This International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, here’s a little Trans 101 for y’all: Trans People are people and we are not all the same. We are individuals who have agency and autonomy whether the government or society at large is ready for that to be true is irrelevant.
Being against transphobia means being ALL THE WAY HERE FOR trans folks’ agency and autonomy.

ID [text on rainbow background reads “a friendly reminder that you don’t need to fully understand the nuances of gender identity to know that each individual person knows who they are better than you ever will.”]
Gender expression is basically fanfiction for your body
you can write it, rewrite it, and add sparkles whenever you want ✨
Putting on a dress doesn’t make you “something else.”
It just lets a different chapter of you have the spotlight for a while.
Clothes don’t define gender they decorate it.
And self-love means letting yourself play dress-up with the world’s expectations until it finally looks like you.

Travel-doodle I rendered for fun. It's my character Adrian (a few months into his transition) from my scifi comic "Wicker". Transpeople don't owe anyone conformity. We don't exist for you, and we will never go away. We are not your kink. Also Fuck fascists. I had a blast with this one 💅
Synarmogender is a genderfluid identity and a subset, or micro-label, that falls under Mutogender. In Synarmogender, one's gender changes while in awareness of another person’s gender preferences. A person who identifies as Synarmogender experiences shifts in their own gender presentation or identity based on the attractions or preferences of others, which may occur either through direct interaction or simply by being aware of the other person’s existence.
Etymology
The term Synarmogender combines Greek roots with modern language constructs to capture the sense of a gender experience that aligns or adapts to others. Here’s a breakdown:
"Syn-": Derived from the Greek σύν (syn), meaning "together" or "with," this prefix implies connection or alignment.
"Armo-": Rooted in άρμοζω (armozō), which translates to "fit," "join," or "harmonize." This conveys the idea of a gender experience that adjusts or synchronizes with another person’s sense of gender or expectations.
"Gender": A term commonly added to denote aspects related to gender identity or experience.
Synarmogender thus describes a gender identity that shifts, molds, or aligns to "fit" or harmonize with the gender expressions or preferences of others, emphasizing connection and adaptability in one’s gender experience.
Characteristics
Synarmogender individuals may experience shifts in their gender identity based on the following examples:
Masculine Preference: When aware of someone who is attracted to masculine individuals, a Synarmogender person may feel or identify as more masculine.
Feminine Preference: When aware of someone who is attracted to feminine individuals, they may feel or identify as more feminine.
Multiple Preferences: If they become aware of someone attracted to multiple genders, the Synarmogender individual may feel aligned with one or more of those genders, reflecting the broad spectrum of attraction.
Group Awareness: When aware of multiple people who share an attraction to specific gender identities, a Synarmogender individual might align with a common gender identity that all share or with one or more identities to which the group is collectively and/or individually attracted.
Lack of Awareness: If unaware of the preferences of the individual or full group, they may feel like any gender or experience gender apathy (also known as apagender).
Partial Awareness: If only aware of some of a group's preferences, they may identify with the preferences of those individuals they are aware of or align with any gender or feel gender apathetic.
Specific Preferences with Specific Individuals: They may feel specific genders with specific people—such as being feminine with one person and preferring feminine terms with that individual—while feeling masculine with another. In a group context, they may identify with specific genders linked to specific individuals or feel or identify with one or more gender preferences if there is no common link between others in the group.
Additional Notes
Personal Preference Independence: The identity shifts within Synarmogender do not need to be influenced by the Synarmogender individual’s own sexual or romantic preferences, although they may sometimes align depending on the individual.
Synarmogender individuals may also identify as non-binary or transgender but do not have to.

