While my feelings on this topic aren’t as intense as yours (no shade), I agree with the sentiment.

“...I don’t see a loving, inviting environment when I see the trans community. I just see men who became women and now want to define what a woman is...”

I don’t see the connection between white vs black feminists and trans vs cis gendered women. As a person of color I have no choice, I don’t have the privilege of saying I feel like I should’ve been white and undergo surgery. Once you’re black you’re always black. Taking something changeable and comparing it to…

I agree with Chimamanda. I don’t feel she should be demeaned for stating the truth in a very elegant manner. She didn’t say she doesn’t support people being who they are or want to be however, there is a difference between being born a woman and transitioning into one.

I feel fairly conflicted about all of this. On the one hand I recognise that in the world that I live in (a large and cosmopolitan metropolis in the western world) there is no such thing as the ‘universal woman.’ we have the intersections of race, sex, disability, class. We have woman born in to such wealth that very…

It seems a little counterproductive here to say that defining trans women by their oppression empowers the patriarchy, and that we shouldn’t be playing Oppression Olympics — but then to cite the (completely valid) ways in which trans women have things more difficult than cis women.

Because he has been allowed to.

More of that right wing cherry pick.

Anything they DON’T like - meant to be banned. Anything they DO like - was somehow implied out of thin air.

Also, just I love how for a devout ultra conservative Catholic the fact that they didn’t say *anything* about abortions means that they prohibited them for all eternity.

Let’s not forget his role in appointing George W President in 2000.

Good thing that social media doesn’t decide innocence or guilt. RATIONAL people are upset because he didn’t get a fair trial.

He has significant cognitive impairments which likely affected his fine motor skills, including his handwriting.

I reply to unsolicited dick pics with pics of Dick Cheney

My friend does this, with pics other guys have sent her. They freak out it’s hilarious. And she’s always like,”yea that’s how i felt when you sent it.”

Hopefully most of them will confront their partners and not take it out on her. But sadly many women will take it out on everyone else except their man. I’d be done with my man so fast after something like that.

Or with a hairy male asshole. I’d do that. A gaping male asshole. That would totally gross out a straight dude enough to lose his boner for a few hours.

I hope I’m wrong but I’m guessing she receives her fair share of slut shaming from the wives and girlfriends (‘why don’t you cover up then?’ ‘Or maybe don’t dress like a stripper or porn star!’ Etc). I doubt all recipients respond this way but I can imagine many would lash out in embarrassment or hurt or shock (at…

That only works until they start demanding more shit pics

A post has been making the Facebook rounds about a woman who sends pictures of her shits to guys who send her dick pics.

Someone on here recently suggested I reply to dick pics with dick pics found on the Internet. I’m dying to try this.
