Feeling some type of way about pink today, I guess.

[thedeercomplex]

I was feeling like absolute shit the first half of this week and I was getting really bummed out about it because I don't love feeling sad without knowing why. But then I realized it was just the few days leading up to my shot, which immediately relieved my being bummed out, knowing it wasn't permanent, and I'm even feeling better this morning, but I'm realizing this routine of feeling and acting like a wet sack of shit for three consecutive days every two weeks isn't really gonna be sustainable (especially not this semester) and something is wrong with my dose. But nothing is wrong with using snapchat filters to make you feel better!

Transgender Healthcare

This week we are continuing our survey for transgender health care! If you are a trans person who has been on hormones, had surgery, or knows of clinics/locations in your state where trans people can receive trans related healthcare, please fill out our quick survey. 

We will be compiling all of the information into an easy to navigate page for trans folks searching for help in their area. Information is empowering and we need your help to make this successful. 

Please take two minutes to fill the survey out, reblog this post, and share our survey wherever you can.

Putting a sweater on over your overalls and trying to go to the bathroom more like wrestling with a small t-rex all by yourself.

Hey can you please not refer to all LGBT people by the q-slur? Its ok if you want to reclaim it for yourself, thats fine, but can you please not call other people that? Its still a slur and makes me really uncomfortable to see and be reffered to by as well as seeing a lot of other people or an entire group be called it.

I use queer instead of LGBT because, as a trans person, it feels as though LGBT spaces are not made for me or for others like me. Often LGBT spaces will solely represent gay or lesbian people without much regard for other sexualities or for trans people–while benefitting from statistics that trans women specifically create(trans women are the target of over 50% of violent hate crimes that the “LGBT” community faces, with trans women of color the most targeted and murdered).

Queer is a blanket term I use not to specifically talk about sexuality but to talk about identities as a whole. Queer gender, queer love, queer lifestyles that don’t fit into some of the cookie cutter shapes created by the LGBT community. If I used just “LGBT,” I wouldn’t be painting the image of the people I am a part of, that I support, that I love, and that I am here for.

I am not talking to every LGBT person when I talk about queer people. I am talking about self identified queer individuals who do not fit into LGBT spaces safely. People who need representation and safety that is not afforded to them by mainstream “LGBT safe spaces.”

Not to mention, not a single one of my identities is mentioned by the acronym, people need to stop trying to censor our reclaimed usage of queer.

[kshma-deactivated20180712]

“Queer is an umbrella term for sexual and gender minorities that are not heterosexual or cisgender.”

It represents those who identify as asexual, aromantic, panromantic, demiromantic, demisexual, ace, agender, non binary, demisexual, pansexual, etc. It is simply an umbrella term for those who are not represented properly and safely by LGBT.

The term queer, as Andrew has said, can represent queer gender, queer love, queer lifestyles. It represents what we choose it to represent. And we shouldn’t be afraid to use it because homophobic and transphobic people use it as an insult/slur.

It is not an insult to be queer.

another wednesday, another shot day, 1 year 4 months into this mess.

so i grew and inch and a half

it started when someone I hadn’t seen in two weeks said you look thinner and i thought i’d just been eating really badly, but then i remembered other things, too, like:

-my bike had recently become too short, and I thought it was just my seat post sliding down because it wasn’t properly tightened -my back had been hurting, which could still be unrelated, but it hasn’t been hurting recently, yet it hurt for 8 months before that -my legs have been really unreasonably tired after doing relatively the same ride to school as I’ve been doing for almost two years -i thought i felt taller the other day, standing next to someone I’ve known for a long time, and also just generally thinking I’ve been a little taller -my longer pants don’t need to be rolled up at the bottom anymore

IN CONCLUSION i got taller. and i didn’t expect that to happen.

life goal: have so few gender identifying characteristics that people can’t tell what gender I am so they don’t gender me.

[bottledambition]

Hey check this out! Help if you can, even if you don’t ride or ride very little. The cycling scene is very male dominated and very cis-centric. I know there are cycling queers out there, let’s get some representation!
