ALL Women ARE Women.

Read the National Geographic special issue on Gender. There’s whole articles on this with the sources and everything included in there but I’ll sum up for you: 

People (by which I mean actual scientists who are qualified to do this) did studies on how people’s brains are formed/shaped. Male and female brains show various slight differences. They are distinguishable. 

Now here’s where it gets interesting. They looked at scans of transgender people’s brains. What do you think they found? 

They found that their brains most closely followed the patterns of the gender that they said they were rather than the gender they were assigned.  

Get that? 

So if a woman was assigned male at birth because she had a penis and they scanned her brain, they found her to have the brain shape expected in a woman. It wasn’t exactly the same but it was clearly much closer to female than to male. 

Once those people started hormone therapy and everything, the brain shape grew even closer to the gender they said they were (the gender that they ARE) until it was pretty much identical. You couldn’t tell the difference except yep, that’s a female brain now regardless of whether she was assigned male at birth. 

It is thought to be this that causes dysphoria in the transgender people who suffer it: since their brain is a female brain (or vice versa) making them female it causes a disconnect between that and what their eyes see when they look at their body. 

So there ya are. Science proves transgender people are the damn gender they say they are. 

Can I have my $1000 dollars now or do you wanna pay it to the National Geographic so they can keep up this education, I don’t mind which?

Why Trump Can't Answer Questions About Anti-Semitism

Presidents are supposed to show empathy for their anxious constituents. But when it comes to anti-Semitism, the only person Trump shows empathy for is himself.

Seeing this hashtag made me so happy. Being Salvadorian-American, people say my last name and throw out the American and tell me this isn’t my country. As much as I will forever be proud having my Salvadorian roots, I am also proud of being an American. Why? Because my parents came to this country knowing their kids and future kids were going to have a better life here than in El Salvador. Little did they know that being a minority here in this country still shakes up my life yet I appreciate everything they’ve done. Neither of my parents went to a university, but they pushed me to study. Both of my parents want me to have a better life than what they’ve had/have. Why do you think #hispanicgirlsunited is a hashtag? Because 2015 is understanding that being a Hispanic girl is being a double minority and we stand together educating the world what it’s like being in our shoes. #hispanicgirlsunited because I am proud of where my family came from and it is what motivates me to be who I am today and in the future.

Feel free to tell your story! <3

Don’t you fucking dare tell me it’s not okay to punch a nazi when the rise of anti-semitism is getting worse and worse. 

[amandacumba-blog]

Y'all keep telling me that Trump has nothing to do with it, yet there's been a sharp increase in these incidents with his rise to power

Betsy DeVos and the Importance of Separation of Church and State

Betsy DeVos and the Importance of Separation of Church and State

One topic that really stuck with me about history lessons in high school was the issue of the separation of Church and State. The reason I recall it so well is that it gave a sound explanation for how the separation actually advanced the Church in the America. For those are unaware or cannot remember, here is a quick refresher: When the Church was funded for and taken care of by the State, there…

Elizabeth warren was silenced by the GOP for quoting Coretta Scott King…….. during black history month…………

[berniesrevolution]

Bernie Sanders and other Dem senators read the same letter that Elizabeth Warren was silenced for, daring the Republicans to do the same to them. Then called out Republicans for the double standard when they didn’t AND IT WAS GLORIOUS!

This is the letter by Coretta Scott King that Mitch McConnell banned Elizabeth Warren from reading on the Senate floor

Elizabeth Warren, who occupies a windswept patch of real estate in Donald Trump’s brain, was reading a letter written by Coretta Scott King in opposition to Sessions’ nomination for a Federal judgeship. That was in 1986, and he was voted down at least in part due to allegations of racism.
