I’m going to withhold any final judgment until I see conversations involving transabled people and disabled and transgender people who arent’ obviously biased against it.
I wouldn’t say I am biased against it, but some of those blog posts that people linked to before didn’t really sit with me well at all....

I still want to read some non-Tumblr, non-questionable internet blog things on “transableism” before I talk extensively about it though. There doesn’t seem to be a lot on it. I did find a book on Amazon but it was like $75 so… nope.

Anonymously Submitted:
As a disabled (Autistic) trans* person who has talked with other trans* people about it and read “transabled” theories and narratives, I’ve got a bunch of opinions. They aren’t particularly nice. The fact that there’s an underlying phenomenon that causes distress doesn’t forgive any of the...

I have been getting some passive aggressive stuff directed at me too lately. I don’t like it.
I hope it ends soon for you <3 I’m currently just trying to ignore it because there’s not much I can do otherwise.

Well I know Lierre Keith doesn’t pretend trans people don’t exist. THAT would be an improvement :|
It’s true. It’s just, Derrick has not commented at all, but is pretty much bffs with Lierre, so I feel it’s safe to say that he holds the same viewpoint since he hasn’t actively refuted it...

I am really not comfortable with passive aggressiveness being directed at me. I have been nothing but respectful and I find it very strange that I am unfollowed and defriended everywhere but you’re still looking at my pages.

I am getting SO ANNOYED with this new person in my lab (new graduate student). Like, she has no sense at all what is ethical in regards to someone’s intellectual thoughts or like, thinking for yourself. Examples!!
- she came to me before a class where we were going to discuss some papers and asked me what I wrote as my questions/points. When we were in class, SHE SAID ONE OF THE THINGS I...

Dolphins deserve to be treated as non-human “persons” whose rights to life and liberty should be respected, scientists meeting in Canada have been told.

holy shit
reading [person’s] blog is fucking triggering and also oh my god the amount of B.S. and weasling out of accountability for fucked up things and blaming all their shitty behavior on reaction to ableism is.. i cannot believe this, WTF. talk about commandeering social justice language to justify abusive behavior. this takes the cake. :/

You look really similar to cabbage o.O
I think you’ve mentioned this before! I look a lot like my best friend from high school, too, to the point where people thought we were siblings. Maybe we are some sort of evil clones that will one day be activated to exert an evil force on the Earth! (although I hope that isn’t true)

Ya'll should report this tumblr:...
wifwolf:
And, obviously, do not go to that URL if you don’t want to vomit everywhere.
They just reblogged a photo of mine (calling me a “cute little plaything”) and I feel physically ill.
…WHAT THE FUCK. Reporting. Signal boosting.
yeeea
Is it bad I am like, SO HAPPY my advisor is in over his head with classes this semester that I can essentially sneak away and he doesn’t try to ask me what I’ve accomplished/what I’m working on? Lol.

survivor solidarity
modernistwitch:
This post is for all of us. Know that I am here for you in whatever capacity I can be.
Without the support & understanding of other survivors, good friends, I probably wouldn’t be here right now.
I believe so firmly that reaching out to one another is critical and that we need one another, and there is nothing weak about that.
I can't wait till April lol
just-being-mexoxo:
Since I’m on cytoxan and prednisone I didn’t think it was ok to celebrate my 21 st birthday at the time. So April I will celebrate my 21 birthday like I want to with my sisters. Screw you Lupus. I’m gonna have a good time.
I don’t mean to sound wild I just want to have fun and celebrate my 21 birthday as I dreamed I would. Only two more cytoxans

None of the actors speak Mandarin that well, and the inclusion of Mandarin alongside current commonly-accepted Chinese indicators - such as the fabrics, cut of clothing, food & use of chopsticks - don’t reflect a great familiarity with the either Chinese or the diaspora cultures.

his name should be re-classified as a completely ridiculous bigoted faux pas.

You should try to talk to him about it — maybe at the next lab meeting? This is *your* project and *your* degree hinges on it, not this person’s. And if you don’t think that he is the best choice for what you need, there is nothing wrong with saying that. Really. I wish I had more of a say in who was hired to help me as I’m...

I am a terrible person
I just spent way too much time going through this Catholic guy’s tumblr who has been answering asks about the whole contraception coverage debacle.
But then I found an ask where he was talking about how God doesn’t have sexual feelings at all and has no sexuality to speak of.
all I thought was: “GOD IS THE TRUEST ASEXUAL”

aw. i got nothing done today, but i had no pain, just depression. ;c

feelin’ like a failure because I did not get anything done this weekend thesis-wise like I thought I would.
instead i spent all day today in lots of pain. uuuugh.
I want to write a post about how a lot of the Tumblr drama fights are about differences in perspective between people who have been doing sproutspace activism for a long amount of time vs. idealistic radicals who for whatever reason restrict their activism to the internet (which, there is honestly nothing wrong with).
but I can’t even words because I’m too stressed out about all the...
Bluh.
I woke up today in excruciating pain, so that seemed like the best time ever to scrub down the kitchen floor and clean the entire apartment.
Now I’m at school, trying to get stuff done and failing because I’m in some pretty awesome pain still (wait—scrubbing shit on my hands and knees won’t make me feel better???)

here’s me trying on the dress I’m wearing out tonight:
Ethan was in the dressing room with me helping me get them on because ARTHRITIS, but he was scared that the dressing room demon guard was going to yell at us.
anyway, I’m about to put on some tights and some lipstick and eyeliner and finish this outfit off. For some reason, I feel really confident in this thing.
