Winter ice floes down streams in Iceland
reblog this post to fill the person you reblogged from with hope and let them see the better side of things
A good video that accurately explains why stud is a term used for black lesbians only, not white, not poc, BLACK
I’m not even going to say please. Respect black identities and labels, they are ours for a reason.
I have to add that gender euphoria for cis people doesn't always come from like, conforming to your gender in a "stereotypical" way
I've always been very comfortable with my gender but I didn't Really Like being a woman until I cut my hair short and started dressing/presenting more "masculine."
When i realized that I could look "manly" as a woman I truly felt comfortable and really...more "like" a woman. I enjoy being masculine and it strengthens my connection to womanhood and it's just kinda cool
Stormé Delariverie, the first woman pictured is a mixed Black butch lesbian who was dressed in drag that night because she had just finished performing as a Drag King at the The Apollo and Radio City Hall. She's literally referred to as the "Rosa parks of the gay community." Not trans but certainly a gnc black lesbian.
Sylvia Rivera, who has admitted to throwing the 2nd Molotov was a Puerto Rican/venezuelan trans woman, she's pictured last holding the banner with the bob cut.
Rivera is standing beside the beautiful and always smiling Marsha P. Johnson. She was another Black trans woman who pioneered the movement. She was at so many protests and queer events that I couldn't pick a photo!!!
On August 5, 1961, four party-going sailors entered Black Nite, a popular St. Paul Avenue gay bar in Milwaukee, on a dare. They started a fight with the bouncer, only to be chased out of the bar by gender-nonconforming Black “queen” Josie Carter, who knocked one of the men unconscious with a bottle. It's the first recorded LGBT uprising.
One day in 1966, an officer placed his hand on a trans woman at Compton’s—she responded by throwing her cup of coffee in his face. A riot erupted as dozens of trans people, drag queens and gay men fought the police. They broke windows, destroyed a police car, and set a newsstand on fire. Drag queens hit police with heavy purses. In the end, however, police arrested the women.
The 'Flower Power' Protest. The Patch was an LGBTQ bar in Wilmington owned and managed by Lee Glaze. Glaze had a secret signal—he’d play “God Save the Queen” on the jukebox—to announce that police officers were entering the bar, allowing patrons time to comply with the discriminatory laws. On August 17, 1968, undercover cops left the bar and returned with several uniformed officers for backup, though it’s unclear what prompted this action. They fanned out and began to screen the crowd, looking for IDs that didn’t “match” the holder’s outward appearance.
He marched everyone to buy flowers and then they waited at the police station for the two to get out.
There are cis white people in these photos because the trans people were in jail. This is them standing in SOLIDARITY for their GNC community.
Pls do not reblog anything with the old disability pride flag, it does cause seizure and migraines, please use the new one which was created by the same person with the feedbacks of many other disabled people.
This is the safe one:
Dont use the zigzag one, your making disabled space inaccessible for a part of the community.

patch notes 1.0.1: visual contrast no longer causes strobe effect when scrolling. Zigzag design was difficult to visually process and anxiety inducing, and was removed. Colors have been lightened and desaturated. For the safety of all users, please make sure you are up to date.
