Female doesn't equal cis
genderbitch:
So I had the pleasure of that fuckjaw Bug pulling her same old stupid shit on twitter, saying that I’m mad that “female” exists.
I’m actually not mad that female exists, I just wish radscum actually knew what the fuck it meant.
See the funny thing about the biological category of female is that it comes in multiple flavors, all of which are arbitrary and all of which outright fail...

Fuck tolerance. I want more. I want to be embraced as I am. And I don’t want it to be a big fucking “gimme cookies, I accept you!” thing. It should just be the way it is.

Hi! I just started a tumblr, the Transgender Couchsurfing Network. After seeing dozens of posts come across my dash about displaced or homeless trans people needing places to crash, I decided that there had to be a way to organize these posts somehow, and to put those in need in contact with those willing to lend a hand. If you’re trans and need a place to...

liquornspice:
I just searched: “racial bias in treatment for anxiety disorders,” but ended up looking at another article about how white health care professionals don’t think Black people need pain management. The article is actually pretty hilarious in how sunshiny-liberal it tries to be:
College students and nurses went to greater lengths to ease the pain of members of their own race in a...

“It’s great when men identify as feminists. Really, it is. It’s great when anyone identifies as a feminist. What’s more important, however, is actually sticking to the tenets of that identity and philosophy. This is important for feminists from all walks of life, but it becomes particularly paramount when men claim the title of feminist. Many a woman-identified feminist is unwilling to speak...
"Women" vs "Girls".
dumbthingswhitepplsay:
So more than once I’ve seen some white women complain about (white) women being infantilized, treated like “girls”, treated like dainty snowflakes, and not adults, and some have complained about the use of “girl” to refer to an adult woman at all.
That’s all well and good, but let’s remember that some women are NOT infantilized in this world.
Like black women.

To the first man, who I met by the Eiffel Tower my second week in Paris, when I didn’t know better. Who took me out four times, who waved little red flags that I tried to ignore.

It kind of reminds me of an Enya song but i can’t find it and don’t know for sure if that’s the artist anyway. I saw the music video on CMT (country music television) in the late 90s/early 2000s and have been searching for it ever since! I will be so excited if someone knows what this song is.
(It worked when i was trying to find the song ‘Overdrive’ so i’m...

mrrglover:
People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to...
