That's right!  That there is the first ever J Them/They and 100% it will be digitized.  

Most likely tomorrow, but you never know with ADHD!


Anyway here is J Them/They no.2:

Here's what I wrote on Tumblr:

Here are my complex feelings about Queer Visibility within the—so called—Queer Community itself.

Just kidding, I'm not going there.  Not enough text in the world to describe that mess.

Here is what I'll say here:

Alex and I have learned to cultivate OUR Queer Community.  Why?

Because to The Standard Queer Community we are straight people (or "breeders") pretending to be Queer—OR—I am the sexy visible partner and also there is some woman joining me.

You would—and would not—believe the disrespect.

Irregardless or the various combinations of visibility and invisibility, Racism has divided the—so called—"Queer Community" so thoroughly and so grotesquely that—finally—folx got together and organized a SECOND ALTERNATIVE Queer Pride (where I live) for BIPOC to celebrate themselves (and each other) in a SAFE space.

...AND EVEN HERE Alex catches hell because if it's not Racism it's Colorism and if it's not Colorism it's Classism and if it's not Classism it's Ableism.

...

So yeah we have our own Queer Community thankyouverymuch!

Oh gods, same for us. I used to be waaaay more involved in Pride stuff and I just can't anymore. I'm so tired. Having our own little community is all we can do.
