Queer Community - Blog Posts
so, today we, russian queers, may become "extremists" by decision of russian supreme court and thus our existence will be silenced and erased. any queer activism will be impossible for us. I don't know what to do anymore. I was heartbroken when they passed the laws about "gay propaganda" and transgender people, now I'm just numb. I don't want to escape. I just want to live safely in my own country.
please hear us.
June has rolled around and it's a perfect time as any to remind you to be unafraid of who you are, no one can tell you otherwise and there is always going to be someone out there willing to support your back. 🌈
(it's also good to remember that this is not a corporate occasion and never was thank you)
In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don't let them pretend we never existed.
P.S: Don't like! Reblog! <3
EDIT: Well this got a lot of attention! I got a few users asking to print or repost my art and I am unimaginably grateful to everyone's interest, especially since it's a really simple drawing I made on a whim haha! Anyone who is looking to print these out to hang or hand out or repost on another platform is free to do so, although I ask you to credit me and let people know it's from my Tumblr profile! If anyone wishes to do anything else with my art or post and wants to clarify what I consent to then they can message me privately and I'll explain! <333 all my love to my queer siblings
EDIT: I made an LGBTQIA+ version with a focus on trans and intersex folks, it's on my pinned if you prefer this version of the acronym.
wtf is wrong w y'all interacting with "poor russian queer's" post but COMPLETELY IGNORING UKRAINIAN QUEERS WHO ARE CURRENTLY DYING IN THE BATTLE ZONES AND IN THEIR OWN HOMES???
western policy about finding justification of aggressors wrong and horrible suddenly became "not so plain" when it comes to russia. I bet if someone from israel made a post like this you'd throw rocks at them. why are russians justified then?
and I'm queer myself, I'm not talking about "boohoo you shall not support queers". nuh. it's about y'all supporting russian queers but COMPLETELY forgetting about ukrainian queers (who are being killed every day by russia tho 😉😉😉)
When the anti "LGBT propaganda" law passed in Russia, all of you were going insane and cared. Give Georgia the same energy. If you can have sympathy for our oppressors on the basis of them being queer, you should keep the same energy for us, if not more.
If this law passes, every Georgian queer person I know is so severely fucked, myself included. If you make jokes about "being illegal in several countries" you better fucking care about the countries you're apparently illegal in, or going to be illegal in.
Make sure to spread this around. This is important.
Russian culture is terror
I sit in the dark like a bat. And I have to sympathize with the Russians who are doing nothing to solve their problems or issues. I have to rejoice that we are being destroyed. Kinzhals, cruise and ballistic missiles are now flying across the country. They are flying to my region.
It's June again so this is your reminder that Pride is for...
People who are out and open
Those who aren't out yet (or ever)
Folks who can't be out right now for their safety
People still figuring this whole thing out
Someone trying out a new label or identity for the first time
Folks in various stages of transition or transformation
Those who came before, who made things better for us now
The generations after us, who inspire us to keep making things better
We see you, you're valid, and Pride is for you too. <3
HELP LGBTQ REFUGEES SURVIVE 🏳️🌈
Hello,
I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out with a heavy heart and hope you can lend a hand. I’m a queer refugee from Uganda currently residing in the Gorom Refugee Camp in South Sudan. For nearly five years, I’ve been in exile due to severe threats related to my sexual orientation.
Currently, I represent over 300 LGBTQ+ individuals in desperate need of assistance. Our situation is critical, and we urgently require support to ensure our survival and safety. If you can, any donation, no matter how small, would be immensely helpful. If you're unable to contribute financially, sharing this message with others could connect us with someone who can.
Your support could truly change our lives. For more information and to contribute, please visit:
Thank you so much for considering our plight.
Warm regards,
Calvinphil and LGBTQ Refugee community🏳️🌈
My Pinterest is glitchy as fuck and won’t let me comment/reply most of the time and also I can’t see my keyboard when I’m typing and it drives me batshit crazy
So instead of informing the person I wanted to inform on Pinterest why pipeline punch monster energy is actually a valid gender, I’m gonna tell you.
Xenogenders were created for I believe autistic or general neurodivergent people.
Not everybody experiences the concept of gender in the same way, and sometimes we just can’t find the right terms to explain exactly how we feel, so we get as close as possible.
A bridge example is the singular xenogender label that I personally am considering. It’s a song gender of Savage Daughter. I think my gender fluctuates, I don’t think I’m a girl a lot of the time, but when I listen to that song I feel a deep sort of femininity that is specifically like a wild woman in folklore. I could stand to be a girl if I was a wild woman in folklore, but not in the modern interpretation of femininity. The way in which I am feminine is raw and open, and if it was anything but a xenogender based on a song it would be much more widely accepted.
And people who use xenogender labels don’t hurt anyone. The only way I can think of would be queerphobes or people new to the concept of queerness getting overwhelmed by things they can’t understand yet, but that’s why we take things one step at a time. Just because not everybody can do multiplication doesn’t mean algebra doesn’t exist.
I understand the feeling. It doesn’t make sense, it seems like a mockery. But it’s not a mockery, it’s genuinely how these people feel and it’s the best way for them to communicate themselves.
TLDR: let people use xenogenders. They are doing their best. It’s not your problem. Try to be kind, as a general life principle.
In the spirit of this holiday (it's Passover rn) I have a question for queer people of different cultures/ religions/ groups around the world.
Do your culture/ religion have specific traditions/ customs for LGBTQ people?
There's a relatively new Jewish tradition in Passover of including an orange on the Sedder plate to represent and support LGBTQ people.
It got me thinking if other cultures have things like that as well.
Do you have any specific traditions/ slangs/ symbols in your culture to represent queer people?
I couldn't find enough information online so I would love to hear from you about your diffrent cultures!
You're welcome to leave a comment here/ reblog/ leave a message in the asks box anyway is fine! Even just sending a link to an article would be appreciated.
the consensive I've seen in most places is that demi-boys can't be lesbians, while I personally don't see why not because in my opinion they're just labels and whatever people feel comfortable with is how they should label themselves, I do raise you...
Gay
G - Give me cookies
A - Angsty teen phase (i know you fuckin had one)
Y - Yaoi
Minimalism
Queer panic
Gay panic
Pan panic
Panic
Queerest names possible (in a good way), go.
Going from "Yep, I'm a girl, 100%, always will be." to "Hell yeah I'm a guy, what else would I be this is what I am, 100%" to "What the fuck is a gender? I'm just a being. If you must refer to me use it/that." to "What am I?" In a day is a weird experience and I need to know that other genderfluids experience it.
