Something that has always bothered me as a southerner is the idea that all of the south falls one (conservative) train of thought. Though I no longer live in the deep South, I do still introduce myself as from Alabama.

While I know where these ideas come from, I want people to remember that one, the South is not a monolith, and two, the majority of Black people in the United States still live in the South.

People in the South are often subject to intense voter suppression and sometimes very strong remnants of Jim Crow. Not everyone will want to leave, nor should they have to. Not everyone can leave. There are so many reasons for people to stay in the land of their family and their ancestors.

That's really where this piece came from for me.

pls add on if you are more qualified to talk about this than me

i know i might be preaching to the choir here, and that i am not the best equipped person to say this, but as a white queer who lives in the city i am ashamed of others like me who look down on folks who live in red states or rural areas.

middle class white queers from the city, you do realize that there are queer people in the south, right? people who don't want to leave, don't want to be seen as helpless victims of where they live, people who deserve to be safe where they are?

working class queer people, we will always have more in common with the poor and working class of the south who may not understand gender stuff, may use outdated terminology, than we ever will with the richer city people who make the laws and have the money.

i would much rather work with or befriend someone who uses the word 'transsexual' or doesn't have the hang of pronouns but still respects me, or just doesn't care enough to disrespect me, than someone who knows all the specific gender and sexuality labels but doesn't try to help their community at all.

and there are people in the south who are fighting to make the red states safer, people who are making a space for the young queers with not supportive families and who are doing so much more for queer people everywhere than you are.

this especially goes if you're one of those people who doesn't vote because it 'won't matter' or doesn't wanna get involved with local politics cause that's 'participating in the system'. we have to start somewhere, and it's good to show up to vote and show what the people actually want.

basically- don't be a dick to people who live in red states, and get involved with your own community if you care so much.

Move to the Deep South. Shout the words "jubilee" & "gleaning" until full communism erupts.

I love the idea of snow and cold climates but I can’t handle 30 degree Fahrenheit weather I would do badly in a cold climate

Tumblr I have so many questions about this ad

1. What does this have to do with southern hospitality?

2. A cozy chat room for what? Pretending to run into my worst enemy while eating shrimp and grits at a local brunch eatery??

3. Did you target this at me because I am in fact a southerner?

4. Do people cosplay as us online in chat rooms like this?

5. Why are there so many quotation marks at the end of that sentence?

6. Do you think that interactions between southerners in cozy settings are adversarial? There’s a disparity here between the words hospitality/cozy and the sudden turn to worst enemy encounter.

What a wild thing to put on my dash

A Good Trans Medical Story

This morning I had surgery today for the phase 1/trial period/temporary version of the nerve stimulator bladder implant I'm supposed to be getting (and first of all, holy shit! A relatively minimally invasive and easily reversible trial period for implants!!!). I'm decades younger than the usual patient that needs this, but I had sepsis earlier this year and it fucked up a lot of things, including leaving me walking with a cane. It should be noted that I'm transmasc and I live in Mississippi. Even though the doctor I was seeing wasn't in a religious hospital when I saw him for appointments, he had surgical space at one of the religious hospitals - and his people had marked me as Male in my records. Even when I had to clarify with the receptionist at the Mississippi religious hospital that I was trans because it was potentially relevant to the surgery, she was kind and happy to help me, and even went out of her way to ask a supervisor how to enter the information properly so it wouldn't get messed up. It should be further noted that the surgery had nothing to do with transitioning in the slightest, I was just a person who happened to be trans seeking healthcare. Even the original sepsis had nothing inherently to do with my transness, really, just poverty and being brushed off as "med-seeking" until I was obviously and visibly dying. The surgical nurse was polite when asking whether I still had the equipment needed for pregnancy to determine whether I needed the routine pre-procedure pregnancy test. No one gawked or made a big deal about anything. There was only one person who misgendered me, but I don't remember how long they were actually in the room, and I don't know whether they even saw anything other than my long hair. So I don't know for sure whether it was malicious and will choose to believe it was accidental because the rest of the experience went well. Beyond that, when I was (as usual) a difficult stick for the IV - I probably have some scar tissue in places from the sheer number of times I've been hospitalized or needed ER trips - the nurse tried only a couple short times before reaching for the lidocaine and using what would be a normally painful spot in the wrist. he got a great, painless IV line in only one more try and I wish hospitals would just do that sort of thing with me from now on. 11/10.

The surgery itself was also significantly less painful than other surgeries I've had before, and they provided low-dose but still completely sufficient medication and recommendations for how much ibuprofen to take. My symptoms already seem to be getting better to the extent I hadn't realized quite how bad they were before and I'm very excited to get the full implant soon after the trial period is over. My quality of life is going to increase measurably.

About Me

I'm a 23 year old nonbinary journalist born and raised in Georgia, and recently moved to North Carolina to be closer to my partner! So yes, I'm a proud Southern Queer. [obligatory meme drop]

Outside of journalism, I love to play Dungeons and Dragons and have also been a long time play-by-post roleplayer (which is how I actually met my girlfriend!). I also love to draw, listen to music, impulse shop and shit like that. Will Wood and Hozier are some of my favorite musicians, and otherwise I hyperfixate on a variety of artists and genres. I'm politically punk and aesthetically goth/alternative (or try to be). I also personally identify with voidpunk, which was coined here on Tumblr! I'm also a Hellenic pagan witch, primarily a follower of Hades. I just moved out of my childhood home where I was in the broom closet, so I am still learning a lot about my practice and craft. I also hope to pursue Draconic paganism and witchcraft in the near future. I have a nearly 9-year-old chiweenie (chihuahua/dachsund mix) named Bobo who is my everything. Even when he causes me trouble. Who knew an old man could be so mischievous?

He's also a Cozy King, if that wasn't obvious. Some of my favorite foods include bubble milk tea, coffee and pizza, lactose intolerance be damned. I also live off of strawberry crystal lights and sweet tea. Yes, I do have a caffeine addiction, thank you for asking. IIiiii...think that sums up everything for right now! Hit the ask if you have questions!

As a southerner who has just recently moved to the north east it's been jarring to see how classist people can be against those with southern accents. Not to mention the automatic assumption that all southern people are uneducated and racist. I understand how the south is perceived and many times it lives up to the perceptions that people have of it. But if one more fucking person tells me, "I would never expect that from a person like you," in regards to me getting a masters and being far left; I'm gonna go fucking feral.

#southerner #north east #classism #i could understand assumung my political leanings as a safety mechanism #but to assume im uneducated and acting shocked that im getting a masters is bullshit #the people who have talked down to me about simple things because they think i cant understand is stupid #just cuz i talk slow dont mean i am slow #venting #just frustrated from a belittling encounter at a levi store trying to return something #so feel free to ignore
