a moment of silence for all of the women who pursued an education in the sciences and were mansplained and condescended to so much that they left and were then used as justifications for why women are “just” “naturally” “bad at this stuff”
You poor ladies have all my hugs and cookies. :(

Tumblr: “No one can define your sexuality but you!!”
Celebrity: “I’m straight”
Tumblr: “Nope, gay!”

White transpeople need to care about racism and cultural ignorance because the arbitrary gender roles that have been embedded into western society are a direct result of white colonialism and the disregard for other cultures ideas about gender and sexuality.
This x10000.

In case the last post wasn’t clear? If you call yourself an ally because you like slash, or if you’re only an ally so your OTPs can become canon, I probably hate you.

Look, you can ship m/m ships in your respectful fandoms as much as you want, we all do it, because it’s fun. The point we’re trying to make is: do not pretend you’re doing anything for our actual rights (you know, those of actual human beings) by doing so, because you don’t. Shipping fictional same sex ships (or RPS) doesn’t magically turn you into an ally. There’s a little more...

And I felt like, since Hermione was smart, she couldn’t be “(conventionally) pretty”. She had to be dorky looking and weird, and it was never implied that she...

“by interfering with the masculinization of the brain, gay genes might promote feminine behavior traits, making men who carry them kinder, gentler, more nurturing - less aggressive and psychopathic than the typical male -. In fact, such men may be more likely to help raise children rather than kill them”

latinegrasexologist:
A question I received and responded to in private. Making this rebloggable so that folks can see what my response is but more importantly for trans* Latin@s to share the resources they find useful.
hi! yes there are some publications that may be useful. PFLAG has two in Spanish that may be useful one called Si Tu Mismo (link opens to PDF) and Nuestros hijas y hijos...
Seriously I’ve seen some great quotes about sexism on here but can we PLEASE start acknowledging trans*people? Like, would SOCIETY ACTUALLY COLLAPSE if we admitted that fact?
Probably.

littlemisslucifer asked: I feel like if the * got put after gender instead of trans it'd seem like it was saying that it was also referring to transracial and transabled and that shit which is obviously just ewwww
annoyingliberalgirl asked: Hi! I want to blog about transgender issues (usually reblogs from blogs like this one) but I don't want to be offensive with my terminology. Why do people put an asterisk after trans? If I type transgender, do I have to put an asterisk after that too? Thank you!

it makes me really uncomfortable when queer people call straight people “breeders” because
1. it’s almost always gay men whom I see using it and the way they reduce women to their reproductive capabilities is a little skin-crawling
