I fucking hope to god that this transethnic, transfat, transabled, appropriative shit doesn’t really take off.
I’ll be so fucking pissed if I am talking about trans issues and feel like I have to clarify that I mean transgender.
Me: “yeah yeah trans stuff..”
Somebody: “trans… gender, ethnic, fat??”

Heterosexual couples swap clothes and poses. →
matociquala:
Kind of totally awesome in a deconstructive sort of way.
It’s so interesting to me that I look at these photos and, in almost all the swaps except the first, see women dressed normally but men dressed in drag. Interesting and frustrating, really, to be made aware of that — that, for me, to see a woman in drag means to see her in a tailored 3-piece suit, or military...

According to this, yes.
(I have never in my life rinsed rice of any kind.)
you’re supposed to wash rice? i was probably told to do this, but I don’t think i ever did. also, i can’t cook rice without a rice cooker and i prefer rice on the mushy side, so my turn to make rice never came up that often.
Haha, I was taught to wash rice. Not...

Go to your GP and express an interest in starting hormonal birth control. Request the pill, patch, shot etc. They will perhaps ask some brief questions about your sex life, advising you to still use condoms if sleeping with various people, and then will take your height, weight and blood pressure. They may check a family or personal history of illness. You...

All I Have to Say About Jenny Hyun
This woman published a sequence of tweets calling for the genocide of black people.
In Canada, advocating genocide is considered hate speech, which is indictable under our criminal code, and invites prison terms of two to fourteen years.
So far as I’m concerned Jenny Hyun is a criminal.
If you don’t think advocating genocide is a criminal act, the word “monster” is too...

The history of the "Two Wolves/Two Dogs" story.

alunasa:
I have been receiving many messages questioning my statement that the “Two Wolves” story is not Cherokee, nor is it Native American/First Nations in origin. In response to my credibility being questioned, I have done some fairly extensive research that will conclusively prove that this story does not originate from any Native American legend.
This story seems to have...

Saying that you love your vulva and vagina is not inherently cissexist.

This is annoying” is still following me, I just have to ask: are you seriously imagining a scenario where a white person sits with people of colour, looks over at a group of people of colour, and says “man, how come people of colour always sit together,”...
