Help by signing my petition
Make non-binary a legally recognised gender identity in the UK
Non-binary genders are not recognised in UK law. The Gender Recognition Act 2004 (GRA) enables a person to change the sex recorded on their birth certificate, either from male to female or vice versa. It makes no provision for the recognition of any other gender. 
On the parliment website, I have started a petition to get the government to recognise that non-binary is a valid gender and should be recognised as a legitimate legal choice.
Before the petition can go live and allow members of the public to sign it, it requires a minimum of five signatures from supporters.
If you’re in the UK, please click the link below to show your support.

Non binary people are not "women lite" and you're all creepy fuckers if you ignore that, thank you <3

Now that it's pride month, i have been wanting to put this out there cuz profile descriptions are too short for me to put everything i wanna put haha, but also hey, it's not been that long since i've been back to tumblr and a lot of you guys are new to me! I'm going to explain the terms i use because not everyone has knowledge of them and sometimes people think the term means something else! Feel free to reblog this with your Sexuality/gender as well if you are comfortable to do so ~ ❤
So here we go!
Hello! 💖✨ I am SasukiMimochi and you can call me Sasu!
I am Pansexual and Demisexual. *I don't love based on gender, and i also do not find myself attracted to strangers; aka i need to get to know someone before i feel attracted to them; so my sexuality is heavily dependant on getting to know someone properly and not really about the physical side of things.
I am genderqueer. *Which means i don't really identify with a certain gender and/or i'm not sure about it yet, it's really a blanket term but for me it means that. -i generally hate being referred to with female pronouns so i'm male-leaning. I go by They/Them, He/Him, or any! but i do lean more towards they/he.
I have always been out of the closet online/with friends as soon as i realized i wasn't straight, but i only came out publicly three years ago (actually the same year Eugene Lee Yang came out, in 2020, i highly recommend watching the video it is a piece of art).
And i wanna say, you're all amazing, stay safe if you can't come out, and i love you! I hope you all enjoy pride in your own way! 💖✨😊
Tumblr media
I'll do something for pride month i just haven't decided what yet 🤔 i will need to keep it to a one-time thing cuz i love doing prompts but i really pushed too much this past month.
If there's something you'd like to see me do this pride, reply, tag me, or reblog! Ideas are always welcome (but do not expect me to say yes, even if its a fantastic idea. It has to be something i feel i can do!)

A fantastic way of being inclusive to patrons, especially trans and nonbinary patrons, during interactive programming (especially if it's for long-term programming)

My sister, years ago: you’re the straightest person I’ve ever met
Me: haha, it would be really awkward if I ended up not being straight
Me, now: 😶

Haha, I've been too happy lately on here.. time to vent!
I'm AroAce, I've comfortably stated this fact, and I am proud to be AroAce, I'm perfectly fine with who I am and I don't think feeling Romantic and Sexual attraction less than others makes me less than them.
I don't care or exactly crave to feel Romance like them, I'm fine with not wanting Sex, I'm okay with all of this and accepted it with no problems at all.
But others aren't okay with it.
Other AroAce people hate the fact that they are the way they are. They hate that they can't feel love like others, that they can't feel sexual attraction like others.
They hate themselves because they're AroAce.
They hate themselves because they don't feel love the same.
They hate themselves because they can't enjoy sex the same.
They hate the way they are.
And it makes me hate myself too.
It makes me feel horrible that I accepted myself so easily.
It makes me feel like I don't deserve to be AroAce because I don't have it as hard.
It makes me feel like I should change because how could I be one of them if I'm so happy?
How could I be one of them if they hate themselves?
How can I so proudly say who I am when they cried at the thought they couldn't simply enjoy sex?
How can I be one of them if I'm so different?
I know it's unrational, it makes no sense, I know.
But how can I accept myself when my community hardly does?
How can I love myself when they can't even acknowledge it?
How can I be who I am when they are forcing themselves not to be?
I feel as if I don't belong here.
I feel as if I'm a weirdo all over again for just being me.
I feel I can't be one of them if they can hardly be it themselves.
I don't feel as if I deserve to be AroAce.
I feel I shouldn't be so proud of myself.
But I can't help it.
I like who I am, I like being AroAce, it feels right, makes me feel happy, even if it changes, I like where I am now.
But my own corner doesn't, my own safe space can't like themselves, so how can I?
I feel alone all over again and I hate it. I finally find others like me, finally feel happy because I found out who I am and don't hate myself for it, and they hate themselves, what kind of irony is that?
I came to the area to not be alone, and I ended up alone anyways.
And I can't help but hate myself for it.
I don't want to be AroAce because I feel I don't deserve to be, because how could I possibly be one of you when you're all going through so much?
But I can't help but want to be, because I like who I am, and I just..
I'm repeating myself, I'm sorry.
I'm overreacting, I know, but I can't help but feel outcasted again and I hate it.
I just want to be me without upsetting others.
I just want to be myself without feeling like I can't even smile because I don't deserve to.
Why does it have to be so hard? Why can't I just be happy the way I am? Why do I have to feel this way?
I guess I'll never know.
I'm sorry for venting, I was just being too happy with my posts lately and needed to level it out.

