We need better queer representation in shows movies and books
We need queer POC
We need people who don't want to label their gender or sexuality
We need trans people who's transition goals aren't to look cis
We need queer people with diverse religions
We need queer people who use pronouns that don't "match" their gender
We need aromantic and asexual characters
We need disabled queer people
We need queer people who use multiple labels for themselves
We need queer people who's entire personality isn't being queer
We need queer people who aren't just there because of romance
We need real and diverse queer people in the media

This post is especially dedicated to:
Black and brown people,
Physically disabled people,
aroace, nonplatonic, relationship-replused people,
touch averse and solitaremit people,
people who use pronouns other than she/her and he/him
nonbinary and genderqueer people
and everyone else who finally, finally gets to see some fucking decent representation...only for bigoted fans to immediately erase it and steal it for themselves and spam the fucking tags with the erasure and bigotry.
[ID: a twelve panel comic showing two stick figures, one seafoam green, and one lavender purple.
Seafoam has many circles aranged in front of them, showing characters in representation that are like them. Lavender has only three.
In the first panel, Seafoam is grinning widely, and Lavender is smiling. Both look happy, though Seafoam is happier.
Then Seafoam spots Lavender's representation.
Seafoam moves closer to Lavender, staring at its representation. Lavender, thinking Seafoam is simply admiring them, smiles, and asks, "Pretty cool, huh?"
Seafoam then reaches out for Lavender's representation, and Lavender, alarmed and confused, asks, "Wait what are you doing?"
Seafoam, picking up the representation, grins, and replies, "Making them like me!"
The representation turns blue, no longer purple. Lavender says, "But you already have so many that are like you!"
Seafoam deposits the stolen representation with the rest of their pile, and, grinning, replies, "I want these ones too!"
Lavender cries, "But now I won't have any! Those were the only ones I had!"
Seafoam smiles contentedly, and replies simply, "I'm okay with that!" The representation that was once Lavender's is no longer recognizable.
For two identical panels, Lavender stares at the smiling Seafoam in silence.
The last panel shows Lavender with its hands around Seafoam's neck, its eyes glowing red, and the whole thing motion blurred slightly as it screams in red, spray-paint style text, "I'm going to fucking kill you!!!!"
End ID.]
Bonus for people who Dare™ to headcanon characters as queer, Black or brown, or any other oppressed category.
[ID: A two panel comic, with Seafoam staring in disgust at Lavender, saying, "Hold it. What do you think you're doing?"
Lavender, holding a single ball of representation, smiles nervously and replies, "Well, you have so many and I don't have any, I just want this one…" It trails off.
The next panel shows Seafoam screaming and throwing their arms into the air, eyes glowing red and they scream, "You can't do that, get your own you fucking snowflake, who do you think you are, how dare you say this character might be like you you fucking freak, get out of here!!!" with many exclamation points at the end. Lavender, shocked, stares ahead silently.
End ID.]
Anyways, don't fucking interact with this post or my blog if you think "blackwashing" is an actual problem or at all comparable to whitewashing. Literally just shut the fuck up. Black and brown people creating representation for themselves is not the same fucking thing as white people whitewashing Black and brown characters. White people cannot be the victims of racism.
Darkening a character's skin for positive representation will literally never be fucking comparable to whitewashing.

Since this doesn’t usually go over well when I’m talking about it irl, I might as well spread it online.
Xenogenders are perfectly valid, because gender is a social construct. There can be biological aspects to transgenderism and non-binary identities, but that is only part of the story.
As a transgender girl, I know first-hand that much of my gender expression is based on aesthetics, and I know that the same applies to cis people, and certainly non-binary people. Hell, the words masculine and feminine are almost exclusively used to describe aesthetics.
People who identify as catgender for example, do not think they are cats. Species isn’t a social construct, while gender is.
Catgender people identify themselves as such, because their gender identity aligns best with an aesthetic or image related to cats.
“That’s just silly”, yes. They are aware of that, and it’s respectable that they choose to use those labels anyways.
Just be who you are, and let other people be who they are. You know yourself better than anybody can ever know you, and you should absolutely trust the people around you to know themselves too.
Whether you understand an identity or not, just try your best to respect it. I, for one, do not have a complete understanding of xenogenders, because I do not identify with any of them. That being said, if you’re more knowledgeable than me on this, if I got something wrong, I implore you to tell me, and I will gladly make any edits this needs.
