You know Dating Cis men has actually showed me something that makes me really mad. Yall are way to mean to guys, like regular guys. They are litterally so insecure and it makes me mad ok. i dont think we realise how much pressure they actually feel to be like ridicuously muscly in order to be attractive. We all keep saying that the beauty standards they are held to are “power fantasies” but i think just because its not what women actually find attractive about a guy doesnt mean that they dont feel like they have to meet that standard. not to mention there are lots of girls that do hold them to that standard.

i just think its absolutely crazy how mean we are to guys about their looks. and then theyre also made fun of for being insecure like all the time??? i see so many woke women tell men that they are ugly and worthless and then make jokes about men being insecure. like youre contributing to the problem?

i dunno its just heartbreaking when i tell a guy they are actually good looking and they dont beleive me. I think if we started complimenting and hyping up men more they might not always mistake it for flirting

“along the axis of gender, kyriarchy systemically privileges sufficiently ‘masculine’ men” and “individual people never fit perfectly into socially-constructed roles (and the role you’re assigned won’t save you from the consequences of deviating from what you’re told to be)”

genderkills:

To abolish gender does not mean to erase distinction and difference in expression and embodiment, it means to remove those differences from a coercive framework of self policing, and from a system that delineates material benefit based on arbitrary distinctions in those differences.

My gorgeous boyfriend is raising money for him to get top surgery as he has been waiting on the NHS waiting list for over 2 ½ years now. He is told it could be 3 years before he actually gets surgery but with going private it can be as little as four weeks waiting. Although, it is £6000. It would be greatly appreciated if you could donate something so he can start living his life. If you can’t donate, no worries, just sharing this would be great! Thank you so much ❤️

Actually I wasn’t born in the wrong body I was just born in my body and then it was up to me to decide what I want to do with that

A fucking men

exactly. im going to be a fucking men

you know what. That’s a solid argument. I need these kinds of statements when I go to thanksgiving dinners with conservatives.

We’re born in a body, and we should be allowed to do what we want with it. This argument works also with tattoos. “ You know thats permanent” YEAH. if I’m gonna live in it, I should be able to do what I want to it.

I always wish there was a place I can take my body in like a Skyrim mod to just change it whenever I want.

also. I’d be a fucking men.

I firmly believe that how feminist a book is is better demonstrated by its background characters rather than its mains

What I mean by this is that a book may have “feminist” female leads who are strong, competent, complex, whatever, but how do they portray women just…existing in the world? Are there women in the background, or is the fantasy novel with its strong independent Action Girl protagonists set on a background of generic male soldiers, guards, councilors, shopkeepers, messengers, and wizard apprentices? Are minor characters ever women when there’s no particular reason for them to be? When women appear in the background of your story, do they have any unique qualities that hint at a complex picture we’re not seeing or do they slide seamlessly into Pampered Noblewoman, Prostitute and Vaguely Maternal Older Woman Who Runs A Tavern Or Something?

If your protagonist is a fighter or magic user, do you show other women in those roles? If your society is more relaxed about sex discrimination, have you built a world that looks like it?

Have you built a world where your female characters don’t all have to be The Best At Everything, or is almost every female character placed where she can be extraordinary next to a bunch of male counterparts? Are you comfortable letting a female wizard or warrior be average or unimportant, or does she have to be one of the most skilled and powerful of them all, able to match or best all the men around her? On the other hand, are you comfortable having a female wizard or warrior be indisputably the most skilled or powerful out of the wizards or warriors, without drawing attention to her gender, placing her in competition with men, or having her be an exception to the rule because she’s female?

Are you letting your female characters be mediocre and un-extraordinary? Your world is full of powerful sorceresses, fierce battle maidens and calculating noblewomen, but do women do things in this world other than be Exemplary and Great and Awesome? If you’ve established that women do business and fight, do you have female soldiers carousing at bars and vaguely dull female Evil Minions Of The Dark Lord bumbling around doing evil bidding and female apprentices slacking on work or is every background woman we see competent and controlled and intelligent and doing whatever it is she’s doing without error, whereas only men are allowed to be foolish, impulsive, mess things up, or just be shown unflatteringly during the couple sentences we know them? In other words, does the world show women being unapologetically human beings or are all your female characters basically making up for being women by not doing anything that would badly represent their gender?

In particular, if you’re trying to show a society with gender equality, that means the dark lord is willing to hire women who are bumbling idiots as guards, and not just that some female wizards climbed their way to the top and became As Good As Men because they’re so badass they can snap god like a bunch of uncooked spaghetti.

[“If I have not already ruffled enough feathers, then let me start plucking: there is no such thing as butch flight. There are transsexual dudes who cheat themselves out of a full life for fear of being ostracized. There are butches who fear to live beyond male and female because dykes might assume they are guys. There are FtM-spectrum folk who have never been butch in their lives. And there are genderqueers who want nothing to do with our decades-old identity wars. But there is no butch flight.

There is, however, butch arrival: people who have tried other genders, most often femme and/or guy, who made the switch and joined the ranks.

