Anyways if ur cis or like new to the whole genderqueer scene, one thing to keep in mind is to just. Take other people’s word. On their own identity.

Like if they tell u they’re a certain gender or they prefer certain pronouns, that’s literally it. There’s nothing left for you to figure out, unless they end up telling you more later on. They don’t have to prove their identity and it is no one’s job to constantly reaffirm it.

Oh hey there, check out this sweet cover art my soul sibling from another mother, @bloodycreampuff did! I sat with this lovely human for hours as they drew it for me, and listened to my nonsensical ramblings about this fictional universe I created about two best friends falling in love that seemed, at least nine months ago, an impossible feat to accomplish.

And yet. Here we are. My little passion project is complete. It took me months to convince myself that this could work. Let me try and convince you.

Summary: Growing up is hard. Coming out is harder. Falling in love with your best friend sucks. Until it doesn’t. 

In Mackenzie’s life, she was always certain of these three things: one, she loves food. Two, she’s a lesbian. Three, she’s in love with her best friend. After coming out to her parents goes horribly wrong and not what she expected to hear, Mackenzie and Cassie’s relationship takes a surprisingly strange turn that neither girl was prepared for. Meanwhile, Cassie is struggling with her own sexual identity after her horrible break up with her ex, Mathew. In this new, strange life they share together, they both come to realize that no matter what you identify as, learning how to be an adult is the worst.

Follow Mack and Cassie’s journey to becoming almost adults here.

date a peach who means more to you than the moon and all the stars in the sky. take them stargazing and hold them in your arms to keep warm. steal glances at them while their face is illuminated by dim moonlight, stroke their cheek with your thumb, look them in the eye, and gently place a kiss on their soft lips. admire their perfect smile afterwards and simply shower them with love. 💙

lgbtbts:

if there’s a cute waiter that smiles at you and makes your heart flutter, leave your number. don’t think about if they’re into your gender or not.

if there’s an outfit you wanted to wear, go ahead and do it. don’t think about if that outfit is feminine or masculine.

if there’s anything ever that you want to do, let yourself try. don’t second guess your happiness.

i know so many lgbt+ people who hesitate to do stuff that makes them happy because they’re nervous if it matches with society. hell, i’m nervous a lot of the time, too. but we’re allowed to be out there and find the happiness we want.

don’t let your identity stop you from doing what makes you happy.

one of the most important things to me is reminding young LGBTQ kids that they do in fact have a history to reclaim and that there’s massive amounts of culture standing behind and supporting their identities. like you aren’t just standing alone here trying to understand yourself. there’s been millions of people in your shoes and they left behind stories, books, movies, photographs, paintings, nearly a whole language to communicate this facet of identity, and it’s possible to reconnect with that history despite the world trying to erase it. like you are part of a veritable culture, and you shouldn’t forget it.
