4 ‘Body Positive’ Phrases That Exclude Trans People (And What To Say Instead)

If this is a movement that self-describes as being inclusive, it needs to work a lot harder to decenter the experiences of cisgender people and, instead, amplify the voices of transgender people.

It starts with what we say – and it’s my hope that it ends with everyone, not just cis people, feeling affirmed.

5 Messages I Really Needed (But Never Got) as a Queer Teenager

What messages do you need to hear?

As with most queer people, being a teenager really wasn’t easy for me.

Before I truly “found” myself and came to terms with my sexuality, I felt so alone. I had to navigate heterosexism in my high school, the media and in my religious community. I was regularly devalued on the basis of my orientation.

9 Ways Intersex Youth Want You to Support Them

Intersex conditions are typically non-life threatening, natural variations of internal and/or external sex anatomy. And they’re not uncommon. But as a society, we’re hooked on the idea of sex as a binary thing – and that hurts intersex people, especially youth! Learn here about how intersex youth wa

I’m Proof Bathroom Bills Are Not Just a Transgender Issue

Whatever you might have heard to the contrary, the “bathroom bills” that have passed in North Carolina and Mississippi and are now pending in other states have nothing to do with public safety. The simple fact is that under existing laws, it is already a crime to dress up as a man or woman in order to falsely gain entry to any public restroom to harass or harm anyone. That is a crime in states with transgender legal protections and a crime in states without such laws. Fox News anchor Chris Wallace noted that such crimes have not taken place in communities that have transgender rights laws.

What these “bathroom bills” are actually about is enforcing traditional gender codes and norms in an increasingly diverse and shifting America. Single-sex restrooms just like single-sex dormitories have always been rooted in compulsory heteronormativity and the sense that we have to protect women from men who can’t expect to be reigned in.

On Being Non-Binary in Female Spaces

“When I say ‘women,’ I just mean ‘not men,’” I have heard people protest when these issues are brought up — and I get that. It’s easier. It’s simple: “women” equals “not men.” But for many of us, neither are applicable terms. And when groups refuse to acknowledge or engage in conversations about marginalization, the setting can start to feel like a bar where non-binary people are allowed to come inside so long as we don’t drink, dance, or socialize in. We aren’t to question the environment — in fact, it’s as if we’re supposed to feel grateful we were even allowed in the door.

Asian and Pacific Islander LGBTQ+ Resources

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! Before we get on with the post, it’s important to note that these are two groups of diverse people who are very unique in many ways! However, in light of the month, (and mainly due to the fact that a lot of the resources available online are for both groups), here is a compilation of resources for Asian and Pacific Islander LGBTQ+ people! Other masterposts can be found here (and don’t hesitate to add anything if you have resources to contribute)!
