Patients Remember Dr. Tiller →
stfusexists:
Two years ago today, Dr. George Tiller, one of only three practitioners providing late term abortions in the US, was viciously gunned down in church in front of his wife and other parishioners who tried to stop the shooter. He was an incredible man, who never intended to carry on his father’s practice after his parents, brother, and sister-in-law were killed in an aircraft accident....

Update: 11 year old trans girl lost appeal →
transawareness:
The above article is an update. Her mother went to appeal to keep her out of the psychiatric ward and lost. She will be institutionalized because of her expression of her gender. She will be held until she conforms to male gender and then released to foster care, not her mother who was supporting her.
Please, if you haven’t signed the petition, sign it, reblog it, ask your...

Looking at the straight privilege checklist, there are a lot of these that heteroromantic asexuals don’t have (for example, 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9-12, 14-23, 25-26, 29), many of which marginalized groups like women still do. As a woman, I can have negative experiences...
So work has decided to block images, making tumblr much less entertaining :c

If you’re a social scientist please remember the statement, “the exception to the rule does not invalidate the rule.” Then repeat it anytime someone wants to argue statistics with their personal experience. Your friend’s parents are still married, but that doesn’t change divorce statistics.

I thought Tumblr was supposed to be the place where you could confess any of your damn problems and people would sympathize? Nope, when I try doing that people just fucking gang up on me. Just like every other fucking person in my life.

Alright.
My “LOL WELL I DRANK STAG BLOOD AND BECAME WHITE AND MALE” was sarcasm. Because… well… I’m still a black person.
And, actually, yes, many people have DONE SO. And the OP that started this whole thing DID SO. AGAIN. Like they did LAST TIME. Last time it was “omg women have to be pure and be saved for their husbands in this society or else they are...

I’m not gonna touch the asexual thing, but the atheist thing, WTF?!
Okay, so where I am being an atheist matters not one bit, but that isn’t the case for all of us. There was at one point laws ont he book in a certain state saying an atheist couldn’t run for office. A former President of the USA said I couldn’t be an American because I’m an...

The hard part about being asexual is when you tell people you don’t want to date any boys and they assume you’re a lesbian.

I think an important unifying factor is that both groups are heavily made up of nerds. And I really hate nerds. Scratch the surface of any nerdy dude and you will find oozing piles of resentment against women and queer people and especially against queer women.
So we’re all women when someone wants to talk about how asexuality is just normal female sexuality,...

It occurs to me why asexuals on tumblr annoy the fuck out of me. It’s because they remind me so much of the atheist community I used to be involved in. It was mostly middle class white guys and I was convinced atheism was the worst oppression to face, but then reality smacked me in the face, well mostly their own misogyny towards me and other women.
I know the...

Ignore you? But I thought you didn’t want to be erased?
I’m not really concerned about being erased by someone who’s demonstrated over and over again that she has no clear grasp of the concept of asexuality.

So, these “arguments” you’re talking about, they happen face-to-face, then? You’re not talking about anything that happens in writing on the Internet, ever?
Because what I meant was if we bother you, then ignore us.
