I think we should change the pink and blue on the trans flag to be the sex and magic stripes from the original rainbow flag.

Rather than the old “pink for boys blue for girls” symbolism, we have revived the long-excluded sex and magic stripes from the original flag and placed them on their own flag meant to represent trans people, who are both sexy and magical. I consider this a win for everyone.

And the white represents oysters!

genderqueerpositivity:

I am neurodivergent. I experience everything through the lens of my neurodivergence–emotions, relationships, social interactions, touch and sight, sound, taste and smell, my ability to learn, how I process information, my values and beliefs. I exist in, interact with, and perceive my own body as neurodivergent person.

I’ve experienced gendered socialization as a neurodivergent person. I’ve experienced gender dysphoria and euphoria–social and physical–as a neurodivergent person. And I’ve experienced gender affirming hormone therapy as a neurodivergent person.

I draw parallels between my experiences as a neurodivergent person and as a trans person all the time; it just seems so natural and obvious to me to do so.

My transness and neurodivergence are connected and inseparable.

My transness is neurodivergence.

I feel like this isn’t a popular statement to make, and it’s not something that I see discussed frequently. It think that is an inevitable part of the push against transness being defined as a mental illness.

We want to talk about transness in the terms of identity rather than of medicine. We protest when anti-trans people weaponize the research that connects transness and autism (or other forms of neurodivergence) in order to suggest that our transness is disordered.

I get this. I understand it. And I am not arguing for medicalization of transness or neurodivergence here, in fact I am against that.

What I want is for it not to be weird that I name my gender dysphoria as a neurodivergence. I want more people to see and understand the connections between transphobia and ableism, especially as it impacts transmasculine people and trans men. I definitely want people to stop mocking the language that neurodivergent trans people have created to use to talk about how we experience gender.

I want everyone to understand that you can’t truly be pro-neurodiversity without being anti-transphobia. Your autistic advocacy must be pro-trans. Your trans advocacy must be anti-ableist.

I believe the connection here must be accepted. I believe that neurodiversity activism and trans rights activism can and should inform and impact each other, and only through honoring this can we get closer to liberation.

obviously Ed was obsessed with Stede from day dot but i really think he didn’t realised he liked Stede specifically until the fancy boat party

like up until that point he really thought he was just enamoured with fancy rich person-ness and then he met all those other fancy rich people and was like “hang on i hate all of these people” which means his feelings for Stede aren’t because he’s a fancy rich person it’s because he’s Stede

i think he’s realising that in the moonlight scene and i think that’s when the plan to kill Stede and take his identity goes out the window, because he’s just realised that what’s making him happy isn’t Stede’s (thievable) class identity it’s (irreplaceably) Stede himself

Your trans body is gorgeous. Not in spite of transness. Your trans body is gorgeous. Your transness is beautiful. It doesn’t have to be ignored in order to determine your desirability.

Star Trek is supposed to be a utopian, egalitarian future and there’s no gender equality without reproductive equality…. Ergo, your favorite Star Trek doctor performs abortions regularly and probably feels no particular way about it because Federation society at that point is past stigmatizing the procedure.
