Plain and simple. Read another book, watch a different movie, watch a different show. STOP. FUNDING. JK ROWLING. 👏 She is ACTIVELY using her funds from the series to FUND ANTI-TRANS laws in the UK.

🤔 But what is pansexual or panromantic?

🩷Pansexuals are people who's sexual attraction to someone doesn't rely on gender. The potential to be attracted to someone is there, but it relies on the personality of the individual. This definition can be fluid and change based on the pansexual though and it doesn't mean they can't have preference for specific genders.

💛Panromantics are people who's emotional attraction to someone doesn't rely on gender. And just like above, this can be fluid!

💙You're welcome here, you're loved here, you're valid, and we're proud of you!

Happy to all our agender siblings out there! 💚🖤

So, what is agender mean? Agender means a person who lacks gender or doesn't see themselves with a gender. Agender typically falls under the nonbinary umbrella, but that doesn't mean agender people always consider themselves nonbinary.

Friendly reminder there is no right way to be agender; agender people can use any pronouns they want, dress however they want, and can use or avoid whatever terms for themselves that they want. That also means that those terms, clothes, and labels might be fluid.

Agender people are valid, loved, and seen!

Happy mother's day to ALL the mothers! Trans, butch, femme, intersex, nonbinary, le***an mothers, single mothers, and MORE.

You're doing amazing. We thank you for doing such a hard job that never stops. You're worth more than just one day of love and recognition. We hope you experience it year long.

To those who don't have kids yet, we hope the choice to join motherhood can stay your own. Whether that's through contraception, abortion, access to IVF, surrogates, or adoption. The choice should remain yours. No one can take away your right to motherhood, nor can they take away your right to deny motherhood.

Need new submissions! Not inspired by the theme this month? Then don't worry about matching it! The theme is just there to inspire people if they want to submit but need a jumping off point, it also inspires the look of the design for the edition.

Deadline to submit is 5/14.

This Tuesday marks our last meeting before TDOV. We'll be discussing last-minute coordination and details. But after that, we'll also be making signs as a group for the march! Please bring your own supplies, and if you have some to share, we welcome it!

Potluck style as usual, come hang with us before the big event on Saturday.

Tuesday, March 25th at 6 pm, at OKEQ.

🌟🚺Happy Women’s History Month!🚺🌟

We want to honor the achievements, the resilience, and contributions of women from all walks of life who have paved the way for progress in our fight for equality throughout history.

This month, we recognize the incredible stories of strength and courage within our community and beyond. From activists to artists, trailblazing women continue to inspire and lead change, challenging the patriarchal narrative, and advocating for the rights of all.

To our trans sisters who continue to choose womanhood over and over and over because it is where they belong. To the butches. To the hairy women. To the femmes. To the black woman. To everything in between who identify as, or align with, woman. All of you belong here.

Join us in celebrating and empowering all of our amazing community sisters! 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈❤️
