A history law class based in the 19/20th century. I learned so much about the gender non-conforming folks that have lived in the US during those years and how they shaped the laws for centuries to come. Their existence was the reason we have such sexually repressive systems that makes it hard for LGBTQIA+ folks to exist.

learning all this was blowing my mind. But then I'd go home. It was hard because at home, my family would keep up transphobic rhetoric abt how trans/gayness is a trend or fad, and that class blew all that away. It was easy to recognize how all that rhetoric was bullcrap.

To add on top of that, I know that there are so many civilizations that do not recognize gender the way the westerners do.

I fucking hate knowing the reason why we question the existence of folks outside the binary spectrum is due to the whhhhite supr*macy capitalist heteronormative patriarchal systems that control our bodies.
