Tough As Ovaries

sometimes I see guys from behind, and then see them from the front, and think, “you would be so much cuter if you were girl.”

like seriously, if you were an androgynous boi with a faux hawk instead of a slightly douchey looking preppy guy with a soft chin, I would like you better. Immediately.

Femme Girl Problems: The Clubbing Paradox

Go to a straight club: Almost get into a fistfight with the drunken straight frat boy who refuses to believe that you're queer...and then offers you money to make out with some random chick you happen to be standing next to.

Go to a gay club: Manage to get sneak-attack-grinded-humped from behind by the one straight guy in the club. Lesbian street cred image ruined for the rest of the night because now everyone thinks you're straight.

Question: How do lesbians hit on each other at gay bars?

Answer: we give each other our tumblr user names, instead of phone numbers.

OH MY GOD I FEEL SO GAY.

edit: ~~oh wait does this mean said other queer person will see this? whoopsies. side note: never drunk tumblr.~~

Proof that straight white cis people do not understand sarcasm

(and also cannot resist derailing/lecturing people. Even queer people. On queer issues. And queer stereotyping).

oh my god, somebody submitted my “sorry I’m a lesbian” video to REDDIT?

http://www.reddit.com/r/actuallesbians/comments/ri8dc/when_a_girl_says_sorry_im_a_lesbian/

aaaaand the conclusions I can draw from the comments section of my “Dear Straight Men: How to Respond to “Sorry, I’m a Lesbian” video are:

video link here

1. there are no hot lesbians

2. But if you are a lesbian and you get hit on, you have no right to be mean to a man who’s insisting on keeping on pursuing the issue.

3. In fact, you should be nice to every man that hits on you because he has the BEST intentions and there is no reason to be mean at all.

4. While friend-zoning in general is bad, lesbians and straight guys CAN be friends. And straight guys who come up to you to hit on you, then find out you’re a lesbian, and then keep talking to you and making really sleazy comments, THEY’RE JUST TRYING TO BE FRIENDLY.

5. So the least you could do, as a CULTURAL REPRESENTATIVE FOR YOUR MINORITY, is be nice back.

6. Otherwise, you’re just enforcing negative stereotypes

7. And clearly, if you want to be an accepted member of society, you just have to be nice to everybody

8. Otherwise, how else are we all going to get along? you expect me to be nice to YOU?

Lesson 1: How to respond to “Sorry, I’m a lesbian”

waaaatch ittttt

Aaaand the example I'm thinking of is the construction of Irishness as whiteness/not whiteness in various points throughout history. In their case, race has been constructed by the prejudices of colonial governments and also the country of migration. Irish peoples' skin hasn't miraculously changed colour, but the way they were perceived shifted drastically, they've been black/white/alien/foreigner/acceptable/admonished/freaks/admired. Their/my race is as fluid as can be, really. And we're 'white

Anonymous

….Race is only fluid in retrospect. It doesn’t matter what races counted as white/non-white in the past; what matters is RIGHT NOW. And bear in mind that the system works both ways. Filipinos in Louisiana were considered white under the whole “what fraction white are you” system they had; today, they are most certainly not white.

I don’t care what races ARE white and what are not; The point is, white is synonymous with majority and power, and being non-white means that you are systematically oppressed based on race. Yes, race is a social construct, but that doesn’t meant that racism is something that everybody can perform.

I’m only going to say this one. more. time.

…we are NOT all the same. White problems are NOT the same as POC problems. We are not a homogenous society, and in fact, our society emphasizes the whole non-homogenous thing to a huge degree.

Dear Homophobic, Paranoid Parents Who are Worried about “Turning Your Child Gay.” [An informational post]

THINGS THAT CAN NOT TURN YOUR CHILD GAY:

-cross dressing

-the color pink

-really butch haircuts

-playing with gendered toys that do not correspond to your child’s assigned gender

-Teletubbies

-Physical/Intellectual, NON SEXUAL interaction with gay people (i.e.: GOT THE GAY)

-other people getting gay married

-Sexual trauma

-that one time you let your little boy go to dance class/that one time you let your little girl put on a football jersey and tackle all the little boys on the block.

THINGS THAT MIGHT POSSIBLY HELP YOUR CHILD REALIZE THAT ZE IS GAY:

-Gay porn

-Neil Patrick Harris

-Jodie Foster

-Glee

-Skins

-Certain kind of masturbation

-Tumblr

-Meeting that one special someone that you love absolutely and completely/have the ultimate chemistry with, who happens to be the same gender.

THINGS THAT CAN ACTUALLY “TURN” YOUR CHILD GAY

…..

….

…….Not a goddamn thing.

Being Gay is NOT SOMETHING THAT MAGICALLY HAPPENS by engaging in some sort of gender-specific activity. Being gay is NOT CONTAGIOUS. Even if a person engages in a same-sex, sexual encounter, that does not mean that person is GAY. Being gay is a sexual identity that cannot be changed, nor affected by weird societal norms and variances.

So shut the fuck up and let your little boy prance around in a tutu already.
