Gender Non-conforming - Tumblr Posts
My psychology textbook, talking about gender development: Do you consider yourself strongly gender-typed or not strongly gender-typed? What factors do you think have contributed to your feelings of masculinity or femininity?
Me, a nonbinary: .....how about no✌️
Be aware, friends!
Okay, I’m sure a lot of you have seen this post being passed around:
That sounds awesome, I know! But…I checked out the site, and it really rubbed me the wrong way. Lemme show you why:
I recognized some of the photos, so I decided to do a reverse image search on a few. I started with this one; as you can see, it is listed on their site for $20.99.
Here are the results of the reverse search:
Now, AliExpress and DHgate are sites where you can get really lovely-looking clothes/whatever for pretty dang cheap. Personally, I don’t use them, because I worry about why things are so cheap! Where are they coming from? What are the working conditions like, ya know? And they’ve had their fair share of selling fake or defective items. Anywho, I clicked on an AliExpress link…
Look, I know that tons of people order things for cheap, and then sell them for nearly double the price, but when your marketing sounds like this:
“provides trendy clothing for affordable prices.” …How is almost-doubling the cost “affordable”???? “We have manufacturers and warehouses in multiple contries which allow us to provide low priced products…” *You* don’t have anything, though. Those manufacturers and warehouses aren’t making these things specifically for your shop.
Here is another example:
AND THE BINDERS THAT THEY SELL ARE NOT SAFE.
(But you can find even cheaper ones…)
Binders like this, and their others, are just as damaging as ace bandages!!!!! They have 32K instagram followers; 21K facebook followers. Young kids are buying these harmful binders!
Idk, y’all. Maybe I’m making something out of nothing, but it sure feels like the trans//gender non-comforming community is being targeted and ripped off.
Be safe!
Love &light!
It really makes me laugh when transphobes are like "no one back in the day cross dressed or played with gender, it's just a trend" shut up look at this Lesbian couple from my home (when it used to be Kingdom of Hungary, Budapest) in 1920s who dressed in half traditional femme and masc wedding attire
; hello hello !! A friendly reminder to be supportive of your siblings and your friends and your strangers when they want to try new " gender non conforming " things.
; because did my little brother want to buy a dress three days ago, and did I have to push my mum to let go off the weird ideas in her head so her son could be happy ?? Just a little yeah, but she eventually let him get it. I haven't seen him smile so big in forever.
; and did just now, he come into my room very quietly asking " what do girls normally wear ? " and after more talking it turned out it was an indirect way to ask to try on my makeup, yes that did happen and I'll be helping him w that tmr. He looked overjoyed when I agreed. I'll also be repainting his nails since only the best for him !!
; does my mother still not like him asking for and / or wearing " girls clothes " ?? Yes, and I'm working on it. And have we argued about it before ?? Yes. But he still smiles so fucking big whenever I persuade her to let him get the things he wants, and I wouldn't trade that for anything.
How many more queer kids are gonna die before people give a shit? What are we supposed to do. Nex Benedict did fucking nothing wrong and they had their head bashed against the fucking floor. They just wanted to go home that day.
Kevin Stitt is a fucking murderer.
Chaya Raichik is a fucking murderer.
Ryan Walters is a fucking murderer.
Margaret Coates is a fucking murderer.
HAPPY PRIDE YOU SILLY LITTLE 2SLGBTQIA+ CUTIES!!!!
*Screaming at my enby non passing transasc ass* YES. A MILLION TIMES THANK YOU.
I've been seeing a disturbing number of "queer safe spaces" describe themselves as things like "femme & them" and even worse "she+," conflating femininity & nonbinaryhood. cease this immediately. say it with me: nonbinary people are NOT women-lite and it is extremely violent and straight up incorrect to imply that all they/thems are fem adjacent. this is erasure and this verbiage does nothing but make gnc and nonbinary spaces unsafe for masc and male nonbinary people. nonbinary, genderqueer and other third gender people can be and are masculine and men, we can be hes as well as shes and theys, stop allowing yourself and your peers to view nonbinary as woman/femme-lite, signed a butch nonbinary person.
I love pride flags with all their beautiful colors. I turned a lot of them into cute pixel hearts. I have a few more that need redesigns and different colors that I didn’t add here. Let me know if you like the pastel rainbow, as I’m thinking about doing more pride flags in pastel colors. Hope you all love them! <3 Redbubble: https://www.redbubble.com/people/NovotnyDesigns/shop?asc=u
I can’t wait for the day that a non-op, non-t feminine transman can be out in public and when someone misgenders him, he can politely correct them and instead of blowing up, they’ll just say ”oh, sorry about that sir.” and go on with their day.
The obsessing over HIM to being gender non conforming pipeline is real
HIM. My first early childhood introduction to very gender ambiguous characters.
stop being weird about other peoples’ gender and presentation and start being weird about your own
you don’t have to be uncomfortable with your body to be uncomfortable with your given pronouns.
you don’t have to present androgynously to be non-binary.
you don’t have to be non-binary because you present androgynously or non traditionally.
you don’t have to present feminine to identify with feminine pronouns.
you don’t have to present masculine to identify with masculine pronouns.
you don’t have to be anything to justify your identity to the world.
whatever makes you feel most comfortably yourself is valid as is.
Just because you're trans doesn't mean you can't be gender nonconforming. 🏳️⚧️

I keep trying to think of something clever to say about Dan's entire personality change in the Sister Daniel costume but it just keeps turning into an essay about gender non-conformity and how it really does feel Like That
