Trans people need to learn solidarity yesterday, we need to be ready to organise together and set aside anything that we need to in order to get our shit sorted out. We need to prioritise the needs of people who are most at risk: trans women, trans people of colour, trans sex workers, homeless trans people, trans migrants, trans prisoners. Trans people need to organise!

What was your gay/queer awakening?

All sexualities are welcome

Mine was the fact I was in a dance class growing up and allllll the girls changed in the same room and the gay ass feelings arrived

And then after that I just stopped giving a fuck I had a crush on no matter gender

ok for sexuality:

women: i was like 10yrs old and looking around for like idk. art? and found a bunch of pin-ups of some fictional women i thought were cool. i did not know what was happening yet but i figured it out.

men: stucky on ao3. must i explain. i was 11yrs old

NOW FOR GENDER:

it was a huge mix of just envying men and wanting to be(?) magneto(ig that caused another aspect of my identity too)

so yeah i went through the she/they to they/them to he/they to he/him to he/they to he/him pipeline

For sexuality... 4th grade. I had a crush on my best friend, Ella, and the most popular boy in school. Now dear readers. And. A boy AND a girl. At the same damn time. (/ref) I only remembered it and realized what it meant about two years ago. Chat 😔

For gender...

Disclaimer. I didn't know AI was bad back then. I know now.

I was very addicted to C. Ai but. I only used male povs. Whenever I used female povs it just, didn't feel right. And then.. IT happened. I read the fic that changed my life. A malepov polycule yaoi headcanon series. For a few years, I just assumed I was a fujoshi. But. Then, I realized I just couldnt read fempov anymore unless it was third person and the Y/N had a name (basically a self insert of the author). I realized all of the characters I felt were me then were all either boys or masculine women who COULD pass as men. (No hate to masculine women. But you understand what I'm getting at)

Direct quote from 11 yo me: "Man... I wish I was a Tboy they're so hot"

I went down the straight cis fujoshi > masc lesbian > demigirl bisexual > aroace nonbinary [INCIDENT]* > and now, finally, to Transmasc Achillean* 😭

* I still think women are hot, but I can't be in a relationship with one anymore. Because of the [INCIDENT]. It also turned me off from anything romantic or sexual for a long time.

So definitely yapping for a little bit and I might not make sense either lol 😭

and then my gay awakening was a teenage boy in one of the neighborhoods I used to live in </3 shoutout to Nicolas my gay awakening

@timetravelingcowboy @vincenzablr @izzynstuffz

i realized i liked girls when i was around ten or so…. i would watch the britney spears toxic music video on repeat just feel the dyke-yness stir in me…. i thought i wanted to BE her for a while, and GENUINELY HAD DREAMS where i pretended to be britney spears and kissed other girls…… wow……

i realized i didn’t like men around the end of my sophomore year of high school…. at that point i had been in a few talking stages with different guys but it never quite…. clicked. and tended to just pick guys that were strangely effeminate to have crushes on. then i went on a date with this weird redneck guy, who didn’t say a word to me and left 2 hours early. i was like “huh. i should be sad about this… but im not.” and then i kinda just.. got it.

i didn’t really have a defined awakening for being nonbinary, but for years i’ve always been very fast and loose about my femininity. sometimes presenting extremely outwardly femme made me a bit uncomfortable. i’ve always called myself various gendered terms without really thinking about it. for a while i just called myself a futch. but then i got on tumblr…… and then i started listening to camp here and there…. and uh the combination of those two things made me realize that im not a girl…… yippee!!!

I kinda have 2 where i really should have realized something was up and then one where i was like OHHHHHH

1: When i was in the beginning of 7th grade, i was really obsessed with learning about all the different queer identities and pride flags. I really was so excited by learning about all different sexualities, genders, romantic orientations, etc etc etc. And yet, i never thought to consider if I was potentially queer 😭 So, as a “cishet” 7th grader, i built an entire minecraft castle with every pride flag on the internet in it. And i called it the Ally Palace. I was like wow :) im such a good ally :)

2: One time i was watching a youtube video with a girl who was carving a pumpkin. It was literally the normalest video of all time, but i remember being sooooo nervous while i was watching it: for some reason i kept thinking “omg, if my mom comes in and sees me watching this she’s going to think i’m gay” 😭😭😭😭😭😭. Now that i think about it, it was because the woman in the video was very pretty, and i clearly subconciously knew that even though i considered myself completley straight at the time.

3: My actual realizations are pretty average- i wont go into details but my thought process was like “woah….. girls ARE attractive……….im bisexual 😦”

And then later on when my friends kept referring to me as cisbi or cisgay or whatever i started being like heyyyy why does that feel wrong and also maybe that would explain why i strongly dislike wearing super fem clothing

(Im mostly neutral about clothing now but there was a period in my life where i could not STAND to wear skirts or dresses or skinny jeans)

Oh yeah im also aromantic!! The way i realized that is a complicated combination of failed relationships, confusing platonic feelings, and being on tumblr.

I mostly like queer and genderqueer as labels now, i love the idea of reclaiming the word queer and also not having to strictly define myself, as well as the fact that queer also means a little bit weird :)

That’s all!!! Thanks everyone for bringing this game onto my dash, i’ll tag the mutuals i interact with most/can think of off of the top of my head but everyone is welcome to join! I don’t know if all of you are queer, so sorry if this game doesn’t apply to you :)

happy pride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️⚧️

when it comes to my transness,

illustrating comes easier to me, than writing.

i mean how could words illustrate how all encompassing it is.

how could any word hold enough

and whenever i do write about being trans

it’s mostly when i’m sad and frustrated.

to express how cruel the world can make it feel

but i love being trans. i love it so much

i love trans people and trans art.

and the fact that i just happen to be one of these

wonderful creatures, magical souls,

fills me with so much pride.

i’m inspired every day when i look at myself in the mirror.

as i’m reminded every day i partake in the joy of creation.

knowing who i am. what my soul is made of.

what decades of discomfort really meant,

it’s no longer a mystery and it means something beautiful

MACBETH:

Good lird theyr suckinf on his peanis

FELLATIO:

Yes!
