Stickers de Pride, version radfem !

(Please share even if you don't speak french <3)

Hi ! Since I didn't saw any in French, I made a set of LGB stickers ! They are available on my ko-fi shop for the price of 10 cent each, just enough to cover the costs of making them myself.

I wanted to make a nice product inspired by street culture, so they're waterproof and can be put on streetlamps, bus stops or just your laptop if you're brave enough.

I made two sets, the first one for realistic people who just wants to celebrate the diversity of sexual orientations. The second one is to remind gender activists that our sexual attraction is not based on sexist stereotypes and that we do not identify with a foreign homophobic slur.

You can buy them here : Luma Lambda's Shop

By the way if some of you happen to know where I can find good and cheap options to make waterproof stickers, plz DM me, cricuts papers are hella expensive and I don't have that kinda money.

Yesterday I listened to some Trans People trying to explain to a new ally why, transgender is valid but trans-racial and therians (trans-species) arent. The funny thing is, all the arguments they made about the non-validity off these identities could also be applied to their own.

- Identifying with cultural/socialisation off another group doesn't mean you can and should become/modify your body to become one off them

- as close you feel to a group doesn't mean you can enter their specific space or suffer from their oppression

- Hating the form you're born into and the socialisation around it doesn't mean you can and should try to escaping it by calling yourself something else

- Basically "that's not reality" / "you can't bend reality that way"

Why don't this things apply to transgenderism but not to transracialism and transspecism ? The poor woman invited on the video didn't ask. Was she to confused ? I dunno, what I know for sure is that she would have received names if she did, because there is no good answer.

I'm sick of the word "cisgender"

It's impressive how words can impact the way we think. I'm not used to shoot my thoughts in the Tumblr void so I hope to stay pertinent in my ramble.

They say this word and his prefix "cis" are only descriptive, but if they were, there would be little to no problem. But nah, it's prescriptive, because gender is. It doesn't just mean "non-trans", it implies the happiness with one's assigned gender. Assigned based on sex. Assigned on the thing I had to fight most of my life to learn to accept because a gender is tied to it.

When "woman" become "cis-woman", I lose the ability to be my sex without all the stereotypes of the pink gender. And it hurts. It hurts not only because I have nothing to do with theses stereotypes and it alienates me from myself... But because I know it does for so many women and girls out there.

What happened to the freedom of being everything you want whatever the sex you're born into ?!

Who would want the choice between accepting a pre-made personality and oppression based on their body, and the denial of said body and infinite poisoning of it just to be able to choose an other set of personality traits ?! What sens does it makes when humans are so plural and creative ?

Now the only thing I can do is try to help other females to remember or see that we can simply be women and girls. That we can do and like everything without trying to flee from reality.

Words can create cages of the mind. But by looking at them closely and truly understanding them, we can take back our ability to think more freely.

--- - I wish you the best, to the pleasure of meeting you again, bye.

About this blog

Hi ! Luma's here !

Just so you know, I mostly queue other's posts, but if I say something, I'll add the tag "LumaSaid" or "LumaAsk" so it can be found back in my sea of reblogs.

I like to design french LGB / Radfem stickers like this ones and I'm very open to suggestions of slogans and designs <3

The legend says that somewhere in the abyss of tumblr, lies a blog full of only my art...

I may or may not add an "about me" under a cut. Will decide later.

Today I made a new little profil pic for myself, the other one was very dated and didn't really convey the right vibe for the anymore. I made this one on my phone so I kept it low effort for the sake off my sanity and still ended up very happy of my result !

j'aimerai aussi homosexuelle pas homogenrelle

Tu veux dire, juste celui-là sans le pack "LGB pas Q*" ?

Hey! As a radfem, how do you tackle people asking your pronouns (especially irl where you can't just ignore the question)? Since I started rejecting aesthetic femininity, people constantly assume I must be nonbinary or something and I never know how to respond to this in a way that reflects my true beliefs without causing all out war

Well. The only way I "follow" femininity is by liking my hair long, but this alone seems to keep the pronouns question away most of the time.

But not always. When I'm asked, I simply say that "nah, I'm just a woman", that I "don't care", or that I don't "bother with having a gender" nor "the way people talk about me".

I keep the joyful energy and get to pass as the fun and weird one.

(For me the hard part is to not dwell on the fact that to them "she" means "girly" and that it irritates me)

Being queer-passing as a radfem is one hella exhausting experience... I'm always happy to make any not so conforming/neurodiverse young woman safe but having to dodge genders questions and walking on eggs with so many subjects is a burden that I'm not always ready to bear.

Sometimes I would like to be the one feeling safe around peers. The one to know my interests can and will be respected without my physical reality being erased.
