“I think I’m officially too old for this bar. People will think I’m a creep if I keep coming around here.” Shen Yuan took another drag from her cigarette. Luo Binghe stared at the faint pink stain her lips left on the paper. “I was thirteen when you were born. Isn’t that weird?” Luo Binghe's brain to mouth filter was no longer functioning. “Can you put that out on me?”

Andre 3000’s “ 47 Messages “ Jumpsuits for the OutKast Reunion Tour in 2013. Every night he wore a different jumpsuit with a conversation starting message printed displayed on the front of it. In his own words, he said that he thought the fashion statement ( quite literally ) could act in a progressive manner, aiding socio-cultural concerns.

Happy pride!

Funny story, I went looking for this cursed fucking video recently and it seems like the cw scrubbed it from YouTube (curious, because videos from the same campaign for other shows are still up). However, they forgot to scrub it from Facebook, so you can enjoy it in it's all dogshit glory (image quality is whatever some weird Facebook video Downloader gave me)

In a worst-case scenario, trans Hoosiers with documents that don’t reflect their sex at birth could be charged with a felony for “committing fraud,” earning two and a half years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Key to the Kansas revocation scheme was keeping tabs on transgender people who’ve sought changes to their identity documents.

A database with that information identifies exactly who possesses the documents that the state wants to revoke, clearing the way to do it without a costly and time-consuming manual review of every birth certificate and driver’s license in state and county records.

Indiana, however, has long been compiling lists of trans people in the state based on identity document change requests. One method is straightforward: requests for gender marker changes to both driver’s licenses and birth certificates are flagged in the state’s records system.

Another is a backdoor method: following passage of a “gender binary” bill in Indiana last year, the Department of Health was instructed to forward all trans people’s gender amendment requests to the Office of Attorney General Todd Rokita, while the AG “awaits guidance” on the new bill, Vaca was told. As those requests accumulate, they’re added to a database of trans Hoosiers.

Vaca also confirmed that the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles internally flagged gender marker changes when they were still possible.

Don't let them do in Indiana what they're doing to me and my fellow trans people in Kansas.

The idea of the song is that of being given a glimpse of God – something that we dearly want – but being told that unless we work for it, we will never see it again, and even then, we might not be worthy of it. The choruses are meant to express the feeling of entering timelessness as you become ready for the experience, but only when you are ready. – Kate Bush Club newsletter, 1982
