Unapologetic Zine with TransPunk Manifesto (back cover)

Whereas:

* Identity can never depend on anything that can be purchased, and

* Individual existence precedes typology, and

* Male and female, masculine and feminine, straight, queer, and even transgender are all received conventions and must be examined very closely on an individual basis before being applied, and even then aren't necessarily applicable, and

* dominant culture has historically used criteria such as "beauty" and "realness" and genital configuration to divide us and turn us against ourselves and each other, and

* Medicalized definitions of gender have defined our bodies as malformed objects in need of correction or replacement.

Therefore, it is resolved that:

* We will free disregard and destroy language and typology when they fail to reflect our realities, and

* We will reject any pathologization that alienates us, and

* We will always stand by our tranny siblings, even those who are different from us, and

* We will respond to your expulsion from non-trans communities with the creation of new trans-communities, and

* We will modify and define our bodies and lives however we see fit.

Brown: "... are you presenting to the world with authenticity, or are you beholden to these social scripts that have been written for you based on your gender and sexuality, and is it being dictated to you by your fear of failing to meet those social scripts."

Woah, Sherronda Brown (queer+ace writer) has a forthcoming book:

Landed an technical interview for a Code Academy program. This is my first time interviewing explicitly as a trans person, any suggestions?

If I start back up again, it will be exclusively a sewqueer blog.

Welp, my blog ran out of funds early. Time to shut it down.

Oh, heck, let's do yet another poll...

Hobbit core or hobbit wave?

Even if Chloe is the most supernaturally open-minded (apparently) straight person on television, internalized biphobia needs to be unpacked.

Mood: When you really want to chat about a topic someone in your support Discord just brought up, but then...

Internalized biphobia among straight people that is. I suppose you could read some of that into how Eve ends up treating Maze this season.
