The women all reply with āActually enjoy my fucking life in safety for ONE day.ā
JUST LET ME BE.
Reblog if you are an asexual positive blog, believe asexuals exist, and are willing and able to create a safe space for your asexual friends
As an Asexual myself, YES
As someone who is now 99% sure they might be aceā¦
YES. THIS. BOTH SIDES NEED TO SEE THIS.
As an asexual, I deal with this a lot, and itās not okay :/
As an asexual, REBLOG YOU COWARDS
ASEXUALS ARE REAL AND 1000% VALID AND FUCK EVERYBODY ELSE WHO THINKS THEY ARENāT
MY BEST FRIEND IS ACE, SHE DEALS WITH THIS SHIT A LOT AND ITāS NOT OK!
Be happy!! There are people who support you too!!!!
!!!!
Friendly to all lgbtq+
Aces and Aros are part of the Lgtbq+ community and if you donāt think so get off my blog and never come back!!
All lgbtq+ people are safe on my blog!
okay guys, thereās something we need to talk about more..Ā
netflix just released the filmĀ āek ladki ko dekha toh aisa lagaā which is an indian movie about a girl whoās into girls and how she gets the courage to come out and face her family and be with the woman she loves. sound familiar? yeah, i know itās the basic plot of most hollywood lgbtq movies but thatās not the point.Ā
this is literally the first indian movie iāve seen on a famous platform, accessible by anyone, that actually represents the lgbtq community in all its beauty and love and affection, rather that scorning or mocking it.Ā
the movie is beautiful and the scenes and the fluff and the cute couple and the emotions just make it so worth watching, and thatās not all.
iām an indian bisexual teenager and i wouldāve been so happy to have been exposed to a movie like this when i was younger. if i had seen this kind of portrayal in the film industry, i doubt that i wouldāve been the afraid young girl i was and i wouldāve had the courage to do what the main characters did and just BE MYSELF.Ā
all i hope is that someone sees this movie, some little girl out there sees it and knows that she is not alone, that she is not abnormal. with a topic such as this, which has been treated as taboo for decades now in my country (still is kinda), when it is actually being represented and being represented well, i canāt help but wanna scream about it from the rooftops.Ā
also just look at this adorableness:
anywho, REBLOG, SIGNAL BOOST THIS BECAUSE IT IS SO IMPORTANT.
anonymous leaked bolsonaroāsĀ private info including his credit card number and someone on twitter bought a whole ass macbook pro with it. yes. a person bought an macbook pro with the presidentās credit card. this country really isnāt for beginners

āCorporations supporting things like BLM and Pride is largely performative and shouldnāt be overly praised or focused on. Theyāre just trying to do what they think will earn them moneyā andĀ āCorporations openly showing support for things like BLM and Pride are incredibly importantā and not mutually exclusive ideas.
Corporation support is not the source of social change, itās the visible indication of it. A mall covered in rainbow flags withĀ āpride month sales!ā is nothing that makes LGBT people more accepted, nor do tweets from companies about supporting the BLM protests do anything to stop police violence, but they DO show the shift in public mindset. Corporations donāt take risks. They donāt make bold statements that they feel are unpopular or will lose them money or support. Theyāre a litmus test for when a statement or symbol that has been taboo becomes a commonly held belief.Ā
When a corporation makes these kinds of statements, it means that the people out there fighting every day for these movements are having an effect. Their fight is causing a change in social perception to the point where businesses who carefully choose every single thing they say can post about solidarity with protesters and feel confidant that they are saying something that represents the feelings and beliefs of the majority. A mall being covered in Pride flags is a sign that the country will accept a mall filled with Pride flags. That those working to make social and cultural change are succeeding.Ā
This this this this FUCKING THIS.
Weāre all having āhard conversationsā about racism, police brutality, and #BlackLivesMatterĀ I hope.Ā
Youāve probably noticed that detractors often use the same āracist talking pointsā in response. Hereās a researched and sourced guide to help you answer, for the times you may get stuck.

