If you’re ever worried about what an artist or author will think of a comment you want to make, just know that today someone specifically commented on how much they love the way I draw chairs and it made my day.
There are more than just two genders. There are more than just two sexual orientations. It is time people respected that and educated themselves on the differences. If someone comes to you and tells you they identify as x y or z and you don’t know what it is look it up. Educated yourself. Respect the persons identity.
I will help you out.
Here are some of the common genders and sexual orientations.
Gender
Agender: A person with very little or no connection to a traditional gender. also gender neutrois, genderless, gender neutral
Bigender: A person who identifies as two genders
Cisgender: A person whose gender identity matches their biological sex assigned at birth
Demigender: Has a partial connection to a certain gender (Demiboy and demigirl)
Gender fluid: A person whose gender identity fluctuates between different genders.
Multigender: A person who identifies as multiple genders
Non binary: A person who does not identify as simply male or female, can fluctuate between male and female or somewhere between. An umbrella term.
Polygender: Identifies with several genders at the same time, or at different times

Note: There are more identities, these are just the ones I know of. If you identify as something I didn’t put on the list, feel free to add it.
Respect a person’s gender identity and sexual orientation. If it is a term you are unfamiliar with, educated yourself and either ask the person or look it up. Don’t mislabel people on purpose.
Queen Hatshepsut of Ancient Egypt. She has a lovely smile for someone who’s been dead for thousands of years.
she wasn’t a queen. she was a pharaoh and wanted to be referred to as such. she even had her statues modeled after the male pharaoh’s statues to state her dominance and authority. she was actually one of the most successful pharaohs in all of ancient egyptian history and she reigned longer than any other woman in power in egypt.
damn no wonder she died and smiled for a trillion years afterwards
The fact that we know about her is marvelous.
the next Pharaoh after her Tuthmosis III tried to erase Hatshepsut out of history ,chiseled her name off her monuments ,covered the text on her obelisks with stone,knocked down and defaced her statues .
she was even left off the list of pharaohs ..talk about some patriarchy bullshit
her name was lost for a couple of millennia, her body was found in a unmarked grave in early twentieth century
sad part is in Egyptian belief is if your are forgotten in the living world you don’t exist in the afterlife,so he was trying to kill her even in death
My best friend throwing down some herstory. A+ commentary
She wore a fake beard, you guys. She was the fucking boss.
If we remember her now does that save her from an awful afterlife?
I’m just picturing the Kemetic afterlife. All the Pharaohs are hanging out in some kind of swanky club, drinking and congratulating each other on being bros.
The doors slam open and Hatshepsut strides in, glorious, robes swirling, rocking the fake beard and the insane amounts of wealth and power. “Miss me, bitches?”
Then she punches Tuthmosis III straight in the dick.
Reblog so Hatshepsut can dick punch tuthmosis in the afterlife.
