; As It's Nearly Pride Month I Js Wanted To Make A Quick Post ( I'm Going To Make A Larger One + Loads

; as it's nearly pride month I js wanted to make a quick post ( I'm going to make a larger one + loads more on pride .. Plus some other things that are celebrated / honoured in June !! ) .. The most common thing I see when ppl are asking for help regarding their identity / anything LGBTQIA+ related is stuff like

; " can I use x and x ?? " or " is it okay to be x and use x ?? " etc ..

; and while it's lovely to see ppl being considerate of terms and not wanting to use conflicting terms that could misrepresent .. It's also important for me to js say:

; you don't need permission to be you.

; it's okay !! I promise !! There is no need to force yourself into boxes of what can be and what cannot, the whole point of exploring your gender identity and expression and your orientation is being yourself, not sticking with the " norm " of cishetallo !! So please, it's so important you don't make boxes for ppl who are trying to get out of other boxes. ( We aren't actually cats .. Not physically at least )

; this is no hate to microlabels, I use them myself even, they're useful and can make ppl be seen !! Totally okay to use those. But you also shouldn't stress yourself out trying to find the perfect ones that don't " conflict " and that " make sense " to outsiders, etc !! You're meant to be discovering things about yourself, not trying to squeeze and pull yourself into what will be digestible for others. It's fine to be considerate and it's great to see, but don't pull yourself apart js because you can't find labels that are common enough, work together, feel right, aren't too " obscure ", don't have bad origins, etc !! It's okay if your identity doesn't make 100% sense to others, it's your identity, it's okay to be " confusing " to others. You aren't responsible for educating the entire human population.

; and whether confusing means using lots of microlabels and xenogenders and neopronouns and being a neogirl who identifies with transmasc and is bigenderflux depending on who your with and your sexual interest is described as demisexual and graysexual but you also have a hard time distinguishing romantic and platonic attraction. Or it could be that you identify as a demiboy and a lesbian.

; however your identity is described or not described, it's okay !! Your okay !! You don't need to apologize or pull your hair out trying to understand everything in a digestible way for others to understand. It's okay to be yourself. I promise.

; so happy early pride everyone !! Now go, be proud of yourself and who you are !!

; nooo fish !! It's okay :[[ you'll be alr, and when you're feeling better you can go have sm fun. Js take care of yourself

I'm having anxiety attack right now :(

the thing is I would much rather be hanging out/ having fun

; hey everyone !! It's officially pride month, and since I'm an absolute fucking ambitious idiot I've made a list, enjoy.

; I love you

; is this list meant to demean or invalidate anyone who isn't on it ?? No. It's showing you that in just a few minutes ( seriously, minutes. ) I've listed 100 identities. 1 0 0. The LGBTQIA+ community is vast. So so incredibly vast !! Even if your identity is not listed on here, you're still so so valid and I love you so much. You're a part of this community, you're important and you're you. Whether you use 20+ labels or prefer not to just roll with it and use none, whether you use " common " labels like bi or lesbian, or you use an array of xenogenders that js describe you so perfectly. Whatever. As long as you're comfortable and you're happy with your identity or lack thereof, then I'm so proud of you.

; or if you haven't yet figured out what labels to use or you're shuffling between loads in confusion, that's okay !! Finding yourself takes time, it could take forever, you as a person are constantly changing and so how you identify is " allowed " to change w that. It's okay. You're still valid and you're still a part of this community.

; to the people who are out and proud, whether those people were accepting or not, you're so valid and brave and I'm so proud of you !! And you're an inspiration to those around you I'm sure. And to those still closeted for whatever reason .. It's alright, everything will be okay. You don't have to tell anyone anything, you don't owe anyone anything, you're not lying to them or anything ( it's only a lie if they're entitled to know ) !! And when the time comes, whoever you tell, I wish you luck. For now simply stay safe, be yourself and don't let anyone stop you !!

; happy pride everyone, the fun has only js begun !! Get ready to taste the mother fucking rainbow !! >:]] /nsx

; I'd also like to say if you want me to add to this list then feel free to shoot me an ask or message !! /gen /nf

; me, a transmasc, wearing a flowy skirt:

; ( I'd like to clarify, since this is unfortunately common, that I am not hating !! This person is js hshsvwhsv and I strive to look as majestic as them !!? /gen

; photo description begin: an image with a grey background of a white person with a short brown beard and short brown hair smiling at the camera, they are in a sparkly gold dress and tiara. They are holding their dress up on either end and curtsying

RESPECT ALL ASPEC IDENTITIES EVEN IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THEM

Get this message onto everyone’s dash rn

; if this is the case, what other term could be used by white / non-black people who previously used wlw ?? And does this go for mlm and nblw / nblm / nblnb or is it js wlw !?? /genq

i have a question for black lesbians!

hi!! i saw a post recently that said that the term ‘wlw’ is actually AAVE and should really only be used by black lesbians. as a non-black lesbian who uses wlw, i want to know if i should stop using this term and i don’t want to just rely on some internet searches so i’m here asking you! what are your thoughts on this? thanks!

if you’re not a black lesbian please feel free to reblog this but do not reply! i’d like to only hear from black lesbians!
