If you don’t think trans women are real women, then unfollow this blog right now. Get the fuck out of here and don’t come back. Transmisogyny is something I cannot and will not tolerate.

I’m so happy to see this and I fully support them. I stopped doing yoga — as much as it was benefitting me physically — because it started feeling really disrespectful to just be using it for exercise when I knew it was part of a...

this isn’t funny…was it meant to be funny? i got the implication it was meant to be sweet or adorable that this kid loves their mum so much.
i think novembernegro may be addressing whoever posted or whoever may use this to post as a joke (which we know some people love to laugh at Black/brown children)

but I’m fucking tired of hearing shit like “every man’s dream is [something about heteronormative ideals of cisgendered women’s beauty]”
or
“if you want to impress your woman, do [something gender normative for cisgendered men that relates to heteronormative standards of attractiveness]”
because for real, some of us exist VISIBLY outside of those standards & are fucking...

I am not a pacifist
Fuck that cliché that to react with violence makes one as bad as the perpetrator.
I will kill the rapists.
I will bash in the skulls of every perpetrator of domestic violence.
I will rip out the tongues of bullies and shamers, racists and trans*phobes, misogynists and homophobes, I have no pity for their hateful ignorance.
I will give back every fucking measure of violence 100 times over.

The Case for Self-Defense
peopleofcolor:
What we have seen with the Trayvon Martin case is a community watchman who is socially white (his actual race is half Hispanic) shoot an unarmed black teen, the police not arrest him and the federal government not step in to even consult on the case until there were hundreds of protests and millions of people calling for justice. All the while this was going on the same police who...
