Complete Eradication of Pronouns
Some days, I don’t want any pronouns.
Example:
Leo said Leo doesn’t want third person pronouns used to refer to Leo because Leo’s relationship with pronouns is complicated.

This Is Signified. An awesome web-series, documentary, multi-platform space for the representation of many experiences and expressions of queerness!
They’ve finished their kickstarter fundraising, but this video is great as a sort of “about us” trailer type intro video.

Coming Out as Transgender, Genderqueer, and/or Non-Binary Masterpost
Neutrois Nonsense: Coming Out as Trangender, Genderqueer, and/or Non-Binary Masterpost
Wonderful list. I’ll also add the two posts I’ve written on coming out:
gqid:
I’ve been getting lots of questions on Genderqueer Identities in regards to coming out lately. I continue to welcome questions, but I would also like to make a masterpost of resources I tend to recommend to people - this is a work in progress. Please note, you should not feel obligated to come out. Furthermore, you may want to come out to some people, but not to others - this is a very personal process.
You may find pros as well as cons in the resources below - take what you find will be useful to you and leave the rest behind. Be aware that coming out can be followed by unpredictable responses, both positive and negative, from friends, family or partners. Since there are fewer resources at present about coming out as genderqueer or non-binary, many resources will pertain to transgender people who identify as men or women - many of these suggestions can potentially be adapted to one’s own identity and situation. I have also included guides to potentially show people one has come out to to aid in understanding - as with the guides on coming out, use your own discretion, as a variety of suggestions and viewpoints are represented.
If you know of further resources concerning coming out as trans*, genderqueer, and/or non-binary or want to share your own personal coming out story, please let me know!
How-Tos on Coming Out:
Human Rights Commission: Transgender (scroll down the page to Coming Out to Family as Transgender, Coming Out in the Workplace as Transgender, and/or Marriage and Coming Out as Transgender)

PFLAG: Coming Out Trans to Your Parents & Family
Susan’s Place: A Guide to Coming Out to Family
Transgender Mental Health: Thoughts on “coming out” as Transgender to family
TransYouth Family Allies: Considering Coming Out as Gender Variant/Transgender to Your Parents?
Forums Where You Can Ask Questions About Coming Out:

Queer (English Version)Alright friends, I got the English version online! I just wanted the first day’s worth of hits to go straight to Projet 17 mai, since they’re the ones who asked me to contribute, y’know? /:)
DISCLAIMER: Since this comic is addressing sexual identity, I only included sexualities under the Queer umbrella— although, obviously, queer also encompasses many gender identities as well.
As I said in my post debuting the French version,
Projet 17 mai contacted me several months ago about creating a comic on the theme of homophobia, and though it is definitely something I’ve experienced (being denied service in shops, having people throw garbage, being followed by howling gangs of men, etc. just for holding my girlfriend’s hand), I actually have been more hurt and upset by the biphobia I’ve experienced from the LGBT “community” for falling in love with and marrying a cisgender man. Even bisexuals have been needlessly mean because I feel the term “queer” is a better fit for me instead of “bi” (it’s totally cool if “bisexual” is the term that works for you!! It’s just not the one for me). Basically, the Identity Police have been very hurtful to me (and others who are attracted to multiple genders), so that’s what I did my comic on.
Check out this amazing comic about one person’s experience with their queer identity! [We art school kids - we like comics.]](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m48g68SoIp1qb4d0zo1_500.jpg)

Infographic of the Day: In which gay rights in the U.S. — marriage, adoption, employment discrimination protection, hate crime laws, and whether schools have regulations to ban harassment based on gender and sexual orientation — are broken down state by state (using rainbow colors, of course).
And it’s interactive!

LBGTQ* Charts and Graphs
Androphilia: attraction to males/men
Gynephilia: attraction to females/women
Sexual Orientation / Person’s Assigned Sex or Gender Identity
*Please note, I did not create this chart. I was also unable to find a chart which read Gender Identity instead of “sex.” This is not intended to be a cis-privileged post, nor to deny anyone’s sexual orientation based on their assigned sex at birth.
