So in Spanish I have to write a page about who I am and what I’m like, and I want to briefly explain my gender so I can use masculine endings sometimes without getting marked down. There must be non-binary people out there who are native Spanish speakers — is there a Spanish word for “non-binary” or “genderqueer”? (Or maybe Spanish-speaking non-binary folks use a different construct? In which case I should probably just try to explain the construct I’m familiar with instead.)

Hey Tumblr!
My girlfriend lucky-lune is having trouble finding trashy lesbian romance in audiobook form. She’s looking through Audible with no luck. Any suggestions?

The Daily Show, flawless as usual, making fun of the kerfuffle surrounding the picture of the boy with the pink toenails in J-Crew.
“Well, it’s PS 32, I know it’s not a goy.”
I try to deflect with humor... it just doesn't work (TW: anti-trans slur)
- You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
- Stranger: hi
- You: hello!
- Stranger: m/f?
- You: somewhere between the two
- Stranger: a tranny?
- You: no, I'm not a transsexual woman. also, "tranny" is a slur.
- Stranger: im sorry. what are you then?
- You: I'm genderfluid. So some days I wear a bra and some days I wear a binder, depending on what's most comfortable that day.
- Stranger: hmm, do you have a dick?
- You: Good sir, I must protest! A gentleman's underthings are no one's but her own!
- Stranger: so, yes?
- You: It's interesting how everyone always assumes they know exactly what my genitalia are. And that it's any of their business.
- Stranger: well, why dont you just tell me
- You: I don't know, why do you care so much?
- Stranger: why wont you tell me?
- You: Same question.
- Stranger: hmm. i want to know because im curios
- You: At this point, you've gone beyond curiosity into demanding a virtual peek into my underwear. My body is no one's business but mine, my partner's and my doctor's
- Stranger: but i am i stranger, what harm could befall you if you just told me?
- You: What right do you have to know?
- Stranger: i honeslty have no right to know. but i wanted to ask
- You: You've already asked. Several times. And each time, I've said it's none of your business.
- Stranger: a little persistence never hurt
- You: Yes, actually. Yes it did. Dickweed.
- Stranger: you, are a very sensetive person
- You: Refusing to take no for an answer is refusing to respect my boundaries. You know who else refuses to respect boundaries? People who assault other people.
- Stranger: you are annoying.
- You: Oh, and you're not? What do you win if you pressure me into telling you? You make me feel less safe. You make it harder for me to live my life as genderfluid.
- Stranger: i couldnt possibly imagine befriending you in real life, you are bitchy
- You: Likewise, then :)
- Stranger: its like you purposly let me in on a secret and when my curiosity was peaked you slammed the door
- You: No. My genderfluidity is not a secret. It's who I am. My genitalia are just irrelevant to it, and also none of your business.
- Stranger: well, i disagree
- Your conversational partner has disconnected.
genderpivot
/ˈjendərˈpivət/ (noun):
a term i coined to describe the intersection of genderfluid and bigender identities in which one of the genders remains stagnant while the second gender fluctuates without a predestined path.
Oooooh. That sounds a little like me. I’m not sure it actually is me, but I like it.

Dan Savage is a bully, a hypocrite, and CERTAINLY not someone to be hailed as a hero.
Woah, when did he say that? I’m not denying he did, but, wtf? D:
That’s what he said about ace people. He’s also said a lot of shitty things about bisexuals (e.g. here) and trans* folks (some on that here and here) and others in the community. He’s also said a lot of racist shit (he repeatedly blamed POC for the passage of Prop 8 in California), he’s said fat shaming things, and when people asked him to stop using “retarded” in a derogatory way, he made a joke of it. So much for being against bullying.
He’s generally just a really shitty person, imo.
Finally, a post from the-unpopular-opinions that I actually agree with.
