“She wasn’t as cissexist as Mary Daly though”
“Must you hate all white people everywhere?”
“You know, her essay Compulsory Heterosexuality is still pretty valid today, plz don’t even try to deny it”.

“trans hatred”. tell it like it is
genderbitch:
A replacement word for cissexism? I’m not even sure if hate works as a description. Cis people don’t just hate.
They literally mark us as a direct threat to their universe worth destroying. Like, torturing into suicide, forcing out of society, denying all medical care (even the standard shit). And...
Someone should probably make that rebloggable

I can’t help but think, with all the fucked up stuff going on in the world every day, is this really what their time is best used for? Defending their right to speak?
It just makes me sad and angry.

Oh hey, my queue ran out.
Probably a few days ago. I am so observant. I’ll try to fill that back up some tomorrow. Or maybe tonight. But probably not. Anxious to get through the first Mass Effect… I am so ready to be done with you, Mako. XP

This piece is worth reading in full:
””My climate epiphany wasn’t overnight, and it had nothing to do with Al Gore.”
I’m going to tell you something that my Republican friends are loath to admit out loud: climate change is real. I’m a moderate Republican, fiscally conservative; a fan of small government, accountability, self-empowerment and sound science. I am not a climate...

The Two Sides of the Health Care Argument:
"Liberals": Obviously the states have been doing a shit job of providing health care for their uninsured, poor, and dying citizens who can't get it from asshole corporations. So the Federal government should do it instead like with civil liberties, roads, Medicare, and the military.
Republicans: Well fuck the poor because FREEDOM.

“42% of American children live in low-income homes and about a fifth live in poverty. It gets worse. The number of children living in poverty has risen 33% since 2000… And, according to a 2007 Unicef report on child poverty, the U.S. ranked last among 24 wealthy countries. This is a national disgrace.”

Dear Cis Allies: I appreciate the support, really. I appreciate the outcry and rallying to petitioning for fairness and equality. But once this hot issue of the day has passed, will you remain a fucking ally? Not all all trans* people are beauty pageant contestants. Not all trans* people have or ever will transition. Not all trans* people “pass” as cis...
What is Trans* Repro Justice?
sugaredvenom:
transreprojustice:
A lot of people when they hear the terms “prochoice”, “reproductive rights” or even “reproductive justice” only think of abortion, but this view is myopic in my opinion. “Reproducing” encompasses many things which includes the right to choose to have children (or give birth and choose adoption), to choose to not have children right now, and to choose...

Cis women are not being targeted by the anti-choice, anti-reproductive rights lobby.
For cis women to be targeted by the anti-choice lobby, they would have to allow that non-cis men, non-men and non-cis women exist.
And. they. do. not.
