As the title says, I wanna get bottom surgery, but the thing is, I live in a country which has little rights to death penalty for lgbt folks, and I live in a restrictive family that are bigoted and filed with hate. Every time when I get hyped about bottom surgery, I remember I live with worst family in a worst country

And that makes me feel down bad, I just get sad every time when I think about it.

And I was wondering what will be my friends (Online and irl) and my family reaction like if I ever said I wanna get bottom surgery? This scenario makes me heated up and afraid if I ever said it to them I’m now just sitting in my room, so pissed off I live in this country

I wanna get at least help or advice regarding my situation

Thanks to anyone who replied to this post

Bye comrades <3

Today I was in my library’s chinese literature section, and books like Peacock cries and Eileen Chang’s works were catching my eye (Side note:is there such a little amount of queer work from the mainland? I know lgbtq stuff isn’t exactly utopian there, but there’s so little stuff I can find on the western internet. If anyone has any sources and English translations [or just sources for chinese books, since im learning chinese rn] please send them my way)… While I was browsing I was just wishing I had a girl-friend or girlfriend with me to talk to about this stuff. Then I though maybe there was some lesbian reading group I could join somewhere in my city. Who knows, might as well check. And then I remembered that I haven’t even started to transition yet. I’m still a boy, and it just sucks so much. How could I ever date someone before I start transitioning? Can I even interact with girls in the way I wan

@lgbt hello everyone one hope you are fine just allow me wish you all a happy new year and all your wishes do come true

This is about trans people in China, from 6 years ago.

Thank you Xi!!!

I was talking about how capitalism and the ruling classes used reactionary tendencies to their benefit, and in comes this:

"I know you're doing a tiny little marxist analysis here, but even without attacking your materialist framework, I don't believe that capitalism is inherently patriarchal, racist etc.

Don't get me wrong, capitalism is inherently hierarchic and can utilize other hierarchies underneath it. However, all these other systems of oppression — racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia... — are entirely accidental to capitalism.

Racism, sexism and homophobia are quite literally mere consequences of the history before capitalism: colonialism demanded racism in order to self-justify, homophobia came from the religious institutions during the feudal period, and sexism emerged way long ago when humans first settled down into sedentary agricultural societies.

None of these are essential or necessary to capitalism: capitalism is in no way defined by their presence,

In 1966, “Compton’s Cafeteria Riot” erupted in the streets of San Francisco’s Tenderloin district when a group described as transgender women and gay street hustlers fought back against police harassment. Rebellion broke out after a trans customer in the all-night cafe reportedly threw a cup of hot coffee in the face of a cop who was roughing her up. Transgenders and transsexuals threw sugar shakers through windows, overturned tables and torched a police cruiser. (San Francisco Bay Times, March 23, 2006)

On the 40th anniversary of the rebellion this year [2006], community-organized events in San Francisco will commemorate this important milestone uprising. The 1966 events are brought to new generations in the recent film documentary “Screaming Queens” — written, directed and produced by Victor Silverman, an associate professor of history at Pomona College, and Susan Stryker, former executive director of the GLBT Historical Society in San Francisco.

The British Mandate brought anti-sodomy laws to Palestine, a legacy that the […] occupation kept. The French Mandate brought anti-sodomy laws to Lebanon; that’s what Helem is fighting.

Now, today, here, with its first publication, this important anthology, Aswat is opening up a dialogue [in Arabic] with your own people in your own language about your own culture within your own history—​a part of the struggle of the Palestinian people towards the liberation they so richly deserve. You are developing a language of persuasion.

The discussion may not be an easy one—​profound and lasting transformation rarely is—​but those of us who defend your right to self-determination, your sovereignty, will defend the right of the Palestinian people to carry out their internal dialogue without [neocolonial] or U.S. interference or political manipulation.

Today there are some who will try to separate Aswat from the Palestinian struggle and only relate to you on the basis of a universal sexual

Shows you how transphobic my country really is. Don't get me wrong, the Iranian system seems to be impractical as well, but I'll still say it's better there than here.

Hirschfeld pioneered and promoted new theories of sexuality. He was especially interested in the study of same-sex love and desire. Hirschfeld challenged the common idea at the time that same-sex attraction was a pathological perversion and a vice. Instead, he argued that it was innate or inborn (angeboren). Hirschfeld insisted that a person’s sexuality did not determine their character or personality any more than being born left-handed or right-handed did.

Based on his understanding of same-sex attraction as inborn, Hirschfeld argued that consenting adults should not be discriminated against or punished for their sexuality. His work was guided by the motto, “through science to justice.” He believed that his ideas could reduce prejudice and create the public support needed to reform the German criminal code on issues relating to sex. Hirschfeld advocated for the revision of Paragraph 175. This was the statute of the German cr

Oops!

I feel kind of silly. I spent 12-13 years knowing internally that I am a woman. I regularly "pretended" to be a woman online as a kid and teenager. I have always preferred my "feminine" features and appreciated the "feminine" side of my personality far more than the "masculine". I used the nonbinary label as a shield, protecting myself from the truth for years.

I got out of a really rough, codependent relationship in 2023. I was told a lot of really horrible things about myself that I know now aren't true, but believed at the time. A lot of things that had me examining my supposed manhood and the more toxic parts thereof. I "came out" as cis. I created the Men's Liberation community here (and proceeded to not take an active role there due to depression and... well, this.)

I read a lot about masculinity and manhood, and began using my 'maleness' as a means to get better, as a means to do better, to be better. It would allow me to m

I am sick of LGBTQ media being dominated bs soulless corporate Marvelian horseshit so I need some recommendations outside of shitty hentai comics. My favorite media types are anime and video games.
