Thank You For These

Me:

dearest trans women, trans girls and tranfems who are lesbian or sapphic...

your romantic, sexual, aesthetic and/or otherwise attraction to other women is beautiful and good and perfect and wonderful.

your attraction to women is worthy of respect and honor and celebration.

you're not gross or perverse or disgusting or predatory for being attracted to women. youre a lesbian / youre sapphic, so being attracted to women is completely natural!

lesbian and sapphic love and attraction is not inaccessible to you. it's literally yours by nature ! Sappho blessed you with the glorious gift of lesbian / sapphic attraction and you deserve to relish in it freely.

please, my darlings, don't be ashamed of being attracted to and desiring women. don't guilt yourself for seeing a woman and wanting to hold her, kiss her, have sex with her, share a life with her or be with her.

your level of medical and/or social transition, if you want those, are not barriers to you freely feeling or expressing your lesbian or sapphic attraction. you are worthy of respect for your attraction right now. and you are worthy of love right now too.

your attraction to her is natural. its good. its perfect. no matter how cruel this stupid world can be.

you are welcome here. and i love you.

reblog if your blog is a werewolf safe zone

to any disabled person starting school soon, remember to take it easy on yourself. the education system was designed for, and by, abled people and is incredibly inaccessible, especially for physically disabled students.

advocate for yourself and each other. put spikes and stickers on your mobility aid. tell people to fuck off when they touch you without asking. demand your teachers and school accommodate you. find people like you and stick close to them. remember to put your safety and health above all else.

i know the school year is just starting, but it's important to remember to take care of yourself. drink water, eat plenty of food, wear a mask (if you don't homeschool), and don't compare yourself to your abled peers. what you can do is enough.

what you can do is enough.

let's survive this semester.

The 2024 Gender Census is now open!

[ Link to survey ]

The 11th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th June 2024.

It’s short and easy, about 5 minutes probably.

After the survey is closed I’ll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like we’re part of a huge and diverse community.

If you think you might have friends and followers who’d be interested, please do reblog this blog post, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks. Every share is extremely helpful - it’s what helped us get 40,000 responses last year.

Survey URL: https://survey.gendercensus.com

The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.

For the curious, you can also spy on some graphs and demographic data for the incoming responses here.

Thank you so much!
