I want to leave a reminder that people of every race, religion, sexuality, gender, ect. deserve support | 27 He/They | As long as you aren't wishing death or pain on another person/group/minority, you are welcome here
I'm looking to get others to consider what happens once the fights for everyone to exist lessen
To remember that we're here because of hateful rhetoric being used by hateful people. That adopting the hateful rhetoric to benefit you(/minorities) doesn't change that it's hateful
To mourn the people we've lost and will continue to lose in these fights to exist
To believe that this moment, despite the terrors and genocides that MUST end, won't be the end of humanity
That if there is going to be a future, we have to remember how to not just exist, but co-exist
What I believe
Palestine must be free
Isreali leaders must be removed from office and tried alongside the military for crimes against gaza/Palestine
Hamas must be removed from power and tried for their crimes and calls for genocide
It's not the fault of Jewish people that gaza is a warzone, the blame falls to Netanyahu/isreali *military* and Hamas
Isreal and Palestine must be allowed to rebuild/exist
America is a fascist nation
Transmisogyny exists and is actively harming the trans community
Transandrophobia exists and is actively harming the trans community
Religion isn't "evil"
Physical characteristics don't make you inherently "evil"
Sexuality/Gender doesn't make you inherently "evil"
Willfully harming another community/person for being "different" is evil
Spouting hate as "dark humor" is distasteful at best, actively causing more harm at worst
If the choices someone is making don't harm anyone, leave them alone. Even when you don't personally agree with the choice
Extra Notes
I'm not going to entertain hyper-radical views on my posts. Antagonistic comments are generally deleted. Sometimes, I use them to expand on whatever post is getting the comment.
I keep my anger and actions against what is happening off the internet for personal safety. It's also why I'm not going to give more than my age and pronouns on this blog.
I want to create a zine, specifically collecting lived experiences/creative works from masculine/neutral aligned people who have:
Been Pregnant
Gave Birth and/or
Had an Abortion
My primary goal is to create a resource for people with uteri who don't identify as "mom" to find solidarity and feel like their voices are being heard. This isn't to negate the pain and struggles of cis women/femme aligned people, this is so we can have a more clear understanding of just how many people are being harmed. Along with that, I'm also hoping to remind everyone that men getting pregnant isn't just a fictional trope. We don't exist to be viewed as kinky objects. We're not a joke or an impossible concept, we exist and we deserve to be seen as the humans we are.
My secondary goal is to create a space where queer parents can find solidarity and ask questions that would otherwise get them misgendered/cut from conversations. We all deserve a support network. I plan to post questions and tips that come from the community in between publications that can also become resources for newer/questioning seahorse dads and uteri-having parents.
Why I Want To Do This
Offline, trans men, other gender queer people and intersex people with uteri are afterthoughts in conversations around abortion, pregnancy and childbirth (and menstruation) although more often, we aren't considered in the conversations at all. Online, the idea that men get pregnant is considered to be a fictional concept that can be used as a joke or kink with no room for conversations involving our actual lives. I spent 5 years failing to find more than a handful of stories from people like me and it sucks because I know we exist. We should be able to share our voices and we can't. I have to at least try and change that, don't I?
We deserve a voice in conversations that have always affected us too. We deserve to be seen as the living people that we are.
Before submitting something to the zine, please look at the Submission Guidelines
You can submit through dm, asks (they won't be posted directly to the blog) or email([email protected])

HEY YOU! want to know how to support Indigenous communities this Indigenous Peoples Day? Lets talk about the Ambler Road project.
The Ambler Road project is a proposed 211 mile long route cutting through Alaska from Dalton to the Ambler Mining District, in order to strip Alaska of its natural resources such as copper and cobalt.
Under the Biden administration, this plan for The Ambler Road was rejected in 2024, only for the Trump administration to undo this decision and begin the process of building this road.
NOW WHY IS THIS A BAD THING?
This plan would disrupt and destroy the lands and lives of as many as 30 indigenous tribes located in Alaska, as well as causing irreversible harm to many native Alaskan species such as the Arctic Caribou, Salmon, Whitefish and Sheefish, all of which are important species to Alaska's ecosystems, and are also important food for Indigenous peoples in Alaska. The Ambler Road has been opposed by by no less than 89 Indigenous and First Nations tribes, and passed resolutions against it as well. It is also VERY unpopular with local non natives in the area.
According to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, funding is to begin in spring of 2026.
SO WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP?
Lots of things!
nativemovement.org has a petition here that can be signed! The site contains more information as well on the project and just how devastating it would be if it was brought to fruition.
Brooks Range Council is fighting to halt progress as well and has great information posted on there site which you can find here. You can also donate money to them here!
and finally noamblerroadaction.org is encouraging people to send substantial comments to the Bureau of Land Management, and provides a guide on how to build a substantial comment! The site can be found here.
