Today, I told my little sister (she is five) that I have a friend (@neeple–beeple) that they are genderfluid. My sister asked me, “Is (Drew) a boy or a girl?” and I said “They are both a boy and a girl” and she just says, “Oh! Like Stevonnie!” and goes back to coloring.
She understood gender fluidity because a kids show showed a non-binary character. Steven Universe is important. Representation is important.

There's a conversation to be had about the conditions that create a mass murderer, but let's leave that to mental health experts...

Instead, let's try and dismantle endemic/systemic racism and sexism, k?

sexism and racism definitely play a huge part in creating white, male mass murderers

You never would have come here unless you believed you were going to save them. Evolution has yet to transcend that simple barrier. We can care deeply - selflessly - about those we know, but that empathy rarely extends beyond our line of sight.

Anonymous asked: What is tender/tenderqueer?
rainbowchardkittenpants:
(made rebloggable by request<3)
i’m only speaking for myself here, but tenderness for me is about being a super emotionally sensitive person and not being ashamed of it. having a lot of feelings and not apologizing for that fact. crying easily and often. i’ve always been an extremely sensitive person and that’s often seen as a bad thing, but it’s really really not. it makes things hard sometimes. but i am a capital f Feeler and i am constantly reminding myself that that is okay, and it’s even good. it’s also about being vulnerable with my feelings, with myself and others. the ‘others’ part is something i am constantly working on because it doesn’t come so easily to me. “tender” is what i am and it’s what i work towards.
um and i’m queer and tender at the same time. so. tenderqueer.

Okay, so there’s a wide variety of genitals out there. Here is a very simplistic chart of a spectrum genitals can fall on:
Basically the clitoris and the penis are the exact same thing, very similar anatomy. Doctors will define it as a clitoris or penis depending on 1. if it has a urethra going through it and 2. it’s size. The diagram is the one they use to decide if they want to call the baby a girl or boy or intersex. Many babies are put through genital surgeries (sometimes without the parent’s knowledge or permission) to make them look more like a penis or more like a vulva which can cause many health problems as it is a surgery, or other problems related to being assigned a gender. Any kind of surgery that isn’t necessary for health should not be performed on babies because they cannot consent.

Anonymous asked: I don't want to sounds rude here, I'm just very new to this. I'm wondering how gender being a social construct and being trans work together. Where is the line of anyone can be whatever they want regardless of their body and being a different gender than you were assigned at birth? Not unsupportive, not taking a stance... Just curious
No, that’s exactly it. We all have the right to determine our own genders. Gender is a concept of self which connects to your self-image, your sense of style, but also to your very bodily integrity, and to whom you feel closest kinship with.
You have the right to decide how you will wear your hair and where you would like it to grow, if anywhere.
You have the right to dress in whatever clothes you find suit your body and personality and desire for expression best.
You have the right to shape your body as you see fit, to load it with the hormones which give you most inward comfort, and to have the primary and secondary sexual characteristics which make you feel most at home with yourself.
You have the right to be referred to by whatever pronouns make you feel most at peace in social situations, even if they are not gendered, or
if they are not traditionally enshrined in academic English.
You have the right to change your mind about any of these things as often as you want or need or please, and you have the right to the space you need to navigate and find your own equilibrium within your body, your identity, your whole self.
You have the right to determine for yourself if you are a man, or a woman, or both, or neither. And you have the right not to have these rights infringed upon by those with their own rigid and imposed ideas about what you’re “supposed to be”, because you know what’s best for your body and mind and heart than any stranger could dream to.

The Italian-American Civil Rights League was formed as a political group in and around New York City in the early 1970s. Its stated goal was to combat pejorative stereotypes about Italian-Americans.
The group began as the Italian American Anti-Defamation League[1] on April 30, 1970, when approximately 30 Italian-Americans, led by Joseph Colombo, picketed the Manhattan headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. They were there to protest the recent arrest of Colombo's son, Joseph Colombo Jr., on a charge of conspiracy to melt down old U.S. silver coins (the mintage of which had ceased five years earlier) into ingots. (The charge was later dismissed when the chief witness against the junior Colombo admitted to having committed perjury). Prior to this, the senior Colombo had complained of unfair harassment of him and his family by various federal law-enforcement authorities, who alleged that Colombo was the boss of one of New York City's five Mafia families — a charge he repeatedly denied.
The 30 demonstrators who appeared at the FBI building were joined by others in successive days, and ultimately their number grew to more than 5,000. The group then adopted the name "Italian-American Civil Rights League" after Colombo's attorney, Barry Slotnick, had suggested it. A logo, consisting of the numeral "1" superimposed upon a map of the United States, with the organization's name encircling it, was then devised. The logo invoked Christopher Columbus, the famous Italian explorer who opened the Americas up to European colonization.
Within two months, the organization claimed 45,000 dues-paying members, and held a large rally in Columbus Circle on June 28, 1970. The league gained further momentum when Frank Sinatra held a benefit concert in its honor at Madison Square Garden in November of that year.
The group then turned its attention to what it perceived as cultural slights against Italian-Americans, using boycott threats to force Alka-Seltzer and The Ford Motor Company to withdraw television commercials the league objected to, and also got United States Attorney General John Mitchell to order the United States Justice Department to stop using the word "Mafia" in official documents and press releases. The league also secured an agreement from Al Ruddy, the producer of The Godfather, to omit the terms "Mafia" and "Cosa Nostra" from the film's dialogue, and succeeded in having Macy's stop selling a board game called The Godfather Game. The IACRL boycotted the Ford Motor Company because of its sponsorship of the television show The F.B.I. and its negative references to Italian-Americans as gangsters. Alka Seltzer was boycotted for its "Dat's a Spicy Meatball" ad campaign.
In the spring of 1971, the IACRL announced that it had purchased land for use as a summer camp, known as Camp Unity, in upstate Rosendale, New York. The camp covered 250 acres (1.0 km2) and was open to all underprivileged New York City youth, regardless of ethnic background.
On June 28, 1971, the league held another rally in Columbus Circle. At the rally, Colombo was shot three times in the head by a man who was then immediately shot and killed himself; the blast left Colombo in a coma from which he would never recover (he died on May 22, 1978). Theories abounded as to the motive for the shooting; the most commonly held belief was that other Mafia bosses in New York ordered the hit because they did not like the media attention Colombo and the group were receiving. The organization, at that time believed to number more than 100,000, had effectively disappeared within a year after the shooting.
