It made me realize something interesting.
I like James on a scale from 1 to James.
I like Marti on a scale from 1 to Marti.
These scales are not comparable, there is no way to translate a value on one scale to a value on the other; in fact my feelings for each are utterly unique to each person.
I know this was the right choice- I just feel so unbelievably happy,...

“We’re taught to turn the other cheek—that being kind in the face of hostility is the better way to respond to conflict so love can overcome hate. According to psychologist Clifford N.

Say it with me now: SHE. I want you to call me that. Yes, I know I don’t always “look” the “part”, but call me that anyway. Really. I promise the earth won’t spin off its axis.
Yes, fellow students, I know you’re terribly certain that you’ve “figured out” my “real” “gender”. My pronoun is STILL she. Deal.
reblog this if you'd rather be fucking.
^ Yep. Feelin’ this a lot lately.
I can't even.
I wish Tumblr had a “I feel your pain” button
because I feel terrible whenever I “like” one of your sad text posts
and it looks like I enjoy watching you suffer
because I don’t
I really don’t
I mean, not that I'm complaining.
‘Cause it means I have lots of partners with whom I’m deeply in love, and potential partners whom I’m excited to get closer to :)

Steven, my friend, I cannot even begin to convey the level of wrong here!

anticapitalist:
That was fast.
A few days ago the news broke that the pending Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) was put on hold until consensus was reached.
Although the announcement was rather vague, some news sites and blogs declared SOPA dead, or “shelved,” or erased from history.
Wishful thinking, because today SOPA is back in full force.

ugh just ‘cause someone called you a slur that one time doesn’t mean it’s suddenly yours to reclaim, ok? that slur has a long violent history of oppressing someone else and you need to respect that it is not yours to use
ATTN: trans men and transmasculine folks.
And that’s where fundiegelical dudes usually go, “Well, I can understand why you feel that way, but I’m not the one saying these things; God is!”
Sure, guy. God is saying these things. The fact that these things he’s saying just happen to be exactly what sexist, possessive men want to hear is pure coincidence. Yep.
…I have a lot of feelings about fundyism okay
And then there's the really horrible, disgusting...
The same fundiegelicals who say that sex outside of marriage will kill you also say that, if your spouse wants sex within marriage, you don’t have the right to say no.
Given how patriarchal these folks tend to be, you can easily imagine how that plays out. :(
And the funny thing is
Some of the sex I have is a lot more dangerous than these people can even imagine. When I say that I’m into risk-aware consensual kink, I’m not being flippant. So, uhh, it’s gonna take a lot more than preaching about THE DANGERS OF SEX ONOES to scare off my partners and me!
“And condoms aren’t 100% effective at stopping HIV — which means that...”
– I remember reading this in a fundy magazine geared towards teenagers, in an article about how extramarital sex will make you get sick and die and go to hell. This is what I grew up with. This is the kind of thing I was taught about sex.

Completely aside from the people dying thing, that’s utterly ridiculous/bizarre because AIDS ISN’T THE ONLY STD!?! Or even the only incurable one!

I remember how, in elementary school (fourth or fifth grade, I think?), I came home all excited to tell my mom about what I’d learned in class about AIDS research, and how we hoped there’d soon be a cure.
She told me that I shouldn’t wish for a cure, because if AIDS was cured, then there would be no consequences for having sex.
Even as a devout little fundy kid who knew nothing...

It has gone better! I called my grandma and she had food leftover from a flower arranging guild meeting at her house and so she brought that. And then at the weavers guild meeting there was an estate sale and I got cotton yarn to make a baby blanket.
Well, that’s good, then! <3 Love you, Shi.

I am NOT making this up.
