Follow me down the rabbit hole for a second:
I’ve long wondered if this - that women don’t recognize the symptoms of a heart attack in themselves, and consequently don’t get the fast care that is vital for heart attack survival - is the reason heart disease is the #1 killer in women. Women...

– Dan Savage (via fuckyeahcunnilingus)
I strongly disagree. I wouldn’t want to feel pressured into doing something I didn’t want to do in bed, and I’d never want to make my partner feel that way, either.
(via bi-in-alberta) I hate this idea of “if I do this for you, you must do something for...

dear legal gender
please stop being a thing???
you do not serve any purpose at all?????
except to inconvenience people????????
It kind of bugs me that more people don’t seem to realize that there really isn’t any particular NEED to have our sexes and genders legally assigned. So far as I can tell, the only usefulness is in marketing, and we could all do with a little...

thecurvature replied to your post: Kind of unnerves me how few people know what vulvas etc. are supposed to look like.
I wonder what the response would look like if someone did an experiment by posting a cis woman’s vulva as a trans woman’s SRS result. I bet the same (ew, doesn’t look “real,” etc.), bc it’s about policing “real womanhood,” not actual appearance.
Yep. :/...

I know, I’m the last damn person you’d expect to make one of these posts, considering how much I hate Tumblr’s general clamoring for “social justice” and petitions/donations/what have you. But I think this one deserves a little special attention.