I've been reading about common lesbian situations and it's frustrating that I've actually lived through many of them:
1. Is this a date?
2. Lesbian sheep syndrome aka Let her speak first (the years passed)
3. Breakup w/o having dated
4. Lesbian gathering and everyone is everyone's ex or at least romantically involved
5. Got a crush on a hetero (I am so ok with it by you'll be my forever unrequited love I'll sing @ your wedding cuz I honestly love your bf too)
6. Girl u gay? I'm gay too! (Proceeds to do nothing)
7. Potential partner? Trauma dump!

Friendly reminder that the only reason you all can enjoy “pure and wholesome, with no alcohol and barely any swear” LGBT+ representation is because the disgusting freaks who made all the problematic shit some of you snear at today were there first, doing their absolute best to demand a place on a society that actively wanted them gone, giving absolutely no fuck whatsoever, and build the stairs from which everything else could come from. Know your fucking history and understand where those came from and what they meant for the future.

❤️ - What are your pronouns ?
I mainly use She/Her :). However my comprehension of the concept of gender is very fuzzy and confusing. I'm gendervoid and which pronouns you use to refer to me are kinda meaningless to me ? I mainly use She/Her because those were the ones affiliated to me at birth, and thus the ones I'm used to. But I have no problem being called He/Him or They/Them or any other pronouns :). TL; dr : any pronoun is fine :D
💛 - Who or what made you realize you were queer ?
Well I wanted to know what was the difference between pansexual and bisexual so I looked it up on Wikipedia ! And by looking it up there I also article on other sexualities, notably asexual, and since I was curious I read them ! At the asexuality one I was "ooooh this is me !" and then I forgot about it... Oops ahah, I guess it didn't seems important to me at the time ? I just classified it as a fun fact about myself and moved on ??
I rediscovered the queer community like 1 or 2 years later and remembered that wikipedia article and realization that I had. And by then I was way more familiar with the internet than I was before, so I dip deeper into the queer community and was able to question and discover myself way more through fully ! And this time it was important to me, probably because this time I could actually see and interact with the community for myself instead of just knowing it existed from a wikipedia page... (PS : this story might not be completely true as my memory is not the best and tend to mix things up a lot, also measuring the passage of time is hard)
🌾 - How queer do you think you look? Would it be obvious to someone that you were queer if they looked at you?
Not queer at all unfortunatly. I could wear the Pride Flag as a T-shirt and people would assume I'm an ally XD.
🌱 - How would your younger self act if your current self told them they were queer?
That would depend on which "younger self" you ask. My young teen self would be "oh yeah that make sense" and maybe start looking into the queer community once more. My pre-teen self would be "Oh, ok" and would not be very interested (I think...). And my child self would be a little confused at first and ask questions about until she either gets the full picture of what being queer meant or either get frustrated that she can't get it fully by now and give up on it.

If you ask me not to use the term queer to refer to you, I'll gladly follow that request; I don't know your history or relation to any given word or identity, after all. But if I refer to myself as queer, and you tell me not to use that term, that signals something to me. To me, what you're saying is, "how you relate to your own identity doesn't matter; how I feel about your identity does."
Does that make sense?

You know what
Screw it
If this post gets 5k[edit, the new goal is 10k omg] notes before the end of January, I'll come out to my parents, get my hair cut, and ask parents for the things I need to pass as a boy.
Have fun
[Goal reached]
Thank you to everyone who took their time to reblog, like, and reply. I'm going to keep this promise and come out to my parents soon. I love you all, stay safe <3

So I finally got my water heater replaced after more than half a year of it leaking and nearly destroying my floor, but that's not the story. The story is of the handyman that installed it.
Dude's name is Chris, and he's your typically midwestern schlub - friendly, apologizes too much, really likes the Cardinals, maybe a little younger than my parents. Hella nice tho, gets the heater installed quickly, and even offers to fix the floorboards it warped (after nearly tripping over the hump it made in the floor twice). Overall, a stress-free experience.
Then, as he's gathering up his tools - "So, I noticed your, uh, banner. Over your bed."*
*(The closet where my water heater is is located in my bedroom because I live in a mobile home, dude wasn't just wandering creepily into my bedroom)
He's referring to a giant pride flag that's hanging over my bed, with the words "Sounds gay, I'm in"
My anxiety spikes instantaneously, thinking oh christ I'm about to get hatecrimed or at least microaggressioned.
But then he says "Yeah, my daughter is gay, and I was wondering, like...where do you guys, ya know, meet up?"
What.
"Because she met her most recent girlfriend when she was in jail, and I keep asking why she doesn't just find a nice lesbian librarian or something and she said 'dad I know they're out there, I just don't know where'. So...like...where do you?"
So I ended up confessing to this nice man who installed my water heater that I don't know of any real gay culture in our mostly Baptist Missouri town of about 18,000 that routinely freaks out over pride displays in the library (I'm sure it exists but I'm lazy and haven't gone looking for it). My girlfriend lives in an area with a rather bustling gay community (we just did a face painting booth for their pride festival a few weeks ago), so maybe have her go out there with some friends, and also a lot of queers I know play dnd so maybe find a nice group of them and network. I then apologized that I wasn't more helpful in getting his daughter settled with a nice, wholesome dyke.
On the plus side, he was not deterred at all, and seemed to be very interested in the fact dnd was so popular amongst the el gee bee tees. I told him the names of some dms I know and told him to go to town. I do not know if the names will be given to his daughter or hoarded for himself so he can join a group and play like he did when he was a teenager and not be called satanic for it.
He's coming to fix my floor next week.
