silverfuck asked: It's not inherently binarist, but I don't trust a lot of the research being done not to be directed by people with binarist ideas. What I meant by mentioning people whose gender hasn't always been the same was: what changes? Considering that you agree with the OP of the PDD (that brains have a gender), do you then believe that the brain changes?
And you said there was...

genderbitch asked: I can't remember if James Bellringer's work in the UK treating agender/neutrois trans folks was used to create data for research on nonbinary trans folk at all. That would've been a smart idea to do that though. :o
aaronitron asked: Yeah to claim that "gender identity" being synonymous with "sex identity" since 1966 is simplistic. Different researchers use different semantics to express what they're talking about. People still use "sex identity" as being distinct from "gender identity." In the research looking at gender identity, e.g., one's feeling as butch/femme/other it is...
silverfuck asked: "There’s absolutely research definitively showing that gender identity is biological and innate."
Really? I'm not asking to be a douche, I've just never come across any research that most positively proves that gender identity is biological and innate. And... where does that leave gender-fluid people? Polygender people? Non-binary people? People who now...

perrytheplatypusssy:
HOW CAN YOU BE GAY? BOYS ARE SO HOT?! and im like ew i hate penises though.
Hating penises doesn’t make you a lesbian. And you’re not a lesbian if you’re also into non-binary-female-identified FAAB people. Trans women can be lesbians too.
aaronitron asked: No, that research does not exist and it does not even make any sense. Sex is biologically based, yes. You have you manifested sex (what is physical such as genitalia, chromosomal makeup, hormones, gonads, etc.) and you have sex identity, which have clear implications to brain biology (a lot to do with hormones during in-vitro development).

feministslut:
They all pretty much go like “well I like this culture, we live in a global society so people should expect us to share cultures. Stop being so fucking sensitive” or my personal favorite “my culture is boring/white people don’t have culture so I found a culture I like. I appreciate it, stop whining.” The main theme among these post, minus being fucking ignorant, is that it is...
unnomjuste asked: I responded to your post about when to disclose to a potential partner and I don't think there was enough space for me to be clear about what I meant. I think it's important to disclose as early as is reasonable to avoid the "why didn't you tell me sooner!?" questions (that happened to me in my last relationship) and potential surprise. People can do nasty things when...

Clubbing: When To Disclose?
My friends and I went out to the club tonight (Boston area - Jamaica Plain - Milky Way / Bella Luna - Dyke Night - woot!). I’ve decided that I need to end my 12-year relationship: we’ve just grown apart, and it’s for the best. We’ve broken up and gotten back together a whole bunch of times now, and each time, it’s been the guilt pulling me back in. Anyways,...
Can I tell you a secret? Sometimes when I'm...

Women are going to have abortions whether they're...
stfuconservatives:
Seriously. Making abortion illegal, or expensive, or hard to get won’t stop women (and other uterus-bearers) from having them. Abortion will never stop happening. It can be prevented with education and birth control, but there will never be a 0.0% abortion rate. Sorry, but that’s the truth. Unintended pregnancies happen. We need to keep abortion safe, legal and available to...

Imagine going away for a nice getaway to celebrate your anniversary, only to return home and find that your dream house had been burned down by an arsonist, and that the word “QUEERS” had been spray-painted on your garage.
That was the reality that Carol Ann and Laura Stutte faced several months ago, when they returned to their Tennessee home only to find that it had been burned down, with...

But just because he can eloquently defend his position doesn’t make him any better of a person than someone who makes women in the kitchen jokes. If anything, it makes him worse. Because he’s not just ignorant or low-brow. He’s fully aware of the societal implications of the current differences between men and women, and just chooses to ignore them to better fit...
Olympia: Beware of rapist Andrew Oak

constantrage:
Someone named Andrew Oak is moving from Michigan to Olympia soon. Andrew Oak is a rapist. He has been accused by multiple people of rape. He is likely to attempt to integrate himself into the radical/queer community here. Spread the word, I don’t want rapists in my community.
