Things worth noting in the middle of being happy about the same-sex marriage bill: it contains a clause which allows spouses of trans people to veto their obtaining a Gender Recognition Certificate (i.e. legal recognition of gender on birth certificate), even if that spouse is abusive. The only way around this is divorce. So if you want to transition and your spouse doesn’t want you...

since gay people call themselves flaming homosexuals can pansexual people call themselves frying pansexuals because not only is it like flaming homosexuals but we also have the benefit of a play on words

disneyforprincesses:
Everyone is complaining about Mulan’s apparent whitewashing. Everyone. Of course everyone is hating on the new designs. However Mulan’s whitewashing and Pocahontas’ new ‘apparel’ are the ones that are getting the most attention.
Can we actually do something about it? Yes and no

Hate to break it to all y’all who are reblogging that thing about “Cis means sex and gender match, trans means they don’t.”
My sex and gender match. And I’m trans.
Even if you think of my sex as “female”, it matches my gender. It is natural and fine for someone with a…

This is what the school-to-prison pipeline looks like. This is how black youth criminalized.

Hey.
So this is a movie about transgender people, that has (from the images) at least 4/5 of the main people as TPoC (and 3/5 are Black).
Let’s boost the fuck out of this and see if we can’t get them the money for this doc.

Here’s the deal, guys. Seismic air gun testing is this totally bullshit method of searching for oil reserves in the ocean floor or something. It’s not important, look it up on Wikipedia.
What IS important is that air guns are so bone-crushingly, pants-poopingly loud that in an underwater environment, they’re all you can hear. Bad news for whales and dolphins, who primarily...

My dog understands the word “No,” so how are you going to tell me teenage boys don’t know the difference between rape and consent?
Nailed it.
Maybe we should start hitting them with rolled up newspapers.

Intersectionality 101 (via queerblackandproud)
What you say: Misandry is just as bad as misogyny!
What you mean: I lack the critical thinking skills to differentiate between an oppressive system that's been upheld for centuries and a comically exaggerated response to oppression on a blogging website.
