“I also thank Angelina for dressing in hijab while she visited not just Iraqi refugees but refugees in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Not only did she look good in it, she showed respect and appreciation for their culture and religion and made sure that the focus was not on her looks but rather her mission.”

Kentucky’s state Senate has passed a bill that would ban transgender students from using school bathrooms and other gendered facilities that correspond with their gender identity.

The bill made a comeback this past week when it passed in a committee after a surprise second vote that came with little advance notice. The Senate passed it 27-9 and is moving it to the Democrat-controlled House, where it will probably (and hopefully) die.

"What an embarrassment the Kentucky Senate has made of our commonwealth today," said Fairness Campaign director Chris Hartman in a statement Friday. "The chamber has made headlines prioritizing a bill in its Education Committee that does nothing but further marginalize one of Kentucky’s most vulnerable populations. The Senate has acted shamefully this week."

Conservative lawmakers in Texas and Florida have also introduced bills this year criminalizing transgender people’s restroom use, claiming that trans-inclusive policies make it easier for sexual predators to sneak into women’s bathrooms.

In reality, transgender people are at a starkly heightened risk of being the victims of violence when they use public facilities. And with hundreds of trans-inclusive equal accommodation ordinances around the country in force for decades, there has never been a single verified instance of someone “pretending” to be trans to gain bathroom access to and harass a cisgender person.

Kentucky. Why. Get your head in the game.

I’d be fucking happy if I even lived in a country that allowed me to get accidentally lost in Paris. Fucking New Zealand, surrounded by sea.

Seriously guys, wearing a war bonnet without having to suffer blood, sweat and tears for it is so disrespectful to all the servicemen who have sacrificed their lives for this country.

I have four lessons for you today:

1) YOU HAVE NO AUDIENCE

You have a target audience, but you have no true audience just yet. No one knows this story. No one knows its characters. No one cares. Not a single person, other than you, cares about this story right now.

That being...

I was helping carry in the groceries and usually my mom would say like “what a good girl” but I had a talk with her about not liking that because I’m nb and tonight she said to my dad “what a great person we have here. Offspring. Fruit of my loins” and she just kept spouting silly gender neutral terms and it made me SO HAPPY.

apparently e.l. james called former child star mara wilson (matilda) a “sad fuck” for critiquing the 50shades books a while ago and now there’s a feud. i love it.
