Once you start to speak, people will yell at you. They will interrupt you, put you down and suggest it’s personal. And the world won’t end. And the speaking will get easier and easier. And you will find you have fallen in love with your own vision, which you may never have realized you had. And you will lose some friends and lovers, and realize you don’t miss them. And new ones will find you and cherish you…And at last you’ll know with surpassing certainty that only one thing is more frightening than speaking your truth. And that is not speaking.

The Trans Lifeline got so many donations in the past 36 hours, its server crashed

Trump’s administration announced on Wednesday that it was reversing guidelines put in place by Obama to protect transgender students in public schools.

Right away, people put their wallets to work, eager to throw their weight behind groups working to help and defend trans kids.

In just 36 hours, the Trans Lifeline — a crisis hotline “by and for” the transgender community — received around $51,000 in donations, Trans Lifeline Director of Communication André Pérez said in an email Thursday. It was a deluge of support so profound, it crashed the site’s server. Read more (2/23/17 3:46 PM)

Watch: Serena Williams just masterfully defended herself against a manipulative reporter and gave us all a world class lesson in self love at the same time

There are 101 ways this exchange could’ve gone differently. However, Williams’ concise directive, “You should apologize,” did more than demand kindness. It demanded accountability for rudeness. Well done. This is truly the perfect lesson in “How to respond to respond rude people in 2017.”

Personal growth becomes so addictive once you realize that it’s always possible to improve your experience of being.

Girls who wear makeup get the reputation of being either insecure or vain but atleast we mind our own business. Girls who don’t wear makeup always running around looking for a pat on the back for being regular. They will literally stop you mid cat eye to remind you of how makeup is too much work and they rather be natural. BITCH NOBODY CARES.

I keep seeing this fucking argument about trans people using bathrooms like “Well if that had been an option for me back in the day I totally would’ve signed up as a ‘trans-whatever’ to get into the girls’ locker room back in high school”  (Yeah, the fuckwit on FB I saw earlier actually said ‘trans-whatever’).

Like, you really, genuinely think that you, as a 16 year old presumably straight teenage boy would have changed your name, requested everyone you know call you by different pronouns, changed your entire wardrobe and look, went to school presenting yourself as a girl, dealt with the bullshit you would likely have gotten from your parents, family, friends, classmates, teachers, doctors, neighbors, people on the street, and rearranged your entire life…

Because you maybe, might have possibly caught a glimpse of a titty in the locker room?

Yeah, it’s clearly the trans people we should be worried about.

I always find it interesting that they seem to think that declaring “Given the opportunity I absolutely would have been a sexual predator” is a defense of their position.

I am just going to save this, modify pronouns as needed, and use it as a response to this. Forever.
