Also the manga is actually quite tame? In many cultures, queerness is so demonized that it's often internalized in odd or complex ways because of how society forces us to repress. Straight people, too, have weird relationships to sex, but only queerness is demonized to this point
Often I feel that, even amongst queer circles, my identity isn't really respected. Being proud of my muscles as a trans femme, being broad and masculine. I know I choose to present this way, I just wish people didn't see muscular as masculine.
A customer at work just called me pretty and I started crying a little.
I often have a lot of trouble with dysphoria, I just don't show it. It was so nice, I haven't felt pretty in a while.
I often feel like this. I wish to live a normal life, surrounded by flowers and warm meals and happy friends. I wish to be a beacon for others, the way they have been for me.

Hawaiians specifically have several words for different gender identities and revered them as spiritual and cultural leaders. Look up the word mahu for more info!! 💚
I am māhū. My Hawa'iian ancestors long ago had this word. "Man of body, woman of spirit". It's special to me, to know there's a place in my culture. To know that others walked this path before me, and were revered, accepted, and loved.
c: it's my birthday today. I'm 28 now. I've had a long life, full of difficulty. Let this be an easy one for everyone. 💚 Spread love, give money to those who need it. The only gift I wish for is to know my friends are safe and happy. 😌
Sometimes I feel perfectly between male and female. Like an androgynous Greek statue of a muscular person. Breasts and a dick, sculpted of marble, unapologetic.
