Happy Pride Month From Your Queer Knight

“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.

destroy the idea that trans people need to pick new names close to their given names, but also don’t make fun of those who do pick names with similar sounds or letters. it’s a comfort thing for some.

something has gone deeply wrong when "focusing pragmatically on issues you can influence and working to make life better for yourself and your community" is considered an unserious distraction while "endlessly exposing yourself to media about distressing situations you can't control" is considered political engagement

hello!! when someone lists their pronouns as having multiple different ones (i.e. he/they, she/they, he/she), it tends to mean that you should switch up the pronouns you use when referring to them, NOT just pick one. 

example: “I gave Theo their gift. He said to tell you thanks." 

you can also do this by varying the pronouns in separate sentences/phrases, if it feels forced trying to use them both at once.  

"Theo loved the gift you gave him!" 

later: "I’ll ask Theo if they want to join us on Zoom tonight for Christmas movies.”

congrats, elliot page, i’m so honored to be sharing in this journey with you 💘

any adhd kids out there that loved long (3+ hour) car rides because it gave you an acceptable excuse to stare blankly out at an ever-changing background and listen to music on loop / daydream extensively please raise your hands. i wanna check something

I JUST SAW SOMEONE CALL THE GAY FLAG THE SEA AND THE LESBIAN FLAG THE SUNSET AND IM GONNA CRY THAT IS SO BEAUTIFUL I LOVE THAT SM

We need to stop letting people who dont like body hair speak. About anything.

You know what? Fuck you.*goes by joyfriend cause it makes me happy and if you really don't like it cause you think its 'infantilizing' then just don't fucking use it, jesus christ*

trans women can use pronouns other than she/her. and frankly they’re sexy for doing it

less “if you see a man and woman together at pride be nice! they could be bi/pan/trans/ace/aro” and more “stop gendering strangers to harass them anywhere, but especially at pride holy shit”
