I feel like everyone deserves to be with whomever they want. Same goes for classifying their own gender identity.

Equal rights for all.

Unleashing the Power of Your Voice: Standing up for Yourself and Others

Shaina Tranquilino

October 21, 2023

Throughout history, individuals who have used their voices to stand up for themselves and others have played a pivotal role in shaping societies. From civil rights activists like Martin Luther King Jr. to Malala Yousafzai advocating for girls' education, these courageous individuals remind us of the immense power that lies within our own voices. Speaking up is not always easy; it requires courage, resilience, and determination. However, in this blog post, we will explore why using your own voice to stand up for yourself and others is crucial and how it can create positive change.

Advocating for Yourself:

Speaking up for oneself is an empowering act that allows individuals to assert their needs, boundaries, and beliefs confidently. When you use your voice to advocate for yourself, you establish healthy relationships built on mutual respect and understanding. Moreover, expressing your thoughts and opinions openly fosters personal growth by challenging self-doubt and building confidence.

Empowering Others:

Using your voice to speak up on behalf of others who may be marginalized or oppressed is an act of solidarity that holds immeasurable value. By amplifying unheard voices, we help create a more inclusive society where every individual's experiences are acknowledged and respected. A powerful example is the #MeToo movement, which empowered survivors of sexual assault to break their silence while shedding light on the pervasiveness of such issues.

Catalyst for Change:

History has proven time and again that when people unite behind a common cause with a collective voice, they become unstoppable forces for change. It was the resolute voices of suffragettes that won women the right to vote in many countries worldwide. Similarly, civil rights leaders fought against racial segregation through peaceful protests and speeches that ultimately led to significant legal reforms.

Inspiring Others:

When you find the courage to speak up and share your experiences, you inspire others to do the same. Your voice can become a catalyst for change in someone else's life, encouraging them to confront their own challenges and advocate for themselves or stand up against injustice. By using your voice authentically and fearlessly, you create a ripple effect that spreads empowerment throughout your community.

Overcoming Challenges:

Speaking up is not always easy; it often comes with risks and hurdles. However, by embracing discomfort, we grow stronger and more resilient. When faced with adversity or opposition, remember that every great movement encountered resistance before achieving success. Use these challenges as opportunities to refine your message, learn from differing perspectives, and build bridges of understanding.

The power of using your own voice cannot be understated. Whether standing up for yourself or advocating for others, speaking out has the potential to transform lives and shape societies. It may feel daunting at times, but remember that even small acts of courage can have profound impacts in creating positive change. So let us embrace our voices, unleashing their power to uplift ourselves and those around us. Together, we can make a difference by speaking up, even when it is hard to do so.

If you stand for equality, go vegan. All animals, regardless of their species, deserve to be treated the same.

“In some countries, women and girls are punished for wearing too many clothes; in others, because they don’t wear enough.” António Guterres, Secretary General of the United Nations sends an implicit reminder to France (in French!) 👗💔

A third red state BLOCKS anti-trans legislation from becoming law.

Kudos to all the brave activists fighting their states hard on their bigoted legislation.

Something Good – Negro Kiss is a short film from 1898 of a couple kissing and holding hands. It is believed to depict the earliest on-screen kiss involving African Americans and is known for departing from the prevalent and purely stereotypical presentation of racist caricature in popular culture at the time it was made.

“There seemed to be something a lot more intimate and having more to do with self-presentation. And that’s unlike anything I had seen from that period when all moving picture images of African Americans were through a white lens and are distortions, misrepresentations, or pseudo anthropological. And this is none of that.”

It's A Trans World. 🌎 🏳️‍⚧️

💙💖🤍💖💙

Had this downloaded to Pixabay first, but then I deactivated my account after only posting 4 pictures. Turns out when you deactivate your account, any pics you downloaded stay on the site and are labeled under anonymous, so posting it again here, because I know there a few trans people on here, & this is the world we would all like to see.

And 🖕 transphobes.

STOP TRANS GENOCIDE

TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS

FIGHT FOR TRANS LIVES

This is probably because I grew up watching 24/7 animal planet, but what finally made the allo/aplatonic thing click for me were the nature's of big cats.

Lions are powerful, regal creatures who are uniquely adapted to pack life. They need these connections to live a healthy life; A lonely lion is a miserable creature indeed.

Jaguars are solitary, beautiful creatures who live happily solitary. They prowl their lush world with self-sufficient majesty. A jaguar is not lonely without a pack. In fact, forcing jaguars to share space with others they do not enjoy is just as damaging as forcing a lion to live alone.

A lion may choose to head out on it's own for the most part, but in the end must return to the pack to thrive. A jaguar can choose to trust and enjoy the company of others, but they never feel the need to form a pack.

Is a jaguar selfish for this? A psychopath, a narcissist or any other such horrid assumptions? Is it a less moral creature than a lion, who seeks others like it to thrive?

Is a lion pathetic, or needy, or selfish for wanting community? For requiring contact with others like they require water? For their inherent need to string complicated webs of relationships that may seem silly or dramatic to others?

Of course not. These are ridiculous questions to even ask.

They are simply lions and jaguars.

In fact, is a jaguar that chooses to spend time with you not as magical as a lion's love? For a creature that needs no bond to thrive to still enjoy your presence enough to share it a time? Is a lion who can prowl the night alone not impressive in its strength and resilience? Is it not awe-inspiring in its ability to conquer a life it was never wired for and reign still?

Are they not both beautiful and awe-inspiring in their own ways, without being wrong?

Alloplatonics. Aplatonics. Are we not both special and beautiful in both our bonds and self-confident happiness equal, in each our ways? Is there not unique beauty in lifelong bonded packs and magical encounters that need no perpetuity to carry life forward?

Are we not but lions and jaguars? Neither wrong, neither selfish, but just different and beautiful creatures in each our ways?

That's how I've come to see it, anyway.

#lgbt #aspec #lgbtqa+#asexual #aromantic #aroace #loveless #aplatonic #alloplatonic #animals #I woke up at like 3 in themmorning to write this so I apologise for weird wording #I'm not awake enough to go hunting for the videos but if you want to see more about the equal majesty and difference in cats bonding #I suggest looking up Kevin Richardson's work with lions and panthers #I love animals. I hope I didn’t come off as degrading to anyone by using them as comparison #I can assure you the association only carries the deepest respect from me.#anyway all the aro discourse floating about made me think of this issue again #and how explaining allo/a-platonic needs has been a difficult task in the past #you're all valid no matter your labels or shapes or spots or manes #remember that when an orientation you don't understand comes to the lgbtable your job isn't to test them #it's to make room
