This is why it is so important to have representation!!!! And with representation I mean diverse representation!!!!
Nonbinary is anyone who identifies as Nonbinary.
Afab, amab, poc, white, no matter what religion you believe in, no matter your sexual orientation, financial situation or any other circumstances.
You identify as Nonbinary? That's it you are Nonbinary! Welcome to the community!!!
sick of other trans people looking like a deer in the headlights when reminded that amabs can be nb too. there are really still people in our own community who think a nonbinary person is like. a woman wearing jeans
i've had people treat me visibly different after hearing my voice or seeing my face as if i'm some sort of predator or interloper. this attitude towards amab trans people especially nonbinary people really paints a picture of what the lgbt community thinks of gender in general
Elise: My boyfriend left.
Eryka: Oh.
Elise: It's good I think.
Eryka: I'm sorry. Why?
Elise: Because he knows I'm not in love with him.
(Pause, they make eye contact.
Elise: I've never really... eh... been in love befor.
(as she talks she stands up and goes near to Eryka)
Eryka: You should try it, it's nice.
Elise: No I hate it. It's like a virus.
Eryka: Well how can you know if you never you
(she comes near too)
Elise: Well because when he left he was very angry but I wasn't (pause) I wasn't thinking about him.
Eryka: What were you thinking about?
(she is silence, they make eye contact, Eryka comes even near now they stand just some centimeters away from each other)
Eryka: You can say it. (whispering)
Elise: Eh, you?! I was thinking about you it's not particularly physical or anything it's just
(Eryka touches her cheek and Elise stops abruptly)
Eryka: It's not physical? Are you quite sure about that?
(she sounds like she is going to cry)
Elise: (replies with a kiss)
Wow. Didn't know that Tumblr ist THAT cool.
Hey. It’s Pride Month!
Over the next 30 days, we are actively encouraging you to share your LGBTQ+ pride with all of Tumblr. You deserve to be proud of who you are 365 days a year, but these next 30 days, we’re going all out. There’s no wrong way to do it. Upload an illustration. Write a poem. Make a GIF. Take a selfie and slap a Pride sticker on it. Maybe send a sticker to a friend. These precious babies are in your app right now:
Do one thing, do 100 things—whatever feels right. Just tag it with #TumblrPride so other people can find it. And, hey, if you can’t do any of these things, know that we still support you. You have every reason to feel proud this month, even if you aren’t ready to show it. <3
We’ll also be signal boosting other influential LGBTQ+ voices all month long. We’ve secured some really amazing people for Answer Time and Issue Time:
6/23—Gavin Grimm, 17 year old activist fighting for the equality of transgender students, held on Action (@action).
6/29—Becca McCharen, queer fashion designer and founder of fashion label Chromat (@chromat).
6/30—Trans Rights & Community, focusing on urgent issues that affect trans people, like violence, access to health care, and unemployment, held on Action (@action).
Have a safe and beautiful Pride Month, Tumblr.

Kneesvember Day 28
Everyone knows it's that time of year when many people feel compelled to set goals to alter their body and restrict their food. The pressure to be thin is everywhere---it's the water we swim in. If you want to take care of your body, I hope this is the year you learn more about weight-neutral approaches to health! The Health At Every Size movement and books by fat activist Aubrey Gordon are great places to start!
