Update on my professor who tried to cal me delusional for me correcting him.

(18m) and I recently posted on here yesterday about my professor who tried to say using “they/them” pronouns are not realistic and that I should “stay as I am”. Since that day I haven’t returned back to his class and missed it deliberately. I was in shock when he said that I shouldn’t transition into a girl and that im “handsome” the way I am. He was completely transphobic and was off topic seemingly knowing I was just asking him about the assignments he gave, and not a lecture about how I should identify. I told my parents about it and they were very upset, they told me to report him and not go back to his class. I reported it to the dean and counselors, at first they thought it was serious but when i mentioned that he said I was a “very handsome young man” they were very concerned about that. He purposely called me a “man”, when he saw that my pronouns are “they/them”. Also, the counselor told me I wasn’t the only one he tried to be inappropriate with. He was allegedly investigated and put on administrative leave, when a girl reported him for harassment. They told me he’ll be investigated again and cannot teach until then. I’m glad I reported his disgusting, predatory and transphobia comments. And thank god I wasn’t alone with him in the class for too long, I wouldn’t know what he’d even do to me.

Trans Woman Eryka Caldwell Fatally Stabbed in Bushwick, Brooklyn

Eryka Caldwell, a 41-year-old trans woman who described herself as a “lover of everything sappy & mushy,” deserved so much more than this world gave her. She was killed in her Bushwick apartment on Sunday morning.

Police arrested her boyfriend, Jonathan Fernandez, at the scene and charged him with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon.

As a trans Latino, stories like this sit heavy on my heart. Rest in peace, Eryka. You deserved safety, softness, and a long life filled with love.

Marcia Gay Harden to Mothers Who Don’t Accept Their LGBTQ Children: ‘You’re Making a Great Big Mistake’

Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden gave a powerful speech urging parents to accept and support their queer children instead of pushing them away. As the mother of three LGBTQ children herself, she said families who reject queer people are “missing out on a fabulous life experience.” She also reminded parents that love starts at home — and joked that nobody does holidays better than the gays. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 blitzj0k3r on all socials.

I propose alternative flags for sapphic, achillean, duaric and diamoric!

​

The meanings of the colors are explained in the second image!

What do these terms mean?

🩷 Sapphic: refers to women or woman aligned people who are attracted to other women or woman aligned people. It is an umbrella term that includes lesbians, bisexuals, pansexuals, and queer women. A relationship between two women or woman aligned people is a sapphic relationship!

🩵 Achillean: is an inclusive umbrella term for men and man aligned people who are attracted to other men and man aligned people. This label encompasses various sexual orientations such as gay, bisexual, and pansexual. It is the male counterpart to the term sapphic. A relationship between two men or man aligned people is an acchilean relationship!

💛 Duaric: an LGBTQ+ umbrella term used to describe a queer man who is attracted to women (MFM), as well as a queer woman who is attracted to men (MFM). A relationship between a man and a woman in which at least one of them is not heterosexual is a duaric relationship!

💚 Diamoric: a broad term within the LGBTQ+ community that describes romantic, sexual, or platonic attraction involving at least one non binary person. A relationship consisting of at least one enby person can be called a diamoric relationship!
