I'm back with another look for @nicoleloisee #Nico

I'm back with another look for @nicoleloisee #NicolesPrideInJuly
.
.
This time I've gone with the transgender flag (swipe to see). I was motivated to choose this by the frankly horrific and ridiculous things that are being said - with no consideration for the harm it does - by (usually straight cis) people in the public eye.
.
.
In particular people seem to be outspoken about the danger presented to cis women by trans women. I'd like to make it extremely fucking clear that this danger is NON EXISTENT. Trans women are not men in disguise. They are WOMEN.
.
.
I have never felt that my own womanhood or indeed anything else is threatened by the existence of trans people. I understand that different folk have different struggles but loudly shouting down and denying the experiences and even existence of certain people based on their gender identity is ludicrous.
.
.
Trans friends, you have every reason to be proud. You are brave and beautiful. These ghouls do not speak for all of us 💙🤍💕

So today I've done my makeup in line with @nicolel

So today I've done my makeup in line with @nicoleloisee #NicolesPrideInJuly tag. Thank you to her for creating it and giving us a space to carry on the conversation about pride and LGBTQ+ issues whilst playing with makeup 😎
.
.
.
The colours of this makeup represent the colours in the asexual and demisexual flags (swipe to see) 🖤🤍💜
.
.
Asexuality is a sexual identity whereby a person may desire intimate emotional and romantic relationships with little to no corresponding desire for sexual intimacy.
.
.
.
Demisexuals (widely considered to be on the ace spectrum) for the most part experience sexual attraction only once a strong emotional connection has been formed with another person. Both sexualities are valid and probably more commonplace than you'd think. There's more information available via The Trevor Project which I found useful!

A festival I can get behind, if we're being honest. I'm sitting in my @slamdunkmusic t shirt watching Glastonbury and missing festivals, gigs, even a decent jukebox. 2021 better get ready.

Thrusscross dam with the fam. The walk back was significantly longer than it should have been owing to me forcing us to walk very slowly and with constant vigilance to avoid tiny froglets who were making their way across the path 🐸

Everyone should be able to live safely. Three year

Everyone should be able to live safely. Three years ago 72 people died because the building they lived in was criminally unsafe.
Homes and families were destroyed beyond repair. Many people are still displaced with no permanent accommodation.
This government failed, and is still failing, these people catastrophically as well as countless others who are living in unsafe accomodation elsewhere across the country.

Justice hasn't been served yet, and we mustn't forget that.
Remember Grenfell 💚💚

Saw this sticker on my walk earlier. For some reason there are *many* people who continually seek to deny the existence of trans people and are obsessed by biological sex and gender binaries.

This is not a place for any of that. Trans people are people deserving of rights and respect. Being cognisant of that in our words and actions is the least we can do in order to support trans folk.
Respect pronouns. Respect their experiences. Educate those who are unaware and fight those who seek to deny, abuse and belittle.
