About
For the Love of Language. Please, call me A.
I am a geeky linguist and an anglophile. This blog is half fun, half serious, and a third roleplaying (and that's not a maths error). Feel free to talk to me. I only bite if you ask.

Hello. Are you ready for the story?

im pro choice i really am
but i refuse to chill with the main stream pro choicers until they acknowledge that i too, as a man, can get pregnant and have a baby
because really saying that “woman can do what they want with their bodies” is just reinforcing the idea that im a woman
which is called cissexism
and im kinda tired of being viewed as a woman simply because i have a uteri
cis girls can do what they please with their bodies but i would like to too ok??
ps. yes its harder for me to get birth control and all that jazz cause of this cissexism thing so yeah include my minority group too? this is kinda a cry for help include me in your liberation rather then angry trans person which is what most people assume
This is important!
We are alienating people. People who are just as affected by an issue, and even less represented.

When your friend gets insulted and the best you can say is
I’m pretty sure the point of the gif is not to make me crave candy corn, but— alas— that is what it’s doing.

“He is rigid and a homophobic. He said, ‘I want a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage,’ and they said, ‘Well, what about the people who are already married?’ And he said, ‘Well, they would be nullified.’ I mean what is, what’s human, what’s kind about that? We’re all human beings, we all know or love somebody who’s gay or lesbian so what the hell is that about? To me it’s startling and borders on disgust.”
Former US Senator Al Simpson, (R-Wyo.) on Rick Santorum. In 2011, Simpson emailed me this statement on HB 74, a bill to ban recognition of same-sex marriage in Wyoming:
“I can’t imagine anything more inhuman, insensitive and unfair. Wyoming people believe in getting the government out of their lives. We cherish the precious right of privacy, and the precious right to be left alone. Why can’t we extend that to all our other fellow human beings?”
If the GOP adopted that line of thinking nationally, it would be a radical step forward.
Though Simpson voted for the Defense of Marriage Act [DOMA] in 1996, he has since supported marriage equality. Good on him for calling out Santorum’s homophobia.

Guerrilla Girls are an anonymous group of feminists devoted to fighting against sexism within the visual fine art world internationally. Started in New York City in 1985 to protest gender and racial inequality in the art world, members are known for the gorilla masks they wear to keep their anonymity.
See more of their posters here. I just read about them in an article and thought they were awesome.
