Who cares?
polerin:
Who cares that you were just raped or sexually assaulted
Who cares that you are a woman.
You weren’t assigned that at birth, so die.
And they can’t even own that. They never can. They want us to be left out in the cold to die, and they can’t even see how that might possibly be construed as violent.
TERFs are scum
If you ever find yourself demanding that someone...
polerin:
Shut your mouth, stop typing, take a step way the fuck back, and then look at yourself.
TERF or MRA?
Person who believes that “female” is an acceptable replacement for “woman.” TERF or MRA? YOU BE THE JUDGE.

On the plus side, I saw FREE CECE graffiti on the way home.
Degrading bullshit
On the homeward leg of my bike ride this afternoon, two young women decided to have some fun at my expense. They threw ice, drinks and insults at me. Fortunately, there wasn’t anything seriously dangerous thrown in my direction.
I’m not sure whether they decided to attack me because I was (a) fat, (b) trans or simply (c) there. I ignored their insults as best I could and soon they...
ME3 thought
To me, the whole SHEPARD PAWNCH! thing varies between unsatisfying (female Shepard) and downright creepy (male Shepard). Either way, it comes off to me as “using physical violence to silence a journalist you can’t outwit.” With the addition of “sexist violence” if you’re playing male!Shepard.

round up 20 cis folks
tell each one individually that they’re about to go to a party with 19 trans people and that they can’t mention anything about it, they just have to mingle and shit (I know, this is laughably impossible, but it’s my imaginary experiment)
then have all 20 of them at the party
later on interview them one by one and ask what they...
Vatican busts nuns for not targeting gay marriage... →

abaldwin360:
A GROUP of Catholic nuns has been reprimanded by the Vatican for focusing too much on poverty and not enough on fighting gay marriage and abortion.
A male bishop has been appointed to bring to heel the US’ most influential group of Catholic Nuns, The Leadership Conference of Women religious, after the Vatican announced it would be completely overhauling the...
Also, people?
It’s not “Obama.”
It’s President Obama.
Respect the office.
Reagan was an actor.
GHWB and GWB were both the scions of a ridiculously wealthy family who had all the money they could ever want handed to them on a platter.
Bill Clinton was a politician right out of college.
Barack Obama is the only president in the last 30 years who has had the experience of raising a family on a middle-class income.
“For the first eight years of our marriage, [Michelle and I] were paying more in...”

My Renegade Shepard is a total human-centric bitch who hypocritically is screwing Liara on the side. Crew-cut, blonde, blue-eyed, icy-skinned butch dyke whose crew swears her skin is cold and she has ice water for blood.
Malandra (“dark serpent”) Shepard.
I don’t like her. Which is why I’m playing my Paragon Shepard (Alison, a pale, blue-eyed redhead with long curly hair)...
On Targetting The Trans Community
freedominwickedness:
I think that a lot of social justice activists, both on tumblr and elsewhere, have a very strong target fixation on trans women specifically because we don’t have a ton of privilege and/or an army of privileged allies to defend ourselves with. So we’re easy to dump on, especially with critiques that are valid or mostly valid on their own merits but should be applied to a lot...
