Autistic boy set alight and murdered at his own birthday party →
…This is the bit where a righteous expression of rage is supposed to go. I’d write one, but I’m honestly too sickened to say anything except “Fuck you” and “This is why we need to smash oppression”.
My father in law’s like… how did the kid know he was gay if he’s disabled? And I have no filter because I am in the middle of a nervous breakdown right now, and I flat out said to his face by that reasoning I shouldn’t be married to your son because I’m “too disabled” to have sex. Being disabled does not preclude one from having a sexuality. I stopped myself right before “and you know what?? SOMETIMES I KISS GIRLS:” I want to throw things right now. Look, I know it’s not his fault. Society has created this culture in which we do not see disabled people as sexual beings but holy christ I do NOT have the filter or ability to deal with this while I am withdrawing from a very high dose of paxil.
3 years???
3 1/2 fucking years????
Fuck everything.

Happy women’s day, yo
What’s misandry, again?
Women perform 66% of the world’s work, but receive only 11% of the world’s income, and own only 1% of the world’s land.
Women make up 66% of the world’s illiterate adults.
Women head 83% of single-parent families. The number of families nurtured by women alone doubled from 1970 to 1995 (from 5.6 million to 12.2 million).
Women account for 55% of all college students, but even when women have equal years of education it does not translate into economic opportunities or political power.
There are six million more women than men in the world.
Two-thirds of the world’s children who receive less than four years of education are girls. Girls represent nearly 60% of the children not in school.
Parents in countries such as China and India sometimes use sex determination tests to find out if their fetus is a girl. Of 8,000 fetuses aborted at a Bombay clinic, 7,999 were female.
Wars today affect civilians most, since they are civil wars, guerrilla actions and ethnic disputes over territory or government. 3 out of 4 fatalities of war are women and children.
Rape is consciously used as a tool of genocide and weapon of war. Tens of thousands of women and girls have been subjected to rape and other sexual violence since the crisis erupted in Darfur in 2003. There is no evidence of anyone being convicted in Darfur for these atrocities.
About 75% of the refugees and internally displaced in the world are women who have lost their families and their homes.
Gender-based violence kills one in three women across the world and is the biggest cause of injury and death to women worldwide, causing more deaths and disability among women aged 15 to 44 than cancer, malaria, traffic accident, and war.

[TW: violence against trans* people, suicide, abuse] Transitions: What will it take for America to accept transgender people for who they really are? →
Submitted by edge-of-gloreee:
Transgender people are some of the least protected, most persecuted people in the United States. In a recent study of transgender students, nearly half said they’d been “punched, kicked, or injured with a weapon” at least once in the last year. On average, a transgender person is murdered because of their identity every month, according to the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund. In 2008, for instance, Angie Zapata, an 18-year-old Colorado woman, was bludgeoned to death with a fire extinguisher when her attacker—a man she met through a social-networking site—realized that she was born male.
Transgender people are regularly evicted from their homes, fired from their jobs, and denied medical treatment. Last July, emergency room staff in an Indiana hospital refused to help a trans woman who was coughing up blood, referring to her as “it.” More than a quarter of transgender people surveyed say they have lost a job because of discrimination. Transgender people are more likely to become homeless (at an average age of 13, in New York City). And then there is the obstacle course of inconveniences that reminds transgender people every day that they don’t belong. One trans woman told me her company requires her to lock herself in when she uses the restroom—even though it’s multi-occupancy—so she is acutely aware of making other women wait. In some states, a court order is required to change a person’s gender on a driver’s license. Many health insurance plans only cover procedures for one gender, so a person born male who transitions to female can’t get both a prostate check and a mammogram.
For some, these challenges prove insurmountable. Four years ago, Mike Penner, a longtime sports columnist for the Los Angeles Times, came out to the world as Christine Daniels. But, after a year and a half, unable to cope with the scrutiny, she changed her name back to Mike and returned to living as a man. A year later, she killed herself. Daniels’s story was tragically typical: More than one in three transgender people attempt suicide at some point in their lives.

