Due to a popular white cis feminist sex educator leaving tumblr

I have decided to give sex education and sex tips every Tuesday evening. My language will be casual and I use a lot of AAVE, but I will make sure to use scientific terms. The “advice” (more like discussion) will be queer and trans* friendly. I want to make sure that I center WOC and Fat WOC in my discussions, because a lot of issues regarding us gets left out or we’re invisible. I’m curious though, what do you guise want to discuss? I’ll try to be research on things I’m not an expert on (trans* issues and point folks to the proper sources). Anyhow, what do you want to see from this? 

YAY! This sounds awesome!

PSYCHED.

BOOOOOOST

Please don’t forget people with disabilities!

holyshit!!!

1000x better than “It Gets Better.”  Stop lying to kids, it doesn’t get better unless we make it better, and we can only make it better by utterly destroying heteropatriarchy.

*destroying racist ableist (all the -ists) heteropatriarchy (kyriarchy?)

Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes

THANK YOU. “It Gets Better” was a well-intended but incredibly problematic campaign. It will NOT “get better” until we MAKE IT better.

Oh my god, I love this so much.

Raven-Symoné has apparently been outed. People should be aware that outing is never okay. It’s an ugly, horrid, vile practice, and there’s no excuse for it. If she is gay, she deserves all the support in the world. News outlets have no right to write a ton of stories speculating about it and using her sexuality to increase readership. And quite frankly, paying attention to all these stories just gives support to the news outlets that think outing people is okay.

I’m so tired of seeing the “it gets better” montages

sourcedumal:

Because what the hell is being done to MAKE it better?

Telling somebody who is LGBTQIA that “Oh hey, your bullying sucks…. But it’ll get better in the end…” Aint. Doing. SHIT. to make their lives better.

What POLICIES are being put in place to make sure that shit ain’t happening?

Are teachers who ignore bullying being FIRED for their ineptitude? NO. Then you ain’t shit.

Are students who bully being EXPELLED for their bullshit? No? Then you ain’t doing shit.

Are there any sort of counseling sessions being put in place for the mental health of these bullied individuals? No? Then you ain’t doing SHIT.

Are you personally stepping the fuck up and telling the bullies to back the fuck off on a regular basis? No? Then you ain’t doing SHIT.

Cis, hetero folks, we need to get our shit together and MAKE SHIT HAPPEN. Fuck talking about it. BE about it. Meaning that you got to get in peoples faces, make some noise. Because our silence is KILLING people. Our ineptitude is KILLING people.

that thing where a white queer person uses like 6 things to self-identify and totally leaves out the fact that they are white

a-bayani:

feral-femme:

so-treu:

readnfight:

feral-femme:

“queer working class fat poly femme”
“trans queer middle class vegan punk”
“kinky, poor, young, dyke”

YOU’RE ALL WHITE

WHY DO YOU THINK IT’S NOT OKAY TO IDENTIFY YOUR WHITENESS?

Being kinky or vegan is not what people see when they decide whether or not to, say, follow you around the store where they work, but being white is. I can’t get into people giving me a laundry list of ways they’re oppressed where 1. half are phony, e.g. vegan, and 2. no one wants to talk about race (anarchists, I’m looking at y’all).

and i’m real in my feelings right now about those same white folks then using their marginalized identities to uphold white supremacy.

yes.

every time that we sit around and talk about queerness and white queers do not talk about race and expect me to bond with them over instances of a queer experience, you are erasing so many parts of my experience as a person of color under some guise of “sameness”

every time a white queer or trans person talks about their interactions being harassed/afraid/whatever in public and attribute it only to being queer and/or trans, they are ignoring the ways white supremacy interacted with the situation

every time i am identified as “a queer” by queer white people and they think that is something i should celebrate and identify with on its own, they are erasing my brownness and ignoring their whiteness and effectively perpetuating white supremacy 

every time a space is labeled a “queer space” and is full of white people who talk so much about queerness and never whiteness, that is a white supremacist space

Because institutionalization is always, always better for a child than being raised by her loving mother.

Guys, please read and sign.  An 11-year-old trans* girl is being institutionalized because her father does not support her gender identity.

Recently got my foreskin pierced and am well pleased with the results! It’s been two weeks and so I return to my liberal self-lovin’.
You can’t see really well, but I have the vestiges of some battle scars, both external and internal. Even the scars themselves used to cause shame, but it’s getting better all the time, as the Beatles would say.

That piercing looks so cool. I don’t think I have the imaginary balls to get it done.
