#native gender

Nah cuz I been clockin the hatred of men as anti-Black anti-Indigenous and transphobic from day one. I’m HORRIFIED by the beliefs/attitudes and mistreatment of (trans, queer, third and cultural gender) men of color that I witness from radfems and TERFs, AND everyday (predominantly yt) queer ppl. Queer men of color and third gender men have been subjected to this abusive treatment for so long that we have become ashamed to be queer ashamed to be proud as men who are attracted to men. I shouldn’t have to hide the fact that I’m attracted to men. I shouldn’t have to feel shame for the fact that I’m attracted to men, have relationships with men, and love being with and identifying as a man. being a man of color is beautiful. Being a man does not make you evil, an abuser, or a bad person. Being a man does not have to be restricted to colonial gender binaries and constructs. We can build our own cultural, traditional masculinities and manhoods that are liberating, not oppressive. claiming that manhood and masculinity are inherently violent is race and gender essentialism.

I love when I educate a racist person about gender and sexuality from an indigenous lens and their immediate responses to resort to ableism. I’ve been called crazy, unhinged, delusional, unmedicated schizo, and now brain dead all because I stated basic information about gender and sexuality from an indigenous lens. Does it not show how deeply white supremacist your ideology and way of thinking is that your immediate response to a native trans person explaining their identity and history and culture to you is to insult them for being disabled?

I refuse to assimilate into colonial gender/sexual constructs and dichotomies such as binary versus not/non binary, man versus non-man, woman versus non-woman, trans misogyny affected versus trans misogyny exempt, assigned male at birth versus assigned female at birth. None of these concepts exist in my cultures or are relevant to my lived experiences as an Indigiqueer. I embrace Indigenous tradition and reject all colonial constructs, languages, and dichotomies forced on my people through violence. Stop centering whiteness as the default and acting like the world revolves around white SAE speaking Amerikanus.

passability is a colonial construct because ideas of gender are determined in relation to whiteness - it doesn’t matter if I try to be a man or a woman or neither, due to my Indigeneity I cannot pass because I will never be white

this is a pissed off, angry savage Indian reminder that you don’t owe anyone a GODDAMN anything. I just spent my labor, time, and energy, making a video (which TikTok took down, because our identities are still considered slurs despite the fact that they’ve been reclaimed since before I was born), proving without a shadow of a doubt that manhood has always been present in lesbianism, men identifying as lesbians and lesbians identifying as men. I posted these historical and cultural sources to show that manhood has always been present in lesbian identity since the dawn of time, since the inception of lesbianism. These fucking colonizer queers will posture and virtue signal and sealion, claiming that they are open to hearing other perspectives or are willing to be educated, then the second you provide evidence (which by the way is rooted in racism, because I know my oral history and don’t need colonizer’s documents to prove jack shit) they ADMIT they don’t give a fuck! They were never willing to be educated, they already had their colonizer minds made up about us. They twist our words and desecrate our cultures. So just remember you don’t owe anyone a mufucking NOTHING. not your time, energy, labor, resources, not a goddamn fucking explanation. Because these fucking colonizer queers don’t give a rat’s ass about queers of color. Chupa mis nalgas pinche haole!
