Miss Major On Rioting At Stonewall: ‘That Was 3 Nights Of Absolute Terror’
the article is a little vapid but well worth reading for Miss Major’s words.
on assimilation:
“[…I]f you want to do something different and be the best person that you can be, why would you want to mimic or copy people who absolutely hate and abhor your very existence? And who, if they would have gotten the chance, would have eradicated you years ago. But you want to copy them and live like they live and have a little house and adopt a little black child and live this life that you really haven’t earned, or they don’t feel are entitled to. And then to turn your head and criticize and ruin and step on someone else’s life, which is usually my community. That’s my fear.”
on Stonewall:
“For what good it did my trans girls, it might as well have not happened.”

Reblogging this again because this needs to change
The marginalization of LGBT people, especially ones of color, is a large attribute to sex work because they cannot get “real jobs” and don’t want to starve. Remember both of these things.

I’m happy to say I am legally Zya Jade De La Rosa and my legal gender is Non binary in the state of California. ✅
help star amerasu recover from surgery!
Star: I am an independent artist who has been living in and out of the San Francisco Bay for the past 7 years. I make music under the moniker Ah-Mer-Ah-Su and I create visual and other perfomance based art as Star Amerasu. My work is based around living my life and striving to make the best of things, despite living in a hetero-patriarchal society that has been built to undermine the existence of queer black and brown bodies.
I started my medical transition at 19 years old. I moved myself from Austin,TX to San Francisco to access some of the best trans healthcare services available. I underwent Sexual Reassignment Surgery at 21 which greatly helped my gender dysphoria. One of the hardest things I will admit is that while my body feels so much more aligned. I still experience dysphoria around the shape of my face.
I have the privilege of being in the San Francisco Bay, and having medical insurance that will actually pay for part of my surgery. Making what would normally be an almost impossible amount of money to pay, much smaller.
I have a tentative surgery date Scheduled for August 10th and have been put on a cancellation list which means I could get called in to have surgery as early as April or May.
I’m raising money to pay for my miscellaneous medical expenses, the procedures that aren’t covered, and my rent for the month of surgery and the month after.I’m looking to raise this money by May 1st in order to pay all the fees I have before surgery, and If by chance I get called in to have surgery early I will be able too have this life affirming procedure.
I don’t know why I ever expect white queers to include qtpoc in literally anything without us kicking and screaming about it
this is a lesson I am doomed to continue to learn
