Why The Hell Does Expired, Unexposed Kodachrome Of All Things Command A Premium

was skimming through a book on queer history and read about how in the UK, the reason they refused to pass an anti-lesbian law in the 1800s was explicitly to prevent women from realizing lesbianism existed. that was the reason they gave. that passing the law would acknowledge lesbianism as an option and they couldn't possibly risk that.

and i just think that's like. such a perfect example of lesbian + transmasc erasure. our """safety""" is having politicians shape laws around preventing people from ever knowing we exist so that no good little daughters / future wives get any Ideas. and on top of that if we do manage to scrape out an existence for ourselves despite this, we are constantly in danger of outed and murdered by a jealous husband/father/brother or just someone who hates queers and/or women or thrown in an insane asylum to be abused until we die in silence. okayyyyyy 👍

having depression makes your friends seem like the coolest most put together people on earth like wow... you got out of bed, had breakfast, went to work, AND spent some time on a hobby when you got home....? that's so impressive you're like superman or something. can i borrow your power.

More queer people need to know that discrimination against intersex people isn't just bigots being bigots. It's rooted in the fact we live in a world that rejects our existence at a fundamental level.

There's only M or F on every job application.

There's only a M or F on every government form.

There's only M or F on everyone's birth certificate.

There's only M or F in everyone's mind.

Even in queer spaces, people ask if you are AMAB or AFAB. Terms borrowed from our community, then simply reduced back to M or F.

When you go to a doctor, they ask if you are M or F, regardless of how your body actually works. Any anatomy or traits you have that does not fit your M or F designation is met with pity or disgust.

You're seen as M* or F*, an aberration of what is "normal", a faulty M or faulty F, a body with a problem.

The intersex experience is being constantly reminded people believe I don't exist.

babygirl I'm avoiding things that I don't even know about

remember those who could not make it to today. honor their memory. live for them.

this year, more than ever. remember those who have perished. live for them. live for yourself. existence is resistance
