In the midst of this shit show, I’m taking it upon myself to come out (and be the most annoying queer person ever/j)

Hey y’all, let’s just get this over with

My name is Bark. I am a butch lesbian, and agender nonbinary. My pronouns are She/They, I am AFAB, and I exist.

I have had an up and down journey when it came to finding out my identity. At first, I was bisexual, then lesbian, then pan, then back to lesbian.

when it came to my gender, I was always a bit afraid to explore it. I’ve gone from being a trans man, to gender-fluid, to demi girl, to para girl, and eventually dropping the idea of figuring out what the hell was going on.

After lots of research and reflection (plus talking to fellow genderqueer people) I have finally come to the conclusion that I am Agender Nonbinary.

In my mind, the concept of gender identity and labels like “masc” and “fem” didn’t make a lot of sense to me. Why is it that doing ABC makes me masculine, therefore, I am (or want to be) a boy? Why does DEF make me feminine and girly?? What if I do ABE? What if I do DBC?? It’s makes no sense to me.

I have always felt comfortable in using She/They, but couldn’t think of a label to describe why I would use those pronouns. Not that I needed a why (and you shouldn’t feel like you need a why either) but having it provided a bit of closure for me.

That being said, I am PROUD of my identity. I am PROUD to be one of the millions of queer people out there in society. I am PROUD of WHO I AM and YOU CAN TAKE MY RIGHTS OUT OF MY COLD, DEAD, HANDS.

I’m so baffled by authors who accidentally write the most compelling queer ships of all time, and then become angry when fans acknowledge that the characters are in fact queer.

Got deadnamed by my oldest friend on my birthday. Deliberately. Through a meme.

Wrench Watch-Dogs is nonbinary and I will not be explaining-

(…that is a lie I come armed with proof.)

You ever see a woman you hate bossing people around in a black leather jacket and just think:

Maybe this changes things.

Clara Lille (BadBoy17) is a trans woman, right?

I’m only a third into the game, but like. That user name is so “Egg on the verge of cracking,” and then she just kept it post coming out.

If that’s not true I’m gonna be very bummed.

It is fucking devastating when you realize how little women, particularly queer women, mean to anyone.

My city had 20 Pride Month events last year. Six were explicitly for gay men. Five more centered gay men, and happened in gay men’s bars.

Two were for WLW. One got canceled, the other got turned into a “Ladies Night” so more straight women felt welcome.

None of the posters had women on them.

I live in one of the gayest cities in the country.

Now Accepting Friendship Applications:

I need more Queer Creatives in my life. I am seeking:

Life long companions.

Weird Art Exchanges.

Rivals.

Enemies.

Freelance coworkers.

Lovers.

Haters.

Besties.

Pen-Pals.

Critics.

Contemporaries.

I am…

twenty four years of age, nearly twenty five.

a writer of poetry, fiction, essays, philosophy, music, art analysis, and otherwise unrelated articles.

someone who identifies as a witch. I read tarot, study magic, and hold rituals.

skeptical as fuck.

a bit of a pretentious snob.

ideologically punk, and involved with my community.

a supporter of body mods.

unabashedly queer. Nonbinary and a lover of women.

passionate beyond words. Everything I do is with my whole soul. I care about everything all of the time.

contradictory. For every rule there’s an exception. It keeps you on your toes.

Requirements for application…

21+

An intelligent and engaging conversationalist.

Queer, Creative, and believe you’re worth knowing.

Leave a comment, reblog, or DM telling me why we should become acquainted.

Boy Clothes by Nxdia does what most people think white guys wearing eyeliner does for gender revolution

Me at 9 years old, riveted, watching Christine Baranski tie a towel around a young man’s waist in the shape of a diaper while singing Does Your Mother Know:

I just think she’s neat.

Me at 12 years old watching X-Men cartoons unable to break my gaze from Emma Frost’s chest:

I just think she’s cool.

Me at 15 years old, utterly obsessed with Billie Piper’s portrayal of Rose Tyler in hit Science Fiction show, Doctor Who:

No you don’t understand she’s the Actress of Our Time-.

