‘Girl, You Just Gay’ – Daily #Microaggressions Faced By #Trans and #NonBinary #Africans
May 1, 2024
"The #LGBTQI+ community in #Africa has made significant strides in the face of prejudice, homophobia, and discrimination. Despite the challenges posed by punitive laws and conservative cultures, there are efforts to support and mobilise LGBTQI+ youth activists on the continent. However, the community continues to face setbacks, with instances of violence and marginalisation being reported in various African countries. For instance, in South Africa, a country with strong legal protections, violence against LGBT people remains a pressing issue, with at least 24 reported murders in bias-motivated attacks in 2021.
Despite these challenges, there are efforts to advance LGBTQI+ equality globally, including engaging the private sector to help advance LGBTQI+ livelihoods. The private sector's role in respecting the human rights of LGBTQI+ persons is being recognized, with initiatives such as robust business due diligence and human rights-based data collection being promoted to track progress toward LGBTQI+ economic empowerment.
In the midst of these efforts, it is important to acknowledge the specific challenges faced by Trans people and non-binary individuals within the LGBTQI+ community in Africa. While some have found supportive communities, they often experience Micro-aggressions and discrimination within these spaces. It is crucial to address these issues and work towards creating a more inclusive and respectful environment for all members of the LGBTQI+ community in Africa.
Misgendering, Deadnaming, Marginalising
Trans people and non-binary identifying individuals in the LGBTQI+ community face Micro-aggressions from both within and outside the community. Micro-aggressions against Trans people and non-binary individuals can take various forms, including #misgendering, #deadnaming, and invalidating their gender identity. These Microaggressions can be particularly harmful and contribute to feelings of marginalization, distress, and invalidation. Research has shown that gender minority youth experience more familial #Microaggressions, invalidation of #LGBTQ identity, and threatening behaviours (Arijis Q. et. Al. 2023).
"For instance, assuming that all individuals present as either male or female and failing to recognize non-binary or genderqueer identities can be a form of Micro-aggression. Additionally, making comments that link an Individual's LGBTQI+ identity with illness or pathology, or expressing surprise when someone's sexual orientation or gender identity is revealed, can also be harmful Micro-aggressions."

CW: Mentions of Sex, Sexual Organs, Gender and Star Trek
I dunno if I am just a Gender Rebel or if I am letting science get in way of my Science Fiction but Star Trek really bothers me. Like a Horse and a Donkey can have a Mule but that is completely sterile. Then you can fly all the way to Vulcan or Kronos, fuck a klingon or a vulkan and have offspring. Wut?
Also there are things like the Binars and the Denobulans that have genders outside the binary and Trip got pregnant that one time but still most species are predominantly Male = Dick-Havers and Females = Uterus havers and like why do they have those in the first place?! How has evolution converged that much? How is "Funny looking stick" the epitomy of all sexual organs that somehow every race has? Seems like a liability to Klingons. You'd think something more like a cloaca would make more sense around all those Bat'leths and violence.
How is it that Lwaxana Troi can just boink everyone and have kids? Humans, people with dying suns and weird cultural rules about dying at 60. Fluxona was the first OG monster fucker as she was also interested in Odo but STILL. How do the Betazoids do it? It seems impossible. It makes no sense. None at all for Gender to be binary and dimorphic EXACTLY like humans were from different primordial soup on different planets with different environmental conditions?
We shouldn't be having half-vulkans or half klingons we should get Kirk asking if he thinks he got this woman pregnant then the signature eyebrow raise from Spock "Unlikely, Captain, Human sperm do not have the motile force to counter the Xxyzzl Gap. It Would be most illogical that you could impregnate every species we come across, Jim"
Why Star Trek?! WHY?! Also why can these kinds of thoughts about hypothetical problems keep me up at night?

I'm beginning to wonder if I've been asking myself a question the wrong way round.
I've been asking myself: "Am I non-binary?" :NonBinaryHeart:
I'm thinking that maybe I should be asking myself: "Am I binary?"
I already realise that sex/gender are a spectrum.
So is it even really possible for me to be a binary trans fem if the very concept of a sex/gender binary is demonstrably false???

Tonight I attended the #BriannaGhey vigil in Cardiff, so lovely to see so many #trans #nonbinary people out in numbers. The speakers were amazing. Truly felt part of something and part of a people.
Rest in power! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️💕♥️
