Unpopular opinion time
I don’t give a rat’s arse about Glee.
My dash is constantly full of stuff about Glee which usually involves 29475673832856348378739473 gifs of x character’s face. Great.
I’m considering unfollowing queersecrets because it’s essentially becoming Glee-secrets and I don’t have a clue what they’re talking about. Yes, I’ve gotten through lots of deeply...

“Not much of a man, are you?”
– My partner’s father, a local sheriff, berated me at his dinner table for not knowing enough about vehicle maintenance. My lack of interest in cars does not define my identity. Made me feel alienated, marginalized, and intimidated. (via microaggressions)
This is how much I know about cars: my...

EVERY SINGLE TV SPECIAL/DOCUMENTARY ON TRANS KIDS
handgrenade2:
Awesome kids
Awesome parents
Really fucked up narration that misgenders them, portrays them the entirely wrong way, and teaches the audience that they are really whatever sex they were assigned at birth and that it’s acceptable to call a little trans girl “he”.
Cool.
Fuck you.
knobscene asked: I was creeping through your blog again and I unconsciously tried to re-follow you.
You are *that* quality.

Right now I’m taking a figure drawing class. Basically, we draw nude models. It should come as no surprise that some of the explanations of the figure are cissexist. But every day in that class I get thinking:
I really want to have a trans figure drawing class.
I would so be up for this. I’d really like to model for figure drawing, but I...

I think it’s bad when pills are different colours because then they look like sweets, you know like Smarties or something (you probably don’t have those where you live, but still)….
Smarties in the UK and Smarties in the USA are two different things, I just looked it up. Actually,...

you know, there's a reason there's a T in LGBT

lgbt rights =/= gay rights
especially if by “gay rights” you mean the rights of attractive gay white men that you “support” just for the sake of cooing over them like they’re panda bears.

if you’re talking about just LGB rights, don’t promote it as LGBT rights. if you’re not including the T, at least be honest about it.

and no “changing your mind” about an issue does not make you a hypocrite if you spoke against it before and now don’t feel that way, it means you used new information to draw new conclusions and if you find the right information there is a good chance that your view will be truer to your beliefs!
PERSONALLY, I find it pretty admirable when someone shifts their viewpoint...

omg you know what pisses me off?
041083:
I hate it when there is a gay couple on tv, and the narrators and stuff refer to them as “partners”,
but when there is a straight couple, they’re referred to as husband/wife or boyfriend/girlfriend.
like, why do gay people have to be referred to as “partners”? They’re not working on a fucking project for school.
Just because they’re homosexual doesn’t mean they should be referred to...

37. And Mana is a little older, although no one really knows how older o.o
Mana is in his 40’s. my best bet is around 45. I don’t remember how I concluded that but… lol.

Anonymous asked: Umm, I am a little confused by your post about identifying as English vs. British. Technically people who are citizens of England are refered to being 'English', not British. The term British is used for the collective citzens of the whole of the United Kingdom, and refers to the English, the Scots and the Welsh, and each of these and the minority groups within have various ways of...

My mum’s partner proposed to her a few days ago (she said yes) and she told me about it yesterday when I was at her house. When I went back to my dad’s today (I live with him at the moment) she came with me so that she could tell him. It did not exactly go down well and now he’s acting sulky and miserable and I feel pretty caught in the middle. I’m happy for my mum, and...