Me at 19, pondering if perhaps there was any signs I was gay that I should have noticed sooner:

…huh.

Can’t talk I’m busy pursuing the homosexual agenda

Paul Atreides is canonically nonbinary.

Seriously.

The first time I read Dune I thought-

“Frank Herbert is doing a great job explaining gender variance in science fiction in a time when they did not have the modern vocabulary for gender expression.”

Paul is his father’s son and his mother’s daughter. He’s quite literally bred to have access to knowledge and power only accessible to men or women.

RIP Paul you would have loved ‘I am not a woman, I’m a god’ by Halsey.

Things my grandma thinks “made me” a homosexual:

#2 My best friend had a “lesbian” haircut.

She had the same haircut.

My vocalization of this thought was not appreciated.

Things my grandma thinks “made me” a homosexual:

#1 Disturbia by Rihanna was the first ringtone I ever got on my flip phone.

Intuit credit karma has an ad that stars a nonbinary character. It is three am and I am fighting tears over an ad character named Morgan. The narrator used they/them pronouns the entire time, seamlessly.

I sat up in my seat as soon as I saw them. I was shocked. I was hooked. I am somewhat upset with myself over having such an emotional reaction to a capitalist commercial meant to entice the younger generation. It worked.

Me: "I never showed signs of being nonbinary as a child"

Me as a child: *is obsessed with skorts*

[Art description: A Pokémon-themed comic featuring OP as a Pikachu. Long description follows.

1. The tips of Pikachu’s ears are shown with text that says, ‘I’m a Pikachu / My world is filled with lots of cool stuff. Sometimes it feels like anything is possible!’ Under this is a collage showing a Charizard, a Pidgeotto, a Nidoking, an Eevee, and an Ivysaur, all in the background as the Pikachu looks up in wonder. Text reads, ‘All sorts of types, all sorts of attacks, all sorts of Pokemon.’

2. Text says, ‘But...only two ways a Pikachu’s tail could look.’ Two boxes in the upper corners show the male and female Pikachu tails, respectively. The male has a rectangular end to his tale, and the female has a heart-shaped end to hers. Text continues, ‘So then, what am I?’ A large drawing of the narrator Pikachu is shown, with an arrow pointing to their tail, whose end is split somewhat like scissors and doesn’t match either the male or female drawing above.

3. Text says, ‘Too pointy to be [female], too much of a V-shape to be [male]. I thought there was something wrong with me.’ Under this are three cascading panels showing the Pikachu from below at an angle emphasizing their tail. The second panel shows mel further away, and in the final panel she have disappeared entirely. Text on the panels reads, ‘I felt / very, very, very / alone.’

4. Text says, ‘But then, something happened. I found others like me.’ The art shows the narrator reaching out to another Pikachu. Under this are three other Pikachu. One has a rounded tail, one has a tail that has been stitched up to be rectangular, and one has a tail with a slight spike at the tip.

5. Closeups are shown of each of the tails from the previous panel, with text that says, ‘Round tails, scarred tails, spiky tails.’ Under this is a drawing of the Pikachu all hugging with lightning coming from their cheeks. Text reads, ‘They told me nothing was wrong with me, and I wasn´t alone anymore.’

6. Text says, ‘There are many ways a Pikachu’s tail can look. I’ve heard there’s at least over 30 different variations.’ Under this are two panels. The first panel shows the narrator lying on their back on a background of male and female symbols. Text reads, ‘Some days are still hard.’ In the second panel, the Pikachu with the scarred tail is shown with text that says, ‘My friend tells me her tail used to look just like mine. It was taken from her.’

8. The narrator is shown sitting and looking upwards. Text reads, ‘Some trainers won’t accept Pikachu that aren’t [male] or [female]. They alter our tails without our consent. But things are getting better. We are making change. We’re fighting so that our tails will be left alone.’ Under this is a panel showing the four Pikachu running happily towards the right. Text reads, ‘We’re all on a spectrum. Every tail looks different; anything is possible.’

The final text reads, ‘This is a comic about intersex people.’ The watermark in the lower right says @ PostManic. \End descriptions
