people acting like diversity is inherently a political statement or sjw bullshit are so fucking stupid like… thats just how the world is. its almost like the real world is diverse and that its unnatural for media to not reflect this… like these people literally get mad about female protagonists, gay protagonists or protagonists of color bc its “political correctness gone too far” like idk how to explain to you that poc, lgbt people and women existing isnt political correctness its just life dude

bi-and-monogamous:

“Bisexuality is a whole, fluid identity. Do not assume that bisexuality is binary or duogamous in nature: that we have “two” sides or that we must be involved simultaneously with both genders to be fulfilled human beings. In fact, don’t assume that there are only two genders. Do not mistake our fluidity for confusion, irresponsibility, or an inability to commit. Do not equate promiscuity, infidelity, or unsafe sexual behavior with bisexuality. Those are human traits that cross all sexual orientations. Nothing should be assumed about anyone’s sexuality, including your own.”

(From the 1990 Bisexual Manifesto, Bay Area Bisexual Network, “Anything That Moves”)

“In fact, don’t assume that there are only two genders.” -From the 1990 Bisexual Manifesto 

So maybe people can stop saying bisexuality’s inclusion of nonbinary folk is ‘new’. Signed, a bi nonbinary person. 

bi has always meant what people invented pan to mean and the fact that the word pansexual exists is just a testament to how ill informed people are about lgbt history and culture.

Stunning photos from Vogue of traditional Mexican women equestrian riders in the sport of Escaramuza (rodeo sport). Article by Mariel Cruz, Photos by Devin Doyle. 

Last year, photographer Devin Doyle, who’d spent two years photographing high school rodeo culture in the United States, became curious as to what the Mexican equivalent might look like. After all, he says, “It’s the same land, the same ranching culture.” What he found was an exciting competitive equestrian sport performed by women dressed in stunning traditional costumes, a sport directly inspired by the Adelitas—the female soldiers who fought in the Mexican Revolution.

Escaramuza, an event within the larger rodeo-like sport known as charrería (now recognized as Mexico’s national sport) is comprised of teams of up to 16 women (though only eight can compete at a time) performing a series of routines inside a lienzo charro, or stadium, at breakneck galloping speeds—all while riding sidesaddle.

evillfemme lied about what happened.

cishetsbeingcishet:

tm not going to name names or urls because these people have been attacked enough, but after making posts about the incident (evillfemme is a terf who says she was attacked by trans people at an lgbt bar) one of the people involved contacted me privately. not only did evillfemme leave out a lot of what happened that night but she also straight up lied.

the people involved were a cis lesbian, her nonbinary partner, their trans man friend, and evillfemme. evillfemme was drunk at the time, but the other three had not been drinking. it all started when the trans man approached evillfemme, asking her why she was there and saying that he was uncomfortable with her there. she got in his face, like a few inches away, and said “why, because i know youre female? female, female, female.” this greatly upset the trans man and he went outside in order to calm down, with the nonbinary person following him to make sure he was okay. the cis lesbian and a drag queen who was doing a show at the bar when this happened informed the bartender of what happened and evillfemme was asked to leave. 

she went outside, followed by the cis lesbian in order to make sure she didnt say anything else to her partner or her friend. evillfemme went across the street and started shouting transphobic slurs across the road (including tr*nny) and also shouted the trans man’s and nonbinary person’s deadnames many times. the trans man ran across the street in response, but the cis lesbian got in between them before anything happened.

it was at this point, while the cis lesbian was keeping them separated, that evillfemme swung her fist and hit the cis lesbian in the face. the cis lesbian grabbed her and began hitting back, while her nonbinary partner tried to stop the fight. the fight was broken up after about a minute. evillfemme was permanently banned from the bar.

the person who contacted me told me them tweeting about what happened was extremely stupid and they have all since shut down all or almost all social media.

evillfemme lied and said that she was attacked by trans people, mainly the nonbinary person, when in reality the only person who hit her was a cis lesbian.

as you all know, evillfemme’s post has gone viral. the nonbinary person’s deadname and personal information was leaked and spread. they were fired from their job after hundreds of terfs and terf supporters called their place of work. them and their partner (the cis lesbian) have received numerous threats in phone calls and messages.

a summary/key points:

evillfemme was not attacked by trans people. the only person who hit her was a cis lesbian.

evillfemme was not attacked because she misgendered a trans man. she threw a punch at someone and the person retaliated.

why do black people use you in the wrong context? such is “you ugly” instead of “you’re ugly” I know u guys can differentiate, it’s a nuisance

It’s called copula deletion, or zero copula. Many languages and dialects, including Ancient Greek and Russian, delete the copula (the verb to be) when the context is obvious.

So an utterance like “you a bitch” in AAVE is not an example of a misused you, but an example of a sentence that deletes the copular verb (are), which is a perfectly valid thing to do in that dialect, just as deleting an /r/ after a vowel is a perfectly valid thing to do in an upper-class British dialect.

What’s more, it’s been shown that copula deletion occurs in AAVE exactly in those contexts where copula contraction occurs in so-called “Standard American English.” That is, the basic sentence “You are great” can become “You’re great” in SAE and “You great” in AAVE, but “I know who you are” cannot become “I know who you’re” in SAE, and according to reports, neither can you get “I know who you” in AAVE.

In other words, AAVE is a set of grammatical rules just as complex and systematic as SAE, and the widespread belief that it is not is nothing more than yet another manifestation of deeply internalized racism.

This is the most intellectual drag I’ve ever read.

Women shouldn’t be allowed to practice urology then.

Only therapists with mental illnesses can help with mental illnesses you guys

Tbh I’m super uncomfy with male gynecologists because it’s just weird for me to have another man beside my boyfriend knowing how I look down there but so many women around me prefer them because they tend to be way more gentle than female gynecologists.

Of course there are horrible ones (though it seems here less than in the US) but if we go by that we should never trust any doctors ever

It’s kind of like: when I got to see therapists and councilors, I prefer women, and a lot of people prefer people of their same gender as well. BUT some people prefer a therapist as the OPPOSITE gender, I’m purpose. Doesn’t mean we should have laws about it.

Also, restricting jobs that one is or is not legally allowed to do based on gender? Sounds familiar.

Yeah I’ve heard a lot of women prefer a male gyno because for whatever reason female gynecologists are rough?

Its almost as if shitty people can exist in any gender and understanding and honesty can be traits people of all genders can have too.