[So much for a peaceful day of getting this fucking book finished.
This is one of those rants I have to get out of my system before I can concentrate, so I apologize if it’s all over the map. So are my thoughts. And it’s posted here as it’s own entry because I don’t have the time to spare arguing with assholes by tossing my hat in the reblog ring. I just need to get it out, not fall down an SJ K-hole.]
Even if they had to photoshop these together, this isn’t fake. You can pop on over to twitter and look at the #tomyfutureson tag, and this shit pops up over and over again (I recommend never clicking on tags on twitter at all, or having a twitter in the first place, but that’s just my personal internet survival strategy. feel free to do as you please).
“But what about disabled transgender aboriginal Australians? That’s the real issue,” cries that weird and infuriating corner of Tumblr that can’t help itself.
And every time I see some simple but heartfelt show of support for gays and lesbians on this site it is immediately derailed (see: Kissgate 2012) by someone who just can’t wait to inform everyone that “Oh look, it’s Ally Week” or “PoC transgender people have it the worst” or that the original poster is “obviously ableist” or “die cis scum” or some other fucking bullshit “look at me, look at me, I’m so progressive and ahead of the oppression curve” rant, while out in the real world, especially right here in America where everyone who does that shit sits on tumblr and bemoans their constant marginalization because they have a birthmark or something, just the thought of a gay son is enough to turn twitter into hatefest 2012.
America since 1776: It’s a fucking numbers game. Women got the vote and the ensuing struggle for equality first because every man knew a bunch of women. Every guy had a mom, for instance. So they interacted with women, and the smarter among them understood that women possessed all the faculties, ambitions, strength and hope they did, and should be treated as equals, even if it undermined their own privilege/control. Uphill struggle to make all the morons understand that, but at least the ball got rolling.
Black people came next, because there were a lot of them and white men and women were interacting with them, which is a huge part of the equation. Exposure is the only way to acclimate. If you only hear stories about something, it doesn’t really affect you. When those stories are your neighbors and friends, you act. So racial equality is a step behind female equality, although they’re both marching slowly but steadily forward (it takes time for bigots to die and be replaced by less bigoted people but, generationally, every new crop is better than the last).
Then gays, who didn’t really get a foothold in the political arena until the Stonewall riots (Illinois decriminalized homosexuality, in private, in 1962 but it wasn’t even taken off the list of mental disorders by the AMA until ‘73) became the next big wave of civil rights, which we are still struggling toward right now in 2012, on a very basic level. That’s happening because there are a lot of gay/lesbian citizens, and straight people end up talking to/working with/giving birth to them. Hopefully by 2030 we’ll have a gay President, with a husband or wife, and then the gay rights movement will be wherever the (original) civil rights movement is now.
This doesn’t mean women have attained equality and we don’t worry about that anymore. Everyone who’s out in the streets, electing officials and changing minds is valuable and necessary. Race relations, despite our black President, are a damn sight better than they were in the ’60s but we still don’t have any sort of proper national discourse on race and anyone who thinks it’s not an issue is either an idiot or four years old. And that’s not even including the hispanic population and our immigration laws/prejudices, and certainly the Arabic/muslim population and their current completely intolerable treatment, which may or may not be lumped together (black people can think all Sikhs are terrorists, or dislike Mexicans, for instance, so it’s tricky).
I have no doubt that at some point in the future transgender rights will be a more visible, national issue, and progress will be made, but if you start the clock on female equality and equity in the US at 1920 (the right to vote), we’re still not up to par 100 years later. Civil rights beginning at 1965 (the Voting Rights Act) has a similar trajectory. Gays start in 1979/1980 (DNC non-discrimination plank). Wherever women are in 2020, race relations will be in 2065. Gay rights in 2080. Transgender stuff by the year 2100 maybe. Hopefully, it will be a fucking utopia by then.
