andurrs asked: "some people do actually take steps to become disabled" THAT IS SO. FUCKING. DEGRADING AND INSULTING TO PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY DISABLED.
Anonymous asked: As for transableism, some people do actually take steps to become disabled, so it's not that they'll never know what it's like. But what is transfat, aside from a pun about food content and transwomen? Is it a thin person who identifies as overweight? A person with severe dysmorphia who is underweight but feels overweight? What is that?
"Cisdisabled"....

So wait am I like cisfat.
I guess we would be cisfat… u_u I quit!
Can I be trans-patient so I don’t have to fight to urge to strangle people right now?
Anonymous asked: wait what does cisdisabled even mean?
"Cisdisabled"....
Um, what?
theowlintheolivetree:
Trans* fat, trans*ethnic, etc. folks? WHY? You are claiming a title without having to deal with the discrimination that comes with being a person of color, overweight or having a disability and you never have to which is a slap in the face. What compels you to do and say such asinine things? Do us all a favor and learn some respect because the people that must face...

Things I learned from TV.
dumbthingswhitepplsay:
All Asians look like John Cho.
Asians know everything. Seriously, everything. And they can probably fly in secret and they just don’t tell us.
If an Asian person tells you to do something, for the love of god, do it. NEVER cross them.
Black people are all hard. Every one. They’re hard as fuck. You can’t break them with a hammer.
Despite being really hard, black people...

imansultan asked: Last week, Bo Biden, the son of Joe Biden, came to talk at my school. In this talk, he referred to Libya as "France's backyard", affirmed that "drones were the future", and talked about the US intervening in Syria w/o ever mentioning whether or not the US had the RIGHT to interfere in Syria. I wondered why he was given a platform to speak. I have never wanted to tell a...

The goal is 1,000 signatures. Please sign and reblog, because we should not have someone who is an unrepentant sexist and rape apologist, who heaps praise upon men who threaten to beat and rape women, in an editorial position here.
DONE.
On it
Anonymous asked: I just wanted to say, I identify as a liberal, and I'm white. But I don't claim to know what it's like to be a victim of racism. I can speak about what I've faced being (biologically) a woman, being genderqueer, being pansexual and what I've faced because of those factors. But I would NEVER assume I know what racism is like. So this is me saying I'm sorry there are so...

“I hate books that make white people feel good about oppression, I really do.”
– Greg Proops, talking about “The Help” (via komboloi)
White people: I wear Native American war bonnets and face paint because I have a deep appreciation of Native American culture.
Native Americans: Hey, could you stop doing that? It's harmful to us.
White people: Nah, I respect your culture too much to listen to what you have to say about it.
Anonymous asked: So no bigotry of any kind will be tolerated on this blog, yet it's a blog made specifically to call out WHITE liberals? You are such a fucking hypocrite.

Go wish him a happy birthday here and here! I’m not sure how you found me, but I’m glad you did.
theowlintheolivetree:
“I incited violence (rape threats) and people were mean to me, you need to apologize because I’m the victim here.” No, you don’t get to be the martyr when you encouraged rape and feel no remorse about what you have said or who you have hurt.

Love is beautiful, and to say that some who love those of the same sex aren’t worth being treated with dignity is a major injustice to all of us. I thank those who ruled Proposition 8 unconstitutional.
