Surprisingly, This Is What a Trans Genocide Looks Like
Everywhere we see people comparing trans existence to an insidious threat, a malicious ideology, indoctrination, contagion, or plague. "The leftwing gender insanity being pushed on our children is an act of abuse," Donald Trump said recently.

No country for LGBT
There's new laws in Tennessee targeting the LGBT community. One law is designed to restrict where certain drag shows can take place. This law was created by the republicans. Senate voted 26-6 in favor of the bill, with only Democrats opposing. The bill is just a little bit different than a version moving through the House chamber. The other law (Senate bill 1) has passed, and it is aimed at care for trans kids.

Not Getting Away With Anything
Hello! My name is Calla, I use she/they pronouns, and I live in Los Angeles, California. I am the writer and creator of Coming of Queer. My aim with this blog series is to promote the depoliticization of queer folks like myself. I doubt very much that this blog will ever make it anywhere, but I know that it will make me feel better on a personal level. I hope you stick around and either demystify trans folks or find a soothing place to land for yourself here in these stories.

Truth and expenses
You’ve taken what wasn’t yours to take. You’ve lied passed the point of being able to escape what comes next. Your surrender and eventually, you begging me to yield. I will be clear in a bit, once the truth comes out that you’re habitual. That and all the shame hidden behind your faux personality that is illogical to a point where I can’t help but laugh that you ever saw me as inferior. You are nothing, and I lifted your useless ass up over my head to be left abandoned, broken-hearted, so you can be seen as a victim, again? If you only knew, I loved you, none of that had anything to do with pity. It’s such an ugly look, but you’re proving it is apropos.

Shade & Getting Laid
By Brian Salkowski After a few days of government forced self-isolation in response to Covid 19, I wanted to do some research on why gay men are the way they are. On a social level. Its findings reveal what many in the community know all too well: that gay and bisexual men can be pretty harsh with each other and with ourselves in trying to measure up. Some people reported feeling stressed by what they perceived as the community’s obsession with looks, status, and sex; they pointed to its exclusionary racism and social cattiness. “We know that men in general are more competitive, and that masculine-related competition is stressful,” one article on Wikipedia says. “What these data show is that when that type of competition happens in a community made up of men that both socializes and sexualizes with each other, the toll on one's mental health can be pretty steep.”

Deconstructing My Depression. Runner-Up in Pride Under Pressure Challenge. Content Warning.
Please be warned this has very heavy topics of transphobia & suicide. I am not in the best mental state right now, as I am sure so many other people feel the same. I am sure that even if our struggles are different, many other people battle the same emotions. It can feel isolating, even though intellectually I know I am not alone in these feelings.

a modest proposal
With a rising percentage of Americans identifying as LGBTQIA+, it is clear that a cultural shift in our country is necessary to achieve any semblance of peace in the coming years. Nearly 6% of Americans identify as queer in some capacity, and an estimated 20-40% of houseless youth identify on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. What accounts for this is often the response of family members after a child comes out. The queer youth is either kicked out or leaves their home due to safety concerns and lack of support. There must be some solution for this housing insecurity amongst queer youth that adequately addresses the harm done by straight and cis counterparts.

The first parade
In June 1970, one year after the Stonewall Riots, a group of LGBT+ activists organized the first Pride parade in New York City. The parade, which was originally called the Christopher Street Liberation Day March, was a historic event that would pave the way for LGBT+ rights around the world.

Unbound
I wore a binder for the first time today. I know it may seem like a small thing if you've never been uncomfortable in your own skin, but I've always seemed too big, too much, too many. Went to an AA meeting, a restaurant, out for a stroll, and had to weave myself around straight (passing) couples who take up the whole sidewalk–I guess they may not know what it's like to hide, or I wonder if they're insecure, unable to let go of the hand that proves their status quo. I understand that impulse, the urge to blend in with society, with 'normalcy.'