As to the other “issues” people like to complain about around here, a lot of you are idiots, and very young, and you will come to realize that you’re making shit up and using ‘hip’ terminology usually reserved for academic discourse on gender studies to pretend your life is harder than it is, but it isn’t, and please stop talking.
In the meantime, all of those other things are occasionally intersecting but ultimately separate struggles, and they are very real, and under consistent attack from the conservative right (there’s a point of intersection for you. Everyone’s got the same active enemy).
But when this kind of obvious, ugly, blatant hate is being spilled forth don’t you fucking dare act like there’s an equal amount of horrible idiots on twitter who are like “#tomyfutureson Don’t you dare be crippled or have Asperger’s or I’ll fucking kill you” or “#tomyfutureson I hope you culturally appropriate the fuck out of stuff”. It’s stupid, and you are bad people.
Progress is slow for every worthwhile movement, and that is frustrating to everyone whose heart is in the right place, but a larger struggle getting more attention isn’t unworthy of that attention just because you think those people aren’t marginalized enough. That’s ridiculous. If you’re fighting a similar struggle then support or ignore the other one, don’t try to hijack it. Economic inequality is not abortion legislation is not racial profiling is not gay marriage is not trans discrimination is not Israel/Palestine is not veganism is not whatever, on and on, ad infinitum.
If you want to fight for any rights, for anyone, do it fiercely and with love, from a place of love, at every reasonable opportunity. And do it outside, at the voting booth and in person. Don’t do it to score points and don’t do it insincerely. Don’t do it for the approval of you internet peers. And for fuck’s sake be patient. Don’t deny progress when it’s being made and don’t act like you’ll see everything (or anything, really) completely eliminated or fixed in your lifetime.
Indigenous Central American M to F transgender people with leg braces who identify as wolfkin probably do have it the worst in the world, but that doesn’t mean ignoring or downplaying or talking shit about the struggle for gay rights will in any way help that, just like gays popping up on a forum about women’s reproductive rights legislation or the Trayvon Martin shooting and going, “Well, I can’t get married so boo hoo,” would. It’s a horrible thing. People are out there fighting for your rights, or the rights you hold close to your heart, but the time and place is not in the middle of someone else’s battle.
Don’t be dicks. That’s the thesis summary.
Stop pretending you can lump all these fights into one. They are not the same. If you can find ways to combat multiple discriminations simultaneously in certain instances, go to town (or “fill your boots” as my wife would say), but realize that helping one might help others (a gay president would be way more likely to work on transgender issues than a Mormon millionaire, let’s say), but ignoring one certainly won’t hurt another (stopping racial profiling will not hurt women fighting for equal pay and vice versa), and for the love of some deity or other please stand the fuck down when someone’s actually under the gun.
More importantly, to every gay person who had the misfortune of having to read the shit put forth in those screenshots, either here or on twitter, I’m sorry. I’m sorry we’re not further along in this country, and I’m sorry there’s not more I can do to help get us there. A lot of people are trying, and they’re trying hard. For all that hate, there is also a lot of love. Please know that.

In examining reports of hate crimes against transgender people, researchers found that 98% of all “transgender” violence was perpetrated specifically against people in the male-to-female spectrum; of the 38 murders of transgender people reported internationally in 2003, 70% were women of colour.

Black Woman Set On Fire In Louisiana By 3 Neo-Nazis For Wearing Obama Shirt
KNOE 8 News has received confirmation from the Winnsboro Police that they are working with the Franklin Parish Sheriff’s Office investigating a woman allegedly attacked and burned on Sunday night.
According to the Franklin Parish Sheriff’s Office, Sharmeka Moffitt was on a walking trail in a city park when she was attacked. It happened about 8 p.m. Sunday evening.
She was taken to a hospital in Winnsboro and then transported to LSU Hospital in Shreveport.
