[please reblog]
Catherine Ryan Hyde—one of three estranged biological relatives—has written a new young adult novel that is “transgender” themed.
Her young adult novel is not my issue.
Since the book is about a transman, I leave it up to those fierce individuals whose oppressions she writes…

Mom taught me to keep my friends closer but keep my enemies closer.
Someone should point this out to my dad: Yes, I’m nice to you. No, it does not mean “We’re cool”.
Newbie!

Stephen Fry: Can we settle an important question?
JK Rowling: Yes.
Stephen Fry: How do you pronounce your last name?
JK Rowling: It is Row-ling. As in rolling pin.
Stephen Fry: So if any of you hear someone pronounce her name “Rohw-ling”, you have my permission to hit them over the head with — not with Order of the Phoenix, that would be cruel. Something smaller, like a fridge.

fighttoendure:
She is in the public eye. The LGBT community has taken her in as one of their/our own. She has made a comment that was offensive to some members of said community. If you’re in the public, you’re going to be scrutinized and especially if you’re speaking out for gay rights THAT MUCH MORE SO. That’s all anyone is saying. Own up to it, apologize, let’s move on with...

First and foremost: Welcome to Gorykory!
Second, next post is the 500th. I want it to be special (though I’ll probably accidentally reblog something and fuck that up). Ideas?
you should be nicer! →

janedoe225:
someone can something totally racist, sexist, offensive and just totally fucked up about a marginalized group and you’re expected to be “nice”.
like you can say something terrible like ” i don’t think transwomen are really women” and when someone calls out on your shit you’re expecting them to be nice to you, even though your rubbing your cis...

Me: I first started thinking about sex in 7th grade.
Step-mom: You obviously haven’t had a proper rearing. [joking]
Me: I think I learned everything I know about sex by reading fanfiction. Specifically gay sex. Specifically gay sex between men.
Dad: Which brings us back to “a proper rearing.”

Disgusting comment on an article about armpit hair
This is what we’re up against, everyone: non sequitur arguments, circular reasoning, close-mindedness, pigheadedness.

Aha!
So, spitballing with a friend (ForeverYuna) on our feelings about the new GaGa song, she managed to put into words the thing that bugged me the most about the song that I couldn’t figure out:
It’s so damn shallow!
Her songs typically have a fair amount of depth to them. This? It’s the same old “Be who you are!” type of song we see all the time. It’s just so...

Aaaaand Mildly Underwhelmed, but Optimistic.

I seriously need to learn (or at least get good) with screengrabbing replies. This whole copy/paste thing just looks clunky.
Any tips my loves?
spectrumnaut replied to your post: YAY!
Thank you! Sorry! I thought I was already following you! haha.
I thought you were too haha. I was kinda surprised to see your name pop up. Better late than never? :p
