IDENTITIES…
Being a queer identified person isn’t that simple…
Media lists…

handy dandy ez link
instead of wasting your breath!
At last ~ you can let explaining your identity be someone else’s problem! In the occasion that they do actually want to learn (and they aren’t just trying to put you in a situation that dehumanizes and ostracizes you in a socially benign way) then they’ll have this handy dandy reference information to pull up whenever they forget! Switch from explaining yourself to the H’DEZL now!!!
Tired of explaining yourself? Do you have a parent, grandparent, coworker, relative, or acquaintance who needs you to provide them with information they could have googled?
Well, no problem, friend, just send them this
COMPANY POLICY...
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
