Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services: For a prima facie case of employment discrimination under Title VII, a plaintiff who is a member of a majority group does not need to show background circumstances to support the suspicion that the defendant is an unusual employer who discriminates against the majority.

Worst Supreme Court case of the year. KBJ is a coon confirmed. Thomas has somehow been rendered reasonable. a hearty RIP to procedural affirmative action.

“Pro-DEI” is one of the dog whistles of all time.

Which coming-out, which medication, which surgery, which friendship, which sex act, which relationship, which instance of survived bigotry, will ever make me feel like enough?

Half of falling in love is timing. I didn’t meet the right women at the right times. I can count the missed opportunities […] but time only moves one way.

Too many good quotes to leave here.

Yeah, I really think I don’t get having children.

In this sharp manifesto, veteran author and activist, Jude Doyle, reunites feminist and trans politics through a common belief: that all people deserve to have the final say about who they are…

An excellent book on transfeminism from the transmasc POV. A terrifyingly easy read: I zoomed through its 200 pages in about a day.

Yet again, cis men ruin a neat thing for everybody.

The right is trying to turn Pride Month into Shame Month.

worst rhing about being aro is losing friends like “sry ur into me and that made it weird”

My research is situated in the interdisciplinary field of sociocultural linguistics and takes a mixed-methods approach to the relationship between language, identity, embodiment, and social power. It also grows from a community-based agenda that centers the experience of transgender people, broadly defined. Major areas of investigation include the gendered characteristics of the voice, trans-inclusive language practices and linguistic activism, the discursive construction of “biological sex,” the changing status of singular ‘they’, and the relationship between gender and race in drag-related media.

Great video on amatonormativity and the loneliness of masculinity.

maybe intersectionality isn’t a game of who can be oppressed in the most ways but rather a framework for understanding our relationship to power.

This blog post shares such a radically different view of transmasculinity that I’m not sure how to process it.

Interesting posts on sexual consent.

Every single piece of popular media out there has some variation of “no fats no fems no Asians” as an unspoken default policy. If you’re not white and skinny and cis and male and perisex and straight…

Very straightforward and action-oriented sex advice. Wish I could read a book written like this.

Yeah I just can’t get into male characters. Every time one shows up he’s always just the Male Character to get brownie points and make an obvious epic maleboss so the writer can feel better about themselves. Not to mention they’re always getting in the way of my cute yuri ship. I just rather go focus on women instead. They’re always the more interesting and better written characters than the one random man they decided to shoehorn in.

my mom’s trans allyship is on another level

she once called my friend’s deadname “that stupid thing his mom calls him”
