Be aware of your Pride and what exactly it is you’re proud of and who you’re throwing under the bus to get that pride.

Love this minus the “It’s almost like he’s not LGBT at all”

[castironjackelope]

That’s the point though- it’s calling out assimilationism and respectability politics and how the mainstream gay rights movement panders to cishet expectations while throwing the rest of us under the bus.

Ok, I get it now, thanks

how did my ancestors survive the brutal unforgiving wilderness when I get anxiety sweats from going to Target

[amporazz]

to be fair im sure your ancestors would have the exact same reaction going to a Target

[iesika]

In the brutal unforgiving wilderness false positives cost nothing and false negatives are expensive. You’re better off being afraid of something that can’t hurt you than not afraid of something that can hurt you.

In a world where we mostly aren’t in danger, day to day, as long as we don’t play in traffic or jump off something, that’s no longer quite as adaptive.

We got our anxiety from a long, unbroken line of ancestors who were scared enough to survive, and pass on those genes! 

It helps me sometimes to think about that at night, when I can’t sleep because my heart is pounding over something like “what if my usually reliable alarm clock doesn’t work in the morning for some reason and I’m late for work and lose my job and everyone hates me.” There’s nothing wrong with me, I just have a lot of extra, unused run-from-tigers juice that my grandparents left me.

“Unused run-from-tigers juice.”

I love that.

I saw this on facebook and honestly yeah

[maximumgayce]

ok this has become a somewhat popular post, and I just want to add on because I realise this just says about dating, but it extends to friendships too. just be aware of this and remind the person of their worth, yeah? Even if it’s just a friend and not a partner

Gender: a visual guide.

When most people think of the gender spectrum, they think in terms of blue and pink, and maybe some purpley stuff. That model isn’t much of a spectrum and is rather a scale of femininity vs masculinity, when in reality gender is only sometimes on those terms, and is a huge, multi-dimensional concept that simply can’t fit on a single line. At this point, I would like to propose the term “gender sphere” rather than “gender spectrum” to emphasise its absolute complexity.

EDIT: There is much confusion about the implications of the axises of the Gender Sphere. I promise I am not trying to rewrite genetics (even though gender =/= genetics anyway). It is very simply the depiction of a 3D space on a 2D surface. Nothing more.
