this includes identifying only partially (but not fully) with your AGAB this includes wishing you were the other gender/not your gender not identifying completely with your assigned gender at birth.my inbox is also always open if you have questions or need more recommendations/ want me to clarify certain issues. for atla fandom specifically, i would look up histories of sexuality, gender and embodiment in asia - you’ll be amazed and often pleasantly surprised by what you learn. manalansan, mireille miller young, celine parreñas shimizu and gayatri gopinath. patrick johnson, gloria wekker, andrea smith, martin m. some scholars i’d recommend are audre lorde, cherrie moraga, josé estaban muñoz, e. there’s a whole world of incredible, expansive lgbtqia experiences beyond the realm of white cis gays, and there have been throughout history if you simply decenter whiteness and The West. by that same token, the emergence of a mainstream gay rights movement in north america in the latter half of the 1900s isn’t the beginning of lgbtqia history, and the experiences of white, cis, able-bodied gay men that continue to dominate our understandings of queer desire and sexuality are not only not universal, but are sometimes violently colonial.
