I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MY WHOLE LIFE

….don’t hate me for reblogging this…

There is no lie here.  

And if anyone hates you for reblogging this, it just means it’s right.

I AM SCREAMING THANK YOU.

This is not feminism. If you think that hating whites, cis, and men is an accurate description of feminism then you can unfollow me right away. If you call yourself a feminist while shitting on any of the above you can also unfollow me.

Feminism is equal rights for everyone. This covers men, cis genders, and white people.

MEN ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. MISOGYNISTS/RAPISTS ARE.

WHITE PEOPLE ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. RACISTS ARE.

CISGENDERS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. TRANSPHOBICS ARE.

STRAIGHT PEOPLE ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. LGBTQ+ HATERS ARE.

And keep in mind that you can be a woman and be misogynistic. You can be a POC and be racist. You can be not cis and be transphobic. And can be LGBTQ+ and be homophobic/biphobic/ace-phobic/etc.

Welcome aboard! If you’re watching this video, then let me be the first to say- congratulations! You’ve recently discovered you’re transgender and this is your first official day of training. You’ve finally accepted that you’re trans, but it didn’t happen like this overnight, because society kept telling you that you’re just a butch lesbian. The story of you coming out is the story of one mans late night Ty Turner YouTube binges, perseverance, and in the face of adversity- determination. 

If you say you’re trans, that’s all you have to do!

In blue, “you don’t have to go through surgery to be trans.”

In pink, “you don’t have to do hormone therapy to be trans.”

In blue, “You don’t have to wear makeup to be trans.”

In pink, “You don’t have to change your hair to be trans.”

In blue, “You don’t have to wear a binder to be trans.”

In pink, “you don’t have to clear out your wardrobe to be trans.”

In blue, “you don’t have to date a person of a specific gender to be trans.”

In pink, “you don’t have to alter your voice to be trans.”]

happy nb day to nonbinary people who are rarely celebrated and represented

happy nb day, hope you feel loved & comfortable with yourself today!

Gender is like trying to put your phone in your back pocket but forgetting that you’re wearing the wrong bottoms and then remembering that what you’re wearing has no back pocket and cursing the circumstances that led to this inconvenience.
