@MoMartin I'm a big fan of this, as well as expansive definitions of familial relationships in general. Everyone should get to choose the family to which they want to belong.

I have a pretty open-minded attitude to who someone's "ancestors" can be. Mine happen to be both my genetic AND cultural ancestors, but it doesn't have to go down like that. Who ever down the long centuries has contributed materially and spiritually to your well-being and self is an ancestor!

hewwo im just dropping by too say that i fucking LOVE my trans siblings you are all so talented and brave and powerful and you deserve the world ❤️

whats up queers i'm home, making tea, and ready to be do gay TODAY

A reminder to self and whoever needs it: Check in with your ancestors when appropriate and necessary. They'll remind you that they fought hard to get you here for a reason.
