Here are some awesome and empowering quotes from several very strong female celebrities.

Fabulous, but Roseanne Barr is a really big transphobe, so I wish she wasn’t on this list. We aren’t even talking unknowing ignorance, but flat-out hate and discrimination that she’s well-aware of. She does a lot of that “real women” talk.

Incidentally, what are you doing now? Like, in terms of being awake. Are you generally nocturnal or is it unusual for you to be awake at this time? For me it's that my cat likes to wake me up at unreasonable hours of the morning, so I haven't had a decent night's sleep in almost a week.

Thu, 23 May 2013 12:12:03 +0100

right now i’m just messing around online. i was playing video games but then got bored and am thinking about going to sleep soon. i’m generally incredibly nocturnal. like if i’m not awake at this time, it’s pretty unusual. like i’ve just always had trouble sleeping due to the fact that i cannot make my brain shut down when i want it to. like i used to try to go to bed at a decent time (like 2 or 3 a.m.) but then i would always end up getting up again because i couldn’t stop thinking about random things and like it would go on for several hours and eventually i would just get bored of attempting to sleep. and i noticed that when i tried to sleep, i would usually be unable to, so i just kinda stopped even attempting to go to sleep until like 6 a.m. and when i do that i’m usually asleep within like half an hour. also, i don’t really do anything during the day because i don’t work or go to school at the moment so i don’t really have any reason to go to bed at a more reasonable time. and like pretty much everything that i do irl doesn’t happen until the early evening because most of my friends work and don’t get off until like 5 p.m., by which time i’m always awake. xD

Oh geez I meant to write 75, not 85. 75 is a far less loaded question! My mistake.

10, 37, 85, 140

Thu, 23 May 2013 09:47:50 +0100

10. i don’t like this question because i’m uncomfortably tall and it makes passing incredibly difficult. i’m 6’3”. i wish i was tiny.

37. honestly, i’m not entirely sure. like i’ve never given it all that much thought. like i’ve always thought that i’d like to have some piercings at some point but i’ve never really thought about which ones

85. i can’t really think of one. like i don’t really have much of anything to hide. and like there isn’t really a question that i wouldn’t want to tell the truth on so much as just some questions that might make me uncomfortable but i would still want to answer them

140. either sweden or canada

Fancy knowing anything about me?

what you fail to realize is that video games shouldn’t cater to females in the first place. It’s largely known that it’s targeted towards the MALE demographic and has been for so many years, so why would they ask for something like that to be handed to them on a goddamn silver platter?

that’s like a guy walking into the women’s department of clothing at a sears and demanding that there be more clothing for men there. Separation of sections be damned.

that’s not how it fucking works

no not really

the game industry is more like walking into a regular department store and seeing that all the clothes are only men’s clothes

and when you ask the cashier where the women’s clothing section is, they wheel out a small rack of cheaply made tutus, g-strings, and high heels all in bright pink

and then when you go “wow really that’s it” you get called an uppity bitch and everybody assumes you want all the focus on you when in reality you’d just like to be considered a worthwhile demographic since you also like to wear clothes, it’s not like you want some ridiculous getup, you just want a solid shirt and pair of pants that fits you alright.

I mean hell you even sort of like men’s clothes and you have no problem wearing them. They suit you well. But it’s very obvious once you throw on a pair of men’s pants that they were not made for you.

Perfect metaphor is perfect.

"As a trans woman, not many things give me a headache the way the entire concept of passing does...."

Thu, 23 May 2013 07:48:20 +0100

“As a trans woman, not many things give me a headache the way the entire concept of passing does. Passing is the idea that if a trans woman (or any person who is presenting as a woman) looks, dresses and acts a certain way, people won’t be able to tell they are anything other than a completely “normal” woman. If you look at online trans communities or forums, you’ll find tons of tips on how to pass better – everything from hair removal tips to workouts to how to walk and sit more femininely.
All of this presupposes that there is only one right way to look like and be a woman. And it’s infuriating. On the one hand, whenever I go out in public or post pictures online, a part of me is deathly afraid that I’ll be insulted or worse. I desperately want to be accepted as the woman I am. On the other hand, I hate that in order to feel safe, I’m expected to fit into the very narrow box that is labeled “woman.” Tips on how to pass always seem to say that you should avoid building muscle mass and avoid wearing clothes and makeup that are too costumey, that you should try to hide your shoulders and soften your features. Trans women are often told that if we want to pass, we have to try our hardest to be petite, soft, have just the right amount of femininity, and not stand out too much. But what if I want to be a different kind of woman? What if I want to look like Grace Jones or Kate Moennig? What if I want to look like Beth Ditto or Dolly Parton? They’re all cis women; don’t they pass?”

