“Look how your children grow up. Taught from their earliest infancy to curb their...”
– Voltairine de Cleyre (via petitefeministe)
The best part of this essay is when she advocates for children to be brought up with no gender-role stereotyping, and gets in some not-so-subtle digs at heterocentricism and heterosexism in the process.

Okay. Guys. Guys. Two things.
1) I’m a martial artist. I’ve been studying since I was seven. I wouldn’t even hesitate to say that I’m good at it. I have done work as a fight choreographer for film, and I am trained in stage combat as well.

– Why Women Aren’t Crazy (via lagrandefille)
I hate when people claim that women are crazy or complicated or don’t know what they want because fuck you. When a woman is vocal about her opinions, desires, feelings, you call her a bitch or crazy or hysterical. Women have been taught that the only way...

A Dad Testifies for His Transgender Teen Daughter →
ftmark:
My name is Wayne Maines, I live in Old Town. I have a 13-year-old transgender daughter. In the beginning, I was not onboard with this reality. Like many of you I doubted transgender children could exist, I doubted my wife and I doubted our counselors and doctors. However I never doubted my love for my child. It was only through observing her pain and her suffering and examining my lack...

“It’s Okay to be Neither,” By Melissa Bollow Tempel
Alie arrived at our 1st-grade classroom wearing a sweatshirt with a hood. I asked her to take off her hood, and she refused. I thought she was just being difficult and ignored it. After breakfast we got…

So, I never reblog these, because I’m worried some conservative following me will actually take them seriously and try to debate a point with me, but this one is actually pretty fucking hilarious, and I love the idea of changelings and have loved the myths (is that the word I’m looking for?) and stories of them ever since reading The Moorchild.

“The twin boys were identical in every way but one. Wyatt was a girl to the core, and now lives as one, with the help of a brave, loving family and a path-breaking doctor’s care.”
I think it’s important to share the positive stories. Parents who understand their transgender child? Good stuff.
Along the lines of that… http://t.co/5G3dqrp5

If there’s one thing that makes some people squirm more than the idea of a functional, happy sex worker it’s the frank discussion of disabled sexuality. And award-winning Australian director Catherine Scott has set out to demystify both in her new documentary, Scarlet Road: A Sex Worker’s Journey.

Enter your name then wait for it to load. Proceed with lolz.
I put in my name… and it was magic. MAGIC. I want everyone to see my video with my name in it. But put your name in instead. Even if you’re a dude.
This is hilarious.
I put the name Jim in, that somehow made it better, possibly because of the simplicity of Jim as a name. Also, can we...
