Existing In The South

all queer history on here is just US-American or maybe sometimes some UK history as well and it makes me sad that there’s so little information about other countries’ queer history on here :(

@makingqueerhistory has some diversity, as of historical queer people, and they’re doing a great job, but there’s a lot of work ahead. 

!!! This is what I was looking for! thank you!

Of course! Glad we could help!

[ID: The Chris Fleming “was anybody going to tell me” meme. A person standing in front of a brick wall speaks, with the captions edited to read, “Okay, was anybody going to tell me that my country has queer history I would’ve adored to know before, or was I just supposed to learn it from a wholesome Tumblr post myself?”]

@queerasfact is a pretty cool blog and podcast dedicated to international queer history!

Thanks for tagging us! We’ve got a list here of all our episodes sorted by country. There’s definitely a lot we haven’t covered, but if you’re looking for a specific area, you can check it out.

If you're fifteen or older an still sleep with a stuffed animal please reblog this.

the law has already passed, as of last week. I can't emphasize enough how scary this is for the trans community here. please keep an eye out for any trans people you may know in the state, and consider avoiding utah if you're trans. this is beyond horrible for us here

i love my little cousin to death because he’s at that little kid stage where he has absolutely no speech filter so i know EXACTLY what type of shit his conservative mom has been feeding him. kid pulled our other cousin aside and went “DID YOU KNOW ICARUS LOOKS LIKE A BOY BUT HES ACTUALLY A GIRL?” (he also has yet to master volume control) and it’s so fucking funny because his mom acts all polite and friendly to my face only for her son to instantly expose who she actually is. king shit. unintentional ally

TEARS IN MY EYES HE DID IT AGAIN. he essentially yelled out “whoever speaks first is a faggot” (bc their parents were trying to get them to be quiet so he decided to make it a game.) and his dad went to reprimand him for it and the little guy went “but you say it all the-“ before his dad cut him off by going “no, i’ve never said it” i’m obsessed with this little dude consistently outing how bigoted his parents are without even realizing he’s doing it 😭

the context for the first thing is that op is a trans person named icarus but i 100% thought it was some weird conservative conspiracy about a transgender icarus From The Myths and i was trying to figure out what part of the wing thing made them a woman.

I’m sorry friends, but “just google it” is no longer viable advice. What are we even telling people to do anymore, go try to google useful info and the first three pages are just ads for products that might be the exact opposite of what the person is trying to find but The Algorithm thinks the words are related enough? And if it’s not ads it’s just sponsored websites filled with listicles, just pages and pages of “TOP FIFTEEN [thing you googled] IMAGINED AS DISNEY PRINCESSES” like… what are we even doing anymore, google? I can no longer use you as shorthand for people doing real and actual helpful research on their own.

AROMANTICISM AND ASEXUALITY ARE INHERENTLY QUEER AND DO NOT NEED TO BE PAIRED UP WITH ANOTHER LGBTQ IDENTITY TO BE RECOGNIZED AS SUCH AND YES THIS INCLUDES CISHET ASPECS

Why do so many podcast characters have tboy swag you might ask. Well, that is because the audio waves. Are transgendering. They transgender your brain. Good night.

watching reddit go into a full death spiral is like watching the specifically trans equivalent of the library of alexandria go up in flames

like yes reddit is also the only place on the internet you can get an actual answer to any question in general. but it’s also a huge centralized community database about which surgeons will fuck you over, who takes what insurance, which doctors you can trust, how to write a template therapist’s letter, insurance appeals, peer support, questions that feel too stupid to ask anywhere else, diy guidelines, “hey this is embarrassing but,” finding trans people in your area, explaining why you need PTO without getting way too personal about it, safety tips, et cetera you get the picture

Someone on trans Reddit just bought the url transgender.org and have put out a call for folks to help turn it into a replacement (and more). Here's a link on r/ftm but it's open to everyone

This pride month y’all have got to offset your doomposting with some gay fun you’ve had. And if you haven’t had any gay fun then you need to stop doomposting and work on that. I know we’re descending into fascism and there’s always kink at pride discourse and threats of violence and actual violence and hollow corporate allyship. But I only have so much room for that in my brain. I want to hear about the party you went to or the guy you met at the bar or the girl who strapped you within an inch of your life or hell the new clothes you bought. I as a gay person on the gay people website should NOT have to dread the gay month