- Meyllen Djneres (via muffinsandcouture)

The moral of “passing” discussions always seems to be:

If you get bashed it will be your fault.

Today I was stopped in the hallway on my way to class by one of the security guards. She wouldn’t let me go to class and forced me to walk across the school to the main office to have my mom, who by the way was on her way to work, bring me “real pants” because the way I dressed was “sexually provocative.” Because of this I was ten minutes late to class, and after five minutes of actually being in class I was taken back out to be talked to again by the security guard and given my “real pants.”

These shorts are mid-thigh, and I am wearing opaque black tights. Other than my hands and my face, I had no skin showing whatsoever. So tell me, how is this being “sexually provocative?” (reminder: this is a typical american public high school, not a private or religious-oriented school)

The security guard ridiculed me, saying that what I was wearing was inappropriate. I told her that everyday, other girls walk around in skin-tight yoga pants, some even with their thongs clearly showing, and shirts that are see-through. “This is not bad clothing.” I had told her. This security guard plays favorites with the girls on who she does call out and doesn’t call out. On game days, the cheerleaders decide to wear their skirts that barely cover their butts and she doesn’t cal them out at all. She also openly said to my mom “I don’t look at what the boys are wearing, only the girls.”

When my mom came in to bring me the pants, she had a long talk with the security guard. She told my mom that I should know that there is a dress code, and that I should follow it. My mom told her “Maybe there shouldn’t be a dress code if it isn’t monitored consistently. This is double-standards.”

My mom also told her “The only distraction from class that is going on is you are pulling my daughter out of class and keeping her from learning.”

I had to walk up to this security guard to get my long pants, since she was talking to my mom, and my mom said to me sarcastically: “It appears that you are being sexually provocative, darling.”

“Oh yes mama, all the boys are just popping boners everywhere!” I pretended to swoon. We both left, my mom calling back to the security guard: “I didn’t need this today, you know. I need to get to work and I haven’t even showered yet. Good Job.”

The whole ordeal was ridiculous. Girls shouldn’t be ridiculed for wearing shorts. Even so, I was wearing thick tights that you couldn’t see through–much better than just wearing yoga pants. There is no way that what I was wearing could even be considered “sexually provocative.” Plus, anything the boys wear is completely fine in the eyes of the security guard, it’s only what the girls are wearing that are “inappropriate.” Even yoga pants where you can see the thong through it don’t “disrupt class” because nobody cares enough about what a student wears and does not wear, only the security guards.

tl;dr, dress codes are counterproductive and the enforcers cause more disruption for a student’s learning than shorts do.

♬ my sweater tights and mid thigh shorts bring all the boys to the yard ♪

Reminds me of the time this girl in my class who was wearing shorts that went almost to her knees asked to use the restroom, took forever, and came back wearing different pants. She said she got stopped in the hall because her shorts were inappropriate so she changed into her sweatpants for PE. Even our teacher was like “What?” I guess her knees were just really provocative.

This angers me.

"Gentlemen. This is what rape culture is like: Imagine you have a Rolex watch. Nice fancy Rolex, you..."

Thu, 23 May 2013 04:31:31 +0100

“

Gentlemen. This is what rape culture is like:

Imagine you have a Rolex watch. Nice fancy Rolex, you bought it because you like the way it looks and you wanted to treat yourself. And then you get beaten and mugged and your Rolex is stolen. So you go to the police. Only, instead of investigating the crime, the police want to know why you were wearing a Rolex instead of a regular watch. Have you ever given a Rolex to anyone else? Is it possible you wanted to be mugged? Why didn’t you wear long sleeves to cover up the Rolex if you didn’t want to be mugged?

And then after that, everywhere you go, there are constant jokes about stealing your Rolex. People you don’t even know whistle at your Rolex and make jokes about cutting your hand off to get it. The media doesn’t help either; it portrays people who wear Rolexes as flamboyant assholes who secretly just want someone to come along and take that Rolex off their hands. When damn, all you wanted was to wear a nice watch without getting harassed for it. When you complain that you are starting to feel unsafe, people laugh you off and say that you are too uptight. Never mind you got violently attacked for the crime of wearing a friggin time piece.

Imagining all that? It sucks, doesn’t it.

Now imagine you could never take the Rolex off.
