Titles are hard

Not very good at naming things, as can be seen, but very fond of varying things. Early 30s, Chronically ill, Genderqueer/ NB,They/them. Absolutely useless at consistent tags.Everything is on a queue of indeterminate length.

my dear friend just looked up from the hat she's crocheting for a very large spherical rock we found in the river and said, in a slightly haunted tone that revealed this was the first time she was having this thought, "i should make something for my cousin's real human baby"

who needs a real human baby when you could have rock son with jaunty hat

Continuing my little game 'stick stone circles in unexpected places', resin, wood and stone acorn with a portal. I think a galvanized oak leaf and a couple of rustic beads would be good for a necklace.

An older woman wearing a mask came up to me at work today and pointed at my face/chin, then she pulled her mask down to show me she had chin/facial hair and said that she liked that I had it too. We talked for a little bit about it and I told her I don't like shaving it, because it's mine and it's part of me and who I am, and she got SO excited and said she felt very much the same way. I told her I even darken mine with makeup sometimes and she went "really!?" And when our conversation ended I watched her go up excitedly to the person she had come in with, I assume to talk about our conversation.

I love being trans and gender non-conforming because I love making people and especially non-trans people who don't fit the rigid binary feel better about the way their bodies are naturally. I doubt she clocked that I was a trans man, but honestly, I don't care what someone else reads me as if the way I present myself makes them feel more confident in themselves.

When we talk about breaking down gender roles this is what we mean. It's not just for queer or trans people, it's for everyone. It's so everyone can feel comfortable with the way their body naturally is, or with the way they personally present themselves. We go back and forth with who has it worse when we should be focused on setting a whole different standard completely; one where these rigid gender expression boxes are gone completely.

This woman made my day, and I hope I made hers too. If you're ever worried for a second about how you present yourself, or features you're self conscious about, think about what it would mean to see someone confidently showing off that same feature, and how everyone can better themselves when we stop being so focused on what's correct and more focused on just being comfortable with our own bodies. Learn to love yourself, love every part of yourself, and others will see that and do the same.

I made a little dust bunny plushie to add to the Halloween stash! It was meant to be a fifteen minute project as a like “well I didn’t get anything done today but I can at least do this” but I made the opening for turning too small and accidentally turned it into challenge mode so it took a lot longer lol

Another little dust bunny!

i simply don't think nonbinary people should have to see having our gender/s respected and acknowledged as a luxury. i think it's frankly sickening that that's the state of things tbh.

[genderkoolaid]

sorry i just think that the fact that popular binary jokes are stuff like "god isn't it so much better to exist as my gender, i didn't even realize how incredibly depressed i was until i transitioned, my life is so much more rich and colorful now that im out and transitioning :)" and popular nonbinary jokes are stuff like "i think i might be nonbinary but that doesn't matter because i have real adult concerns and no one would respect it anyways lol" and that's. normal and funny and cool. yeah. clenches teeth so hard they turn to dust

[genderkoolaid]

happy nonbinary people's day. treat every nonbinary person you meet with as much compassion and respect as you possibly can or ill grind YOUR teeth to dust.
