Thank you @Paperdaisy for being a lovely person and ally 🌈
Hi @eth
I’ll post a picture how I imagine the ‘spectrum’. I have a couple of ‘labels’ that I loosely identify with, but I don’t like the idea of labels whether it’s for gender, sexuality, mental health… when I started seeing that I won’t and don’t want to fit in a box I started feeling more free even if I feel lonely because I don’t ‘belong’ to a group.
Thank you @Former-Member for creating this space, it's good to see everyone here 😊
I also thought I might tag some people from the LBGTIQA+ Social Space who may not have seen this thread yet 🌈 @Corny @Smittenkitten @NatureLover @Adge @Schitzo @outlander @Clawde
@petrichor I'm so happy for you that you're able to be on testosterone and are feeling the positive benefits of that 💗 And I agree the religious discrimination bill debate was awful to have to go through. In the end I actually became quite emotional seeing the conviction and vocal support of various politicians/allies in the process. I couldn't have imagined seeing that kind of support across political parties for trans people 20, 10, or even 5 years ago to be honest. I think society is slowly but surely moving in a better direction
@eth that's amazing that you've published written works debunking stigma about the community! I'm grateful 💗
As for me, to answer the initial question, I experience comfort in my non-binary identity typically when I'm around other trans people, or anyone who can comfortably use my pronouns and see me for who I truly am. I experience comfort, safety, and joy in my queerness when I'm in LGBTIAQ+ community events or spaces, surrounded by others like me. I experience euphoria when I'm wearing clothes that I feel the most "me" in, where I feel really confident and happy with how I look- usually involving androgyny and expressing my own personality, too.
Happy Friday to all those following/dancing along with our Mardi Gras celebration!
As we shimmy into the second week of our amazingly spangly and ever so sparkly celebration we thought we'd celebrate your favourite moments in LGBTQIA+ pop culture 💃🏻
Think iconic moments such as George and his guitar (and Aviators, hair, boots, leather argh!) ...
Think Jules in Euphoria...
Think Villanelle and Eve in Killing Eve...
This week we're all about the diversity and queerness on our screens, in our ears, on our pages and across the media landscape!
We'd love to hear your fave moments in LGBTQIA+ pop culture – it might a favourite tv show you're binging right now, a song that brings out your inner diva, or a moment in media that changed your thinking, moved you or made you proud to be LGBTQIA+ or an ally 🌈
Drop your iconic moments below!
And if you're looking to catch up on some LGBTQIA+ viewing during Mardi Gras, Rolling Stone have a great list of programs right over here
