transmascs as well.
Sapphic Books for AANHPI Heritage Month
Have you read any of these sapphic AANHPI books? Which of these sapphic AANHPI books are on your tbr?
Share this post to add more queer books to your tbr during AANHPI Heritage Month!
Happy Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month (AANHPI Heritage Month)! This month celebrates about 40 distinct groups originating from the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. Observing AANHPI Heritage Month by reading queer books is an opportunity to understand and appreciate diverse cultures and experiences you may feel unfamiliar with. For me, a bisexual Palestinian in a sapphic relationship, these stories have an extra special place in my heart. I wish I'd had them growing up.
These queer stories help deconstruct the false binary that being queer and Asian are mutually exclusive (as a queer Palestinian, I'm often told that my own people will "throw me off rooftops," which is just lovely). Queer books also help normalize queer identities, experiences, and relationships, which is becoming increasingly important as book banning becomes more common. These books are more than entertainment for some of us; they're a form of validation, comfort, even acting as a lifeline when we feel alone. Finding these books can help queer readers find acceptance, even between pages.
I know the more I type, the less you read, but please don't ignore these books, ESPECIALLY sapphic books as achillian books are fetishized and sapphic stories are thrown to the wayside. Instead, please consider sharing this list of sapphic books for AANHPI Heritage Month, adding sapphic books to your tbr, and celebrating these diverse + queer voices yearround.