Please help us protest against this project and protect our lands and culture this Indigenous Peoples Day!

Lawyers and family members report that they have been unable to locate the inmates at the infamous Florida prison after they disappeared fro
Hundreds of people detained at the Alligator Alcatraz immigration processing center west of Miami, Florida, appear to have vanished. They have disappeared from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) online database, and their lawyers and families have been unable to locate them, according to immigrant advocacy groups.
“When searching for people detained there, the ICE locator now says, ‘Call the Florida Department of Corrections for details,’” says Luis Sorto of Sanctuary of the South, a network that offers legal services and participated in a lawsuit against the government over restrictions on access to lawyers for detainees at the infamous immigration jail.
All of the plaintiffs who were being held at the center were transferred to another location after a new lawsuit was filed in August challenging Florida’s authority to detain people there, Sorto added. That lawsuit also noted that the detainees did not appear in ICE’s tracking system.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which filed the lawsuit, described Alligator Alcatraz as a “black hole,” noting that some people were “missing,” effectively “off the radar” of the immigration system, and “their lawyers and families often don’t know where they are or how to contact them.”
As the title says, the Trans Guy Archive is looking for collaborators to help fill the TGA with historical profiles, essays, articles, and more! This is a volunteer-based project; I'm too broke to pay everyone even though I'd like to.

One of the most traumatizing times of the year for native americans starts soon AND it happens during Native American History Month (November) so I wanted to get ahead of all that by making this post about thanksgiving/thanks-taking now. Yes, in September.
"I don't celebrate Thanksgiving I just show up for the food"
Let me tell you how this looks to natives.
So you show up to gather around food that's been prepared for the community/family and.... pretend to hate it.
Not only that, you do it when several genocides are happening at once Right Now and people are losing family left and right and cant safely gather around a meal if they wanted to because no food is being ALLOWED into where they are and even when aid is provided the place where aid is provided is bombed. That's nothing to say of how native american reservations exist within food deserts that in some cases are even radioactive.
And your "allyship" as a settler is showing up to eat too much food around your still breathing family while loudly pretending to hate the entire concept of it from a house built on stolen land. AND you won't even bring that last part up because you're afraid of conflict.
Do you hear it now? Can you hear how tone deaf that is?
So Im asking y'all to NOT act like colonizers this year. Can this autumn NOT be traumatizing for natives PLEASE.
Nobody wants to see your Thanksgiving plate pictures, I promise. Especially not this year, but trust we don't want to see them any year after this one either.
Here are some actually important days and dates for you to know
September 30th: Orange Shirt Day
Orange Shirt Society
Growing awareness of the individual, family and community intergenerational impacts of Residential Schools. At OSS, we
October 13: Indigenous Peoples Day
November 1-30: National Native American Heritage Month
Fourth Thursday in November: National Day Of Mourning
A great way to spend all of these days rather than being performative and ineffective is to:
Generally? Just do literally anything you can to become better allies to native people. Inform and educate yourself, support us materially and politically, stand up with us, dismantle your negative preconceptions about us, learn about settler colonialism and how you can be an ally with us against it. Be mindful of us!!!
Learn how to pay your respects on each day. Yes, wear an orange shirt on orange shirt day, but you should still listen to natives even when it's not a special month or day.
Learn about landback and settler colonialism
Learn about the tribes near you; the good (like games, art, and beliefs) and the bad (like how they specifically were impacted by colonization and how Your town profited off that).
See if they have a website and go through it, donate to the tribe if you can and/or learn how to support them and speak up. My local tribes for example are deeply focused on restoring salmon and tearing down harmful dams so spreading awareness about that locally is very important to me!! For tribes like the Navajo/Diné this could mean fighting nuclear exploitation and demanding reparations for it.
Stand in solidarity with native tribes and other people around the globe in fighting U.S imperialism by taking a stand against the harmful political beliefs your family & friends hold. Hold your politicians to a higher standard.
Where you sit to eat on National Mourning Day is LITERALLY your seat at the proverbial colonizer's table, it's a seat that NO indigenous people will ever be invited to. The conversations at that table are conversations only settlers can have. So make them count. Make your fellow settlers uncomfortable with the violence they perpetuate and celebrate.
I'm not asking you to pick a gunfight with your racist uncle for allyship, but being uncomfortable and making other settlers uncomfortable in their identity as settlers is quite literally the LEAST you can do.
Buy things from natives as a other way to support us!! Native jewelery and art is gorgeous!
Donate to natives!! We've faced generations of oppression (look up when natives could vote/became citizens for example) and we were gatekept from generational wealth so lots of us live in poverty since most of us have been displaced (either historically or in modern times) from our traditional homes or otherwise forced from our ways of living
Don't eat the food your community/family made. Consider looking up the rations and such native tribes and global indigenous people will be forced to eat on the same day and eat that in front of your family. Powdered milk, bread, bologna, maybe an old fruit or limp salad. You'll be fine eating it for a single meal, I assure you. An act of solidarity like that will provoke strong feelings and conversation.
