People are either completely shocked or say that everything about me makes so much more sense.
To other autistic people, have other people ever been able to realise you’re autistic without you telling them before?
So a while ago I bookmarked a bunch of posts to reblog if I ever got a tumblr. Now I finally can!
transgender people do not have to:
experience dysphoria
medically transition
exist inside the gender binary
present with their identified gender
have a certain sexuality
go by certain pronouns
uphold certain gender roles
go against certain gender roles
dress a certain way
act a certain way
look a certain way
to be transgender. here are the things transgender people need to do to be transgender:
identify as a gender that isn’t the one they were assigned at birth
and thats it.
(pls dont call me a “tucute”)
I don’t know if this is true, but I’ve read that the X-men are a deliberate metaphor for being LGBT+.
“ezra miller is going to be the first lgbt+ person to play a superhero!!”
i mean yes he’s going to be the first to get a solo movie but
Hamilton cast: Most disputes die and no one shoots
Me: okay... that sounds fake, but okay
Here, have some recommendations of Advanced Gay literature!
1. Fires of the Faithful/ Turning the Storm by Naomi Kritzer. This duet is mostly a fantasy novel; the protagonist is also lesbian. There are some religious themes, but the protagonist could probably best be described as agnostic-ish. You can find the first one on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Fires-Faithful-Naomi-Kritzer/dp/0553585177
2. Proxy by Alex London. I’m not sure if it quite qualifies as Advanced Gay literature, as homophobia still exists in that universe and negatively affects one of the two protagonists, who is gay. I’m granting it a spot on the list mostly because the main problems are not the result of homophobia. It’s on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Proxy-Alex-London/dp/014751133X
3. The Just City by Jo Walton. This book is about a group of people trying to set up Plato’s Republic. If you don’t like philosophy, you’ll probably find it boring, but if you do, especially Plato’s works, you might like it. Several characters are mentioned to be in relationships with people of the same gender. Although sexual attraction to anyone is discouraged, this isn’t applied any more harshly to the same-gender-attracted characters. I will warn you that there are a few rape scenes, so if that bothers you you should probably stay away. It’s on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Just-City-Thessaly-Jo-Walton/dp/0765332663
Those are just the first few to come to mind; if you want more recommendations message me.
