my identity is not a discourse topic

Transgender Day of Visibility is supposed to be a day of celebration but most of the IRL events have been cancelled, so we’re doing a social distancing-friendly selfie campaign!

If you’re a trans person of color include a “#BrownAndTrans” tag in your TDOV post and we’ll reblog it, or submit a selfie directly here!

Please consider including an image description of your selfie- learn how to write one and why they’re important here!

Only trans people of color (non-white & non-cis ppl) can submit selfies to our blog, but everyone can reblog them.

Follow us if you want to help boost the selfies of TPOC!

Load up Pokemon Fusion, the first pokemon that generates is now your starter.

flaredash???

yes there IS a story behind it!

when i first got rocky (in uhhh 2017 i believe i dont rlly remember how old he is jsjfksndjs anyways) we literally just. found him in a ditch near our house and he was very small and malnourished and we had to be really gentle with him. so it was really difficult to check his gender annnnnd surprise we got it wrong

BUT by the time we had the money to go take him to the vet to get fixed and found out "oh fuck hes a dude" we had well established him as a girl (named roxy lol) and my little brother was too young for us to rlly understand that we'd gotten his gender wrong. SO the only way we could figure out to explain his new name was "rocky" was by telling him "yeah, he decided he wants to be a guy now, and when you call him a girl it makes him sad" (my older sibling is nonbinary so they understand what being trans is) and to this day he and my little sister still think my cat is trans. (tbf they're still toddlers so lol) so he is!!

There is not enough difference in male or female brains to tell them apart

A gender-neutral pronouns other that they/them has since 1858, thon 

There are more than 2 genders (tons of sources in the description that if i tried to write them all here i would die of age)

“””Transtrenders””” aren’t actually transitioning and then regretting: 1  2  3 4  5 

Biological binary sex isn’t a thing: 1 2 3 4

in the wikipedia page for social construct of gender category sex and sex category the sources are 7 27 28 

He indeed is

Being trans is not a mental illness/ you don’t need dysphoria to be trans: 1  2  3  4 5 6 7 (this one is massive)  8 (also if you want a living example of a cis person with dysphoria search godflex here on tumblr, careful it’s nsfw)
