I decorated my room and bag with space and gayness

Does it look good?

Edit: my mom made me take the pride flag down "to make her comfortable" even though I've come out to her 🫠

Anyone else excited to see Camp Miasma? Any recs for favorite queer films?

I'm just excited for another Jane Schoenbrun film. I SAW THE TV GLOW stuck with me for days, loved the color and dreamy unease of the whole film and a slasher to follow it up is perfect.

Anyone have any other favorite queer films? Bonus points for gay horror. I'm always looking to watch a new film.

AITA for telling my bsf i couldn't be her friend if she didn't change her religious ideals.

So me and my bsf, lets call her S, have known each other for a little over 2 years and have been attached at the hip ever since. I am pan, and at the time she thought she was bi, but she grew up in a very conservative and religious household, and her mother is very homophobic. most of our friend group was queer, so it made sleepovers very awkward because her mom was always suspicious, especially of one girl, lets call her A, who has short purple hair.

A few months ago she learned that her family was moving the Oklahoma, and around the same time realized she may be Aro Ace. This was ofc fine and we told her we were glad she told us. Then things got weird and she started to get very religious, which would have been ok, except for the fact she had decided she was straight, and therefore better and "transformed". i was confused because i had always believed sexuality couldn't change, but she suddenly claimed it had for her when "the lord came to her". I thought this was weird but didn't want to say anything because i knew it would start a fight. But it started getting worse, the school year had ended and she had moved, but she started talking more and more about God and how she had been saved. I am an Atheist and always have been open about not wanting religion pushed on me, but despite me asking her not to, she kept Evangelizing to me, as well as other friends, including A, who's dad had passed a week before.

We got into fights constantly about God, mostly about queerness. One time she told me she could hear Jesus telling her they could "work on that later" while referring to her bisexuality at the time(she was evangelizing again). I was obviously pissed because i didn't see how love was the problem, and her words seemed hateful. She had in the past also called me sinful, lost, a fool, and arrogant, for asking her not to evangelize or talk about her opinions about LGBTQ, unless they changed, around me. In our most recent fight she had told me lgtb love wasn't real, and is just lust, and i asked her to prove it. She then went on about proving Gods existence and love could only be true through God, which i thought was BS, so i told her "well Gods not real so ig its not a problem". i think she just ignored that and asked why i was so mad because its not like she was stopping me from being gay, and she just thought it was wrong. i told her that you don't have to be the one making the laws, or murdering people just for being queer to be part of the problem, called her an asshole, and blocked her. now i have multiple friends telling me i was being rude and needed to apologize. so AITA?

On May 10th 1933, books and research materials documenting early transgender identities and sexology were burned in Berlin as part of the Nazi campaign to suppress “un-German” ideas

On May 6th 1933, Nazi-supporting students and members of the SA raided and looted the Institute for Sexual Science (Institut für Sexualwissenschaft) in Berlin. The institute was founded in 1919 by Jewish physician and sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld. It was one of the world's earliest centers dedicated to the study of sex, sexuality, and gender.

Magnus Hirschfeld advocated for people who did not conform to the gender and sexual norms of his time, and the institute provided transgender people with counseling, legal assistance, and medical care. The institute was also involved in some of the earliest gender-affirming surgeries in modern medical history. Transgender patients like Dora Richter received pioneering surgical treatment through physicians associated with the institute.

After the raid, the institute's library, archives, books, clinical files, and other materials were confiscated. Some were destroyed immediately, while others were taken to Berlin's Opernplatz where they were burned on May 10th alongside thousands of other books targeted by the Nazis. About 20,000 volumes were burned at the Berlin ceremony, and materials confiscated from Hirschfeld's institute were among them.

The destruction of the institute was also an attack on the transgender people who had relied on it. During the Weimar Republic, some transgender people had obtained “transvestite certificates” that allowed them to legally live and dress according to their gender. After the Nazis came to power, police stopped honoring these certificates and revoked them. In documented cases, transgender people were explicitly ordered to stop living as their affirmed gender.

Historian Laurie Marhoefer describes this as a widespread pattern of forced detransition under the Nazi state. Transgender people could also be arrested and imprisoned. Nazi officials specifically instructed police in Hamburg to monitor “transvestites” and, when necessary, send them to concentration camps. Historian Marhoefer has documented individual cases, including H. Bode, a transgender woman who was sent to Buchenwald and died there in 1943, and another transgender woman who was forced to detransition and spent time in a concentration camp.

Magnus Hirschfeld the physician was outside Germany when the institute was destroyed. He was forced into exile and never returned to Germany, dying in France in 1935. Much of his life's work was lost when the Nazis dismantled the institute and destroyed its collections.

Same spot, same dress, five years later! Happy birthday to me! 😊

5 years ago, I celebrated my birthday for the first time in a Disney park. It was the first time I cared to piece together an outfit to celebrate, as I'd come out as trans not too long before that. Now, here I am at 29, back in the same place, and nearing 6 years on HRT.

What a joy it's been to live my life the way I see fit. And returning to Disney as a guest instead of a Cast Member was...odd, yet refreshing somehow.

So, here's to my final year of my 20's. It can only get better from here! 🩵

Just want to let y'all know that the Delta Lounge in Atlanta International Airport (the busiest airport in the US) has multiple gender neutral and single person bathrooms.

Terminal A specifically.

There was no way I'd use any gender-specific bathroom in a chaotic airport within a state hostile toward trans people.

I don't know the requirements specifically (I was flying with my father who uses Delta for business trips often), but it's worth looking into if you are traveling a lot and have layovers.
