This is MY body. If I give it to you I want it back. My life is a non-negotiable demand.

Before I am your daughter, your sister, your aunt, niece, or cousin, I am my own person, and I will not set fire to myself to keep you warm.

Every time I hate my body I remember that there are millions of old rich white men who benefit from my self hatred and if there’s one thing I hate, it’s old rich white men so I snap out of that shit instantly cos I ain’t EVER giving them the satisfaction.

Here's a tangible way to support trans youth:

My friend Shannon has a theater company putting on a performance about transgender issues. Afterwards, they're going to be giving these notes to transgender kids who come to the performance. Be a part of supporting and loving them by writing a note.

“We want to give them something that changes the narrative they hear about what it means to be transgender. We want them to know that there are supportive people, all over the world, who are rooting for them and wanting them to thrive.

Solidarity is not a matter of altruism. Solidarity comes from the inability to tolerate the affront to our own integrity of passive or active collaboration in the oppression of others, and from the deep recognition that, like it or not, our liberation is bound up with that of every other being on the planet, and that politically, spiritually, in our heart of hearts we know anything else is unaffordable.

Woman, you carry inside you stories about the wars your ancestors fought and the blood of the witches they burned at the stake. In your womb you cradle magic so powerful you bring life into this world. You may not be with child yet, but you are already pregnant. You are a mother to all the things you have learned, all the wisdom you have grown.

When we profess a vision of a world where a woman is not raped somewhere in the United States every three minutes, where one of every three female children do not experience sexual molestation, where the Mexican female is not the lowest paid worker in the United States– we are not male bashing or hating whites because overall they live a healthier life than we do, we are trying to change the facts of our conditions.

protect girls who have unblended makeup

protect girls who wear the wrong foundation shade

protect girls with uneven eyeliner

protect girls who can only afford to wear dollar store makeup

protect girls who are still getting the hang of makeup

protect girls with “bad” eyebrows

protect girls who are happy with their makeup even though other girls laugh at them

We teach our sweet little girls to be liars and fakers from a young age: No, I’m not hungry. Wow, that feels great. No, I don’t blame you. Yes, I love you. No, I’m fine.

More people are concerned with why women stay in abusive relationships than why men are abusing women

Lady Gaga proves that feminism is about calling out sexual assault statistics for everyone – including men

Gaga has spoken at length about her experience with sexual assault. But this instance is especially important because of how huge the audience is– especially given that Gaga didn’t neglect to call out the wide-reaching effects of sexual violence on men. This is not a single gender issue!
