The movement and the term "revolian"

Given that it is the one year anniversary of the movement, an update was definitely needed!

Revolianism, as a movement, celebrates non conformity to gender stereotypes and gender roles in heterosexual people, but it also fights against the intensive objectification of both men and women in the media, as well as disapproves with the wrong values of the over-sexualized society that we live in.

Sexual objectification of men and women comes at a time in which  brands, companies and industries benefit off of promoting unhealthy values to the younger generations. These sort of inaccurate depictions of how individuals should look create issues relating to ones self esteem, giving them insecurities and even body dysmorphia. If our society was less centered around the sexual aspects of one's life, that would improve people's self esteem and the image they have of themselves in their heads, giving them more confidence and improving their mental health. But for that, we need a movement which aims to change what our society prioritizes to promote to its people.

Also, Revolianism aims to give straight people the possibility of being free of gender stereotypes and roles, without being deemed as "confused" or being told that they're just going through a phase, which they will grow out of later. It is meant to give more visibility to revolian people- which are cisgender, heterosexual people who don't conform to gender roles or stereotypes.

The term "revolian" comes from the name of the movement and the purpose of the word is simply to describe one's relation with the society that he or she lives in. Instead of having to write "straight individual who doesn't conform to gender stereotypes", someone could just use the word "revolian", ultimately making it more simple to express themselves.

Gender non conformity is a beautiful concept, so everybody should have access to it, displaying it if they feel it represents them more. There shouldn't be made assumptions about people who display gender nonconformity, and sexuality shouldn't be assumed just by looks, because sexuality and appearance aren't inherently related, and everybody's identity should be respected.

Thus, revolians do need more visibility, and that is the reason why Revolianism is needed. It isn't meant to exclude anyone, but to give more visibility to a category of people that is completely neglected by the mainstream media, isn't mentioned as being a reality in the education system through books or open conversations, and is just generally dismissed as a "group of exceptions", therefore, not worthy of being promoted. Anybody can join this movement, if they like to help raise awareness to the identity of  revolians. They don't necessarily need to be revolians themselves.

If you want to understand more about the concepts behind the movement, you can follow @revolianism on Twitter of search for "Revolianism" on facebook.

Hopefully, this update helped you understand more about the movement itself, and if you want to make a change, feel free to join the change!

That is the Honor Flag, otherwise known as the Revolian Flag!
