I feel like this every time I leave the house. If I feel good about how I look, it disappears the second I see everyone else. I have gradually learned to just accept that everyone around me looks better than I do.

I hate tampons and prefer pads, there I said it. I fail at tampons, how ridiculous is that?

What dry shampoo do you use? Batiste is THE BEST. I also use Lush’s No Drought powder. Whether I’m using a spray or a loose powder, the key is it tousle the powder into the scalp with your fingers rather than brush it out. Just my two cents. My sister has thinner hair than me (we both get greasy on the daily) and…

Ugh my hair is soooo straight. Like, aggressively straight. Have you tried using dry shampoo? I find that it helps my hair at least achieve a bit of body if nothing else, and makes styling a bit easier.

I am from every continent in Africa except for one and I’m from every continent in Europe except for one...We are a melting pot of beauty

When asked to comment on how girl get pragnant, Mr. Mirror Balls was quoted as saying, “Duh, with chicken wangs on Hollowpeen!”

I got the impression is was a vegan/organic place.

Cmon, beets are tasty, nutritious, and as a bonus with the red ones you get to see what your poo would look like if you were bleeding internally!

My son’s on the autism spectrum. He’ll be turning 8 next month, and we’re not doing a party because I’m afraid this exact thing will happen to him. (We’re taking him to an amusement park instead)

Wouldn’t a better suggestion be a short email saying:

I banged a semi-famous photographer who, after fucking me for a long time (pretty decent), he said he wanted to “finish.” I’m like, “Cool, I’m good.” Dude goes to the bathroom, gets the mini bottle of conditioner, jerks of onto my pussy, stares at it for a 5-10 seconds, then goes and gets a *warm* towel and wipes me…

Made me cry because that is how I felt after one of my best friends suddenly died last year. After the funeral I sat on the couch in the apartment I shared with him and his wife and said out loud, "He isn't in that cemetery. He is at the doctor or someplace, and he's waiting for me to come pick him up. But I don't…

Let's not forget the point of women born women — you know what makes women's oppression so uniquely fucked? The fact we can give birth. Look at "breeders" in slavery, young rape victims becoming mothers. Being born a woman has a set of consequences totally removed from the trans experience and to say otherwise is to…

I know that some folks claim that these sorts of discussions from trans women are "rare" and a "minority of a minority". But I've been caught in the cross-fire of arguments like this from trans women in feminist spaces that welcome them here in my hometown. I've seen these arguments first hand. Like it or not, cis…

There is nothing radical or improper or blurry or slippery slopey about respecting women and girls, biological women and girls, having their own space.

Can't women have their own space based on biology then?

growing up in a female body does bring different experiences. All those little things that make life difficult for girls growing up bodily. They become part of you. Agree or not, whatever, but I don't think lollipops is against trans in any way, she just seems to be saying, why is it such a bad thing, as cis and trans…

You should see trans activism on tumblr. They derail every discussion about women's biology with arguments such as "not all women have vaginas/uteri" and "not all people who get pregnant identify as women". Now you have pro-choice blogs talking about "people with uteri" because trans activists act like "woman" is a…

Honestly, I think a lot of the pushback we see when it comes to including trans women and women-only spaces is that there is always that vocal group (are they a minority? I would hope so, but I don't know) that derails EVERYTHING. You can't say vagina. You can't talk about periods. Mentioning having two X chromosomes…

I'm not talking about the individual. Is the issue here that male-bodied people who transitioned in to a female life want access to events solely meant for female-bodied people who chose to live life as female? Because that's silly. Guess what? Having male anatomy at birth gives you a profoundly different set of…
