Prevalence of Sexual Assault
NEW BLOG POST: Prevalence of Sexual Assault #saam
1 in 4 or 6? Much more.
I grew up privileged in almost every way. Like other young people I assumed that everyone lived a life mostly similar to my own. Growing up and engaging with others has proven that assumption to be false. Repeatedly, sadly.
While this has certainly been true regarding religion, my learning about sexual assault was different, pointed, and very memorable.
Yes, I knew…

Shrimp Scampi Bake
NEW BLOG POST: Shrimp Scampi Bake #foodie
Rating: [rating=6]
As usual, I began with a recipe from Allrecipes.com. This appealed because it was easy. Turns out that it was easier that I anticipated! And the results were awesome.
I had purchased shrimp that needed to be peeled, but was already cleaned. As I started working I noticed that there was a black line and was sort of annoyed that I had paid for cleaned shrimp but hadn’t gotten…

I am no stranger to good scissors. My mother sews with only Gingher and has special words for children and others that touch her Ginghers with anything but fabric! I have several pairs of Ginghers in different sizes and even have two left-handed rotary cutters…and a seam ripper.
BUT, spending money on scissors to cut paper seemed way over the top. So, I avoided purchasing…

In what ways does your past experience inform your present leadership? http://awe.sm/eJ0xJ
I have read some writing from other writers who are either tired of hypervisibility in social media while having an identity that’s marginalized or tired of debating within what they view as a particular community. I mentioned "what they view as a particular community" because at times I am not...
"Have some unwanted sexual attention with your Reuben."
Be aware, when you change, evolve or try something new you will make people very uncomfortable for 2 reasons. First, they will have to adjust how they are with you. Most people are fearful and lazy so they will resent you for this. Secondly, by you changing, especially for what you believe is ‘the better’, you force others to take a look at themselves and the things they would like to change… but change is tough, so they will resent you for making it obvious that they are responsible for their circumstances. Ignore them, and keep growing stronger! In time they will either adjust to the new you, choose to grow stronger themselves, or simply disappear.

A thousand times YES. Everyone deserves to make their own decisions when it comes to their sexual health. Unfortunately not everyone has control in their relationships. Learn more here »

To: Southern Poverty Law Center
Members of our community have been targeted by Cathy Brennan’s Gender Identity Watch. Personal information such as former names, current legal names, and photographs have been compiled and displayed alongside reports describing rapists and batterers of women. As you know, countless others, including members of transgender advocacy groups have reported similar treatment, as well as other alarming behavior, such as Cathy Brennan contacting employers, schools and medical doctors of transgender women and girls, and young men. Cathy Brennan’s tactics are reprehensible, reckless, and irresponsible as they have the potential to embolden violence and harassment of those she targets and to result in job loss and other discrimination informed by the open knowledge of the target’s transgender status. We petition the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to track the activities of Cathy Brennan’s Gender Identity Watch as a hate group in accordance with SPLC’s stated mission.
Sincerely, [Your name]

Secular Woman supports gender equality and affirms that gender expression, sexual orientation, and matters of intimacy are for individuals to determine. We abhor hate, sexism, intolerance, and misogyny. Secular Woman members have teamed up to present a petition opposing the transphobic actions of Cathy Brennan’s Gender Identity Watch. She and her group forward an agenda that is abusive and harmful to transgender women. Their tactics include targeting named individuals. The Gender Identity Watch group include those who intersectional feminists refer to as trans-exclusionary radical feminists (TERFs)––spreading hate and silencing transgender people under the guise of feminism. “The TERFs essentially take the patriarchy to entirely conspiratorial levels where trans women are seen as infiltrators,” explains Veronica Berglyd, author of the blog Purple Noize. “They will gladly reduce a human being to their genitals or to chromosomes or to whatever they find suits them at the moment.” Berglyd adds, “Aside from the complete lack of understanding of human biology, they also claim to be an authority of what identities people are allowed to have. They feel entitled to deny people both their gender identity and their sexual orientation. They will frequently deny cis lesbians who are trans allies the identity as lesbians. Reducing human beings to carefully selected biological properties is a basis of both oppression of women and of racism throughout human history.” “Silencing is one of the techniques that TERFs use, which is ironic as they cry about being silenced every single day. Their silencing technique is to make people scared to death of them,” says Dana Taylor, founder of StopAbuseOnline.org. Taylor has personally experienced silencing in the form of a coordinated attack via her employer. “When we see these kind of attacks but have never experienced them before, it is hard to fully understand the damage it causes. It has caused some to commit suicide,” she says. Secular Woman is an intersectional feminist organization; we reject definitions of feminism that erase transgender people’s identity. Kim Rippere, president of Secular Woman, says, “Gender Identity Watch and related sites work in direct opposition to the vision of Secular Woman; namely, a future in which women––anyone who presents herself as a woman or says she is one––without supernatural beliefs have the opportunities and resources they need to participate openly and confidently as respected voices of leadership in every aspect of society.” “Brennan, and TERFs at large, are one reason people often refuse to label themselves as feminists,” explains Trinity Aodh, member of Secular Woman’s advisory council. “Feminism, which should be about empowering those who are oppressed along the gender spectrum, is instead being used to attack those who are vulnerable. Instead of embracing people whose experiences undoubtedly show the modern need for feminism, she goes out of her way to place their lives in danger.”
We invite fellow feminists and secularists, as well as others concerned, to proactively affirm the inclusion of all women as women. Condemn the toxic ideologies used to rationalize hate, fear, and discrimination based on gender. Stand with us in petitioning the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to track the activities of Cathy Brennan’s Gender Identity Watch as a hate group in accordance with SPLC’s stated mission.
