You begin saving the world by saving one person at a time; all else is grandiose, romanticism or politics.

TRIGGER WARNING:

“[I] wouldn’t make exceptions [for abortion in the case of rape and incest]. What I would try to do is create a program that would enable women in those circumstances to have support and help them through whatever process they needed both in terms of counseling and in terms of if they wanted to give up the baby for adoption.”

-Newt Gingrich

“[A child conceived through rape is a] gift of human life. [Rape victims should] accept what God [has given them].” 

-Rick Santorum

I just threw up in my mouth.

SIGN THIS PETITION TO TELL THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT TO ALLOW TRANSGENDER PEOPLE ON PLANES

asimplekoipond:

Under Sec 5.2(1)(c) of the ID screening regs of Aeronautics Act: 

“An air carrier shall not transport a passenger if the passenger does not appear to be of the gender indicated on the identification he or she presents.”

This means that anyone who is a post-op or non-op trans* person can be turned away from getting on flights in Canada. This is blatant discrimination towards the trans*community. Sign Below and tell Harper that Canadians won’t stand for this type of oppression.

if you guys would all make sure you sign this, that would be great

Sec 5.2(1)(c) of the ID screening regs of Aeronautics Act: “An air carrier shall not transport a passenger if the passenger does not appear to be of the gender indicated on the identification he or she presents.”

What in the actual fuck. That doesn’t make any sense. Mega-discrimination. “Appear” is completely subjective!

What the fuck. Panic attack. Does this mean I can’t fly to Florida for my top surgery any more?

WHAT WHOA WHAT

The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males is not violence toward women. Instead patriarchy demands of all males that they engage in acts of psychic self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves. If an individual is not successful in emotionally crippling himself, he can count on patriarchal men to enact rituals of power that will assault his self-esteem.
