Why Equality Isn’t Enough and Our New Name
Like many trans people, we have decided to change our name. We are changing “equality” to “educational”. Why? Because equality just isn’t enough. Equality means that trans students would have the same access to the broken education system as their peers, a system that we would rather see restructured and improved as a whole than see ourselves assimilated to. Equality means that the most marginalized groups - the low-income queer trans youth of color facing various other forms of oppression - won’t get the support they need. Limiting our visions for the future to equality means that we are complicit in the oppression of others. We, as an organization, do not condone any of these measures. That is why we are changing our name to Trans Student Educational Resources.
What we do support is educating our community and teaching trans activists how to be effective organizers. We advocate for educational justice for trans students in school. We care about all marginalized communities and realize that granting equality will not be enough to stop oppression.
Keeping our old acronym TSER, we will be changing all of our information to Trans Student Educational Resources.

White American Men: When we get married, I'm going to name you after me in the tradition of how my ancestors have done our children, dogs, and slaves. I'll be offended if you resist.
Black American Men: When we get married, I'm going to name you after my ancestors' slave owners. I'll be offended if you resist.
Men in general who believe in this "taking my name" business: You are my property. I must make it known to the world, mark you like i did my appliances, electronics, and school supplies. I'll be offended if you resist.

GUYS COLORADO NEEDS SOME HELP
There is a bill about to be passed called Amendment 67 that is the ban on ALL abortions. THIS INCLUDES IF THE MOTHER WOULD DIE OR IF SHE WAS RAPED. THIS BILL ALSO CAN MAKE POLICE INSTIGATE ALL NON-LIVE BIRTHS (MISCARRIAGE/STILLBORN).
If you want more information, the article is [here] and they have an indigogo page [here] to help fund the stop of Amendment 67.
TUMBLR PLEASE BLOW THIS UP. PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU
Guys. This is my home. I’ve lived here my whole life, and I’ve never been ashamed to be a Coloradan. We just took a huge step and legalized equal marriage, but now they’re threatening us with this huge step backward. PLEASE spread this like wildfire and save my home from becoming a shithole. Thank you.
destroy the idea that clothing has gender
I just read an interesting article about a study where a group of people (all of whom had at least 1 child living with them) were polled on their opinions on vaccines and their intent to vaccinate. Then they were showed different 'ads' that showed information pulled from the cdc website. One group was shown a presentation disproving the vaccine-autism link, one shown a picture-less presentation about the risk of disease when not vaccinated, one shown pictures of children sick with preventable diseases (measles, mumps, and rubella), and one told the story of a kid who got really sick after contracting measles from another kid in the hospital. Afterwards they were polled again and it turns out the people who had been originally against vaccination would either not change their opinions at all or be MORE against vaccination. Incredible. There is no reasoning with these people. http://m.motherjones.com/environment/2014/02/vaccine-denial-psychology-backfire-effect
How do you feel about the photos circulating lately of the United States flag being burned after the shooting in St. Louis? Being raised in an Air Force family all my life, I am trying so hard to ignore the knee jerk reaction that I was taught about that kind of symbol and focus on the actual, real issue that sparked an action like that in the first place. What do you think?
I think the unjust loss of human life is more important and upsetting than the burning of an inanimate object. I’ve never been very patriotic, but these days I don’t exactly feel safe or proud of this country. I doubt Mike Brown or Vonderrick Myers family shed any tears over a burning flag. Maybe the American Flag will feel more like a symbol of peace, freedom and justice when it stops being open season on black people. Black lives matter. But for some, not more than a flag. That’s the problem.
I don’t know who this chick is… but +1 for you!
I second this.

As I suspected some anti-feminism and racist asshole took this picture about feminism and turned it into some racist bullshit.
That woman on these pictures only contributed to the “Why I need feminism” signs and now we have this picture of her with a racist sign.
spread this correction like wildfire.

Raising Racists: The Socialization of White Children in the Jim Crow South by Kristina DuRocher
White southerners recognized that the perpetuation of segregation required whites of all ages to uphold a strict social order — especially the young members of the next generation. White children rested at the core of the system of segregation between 1890 and 1939 because their participation was crucial to ensuring the future of white supremacy. Their socialization in the segregated South offers an examination of white supremacy from the inside, showcasing the culture’s efforts to preserve itself by teaching its beliefs to the next generation.
In Raising Racists: The Socialization of White Children in the Jim Crow South, author Kristina DuRocher reveals how white adults in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries continually reinforced race and gender roles to maintain white supremacy.

I was recently thinking about this topic because of the whole lesbian spermbank incident. Those women suggest that raising their Black child is difficult because they live in a white racist community. I don’t doubt this. But why did they originally plan on raising a white child in a racist community in the first place? Like, that’s not okay either. Of all the things people try to shield their white children from, they seem to be totally okay with their children drowning in whiteness and overt racism.
It also reminds me of this scene at the grocery store between a Black woman and a white guy many weeks ago. I think he may have almost ran her over or something (I walked up after it had already begun so I’m unsure), and the Black woman was going off… cursing him out and he had his whole family in the car. He at first stayed calm, saying the lady shouldn’t be cursing because he had kids in the car. But after a while they both were at each other. I was totally on the guy’s side because they lady was going off and making a scene and just doing the absolute most. But before the white guy pulls off though, he yells “WELFARE CHAMP!!!” out the window.
Now, if it’s not okay for your children to hear curse words from a random stranger, how in the world is it okay for your children to hear overt racism from their dad!?? their fucking dad.. the one that’s supposed to guide them.
It just makes me think how normal racism is for white kids to grow up in. Like, at least racism is around all the time, and as a Black kid, my parents would abhorring it.. not upholding it.
It’s like no matter how thoroughly we change the media and education in schools, all little Cody and Emily have to do is listen to the words coming out of their parents mouth to pick up white supremacy.
Anyways, I’m really interested in this book.
Our entire economy is socialized. The subsidies, the rules, the laws, the enforcement.
For someone to use “socialism” as a derogatory remark for what America might become, clearly has no idea about the country or the word “socialism”, or the definition of words, in general.
no but imagine
Harry Potter as a tv show
sort of like Game of Thrones
where each season is a book
and each episode is a chapter
everything could be fleshed out
we would have everyone’s back story
and we would have HUNDREDS of hours of Harry Potter material
No but i want this so bad its not a joke
