Having a Sudden Clarity Clarence moment here: my super-conservative rosary-club-founding high school friend from my days as a hardcore Catholic — the one who trashed me when I got outed a few years later, called me a monster and then made me switch my entire class schedule so she wouldn't be subjected to classroom…

It ... looks like jeweled sperm are creeping up her arm. I am so sorry. She's GORGEOUS though.

I LOVE IT. definitely ordering a few when i get home from work tonight.

You are magic.

Good points. I think, perhaps because it is so grating, "ze"/"hir" (the latter of which, you're right, is SUPER confusing in spoken conversation) also has an othering effect. "They" works pretty well in my experience as a bartender who likes talking about my partner but doesn't always like gendering him to random bar…

"defuse the tyranny of the gender binary" — I want that on a shirt. In grungey home-painted lettering.

The singular they/them was good enough for Jane Austen so it's good enough for me. "It" is a poopy way to refer to a person and reinforces the othering a lot of non-gender-binary or non-gender-normative feel on a daily basis. "Ze"/"hir" never seems to catch on, no matter how hard we try. I wish there were a more…

did anyone else catch the part about FOUR VAGINAS? and how THAT is the reason this dude is so pro my body hair? christ, i have enough trouble getting reduced to being one set of walking genitals; i do not need some dude telling me that i am only worthwhile because i have four of them that he can fantasize about. brb,…

i am 300% done with the phrase "date rape". drop the qualifiers. don't soften it. it's rape.

hey thread people you are amazing. today i'm in the middle of a lot of forgiveness work surrounding my own past rape, and it's the self-forgiveness that i'm finding the most challenging (along with the knowledge of how fucked-up that fact is). i'm humbled and inspired. just ... big love, peeps.

your comment is interesting and i don't think that i really disagree with it. however, to take another tack on a point: i think you're pretty right that, for a majority of harassment behavior (which does not involve specific threats of violence et cetera or things against which legal action can be clearly taken), we…

oh my god your orgasms are different sizes and shapes too? i mean, i'm not going to say that i thought i was weird, or alone in my experiences, but in all my sex convos (i have a lot of them; they are my favorites) i have never heard/read another person describe orgasms that way.
