tigerpixie:
When people say that bisexual people just don’t want to “decide” which gender they prefer, or they just don’t want to admit to being full on gay. I’ve known about my bisexuality since my late childhood. Of course, back then you couldn’t have tortured it out of me (conservative town, judgmental people blah blah) I’ve always been sexually attracted to men and women.
Also, when...

Guardian: Girls will be boys in Afghanistan →
…
The pretence stops at puberty, when the bacha posh is overnight forced to become a girl again. The world of boundless male freedoms is thus replaced with the invisible chains that mark an Afghan woman’s life.
The hardest part of this sudden boy-to-girl transformation is the behavioural change it requires. Having learned to face the world with an Afghan boy’s direct gaze, she is suddenly...

Why does this quote make me feel so icky?
(via sexistappeal)
Because Kathleen Hanna makes trans* people sound like an identity a few folks created yesterday. (via tranquality)

Dear academics,
WHY THE FUCK DO YOU NEED TO WRITE ‘MEN AND WOMEN’ WHEN ‘PEOPLE’ WOULD MAKE FAR MORE SENSE?
I appreciate that this current book was written in the 80s, but on a typewriter/keyboard writing ‘people’ takes seven less keys, and by hand quite a few less penstrokes. WHAT IS THE POINT.
No love,
Voice.
This! I have ALWAYS wondered about this and find myself doing...

Oh my stars! Lesbians vs. Bi's this needs to stop!
yeyesthoughts:
Just because a girl is bi does not mean that she is slutty and will cheat on you. Cheaters cheat. I am a bi sexual and I find all of this quite offensive. Yes there are people out there who are “fashionably bi” and “bi curious” just make sure before you start dating someone that they are the real deal. I mean c’mon now we live in a heterosexual society, anyone who isn’t straight...

Why do some people feel that it is their right to pick out who is a “real” bisexual and who is giving the bisexual community a bad name?
I am tired of this whole “Real” bisexual vs. “Fake” bisexual nonsense. If a person identifies as bi, is it truly that difficult to believe them? Must you scrutinize and pick apart their...

cassket:
Results from a groundbreaking American study on gay-straight alliances (GSAs) have confirmed what Canadian students fighting for GSAs have been saying all along: clubs that provide support for queer youth help prevent depression, victimization, substance abuse and suicide. A school with a GSA has a lower drop-out rate and produces students who are more likely to attend college or...

Listen.
I’m not sure if it’s the fact that I’m in college now, and I’m able to be more open and involved in the LGBT community.
I’m not sure if it’s because a few hateful and ignorant comments in recent months have sent me over the edge.
I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve always felt this way, and I’ve just now gained the courage and words...

Jacques St. Pierre, the student council president at a Toronto school, recently organized an anti-bullying assembly and contacted celebrities to participate.
Who responded? Lady Gaga, of course.

-burythepast:
when white, cisgender, heterosexual men who have never read a single piece of feminist literature think they have the authority to tell women that what we perceive to be sexism is nothing more than us ‘being dramatic’ or ‘over-analyzing things.’
fuck you.
in some circles this is humorously referred to as “mansplaining”