Thank you for these. I got some truths to tell people and this will help me
being a female means needing to see 10 different doctors to get a proper diagnosis because they always think youāre exaggerating and/or lying
define proper diagnosis. I mean, does that just mean the diagnosis you want?
no :) it means going to 10 different doctors who disbelieved your symptoms until the 11th found cysts on your ovaries :) which may mean infertility :) sit on a cactus :)
I call bullshit
Of course you do. Like the first 10 doctors. š
I call bullshit on the story. If you think you have an issue you should see a specialist not just your PCP.
Like the 4 āspecialistsā I saw for the crippling numbness in my face and legs I had for over a year while they told me it was āstressā? When it was finally found that I had scars on my brain and spine? Those āspecialistsā weāre male neurologist who wouldnāt give me an MRI because āwomen stress too muchā. Go fuck yourself.
MY SPINE WAS BROKEN FOR 2 YEARS BECAUSE MY DOCTORS TOLD ME I JUST HAD BAD CRAMPS AND REFUSED TO TAKE XRAYS. FUCK YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. WHEN WILL BOYS REALIZE THEIR EXPERIENCES ARENT STANDARD???? I ALSO LOVE THIS IDEA THAT YOU CAN JUST GO TO A SPECIALIST WHENEVER YOU WANT LOL IF OUR PCP DOESNT BELIEVE US WHEN WE TELL THEM OUR SYMPTOMS THEY ARENT GONNA REFER US TO A SPECIALIST YOU FUCKING MOLDY WALNUT
My parents began noticing something large in my throat, saw a specialistā¦.Guess what? Told me to lose some weight..even though I wasnāt overweight. I would have my period for weeks at a time. Was told that it was teenage hormones and stress.
Two fucking years later I attempted suicide they ran a battery of tests as required and bam! They find out that I have untreated Hashimotoās. The āthingā was a goiter. Possible symptoms of an untreated thyroid disease is the goiter, unexplained weight gain, and depression. All they had to do was test my blood, but they said young people donāt have thyroid problems. š
-Allie
Ten years ago, my motherāwho is a pretty tough cookieāstarted feeling both ridiculously wired, anxious, and incredibly emotional. Every doctor she saw told her she was going through early menopause, even though she was still menstruating. Her health declined to point where she was barely sleeping, losing weight, and crying constantly, which was a huge red flag because my mother never cries. Finally, she went to see another doctor 2.5 hours away who referred her to an endocrinologist. And what did the endocrinologist say? He diagnosed her with one of the most advanced cases of Graveās Disease he had even seen, and said if she had gone just a few more months without being treated, she could have FUCKING DIED.Ā
Also, it turned out that her thyroid levels had been moving out of the normal range in a progressive pattern for years, but nobody bothered to look at her past test results until after the diagnosis. They would just do a test, see that it wasĀ āin the normal rangeā and leave it at that. She could have caught it before she even had symptoms, instead of basically being accused of having hysteria.Ā
i had a brain aneurysm/hemorrhage ten years ago, doctors still tell me im faking my disability BECAUSE YOU CAN TOTALLY FAKE LIMITED MOVEMENT OF THE LEFT SIDE
My sister had intercranial hypertension which was causing headaches, dizzy spells and loss of vision, and you know what the hospital told her? She was being a hysterical girl and making it up. A few weeks later she spent roughly a month in hospital and had several lumbar punctures to relieve her RECORD HIGH spinal pressure that was causing so much strain on her brain and optic nerves she was being sent blind.
Everytime I see this post (and itās been a good 5/6 times), it has different stories and experiences of women who have been horribly mistreated by doctors and it just blows my mind that this is so big. Itās absolutely disgusting how terribly women are treated in the medical world and something needs to be done about that.
my friend lea had back pain, then pain in her legs and feet, and then numbness. despite seeing 7 different doctors over 2 years, by the time they found the cancer it was inoperable. chemo and radiation didnāt work. the cancer spread. she died and left behind a 5 year old daughter.
A few years ago I would go through spells where I literally could not stand on my own and I couldnāt get out of bed. I would be freezing and too weak to eat. I would keep having heart palpitations as well. I got up the money to go to a clinic and they told me it was just stress and to basically just work on chilling out. I saved up money for a few weeks to do this and I pretty much get a āchill outā from them. As time went on it got worse, most noticeably the heart palpitations were happening almost constantly. I went again to a different clinic and was told it was normal and that it was probably stress. They did no tests, and they told me it would ājust go awayā. Two weeks later I ended up collapsing going down some stairs, and at the hospital it was discovered that I had such severe anemia that my heart could barely keep up with trying to get enough oxygen to my body. I had developed left ventricular hypertrophy (my heart muscle is too big) and because of them ignoring me and dismissing me Iām at a much higher risk of heart attacks and stroke now.
I went to the doctor with severe intermittent pain in my upper right stomach area that was so bad I had to miss school. Despite the fact that my period has been on a regular 3 month cycle for years, and I still had two months left until my period, my doctor told me it was period related cramps and or indigestion. 2 months later Iām in the hospital getting my gallbladder removed. It was so obstructed that there was gangrene developing my my system.
Soā¦everyone whoās given me shit for that one post (about medicine and equal treatment and shit) can just read this because Iām sick of defending my case.
i know this post is already long but hereās a pretty good article about how gender bias in medicine is quite literally killing women. it focuses a lot on heart attacks but it applies to all areas of medicine
So many situations in movies where thereās something scary happening and the women are in hysterics but the men are completely calm.. doesnāt seem realistic at all
have u ever seen a man be minorly inconveniencedā¦.catastrophic
Finding love as a transgender person
Marianne Oakes has shared an amazing collection of transgender love stories over at GenderGP.Ā
Here are a few of them.Ā
Marianne wrote:
The myth that trans people struggle to find love is damaging to our future generations, if trans youth or worse still, their parents believe this, then the impact can be loss of hope. My experience is pretty much like all the lovely comments here, letās stop the myth, xx
More here!
These stories help so much. Not just because of the trans people find love just like everyone else, which is an important message on its own, but because there are some stories of other people who didnāt know since they were kids and this is so fucking reassuring!!!

