LGBTQ+ Joy on TikTok (because we need it)

[@cannibalisticginger7256]

Some poles spin, some don’t. They require different skill sets. When the pole spins you can do tricks that look like you’re spinning without having to loosen your grip which means you don’t automatically slide down the pole while spinning. With poles that stay put you have a looser grip in order to get yourself to spin around the pole and you will slide down the pole. Both styles are super cool in their own ways :)

[@risxra]

Oh cool! Thanks for the info!

Yes a friend of mine does pole dancing and told me how in the lessons they sometimes get a spinning pole and sometimes not. That's how I learned about it 😅

[@lindaandersson8248]

I was about the write the same. I usually only train with static poles so when I do tricks on spinny I usually get a bit dizzy. ^^' I've also found that certain tricks are harder and heavier on spinny pole and others are much easier.

"I feel like 13 is such an age." Yep. Even for people who didn't know they were part of the LGBTQIA-- specifically the A, in my case. My aro self was so confused about why everyone suddenly found it so important to talk about their crushes all the damn time, and the adults telling me I would start feeling that way too, any day now, whether I wanted to or not. It was so frustrating. But y'all, I promise it gets better. For the young folk reading this, puberty and adolescence will come to an end, and you will find your people, whoever they may be.

Thought that came to my mind lately: When someone says "you never be a real woman" (or man in the case of ftm, or nb, etc.) Imagine someone going to an adopted child, and telling them "you never be their real child". In both situations, it's biologically true (or partially biologically true in the case of trans folk), but it completely ignores the social and emotional part of the thing, not to mention that it's just rude and generally asshole behavior.

Most poles actually have a spin and static mode, so sometimes they spin and sometimes they don’t :) I think of using a pole on static and spin as different skills, usually with a lot of overlap. You can absolutely spin on a static pole, but not as fast and yes, you do end up with calloused hands

The Wedding-TikTok made me wanna share something with you. My partner came out to me as trans 2 weeks ago or so and before that, she always was like "no, I do not want to get married, it's silly and an event people spent way to much money on." After she came out, I asked her, if she could imagine marrying me in 5 or 10 years or so, after she is done transitioning (at least mostly done), if we are still together and she said yes and was very excited. So every time, one of us is overwhelmed with the situation, we look at dresses and rings and how we're going to cut the cake with a sword (her wish) or something and it makes us really happy 😊. (Guess I have to figure out my sexuality now, cause after the first shock, I kind of didn't mind the idea of having a girlfrind from now on😅)

The majority of real trans people, if they're not rushing into it the way they're being pressured to now and have actually had the desire their entire lives, will not be "mostly done" with their transition in 5 years.

I finally came out at 19. Everything went well thankfully but it sure wasn't fun doing that to myself, even if I had my reasons.

2:05 actually the pole can be static or spinning, you can change to whatever you like. In pole sports competitions it's mostly required to have one spinning and one static pole and you should use them both a certain amount of time. Personally I think static pole is better to learn new moves on and is easier, but with spinning you can create some very pretty flow in your routine and makes basic moves look harder than they actual are imo

Reading Jamie's book. It's hard to describe... part autobiography, part support, part explanatory, it just delves into trans experience with an constant emphasis that not everyone's journey is the same.

It's written in a light, folksy style, even though it references academic research as well

Thanks for this description, I find it really helpful :)

[@Leszek.Rzepecki]

@@pigeon_person Thank you, I just liked it enough to bring it up! One of the excellent features of Jamie's book is that it includes commentary from Shaaba, Jamie's wife, as well as comments from other trans folk about their own journeys and experiences. It also includes commentary for cis people like me, who cannot understand directly what being trans means, and how we can best support people who are, or are coming out as trans. Jamie's been very open about the difficulties he and Shaaba have faced together. My only regret is that the bookstore I bought it from, Waterstones, just had the one copy on display and they'd tucked it away on a shelf so only the spine was visible, which is why I had to ask staff to find it for me. It was a needle in a haystack! The reason I bought it at the bookshop rather than online as I'd normally do these days, was so that staff would realise there's an interest in it. One thing Jamie's taught me is that optimism needs to be indefatigable! He's a beacon of good hope for others. :)

Aww, as heartbreaking as that is, I hope you marry a wonderful woman (or enby, depends if you're also open to them) and have a wonderful life with them.

[@KaiLucasZachary]

@@neon17.08 Why would you say this? The person just said that they're a lesbian. No matter what you want to project on the world, "lesbian" has a very specific definition. Otherwise, they would have used a word like "pansexual" or any other word that includes people of various sexes and genders.

[@neon17.08]

@@KaiLucasZachary I'm not judging who the person is attracted to, a lot of lesbians are attracted to nonbinary people as well, nonbinary people are in a grey area of gender, they can be feminine and be very similar to a woman, theres a lot of traits and reasons of why a lesbian would be attracted to a nonbinary person, not all enbies are androgynous, some are also masculine. But my point of the comment was that I hoped they would have a wonderful life even with their upbringing.

There. Request sent to my local library to get the book. ^^ They probably will, they have a Rainbow Shelf for LGBTQ+ stuff.

[@Draco19970125]

Did you manage to erase your female/male sex chromosomes/organs? If the answer is no, then nothing in you is "non binary'. And unless you can switch female/male sex chromosomes, you are not FTM or MTF either.

Guys...I clicked on this video and I got an ad about detransitioners,

Good. You should be seeing both sides of the story instead of just feeding into fantasies. What's your problem with it?

[@TheRealG5]

@@KaiLucasZacharydetransition rates are pretty low, something that those ads don’t tell you. Another things those ads don’t tell you is that most people detransition because they weren’t accepted as who they truly were. The ads that put detransitioners on pedestals to make gender affirming care harder to access are spreading blatant lies and misinformation

What the fuck does this comment even mean? You're way too young. There's no way you wouldn't be "allowed" to marry someone legally if you're able to leave a comment on a video like this. If you have an abusive family, that's its own issue; but any country that allows you to view content like this will "allow" you to marry any human you want.

LGBTQ+ joy is a great thing but for that wedding entrance, I always imagine you could actually do a wedding entrance like a wrestling entrance, like you play some music in the background and out you come, you play to the crowd a little bit celebrating and doing poses and then you can hi five some people if you want or you can look at your partner with a fierceness in your eyes and then bing bang boom you go in for the kiss.