Flags and Symbolic Meaning
The Synarmogender flag is an edit of the original Mutogender flag created by Fandom user pastelmemer or pride-flags-for-us, in which the colors were just a color edit of the genderfluid flag. The Mutogender flag was then rearranged to have all genders and lack of gender at the top and bottom of the flag instead of having masculine and feminine on top and bottom, as it felt most natural to its creator to have feminine and masculine sandwiched by the less common gender identities depicted to represent solidarity among all individuals under the genderfluid flag.
It was then color-shifted again from its original state of the Mutogender flag until its creator felt it was fitting and similar to the genderfluid flag; however, one color was switched out from a dull pink to a magenta for aesthetic reasons and also for a personal joke, changing it to the hex code “#b00b69.”
This resulted in the flag’s current state from top to bottom being white for all genders, blue for feminine identities, purple for masculine and feminine identities, magenta (#b00b69) for masculine, and black for null/lack of gender. The flag’s creator intentionally left feminine as blue and masculine as magenta (#b00b69) to challenge traditional gender roles and preconceptions. This also nods to the historical context of pink for boys and blue for women, highlighting how societal perceptions can change over time and emphasizing the ongoing fight for freedom and rights.

As a member of this community, I have some questions on your sexuality labels. How can one be aroace yet lesbian, gay, bi, or whatever? Please explain. Because this confusion is the result of me being unlabeled
I have no complaints for your gender department. Although please separate gender-fluid and genderexpression. Gender expression is what you decide to present yourself by what you wear while Gender-fluid is whatever fucking gender you want. I almost had a crisis when I thought genderfluid and genderexpression were the same thing
The term Two-Spirit initially emerged into contemporary vernacular in the 1990s when Indigenous people began actively resisting colonial values and processes and are working towards the reclamation of Two-Spirit identities. Indigenous LGBTT2QQIA groups rejected the Western anthropological definitions of Indigenous homosexual and transgender people and determined that the mainstream lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender identities did not include their Indigenous cultural understandings of gender and sexuality.3 Two-Spirit is a self-descriptor used by all gender and sexual variant Indigenous people in Canada and the United States that honours our ancestral past and reclaims our Indigenous identity. * * * * #twospirit #nativeart #2slgbtqiaplus #genderidentity #genderexpression #tomboy #androgynous #lesbian #genderfluid #reclaimyourpower #strongresilientindigenous #lgbtqia #lgbtqia2s #indigenous #indigenousart #haudenosaunee #drag #itsthelgbt #genderfluid #indigenousqueer #gendernonconforming #genderqueer #lgbtqyouth #indigiqueer #queeraf #nonbinarygender #enby (at Akwesasne Mohawk Territory) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjTL-LGLPxt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
hey again! so i was scrolling through lgbtq quotes, and i found one about being yourself. and i remembered how this helped with my identity. so, it’s a simple exercise that i hope will help you a little.
first, imagine that you are in a world that you can be who you really are. no one’s going to judge you. you can use any word to describe your identity. what pronouns would you use? what’s your gender? what’s your sexuality? how do you express your gender? what types of people are you attracted to?
don’t think about this world. there are so many limits in this world. imagine there are no limits. don’t think about what you wish you were in this life. just think about how you truly would be if no one’s there to judge you.
those answers to the questions i asked might get you closer to figuring out your identity. i didn’t want to identify as nonbinary before, because i was scared i would just be taking the label when it doesn’t belong to me. i didn’t want to take they/them, because i was scared i’d be being unfair to a whole community. but the truth is, i wanted to use those labels. and they felt right. so, just... what feels right? think about it like that.
okay. i have something else to say. so while i was thinking about how this world has so many limits, and, like, binders and stuff like that aren’t free, i made up this little bar. anyone 12 and up can go to. so, basically, there’s a bunch of different things you can get, and it’s all free. don’t worry, though, you have to be 21 and up for the drinks. but there are makeup shops and wig stores within the bar. you could also get a hair cut there. of course, if you’re 21 or up, you can get a drink. there’s always lgbtq+ singers singing songs up on the stage. there might be bedrooms upstairs, to stay in this place for longer than just the night. you can bye binders and stuff like that. there might even be a quieter room, so if you have autism or you don’t like loud noises, you can have a quiet party within there. there are only ramps and no stairs, so wheelchairs fit. add whatever you’d like. and just imagine that whenever you feel lonely. imagine yourself entering the bar, meeting new people, going a second time, making friends, coming a lot. imagine this is actually happening.
if you believe in reality shifting, script all that and reality shift there!
