when men open doors for me
yearning for my smileand my lover cups my hips, pulling me to her
whispering “mine”and
when my mother looked at my skirt and said “you’re not going out in that”
and my father said I was dead to him,
an embarrassment to the familyand they gave him a job instead of me,
and again, and again,and when they spoke over me, boys and beards alike,
wrote their words and theories on my skin
called me hysterical, unreliable, psychotic,and
the psychologist asked me what underwear I was wearing,
and the doctor told me to get undressed
while another refused to treat my impure body at alland strange men pulled at my crotch and my breasts, groping, reaching, tearing,
or the taxi driver said I could pay with sex
and I ran like hell
stumbling in the darkness
wishing I’d worn flatsand their fists hit my chest, and my body crumpled
they call me slut, whore, cunt
and everyone blamed me, anyway.And you, my sisters, you closed the doors to shelters
and my bruises healed aloneorganised conferences and
wrote books
while my words went unheardand you told me die tranny bitch
called yourself radicaland never once realised how much
you are like the men
you hate.

“Amercia” is one reason why the Romney campaign needs a new copy editor. Here’s another.
that parallel structure will get you every time
and so will your family members apparently
That is not the Amercia of my dreams.

Also it looks like there’s a kinky three-way going on in that stylized “R.”

First look into Series 7 episode 11 of Doctor Who.
We may have found out the name of the next companion after The Ponds!
Jenna Louise Coleman’s first pictures as next Companion Clara.
To me she looks sort of unhappy with The Doctor in the first picture and it looks like this theme of this episode is possibly Victorian days?
Notice also, the doctor has a new costume change? O:
Costume hunting away!
Dem costumes. I’m so excited!
Pain
Waves are the sea’s white daughters,
And raindrops the children of rain,
But why for my shimmering body
Have I a mother like Pain?
Night is the mother of stars,
And wind the mother of foam—
The world is brimming with beauty,
But I must stay at home.

TW: cissexism, suicide
Project Queer readers may remember an article posted a couple weeks ago involving a trans* student named Jennifer Braly who has fought for her right to help teach psychology and sociology classes at the University of Arkansas. Aside from fighting for her right to be a guest speaker/teacher’s aid, Braly has also fought for her right to use the school’s public restroom.
Jennifer Braly (pictured above) has been subject to many criticisms in and outside the trans* community. From outside, many have attempted to push their cissexist ideas on her. From within trans* and queer circles, many folks have criticised her teaching methods - including her reference of GID (gender-identity disorder) and the fact that she has used what it is considered offensive, outdated language in reference to the trans* community.
Jennifer Braly reportedly attempted suicide this morning - according to her personal facebook account. No new details of her whereabouts or condition are available at this time. If anyone has any information regarding this story, please reply with it - and send well-wishes and positive thoughts Jennifer’s way.
If anything new surfaces, I will make sure to update here.