Alternatively consider setting up a seat and plate of food as an offering. Let it be a symbol of respect, regret, and thanks to the natives that were killed or displaced so your family had a place to live & eat instead. Give those natives some of the space that was stolen from them, at least for dinner
Develop your own relationship to the land. Learn to appreciate it's gifts (fruit, seeds, air, the way the earth supports your home, rain to sustain life, etc) and research how you can return the favor and help your ecosystem thrive again.
Become an ally in the global fight against colonization that seeks to harm, monopolize, and capitalize on the earth to the detriment of people worldwide.

Disclaimer: this post is not for newly discovered queers. You're celebrating a new discovery about yourself and that deserves to be celebrated/recognized
Now to the post-
You are more than just your gender/sexual identity. There are more discoveries to be found and celebrated.
What motivates you? What purpose calls to you? What will get you out of your bed in the morning?
Activism ends up being the default now which is amazing!!(/gen) There are so many different ways to find more of yourself through it:
Are you compelled to get up and speak? To be an example?
Do you find yourself creating in the name of your activism? What kind of art? Or maybe literature?
How many stories have you heard that you wish you could spread? How many events have you gone to and wished were recognized by the larger community?
You are more than your gender/identity and more than *just* an activist. You have to allow yourself to explore further
Save assumptions and projections for fictional characters and historical figures-
You have no way of knowing of the person in a skirt is an "egg" or simply gnc
You have no way of knowing someone is gay or just has a flamboyant personality
All the different "signs" and "tells" are stereotypes, not all negative but still stereotypes. It's harmful to stereotype people in general. Personal embrace of a stereotype doesn't change that it's still harmful to put them onto others.
You can't cause harm to a dead person or to a fictional character, hence the beginning of this post.
Yeah, I just don't get why you're saying this. The majority of people who suggest that a person may be an "egg," aka, transfem, is not simply based on feminine traits. I agree that assuming someone is gay simply because they seem 'flamboyant' isn't a good tell - but I can't get over people's weird contempt for egg jokes.
Like, trans women point out behavior as being eggy because we have experiences which are similar. We can spot the longing in ourselves in others, and to like, stigmatize the suggestion of someone being transfem is ridiculously transmisognyist. Oooo the spectre of the GNC man actually being a trans woman shall haunt ye
Sorry, but your response doesn't make sense. Trans men aren't even the subject of egg jokes because they're specifically in reference to transfems and potential transfems. Don't know if you noticed, but trans dudes aren't transfem! Ever!
You changed the subject. We weren't talking about trans men being misgendered and called women. We were talking about trans women talking about relating to the experiences of dysphoric, potential transfems!
Good job making the subject about men though! You must feel gender euphoria when you perpetuate misogyny against transfems. G-d bless you, man whose experiences matter more than us feeble trannies.
My posts are created passed on things that happen to me or that I see as being common experiences, hence why my response involves trans men. I'm using a personal experience.
You cannot tell a fully transitioned trans man from a cis man, that's why it applies
To allow a transitioned trans man to be gnc, theyd have to out themselves to everyone as trans. That is the harm it causes
It's not misogyny to ask that you don't project onto strangers, it's common courtesy
It's not projection. If I meet a cis guy, who talks about experiences or expresses emotions that were similar to what caused me to realize I'm transfem, I'm going to bring up the similarities. I might even call them an egg, perhaps in jest, but to open the idea up for them
It is much more important to me that potential transfems have an avenue to open up to transfem experiences through humor than to placate the feelings of a guy who seems to think that passing well enough to be compared to a "yet-to-realize" transfem is a big deal. It's simply not, by the way, and that you're so offended that someone might misinterpret you as a potential transfem when you pass as a cis dude to people is frankly only indicative of a disrespect for transfeminity.
This type of discussion is never given for when transmascs suggest, in jest or seriously, that someone might be transmasc. It's never treated as this awful thing. It's a double standard that you seem fine to perpetuate.
Stigmatizing egg jokes, which are avenues to open discussions about transfeminity in someone who may be questioning, is more harmful than anything you've complained about, because these conversations are the difference between many transfems existing unwillingly as lonely, sad "men," and discovering who they really are so that they can live happily as women.
It's common courtesy that you take an ounce of feminism from trans women, and commit it to fucking memory for once.
Take it from someone listening to terfs go on about "how wonderful and sacred womanhood is and how you can't understand femininity without being a woman"
The way a large portion of the current transfem community talks and interacts with the larger trans community, takes a page directly from the way terf treated trans women 10 years ago. I was arguing with terfs online and off back then, I'm not looking to argue the same things again
