Just a friendly reminder
vikkiage:
I am not a woman.
Don’t “count” me as one in your head, don’t “count” me as one in your generalizations, etc.
I am not a woman.
Same here.

If you describe pansexuality as “Liking girls, boys, and transgender people” without specifying if you mean exclusively non-binary trans people, you are doing something seriously wrong. Fuck off, Autumn
I make it a point to say men, women, androgynous folks, third-gender, agender, bigender, and binary trans* folks. It confuses...

Disturbing Realisations
Sometimes I want lesbian sex, sometimes I want gay sex, sometimes I want queer sex. How the hell am I supposed to do all that? Self you make no sense.

You know, I don’t think we need to answer the larger questions about process, accountability, and reform before we decide whether or not anyone with a history of abuse should be given a platform in feminist spaces. Intimate abuse is misogynist. Feminism should privilege women who have suffered horrendous abuse. Feminism should not...

Free market solutions
alexandraerin:
Any time someone says that a problem would be solved if we would just step back and let the market work, you should answer them with a bulldozer.
So many people have been foreclosed on that banks in the U.S. have taken to razing vacant propeties by the thousands rather than keeping them on the market and paying to maintain them. I was going to link to an article backing this up,...

Please help with my transition. →

kiriamaya:
As mentioned earlier, I’m having to make some big sacrifices to save up for transition. I’m willing to make those sacrifices. I am also trying to get my business crap underway, and will see if I can get more regular work as well. I’m going to get SRS if it kills me. I’ve got to. My current state isn’t going to be tolerable for much longer.
Please help if you can, either...
