fuckyeahchoice:
They’re alienating people in the pro-choice movement and losing support all because they’re too bigoted to say ‘person’ for some reason. Since not only women can get pregnant, they’re incorrect in their word choice and hurting our cause.
Not to mention it should be a fairly basic thing along the line of not being a horrible human being, referring to someone as they should be...

YES, I am criticizing a system that privileges white, male, cisgendered, heterosexual, Christian, able-bodied people, and a few other categories I may forget. And class. Class is what counts.
NO, I am not hating on white people. I pass as white. I benefit from the skin privilege and let me tell you: the liberty to choose if I’m going to give myself away or not at my...

South Dakota’s state House of Reps recently passed a bill on the definition of domestic violence, complete with amendments that modify an “intimate partnership” or “relationships” with the clause “with a member of the opposite sex.” So, gay man in an abusive relationship?

BEST OF STFU RACISTS: Black History Month
stfuracists:
Today is the last day of Black History Month for 2012. It’s way too short a celebration.
After I’m done writing and editing for this blog, I think the posts I’ll always be the happiest with are my profiles for Black History Month. Not only did I put the most work into these posts, since I was trying to accurately but concisely portray important parts of history that are all too...

Anonymous asked: Anon here again: The person who said undocumented workers shouldn't have access to any services in America. I told her that, in 2010, undocumented workers actually paid $11.2 billion in taxes into the system. I just thought she should know that they do, in fact, pay into the system and do deserve services.