So if more butches is what you want, I can get you butches.

Is your community short on butches? First, we need to remember economic class. Most of the butchless lesbian spaces I’ve seen, at least the ones strangely lacking harder butches, are also moneyed spaces. Butches, being gender-variant, tend to be broke.

Second, we need to help butches transition in. We must celebrate former femmes who want to dance the boi’s part. Like any dancer who switches roles, she’ll probably be more graceful than those who haven’t.

We also need to help MtF butches make the trip. Their roadblocks are (1) an underfunded, ageist, and rigorously heteronormative transgender medical system and (2) a lack of accessible radical gender education. You need to be a gender radical to grasp that it’s possible to transition into gender variance and come out as an unconventional kind of trans and/or woman, but most radical gender education is aimed only at those who already are out as trans and/or who the educators read as female. Why are there so many more flaming FtM dudes than butchy MtF women? Most of the trans-flamers started their critical feminist education among women who read them as gender-bending butches. And while they were included, this education did not welcome my untransitioned MtF sisters. So the swishy FtMs transitioned and most of the boyish MtFs assumed they couldn’t. But this is changing; every year, I see more MtFs in boy-drag, neckties, and mullets than ever before.

So what we do now is keep fighting gender-normativity in the medical system and orient feminist education to grasp that many “boys” are actually girls who are stuck in the closet. We do this, and the world will not only be a friendlier place for all genders, it will also have more butches. They’ll even be tall and stubbly if that’s what you’re into. And they won’t re-transition to male. Probably.”]

love the idea of an alien species that has no concept of gender, and whose culture is completely devoid of gender norms.

like yes they understand that different individuals have different reproductive systems, but that’s just a medical thing? They get confused at the concept of gendered pronouns, bc for what possible reason would their language need to constantly refer to an individual’s reproductive organs?

Oh, but alternately: sure, they have genders! They just… have nothing to do with the reproductive system whatsoever, and there aren’t just two of them. (Color? Shape of your scales? The possibilities are endless!) 

Gender is how many limbs you decide to grow! (They come from a species that can grow as many limbs as they like)

Gender is what color you dye your prehensile tendrils

There’s a scene in The Road to Bali (1952) where, instead of a conventionally attractive woman, an ugly woman is accidentally summoned from a basket by a magic flute. (I say ugly; she isn’t a thin white woman, and she’s wearing comedy eyebrows. I rather like her.) Even worse, she is somewhat sexually aggressive, clearly ready to go. This is, of course, our hero’s nightmare: a woman who treats him the way he treats women. How can this emasculating threat be neutralised? By making the Gorgon fuckable, of course: pretty, with a pouting, vaginal mouth – but lacerating tentacles. Ugly women are dangerous. Beautiful women are dangerous.

Reminder: it is called pro- CHOICE, not pro-DEFINITELY-GETTING-AN-ABORTION. it is about allowing women or couples to CHOOSE what happens with their own bodies. It is about the fact that maybe *you* would never get an abortion, but still not shaming the fact that other people might choose to have one. It is about the fact that *you* might get an abortion but not shaming other women about deciding to go through with the pregnancy even if they are young, unmarried, or not in a condition *you* would want to have a child in. It is about choice, and respect that we all have different opinions and morals.

Featuring as a guest on @nancypodcast live in Chicago this weekend at a really beautiful old school

Featuring as a guest on @nancypodcast live in Chicago this weekend at a really beautiful old school theatre (in my hometown) is definitely up there on my list of “favorite things about being an intersex educator & activist!” As the year wraps up, I’d like to remind everyone that no matter what they tell you – sex and gender are not mutually exclusive and they’re definitely NOT binary. Our society needs to keep chugging along towards understanding that everything is complex, and our bodies and genders are not exempt. Once society says goodbye to its current obsession with a binary way of viewing sex and gender (which has its roots the colonizer’s worldview that was forced upon Native Americans), then I believe we all take one giant step forward towards the collective liberation we all are fighting for (especially queer, trans, GNC, & intersex people). If you’d like to book me to speak, show my short documentary, consult your high school’s biology department, keynote, or give a workshop…please don’t hesitate to send me an email [email protected] (link in bio). I’m currently beginning to book 2018 dates as we speak, and would love to visit you wherever youre are. (P.S. In 2017 I manifested that I wanted make intersex awareness my full-time gig with a secondary goal of trying to speak at more medical colleges and hospitals. Thanks to Rush University, UIC College of Medicine and UW-Milwaukee’s School of Nursing I have begun to see the realization of that intention. In 2018, I want to manifest a few more things: 1. Speak and show my film to more clinicians/Nurses and medical students. 2. Build on the success of our small yet mighty group: Intersex People of Color for Justice (and collaborate on more actions and protests at Childrens’ Hospitals). 3. Begin to lay the groundwork necessary to purchase a home one day for my dog Callie and I Thank you for all your support, love, and guidance along the way! ▪️ beautiful photos cc: @loveandstrugglephotos •
