There Is No “trans Debate.” You Either Believe In The Rights Of All People To Personal Freedom, Bodily

you truly do not exist for other ppl’s consumption and your existence is not hinged on making others happy and comfortable by stifling and hiding and crushing and editing parts of yourself to be less than who you really are

Gene, 3

Gene said he wanted to “dress fancy” and threw this together: deadstock squirrel-print shirt from eBay, shorts are part of a 2-piece suit from Janes Exchange, scarf, beret, and plastic parrot pin are borrowed from his mama, snakeskin cowboy boots belonged to his papa when he was a kid, faux fur tail is a repurposed Uniqlo men’s parka hood lining. Ting, the stuffed squirrel is by Hansa Creations, makeup is “cherry me” Baby Lips by Mabeline, bracelet (wooden beads and fluorescent vinyl cord) made by Gene when he was 2. Before he left the house Gene asked his parents, “do you think Mozart would like my outfit?”

Just a reminder because apparently people don’t realize this, but the rainbow gay pride flag isn’t like…a gay male pride flag? it was literally meant as a pride flag for everyone in the community. not that there’s anything wrong with specific identities having their own flag, but i keep seeing ppl post flag sets as if the rainbow ride flag only represents gay men and saying that not including every single other flag known in existence means you’re excluding people when no it’s not the rainbow flag is for everyone

Yes

GOD I just want to be CREATIVE but all my energy is being used to survive

Reminder that Stonewall wasn’t about marriage equality. Stonewall was about police brutality. It was about systemic abuse and subordination. Stonewall was spearheaded by black trans women. As we celebrate Pride 2020, within the context of the Black Lives Matter riots, it’s imperative that we remember that.

Riots in protest of police brutality are the reason that we have more rights today. Do not forget your roots.

You can’t celebrate Pride while simultaneously condemning the Black Lives Matter riots and protests that are happening right now. Know your history.