A friend of the Moffitt family confirmed to us that she is in stable condition but 90% of her body has been burned.
Friends of the family also tell us the KKK was allegedly involved in the attack.
Whoever said we were living in post-racial America lied. We’ll keep you updated more on the victim and this disgusting hate crime.

Male aggression and entitlement: Halloween edition (tw for threats of violence, and gendered/homophobic slurs)
There have been a lot of excellent posts floating around about Halloween and the gateways of sexual harassment it opens up on women. These are stories that need and should be told.
However, my story of male aggression around Halloween does not involve sexual harassment. Due to personal reasons (involving everything from vlid fears of sexual harassment to religious reasons to body image), I have never been comfortable wearing anything for Halloween that guys consider sexy, and have never had the experience of harassment during Halloween.
But I think my story should also be told because it plays into the same male dominance dynamic, and I actually feared for my safety during this incident. It demonstrates how even absent from the act of sexual aggression, male aggression permeates many mens’ attitudes towards women. Other women in this incident were sexually harassed, but it is not my place to tell their stories.
During my time at Lipscomb University, I belonged to a social club called the Keltae society. It was for people of Celtic heritage or interested in Celtic language/history/myth. For Halloween, we put on a free haunted house for the entire campus, as well as for our rival school Belmont. Everyone was extremely excited about putting on this house, especially me.
I was the “emcee” type. I was to guide our guests through the department, and make sure they went to all the proper rooms at the proper times. The last room contained an “evil drill sergeant” character, who was played by an actual sergeant.
At one point in the evening a very stereotypical macho guy (big white guy with a crew cut in a pilot costume) came in by himself. He walked around behind me, doing the whole “I”m not afraid of anything routine”, which was annoying but expected. Until we get to the last room. This guy almost gets into a fist fight with our drill sergaent, until he finally decides to leave. Angered by the incident, the sergaent decided to leave his place at the attraction.
Myself and another actress replaced the man who left. The macho guy comes back a few minutes later with a lagre group of friends, including a woman in a female version of his costume, whom I assume was his girlfriend. Instead of letting me walk him to the end of the attraction, as before, he demanded to see the drill sergeant again.
I tell him that that actor had to leave due to personal reasons. He gets furious and pushes past me, his friends following him to the last room where the other actress is waiting.
We try to put on our little skit for the newcomers, but macho guy starts yelling at me about the drill sergeant no longer being there, as if I can somehow control when the volunteers left.
I tried to stay in character the entire time, but that only made him angry. When I finally broke character to tell him he needed to leave, he got angrier. He continued yelling at me, while my actress friend tried to defend me.
He called me things like “stupid bitch”, “fucking dumb c**t”, a d*ke, and somehow managed to zero in on everything I am uncomfortable about with my physical appearance.
I wanted to cry, but was also angry. I had actually broken my finger earlier in the evening. I have a physical disability which causes intense pain. I get panic attacks. I was in so much physical pain that I snapped.
I stood up for myself. I called him a jackass and told him to leave or I would get campus security.
And then this 6 foot plus tall motherfucker shoved me into the wall, and started screaming at me right in my face while holding the front of my “bloodied” nurse’s scrubs. I couldn’t move, not only out of fear, but because I was pinned by someone much larger and more able-bodied than me.
His friends and girlfriend did nothing but laugh. They thought it was funny that I got “put in my place” for having the temerity to stand up for myself.
I genuinely thought he might hit me.
After that though they left on their own. I never got any of their names. I don’t know if they went to Lipscomb or Belmont University. I couldn’t report them, other than to tell the door guard not to let a guy dressed as a pilot back in; and that wouldn’t protect me after Halloween was over.
Basically, this is just a warning for women who are only expecting the threat of sexual harassment this Halloween, to also be wary of violent men with no sexual intentions whatsoever.
And for men to police all the actions of their friends.
Also, I guess I just needed to talk about it. I hope it reaches people that it needs to.
