graft versus host: Parrot Talk →
graftversushost: Two phrases I have seen parroted endlessly over the years by defensive people are “Oppression Olympics” and “identity policing.” It’s not terribly surprising that they have been trumpeted out by polysciwhatever during the backlash to her homophobic “sexual privilege” checklist. As far as I could…

Let's talk about a little thing called etymology.
feministilicious: “The simple fact is: “Homophobia” is not an accurate term to describe people who are prejudiced against queer people. It is appropriative (taking something from an oppressed group and erasing the meaning) of people with actual phobias. The term ”heterosexist” is more accurate because while homophobia is supposedly the fear of gay people, heterosexist is more inclusive of...

“WHY are you Atheist?”
– An everyday question - it’s rare to hear someone asked “Why are you Christian?” or “Why are you Jewish?” but it’s common for atheists to be asked to explain or justify their beliefs. (via microaggressions) why is this a microaggression, and why are you comparing the treatment atheists get to...

To-Do List for Asexual Activists

graft versus host: The lump in my throat. →

I’ll just focus on trans women in this post. For me, and I’m going to take a safe guess that for vast majority of trans women… for all you tumblr sjws out there, please read this and take careful...

a new kinda rough: You know what really sucks? →
thefloatingopera: When you, as a person of white privilege, attempt to work on your internalized racism by making a decision that confronts it, only to have someone reinforce a racist stereotype. This “bad-feminist” anecdote will, I’m sure, piss people off, but I’ve tried to phrase it in the most honest and… thanks for sharing your racism with the world! it’s so heartening to see...
