NYC now requires employers, police and landlords to use trans people's correct names and pronouns

The new policy also prohibits restaurants from requiring men to wear ties in order to be served.

Using a person’s correct name and pronouns should be common sense. Unfortunately, for many people, it’s not. That’s why the New York Commission on Human Rights just implemented a new policy stating the rights of trans people to identify and express themselves however they like.

Here are a couple of points from the document:

It’s illegal to deny someone the use of a single-sex facility (like a bathroom or shelter) because of their sex assigned at birth. 

Another person’s discomfort with a trans person in a single-sex space is “not a lawful reason” to deny the trans person access. 

Employers, police officers and landlords must refer to people using their correct name and pronouns – explicitly including gender-neutral pronouns!! – even if these don’t match a person’s legal ID. 

You can no longer require different dress codes for different genders. For example, a restaurant cannot require only men to wear ties. 

Again, these things should be a given. But because they aren’t everywhere, we need policies like this to lead the way for other communities to become more actively trans-inclusive. It’s not enough to “tolerate” trans people; we need to ensure full affirmation and equality, and this is one step toward doing that.

It really, REALLY bothers me when I hear people frame climate change and other environmental crises as something that everyday, average-ass people are responsible for, and not corporations and entire governments. 

Like literally, how can a regular-ass person ~opt out~ of all damaging behaviors while still being able to function in society? 

You literally can’t. 

The future of our planet is not down to whether or not someone recycles their water bottle. 

It’s down to whether or not governments and corporations decide to quit sucking up all our resources and poisoning the earth with reckless abandon. 

I mean obviously people should still live as cleanly and as sustainably as they can manage where they are and with what they have, but like. THAT isn’t the major issue.

govts and corporations have deliberately put the onus on yr individual choices so the system can continue being as destructive/profitable

God bless this post this pisses me off so much Also this hyper-individualist shift of responsibility is largely an American thing and consumerism is framed as a solution- e.g., buy more shit that’s sustainable! That’ll fix the problem (buy a new, green water bottle! buy a new, green car! buy a new, green whatever-the-fuck that’ll just ultimately produce more waste)!

I took a course in sustainable engineering.

The professor mentioned that even if every private individual in the world were to conserve resources and the environment the ol’ Jimmy Carter way- by turning down the thermostat, recycling your glass and plastics and metals, cut down on luxuries, take shorter showers, etc., it would only get us 10% of the way to where we need to be in order to avoid global catastrophic climate change.

The vast majority of freshwater use is from industry and agriculture. http://www.worldometers.info/water/ 

The vast majority of CO2 emissions is from industrial and electrical generation sites and associated vehicles. http://www3.epa.gov/climatechange/ghgemissions/gases/co2.html

Private individuals hardly make a dent, even in ideal conditions.

I just want Hallmark Christmas movies but with lesbians: 

You’re a hot shot femme reporter stuck in our small town for Christmas when your car breaks down and I’m the soft butch mechanic who owns the only garage. 

I almost asked you to the Winter Ball in high school fifteen years ago, but chickened out, but now we’re both home for Christmas and single and maybe we’ve got a second chance?

You’re a cold-hearted businesswoman and I’m one of Santa’s Elves whose been put on probation and if I can’t teach you the true meaning of Christmas, they’ll never let me back in the North Pole.
