nbgems:

s/o to trans and non-binary poc whose gender identity is based around cultural heritage! we often have our identities erased and in most countries, even if it’s our homeland, we’re robbed of the ability to express ourselves and openly be who we are due to a long history of colonialism. binarism has taken a big toll on a lot of us, but we’re still here and we’re still going on strong! 

if you’re a tpoc or a nb poc and your identity and it’s connection to your culture has been erased because of binarism, i just wanted to tell you that i’m extremely proud of you for staying true to your roots and not allowing society to bring you down or take your heritage. stand tall and stand proud of who you are, and never let society define who you truly are.
