16 carriages
he heard her booming, “while i watch them ride with my fears away,” filling the air rushing from my open windows, a cry to, for, and from those rendered voiceless.
to the standoff outside the bus stop
I remember the anger boiling in my stomach I never truly understood the meaning of an emotion physically in motion until that moment
Oneg In The ArcticPublished 2 months ago in PrideWe Need To Talk About Cis Privilege
Privilege is defined as the right by a particular race, gender, or social class to access societal advantages inaccessible to others. Privilege comes in many ways: because you are white, or male, or thin, or stereotypically attractive, or able-bodied. Cisgender is an adjective which describes those who identify with their assigned sex at birth. When we're born, we are given a label of female or male based on the way we look. Those who feel a disconnect between assigned gender and true identity are transgender. Those who do not feel a disconnect are cisgender.
choreomaniaPublished 3 months ago in PrideThe Journey to Self-Love
“If you can’t love yourself, how the hell are you going to love someone else?” The famous quote from the Queen themself: RuPaul. The purpose of the quote is simple: self-love needs to be the foundation for any relationship. However, the road to discovering self-love may take years for many, myself included.
Iris HarrisPublished 3 months ago in PrideI am no different to them
With the brutal and violent deaths of two 16-year-old's Nex Benedict (they/them) and Brianna Ghey (she/her), one year apart, and nothing but an ocean dividing them. Nex Benedict was attacked in a bathroom of their school, they weren't attacked because of an argument they were attacked and sustained injuries that killed them over their choice to be themselves. Brianna Ghey, another 16 year old, was stabbed over 20 times to death, again, not because of an argument, not over gang affiliations or anything like that, she was killed over her decision to be who she was.
Quaker-nomicsPublished 3 months ago in PrideThe two interior designers
I was around six years old when I realized I was queer. I haven’t entirely grasped the concept yet, but I knew I was different in some way. That terrified me. I can remember, clear as day, my lamentations about whether I can hide it or fix it somehow. The guilt was suffocating, my little heart racing with anxiety and paranoia because I was mortified over the prospect of anyone finding out. I was stuck and isolated with no one to confide in. I’m sure you’ve heard this exact story a million times before and I’m not here just to garner sympathy with it. What I want to talk about is a turning point in my process of growing up and it all started with two interior designers we hired to refurnish our apartment.

The Rainbow Renegade
A maven, Joan of Ark, supporting her cause and distancing oneself from whims that do not fit the persona, stereotype of her group. Oneself cannot risk being caught adhering to societal norms they have shunned. As beings on two legs we are incapable of treating others how we feel about them. We only have the ability to treat them how we feel about ourselves. What exists in one side of the field versus what is in the other field just barely visible on the horizon can only be fathomed from the eyes of someone else. Introducing the idea of re-entering into a norm that has been left behind will immediately be shot down. As the realization sets in that the field they are in is eerily similar to the field that they left. Slowly but surely the yard just over the mountain begins to look much more appealing. If the treatment, disappointment, and risk of embarrassment are the same, what keeps someone standing in place when walking away is the better option? The answer sits in the maintenance of a perception and the reassurance the Renegade brings to the group. Becoming a leader of any Taboo ideal takes the leader from self-interest to furthering the causes of the group. It begins with strong advocacy and support for a form or freedom, or expression, an audacity to support the under-dog.
