I'm also disabled!

Not really. http://hpq.sagepub.com/content/13/1/1…

it's been a lot easier for me to eat healthy and exercise when I stopped thinking about that stuff as punishment for having the "wrong" body. I feel the same way about childhood obesity — emphasis on body type doesn't do much good because there isn't a great standard, especially when kids are prone to gaining a bunch…

I think this article overlooks how empowering it is to see faces that look like yours when you're not in the majority for media representation. A tumblr I follow sometimes has a 'bomb the latina tag' hour, where it encourages followers to blog selfies and tag them 'latina' to combat the fact that it's mostly porn on…

Is bisexuality really that difficult for people.

that's something they should ask about /during/ the transaction, not send the cops after her.

My parents never really like, explicitly taught me stuff like cooking and laundry, but they did teach me how to read and follow directions, so I came to college better prepared than about a quarter of my class who had also never washed their dishes by hand. Not knowing how to do stuff makes sense to me, but the lack…

what is this comment.

dudes outnumber women in the fashion industry.

uh so my college put motion detector lights in all the restrooms because people were hiding in the dark ones to assault people. this is something i assumed only got sent around in chain emails telling women not to wear ponytails because a rapist will grab it while you're jogging or whatever (20 safety tips for young…

The majority of rapes are acquaintance rapes, ie coworkers, friends, associates, family members, people you know and could see everyday.

I see Qream in the liquor store by my house every time I'm there and whyyyy.

At least Amazon Ashley has been able to capitalize some on being Miley's token friend.

totally missed your last sentence, sorry!

Thanks for sharing that — I really don't know much about Leavenworth or its conditions.

just fyi, no prisoners have gotten genital reassignment surgery while in prison, and not all trans* folks deem it necessary. but there have been cases won where prisoners' rights to hormone replacement therapy while in jail (not military jail though).

1) science is not an infallible area of study untouched by sexism and other prejudices. even sex is more of a spectrum than we normally consider it, with intersex folks being a pretty prominent example.

i literally said "it might not be ill-will but it is lazy journalism," so i don't know how else to say that i don't think these journalists are necessarily anti-trans*?????? my whole argument is that not being malicious in your intent doesn't mean you're not still fucking up and being a lazy journalist, and you…

uh cnn and usa today etc are not relying on page clicks to make the money. call outs like this help ensure that not fucking up becomes more important than being the first person with a totally non-exclusive, non-scoop story.
