Posted @withregram • @mxkingyaa A MESSAGE FOR QTGNC (ESP BIPOC) ...I talk a lot about taking up space. I do so because it’s fucking important. I am never unaware of who, without hesitation, take up allll the space and all the air and all the energy as I move my black queer as fuck, MoC ass out and about in this world. Whether I’m in reproductive spaces, fitness spaces, healing spaces, parenting spaces, wherever TF - I am inserting some myself and as many marginalized voices as I can into these spaces. I remind people that:-not only cis women bleed-some men and non-binary people give birth or need access to abortions-people’s size is not indicative of their health-weight loss promotion and diet culture is harmful AF-not all children live in a cishet two parent household-not everyone has access to therapy-yoga was appropriated and not everyone wants to or can afford white instructed RYT® 500 certification whatwhat-not everyone has access to fresh fruits and vegetables-trans women are women-non-binary does not mean undecided-bisexual does not mean greedy and confused-not all trans people are interested in looking like a cisgender person The list goes on. And I can always feel the discomfort in the spaces when people are happier to sit in their privilege and continue to centre their own lived experiences. I am not oblivious of the language that excludes and insulates certain people, in certain bodies, with certain privileges - and the resentfulness that I clutter up their whimsical realities with all my complicated interjections of those not really real people over there.So yah, I am here, again, reminding queer, trans and non-binary folx, especially black, brown, indigenous, people WITH colour to T A K E U P S P A C E!!! Let MF know that we’re here. Let em know. Let em know that we have needs, that we have full complete lives, that we breathe and do life things. That we are here. And we are not asking for inclusion. We demand it.#takeupspace #trans #transgender #queer #nonbinary #gendernonconforming #bipoc #melanated #qtpochttps://www.instagram.com/p/B8CjN2jBD3DfzzGUrX6wQmV0n_skU6X19VbWlk0/?igshid=28gpjeluq1rx -- source link
