It’s ok to hate your mom, it’s ok to not know quite how to feel about your mom, and it’s ok to love her but feel like you should hate her (and vice versa). Some of us haven’t exactly had great experiences with their parents. Some of us have to deal…
1 Write.
2 Put one word after another. Find the right word, put it down.
3 Finish what you’re writing. Whatever you have to do to finish it, finish it.
4 Put it aside. Read it pretending you’ve never read it before. Show it to friends whose opinion you…

do you ever stop and realize that people probably discuss you from time to time when you arent around to witness it
not even in a specifically positive or negative way just like
people mention you, or think of you, you occur to people sometimes
thats the most unnerving thing that i can think of, thats so weird, that i exist to people when im not even interacting with them

These photos are from Leslie Feinberg’s visit with CeCe last night.
;-;
In tears.
Oh CeCe, you are such a beautiful person.
FREE CECE!!!!!!
I see these photos on my dash a lot and they always get me, because even in her prison uniform, even behind that thick pane of bulletproof glass, her spirit just blasts through like a floodlight.
This is a woman who was forced to take a plea deal for defending herself in a life-or-death situation - and I mean there’s so much I could say about that, and how so many people would prefer that she had not survived so they could victim-blame about “well why didn’t she defend herself” because that’s what happens when a woman is attacked and/or killed but the instant a woman (especially a woman of colour, and especially a trans woman) stands up for herself and saves her own life she MUST be a psycho bitch - but in surviving she’s been locked up, vilified, isolated, etc, and she still looks like a fucking rock star.
What an amazing human being, for real.

I really like the way this is phrased. It’s so easy for people to dismiss “rape jokes” when they’re referred to as “rape jokes” because it makes rape sound like nothing more than a subject, like there aren’t even any people involved.
“Joke about raping someone” sounds so much more accurate to what people do when they make a “rape joke.” You’re not just joking about some sort of comedic subject. You are joking about one of the most horrific experiences that can happen to someone.
More people need to realise this.

In a 95-page decision issued April 11, Sheri Price, a vice-chair with the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal, gave the Ontario government 180 days to “revise the criteria for changing sex designation on a birth registration.” Unless provincial authorities mount an appeal, Ontario will become the first Canadian jurisdiction to toss out genital surgery as a pre-requisite for a legal sex change
Mercedes Allen, a writer on trans issues based in the Calgary area, said the decision is bound to spark some division within the trans community, particularly among those who have already undergone reassignment surgery.
“They have trouble sometimes understanding how a person could transition and not require (surgery),” she said. There is a sense of “why would you even want to be in that situation?”
She added: “Personally, I don’t think the ability to correct documents should be the reason to have surgery.”

You’re doing something right (finally)Love,

Have you ever felt like,
You like someone, but you’re starting to get attached. & because you’re attached, you are being clingy. & because you are being clingy, you think you are being annoying cause you want to talk to them so much. & because you think you’re being annoying, you feel like you’re bothering them every time you talk to them. But really, you just enjoy talking to them. But you’re afraid they’re getting bored & sick of hearing from you.
