I'm so sick of queer spaces being so heavily anti religion to a comical degree. We always preach intersectionality or to look at nuance but then when religion is brought up it's all black and white "hur dur religion bad, you're bad because religion all religious people are going out in the streets murdering trans people and eating gay babies" like do none of us see the irony here? I'm trans, bi and religious and I've gotten hate for it but since I'm a pagan I get less hate than I've seen trans Christians or Muslims get. Not everyone who is religious is bigoted, not every religious person is the strawman in your head. Religion is not inherently bigoted, most of the time the stuff actual bigoted religious people use as justification for bigotry is mistranslations or blatantly wrong interpretations of religious texts. I'm not trying to convert anyone to any religion I'm just begging other queer folk to stop being hypocrites and to stop harassing other queer people for being religious

I’m curious to hear experiences from queer/trans Muslim reverts! I’ve been wanting to get a better understanding of other religious experiences for queer/trans people specifically because I feel that right now, they are important stories to share culturally and spiritually in a time of unrest. 🕊️

Random Fact #6,493

"The god of Christians, Jews, and Muslims made only two genders" is not a sound claim even if we were to assume for the sake of argument that God exists and created genders.

Israelite society had several genders, not just two.

Ay’lonit [איילונית]

A person who is identified as “woman” at birth but develops “man” characteristics at puberty and is infertile. 

There are 80 references to this gender in the Mishna and Talmud and 40 in the classical midrash and Jewish law codes.

Androgynos [אנדרוגינוס] (Ancient Israel, from at least 1st century CE to 16th century CE)

A person who has both “male” and “female” sexual characteristics. 

There are 149 references to the gender in the Mishna and Talmud and a whopping 350 mentions in classical midrash and Jewish law codes.

Saris [סריס:] (Ancient Israel)

A person who is identified as a “man” at birth but develops “woman” characteristics at puberty and/or is lacking a penis. 

A saris can be “naturally” a saris (saris hamah), or become one through human intervention (saris adam). 

There are 156 references to this gender in mishna and the Talmud and 379 in classical midrash and Jewish law codes.

Tumtum [טומטום] (Ancient Israel)

A person whose sexual characteristics are indeterminate or obscured.

According to Maimonides’ Mishneh Torah, Mada, Avoda Zara, 12, 4 Tumtum is not a separate gender exactly, but rather a state of doubt about what gender a person is (kind of like a Schrödinger’s gender?).

"religious trauma isnt that bad" i literally have problems listeting to "arabian nights" bc ever since someone pointed out that the lyric "suns from the west" was about the islamic day of judgement it has brought me anxiety

trans Muslims: you are so, so, so important, you are deserving of love, respect, dignity, kindness and I hope you have a wonderful day.

trans Jews: you are so, so, so important, you are deserving of love, respect, dignity, kindness and I hope you have an amazing day.

I wish every trans Jew and every trans Muslim gender euphoria today as well as their favourite snacks. 💚

We can't replace real Muslim girls or women, but weak little white bois do make good muslimah sissy. And once you convert there is no going back.

Latest Palestinian violence in the West, this time, at a Houston Texas mega-church.

"FREE PALESTINE!" Latest pro-Palestinian violence in the West, this time, at a Houston Texas mega-church. The perp? A trans male, born Genesse Ivonne Moreno (said to be tween 30-35 yrs old), but more recently, known as Jeffrey Escalanta. He/She wore a trench coat and a backpack. He/She is another in a long line of violent illegal aliens. She/He had a lengthy criminal record including in August 2009 (for which she was sentenced to 180 days in Harris County Jail), a May 2010 charge for forgery, for which she was sentenced to two days in Harris County Jail for trying to use a counterfeit $100 bill; a Nov. 2010 charge for theft, for which she was sentenced to 30 days in Harris County Jail for stealing hats and makeup; a Dec. 2010 charge for evading arrest, for which she was sentenced to 75 days in Harris County Jail; was put under an emergency detention order in 2016 by Houston police, and a June 2022 charge for unlawful carrying of a weapon, which is still an active case. She had also been diagnosed with schizophrenia. She/He had been committed to mental institutions, involuntarily, at least four times. He/She had "Free Palestine" emblazoned on her high-caliber firearm. In the first 24 hours of the investigation into motive, authorities have already recovered "anti-Semitic writings." He/She brought her toddler to the shootout. Both were killed. She entered and started shooting without saying anything except that she claimed to also have a bomb.

Yooooooooooooo!!!

Ramy is a Muslim hosting Saturday night live during Ramadan! Not only did he talk about being an active Muslim and doing the prayers and stuff like that he also came out and said that he would love the idea of a trans president and even used appropriate pronouns during the entire thing. It makes me so happy that there was a Muslim host of Saturday Night Live during Ramadan. That was really cool as a LGBTQ+ people in a time when a lot of Christians aren’t. It made me so so happy. Like, not only talking about his religious practice, and not doing the standard thing of keeping it generic and relatable for the Christians, but also making a point of speaking out for gay rights as a Muslim, which is a really huge thing now. So great. 

Every religion has unreasonable rules, and every religion promotes terrorism against people they consider other.

So why do we only call out Islam for not being a peaceful religion?

Why a random Muslim guy or brown guy is responsible for the despicable things ISIS or AL QAEDA does?

Why a Muslim is responsible for someone they don't even know but white people aren't responsible for their forefathers or the mass shooting?

This hypocrisy affects all people who are minorities in their own country. One trans person doing bad things means every trans person will lose their social, economical, and political power. What kind of justice is that?

JUDGE PEOPLE BASED ON THEIR ACTIONS, NOT THEIR IDENTITY.