āJust sharing: I came out to my wife before we were married aged 19. Last December we celebrated 36 years of Marriage. Being trans does not stop us finding love, trans youth need to hear this, other couples need to hear this. Feel free to share your love story to help others, xxā
tweet by user naomi_t_81 in reply to OakesMarianne:
āOur 15th year together, the 4th since i started transitioning. It hasnāt been easy but I love this woman more each day and work to be the best possible version of myself always.ā with a picture of the couple smiling at the camera attached.
tweet by user Odessa_Genysis in reply to OakesMarianne:
āMy wife came out almost two years ago, at age 35. She had no idea she was trans until I jokingly had her try on my Halloween costume and things unfolded from there. Weāve been together 5 years and I donāt plan on letting her go. šā
tweet by user Crow_Eira in reply to OakesMarianne:
āTold my fiancĆ© āwhat if Iām a guy?ā a few years back. I was crying and scared. He said āthen youāre a guy.ā We are now married and Iām a guy.ā
tweet by user amberjay85 in reply to OakesMarianne:
āI came out to my wife the week of our 6th wedding anniversary and we only become stronger in the nearly 2 years since then as I no longer have to hide this part of who I am.ā with a picture of the couple smiling at the camera attached.
tweet by user Yarrlrene in reply to OakesMarianne:
āI came out to my future wife on our second date. It turned out not to be the showstopper I feared. 19 years of marriage, three kids and a transition later and weāre still awesome together.ā
tweet by user our_trans_life in reply to OakesMarianne:
āAfter being married to my lovely wife Kelly for 10 years, I found the strength to come out to her. Now 15 months later, we are stronger and happier than ever before. We are closer and more connected than I could have ever imagined. This is all thanks to Kelly for being amazing.ā

i came out to my spouse as nonbinary when weād been together for many years. weāre coming up on our 11th dating anniversary and 5th wedding anniversary now. he makes sure all the people in his life including his stuffy professional coworkers donāt misgender me. anyway, trans people can, do, should and will find people who love the crap out of them!
name one native american intellectual off the top of your head, name one native american actor or actress off the top of your head, name one native american senator, one native american news anchor, or an author or a tv personality or a singer or a poet or a comedian, name a single native american teacher youāve had, can you? probably notĀ
ok so now think of one native american cartoon character you know of or a sports team relating to native americans whether itās their actual name or their team logo, or a town you live in or near with a ānativeā name bet a lot of these things came to you right away i bet you didnāt even have to thinkĀ
needing native representation in media, education and government are not decoy issues, the commercialization and appropriation of native cultures are not decoy issues, the lack of native representation is institutional oppression at workĀ
White people specifically need to reblog this, I donāt CARE if it makes you uncomfortableāthatās the point. Listen to Native voices about Native issues PLEASE
Read these notes

Allllllllll the love to fic writers right now, past and present. I don't think I would have slept in the last week without ao3 (all the love to creators and keepers of our own archive!) and a story to calm my brain and remind me of love. Y'all are heroes, and I am endlessly grateful.
