Der Streik der Frauen und FLINTA* am 9. März 2026 | Amalia Zeichnerin
In der „Litfaßsäule“ - Erster #FLINTA-Stammtisch für Lingen, Nordhorn & Umgebung
i love participating in the queer community- going to a FLINTA party this weekend, a ball next weekend, and a queer bazaar the weekend after that !! huzzah!! i love being a lesbian
A short ramble on „feminist“ men:
You know the kind of men on socialmedia with the pearl necklaces who listen to Lana del Rey and stuff. I will never trust them, it’s just in my eyes performative. They know that flinta persons seek emotional support and validation in a partner (of course this is just my observation). They represent themself as emotional available and understanding while still for example having toxic speech patterns. This includes abruptly cutting the conversation when another man joins and so on. I’ve personally experienced a lot of different things while being in social circles with so called feminist men.
I don’t want you all to think I don’t believe they believe in feminism, but I’ve experienced that when they are confronted with something that they don’t agree with it they immediately mansplain it.
The whole „oh I listen to Lana del Rey and read only female authors“ is something that annoys me, they understand feminism but rather than to stand with us flinta persons they use the whole feminist picture as a way to look for a partner. While still not reflecting their behavior towards flinta persons.
I hope you all understand what I am saying, and I can understand that there are a lot of different opinions about this.
Was mir richtig auf den Keks geht sind diese Leute die so tun als würde “Flinta” nur für cis Lesben stehen.
Abgesehen davon dass das Acronym von Radikalem Feminismus geprägt ist, benutzen es die meisten seiner Anhänger auch noch falsch.
Flinta steht für Frauen, Lesben, Inter, nicht-binär, trans und agender. Also alle außer peri cis Männer.
Aber wenn die Leute es als Synonym für lesbische cis Frauen oder gar die queere Community vewenden, geht jeder begrenzte Nutzen des Begriffs zum Fenster raus
What do hetero girls feel like when kissing a woman whose lips are so soft and there’s no beard—
I am beyond pissed that within the queer community of my city they are starting to use FLINTA and queer interchangeably now, which obviously leads to the erasure of queer men. I’m already bothered by FLINTA as oftentimes, the door policy excludes non-passing trans women, passing trans men and inter men as well as agender and nonbinary people who look too much like men in the eyes of the people on the door and the organizers. I even struggle with the idea and concept of FLINTA. I know of the origins of it and have been in FLINTA spaces before, but I never felt too welcome or like people would read me correctly. But with people now starting to use FLINTA and queer interchangeably, that’s just too far. Like there’s already so much anti-mascness, anti-men sentiment, attitudes and so on within the queer community and attempts of ridding the community of people deemed too masc and men, but this now just takes the cake.
Using FLINTA and queer synonymously is basically using FLINTA and LGBTQIA+ synonymously and thus stripping men of the label which is not right. Everyone should be free to and included within the label queer if they choose so. Yes, FLINTA people are queer, but so are inter men, gay men, queer men, aro men, ace men, aroace men if they choose to use the label for themselves. I am done. I just want more gay spaces and events in my city, god damn.

LGBT+ bar saying on the international women’s day they celebrate everyone “FLINTA” while you’re a trans man sitting in the audience

See Results*FLINTA is a German acronym that stands for Frauen, Lesben, Intergeschlechtlich, Nichtbinär, Trans, Ageschlechtlich - Translatable as: Women, Lesbians, Intersex, Nonbinary, Trans, Agender
English translations usually turn the woman part into female, which is a choice I personally dislike. Change the acronym if it doesn’t work in your language if you want to use it!
If you vote on this poll, it would be nice if you have experience with/had an understanding of the term prior to reading this post.
Side note beforehand:
I wish there were more than 12 answers possible. I would have added more combinations and options to best accommodate everyone. I would have also added an option for “complicated/nuanced answer” for every option. If you relate to multiple of the options, try choosing the one that you find most important to yourself and are comfortable with.
Pleased to announce that 3 pieces of mine appear in the latest issue of Anodyne magazine— a Berlin-based arts and literature review.
Anodyne publishes poetry, short fiction, and art with an eye towards exploring and uplifting perspectives on intersectional health issues and experiences in the global FLINTA* community.
I am delighted that my work in this series was chosen for this issue, and to find myself is such good company. Each of these pieces in mixed media collage is in large part a meditation on navigating my experience with chronic pain and my shifting relationship with my physical self.
“FLINTA* is an acronym representing “female, lesbian, intersex, nonbinary, trans, agender, etc.” It describes not only a marginalized group of people, but also represents a segment of society especially underserved and lacking community within the health sphere. Anodyne seeks to celebrate triumphs within this system, and to share common experience, by publishing diverse works from within our community around the world.
In doing so, Anodyne hopes to create a space for FLINTA* to feel a little less alone in navigating a system not designed for us.”
About FLINTA spaces
Hot take but no one owes you their medical history in order to be accepted into queer spaces (looking at you, FLINTA (women, lesbians, intersex, nonbinary, trans, … and a-spec?) groups). My amab friend, who’s constantly being seen as male, who doesn’t have preferred pronouns and still isn’t sure about labels, should be accepted into your rooms without question. He was so disappointed, he didn’t feel like they were allowed to take up space. If someone wants to enter queer spaces because they feel they belong there, they should be allowed to do so.
If “no Cis men allowed” makes you feel safe, you should be able to enter that space, even if you look like a cis dude.
A queer youth group I joined has explicitly on their website that “questioning or just interested people” are allowed to join their meetings.
I took my cis bf to a trans group meeting when I went for the first time because, well, anxiety. He only got asked how long he had been on T, and that’s it. No one bat an eye when he said he was just there for me. The queerness was not erased by a cis dude being there. It almost never happens that non-queer people join those meetings. But they’re allowed to do so, and I think it really helps.
I’m not saying “explicitly invite and include cis men in all queer-(fem) spaces, make them more cis dude-y, represent cis men more”
Just
“If you explicitly exclude people who might be questioning, but not yet ready for the label "trans” because they look a certain way or have the wrong agab+pronoun combo, that hurts people" also “not every caretaker of a queer disabled person is queer, and the disabled person should not feel the need to anounce their caretaker’s gender identity”
Maricas: the best looks from Barcelona’s ‘pervy’ techno lesbian party | Barcelona | Xula and Laradude | 19 May 2024
There is a woman at our local flinta* skate session and she started calling me little bumblebee because my pads are yellow and navy blue. And it looks a little like a bumblebee to her?
I think it is kinda cute and I like it.
Ecstatic to be part of @AnodyneMagazine I adore this piece. It is one of my most vulnerable and personal poems and I think it found its perfect home. Please share!
