get me through grey gardens tonight

and the president and his administration are trapped on a plane with reporters for FOURTEEN HOURS

Ok but what were the stories

the reason pwr bttm’s career tanked so quickly is bc they were part of an extremely tight-knit scene whose entire objective is making their spaces safe, inclusive, and progressive. pwr bttm preached all of these values while simultaneously engaging in abusive behavior and undermining everything they were supposed to stand for. like yeah, i’m sure some hateful people jumped on an opportunity to watch a lgbt band fail but the context of pwr bttm’s fan base and community of peers is ESSENTIAL to how this has all played out

Reminder that “nonbinary women” includes transfeminine folks & trans women who identify that way too and if you’re making the assumption that “nonbinary women” can only be non-transfeminine/trans women you’re alienating a huge group of people from their identity. I see people always assuming that nonbinary women were assigned she/her pronouns or that they can bind and take T (not even that they do but that they can) and while that describes some nonbinary women/their experiences it’s doesn’t describe many others. Stop alienating and ignoring the experience of nonbinary trans women and transfeminine people.

The amount of support that this post has gotten is, quite honestly, incredible. LGBT Muslims are constantly forgotten and ignored because people from both the LGBT community and the Muslim community view our existence as a contradiction or an impossibility. It’s time that people acknowledge us and our experiences with islamophobia and homophobia/transphobia because like I said: we’re not going anywhere.
