for a pessimist, i'm pretty optimistic.

there’s no age where it’s too late for someone to change.

there’s no age where once a person has grown past it they are no longer allowed to ever make mistakes or make up for them.

there’s no age where once a person has grown past it they are no longer to ever have any change in their beliefs.

don’t trust anyone who thinks that because of some aspect of their identity (their gender, their sexuality, their age, their race, their class, whatever) it means it’s impossible for them to be abusive.

don’t trust anyone who thinks that because of the things they’ve been through in life (that they were abused themself, that they have abuse survivors as friends or family members) it’s impossible for them to be abusive.

the point of this post is not to scare y'all or to make you feel like there are predators on every corner but to make you understand that if you are ever in an abusive situation and your abuser deflects and denies that what they’re doing to you is abuse by claiming any of these things (that “how can i be abusive? i’m ___!”) that they are 100% full of shit and you should not buy what they’re telling you.

Identity pride plumbbobs for the queer Sims player–set two!

Set two, containing transgender, nonbinary, androgyne, genderqueer, demiboy, aporagender, pangender, and intergender.

A reminder of what Gender IS and ISN’T 

It is not “a gender between male and female” unless the intersex intergender person describes it as such

Intergender can not be separated from intersex experiences. Intergender describes our experiences with dysphoria and how it intersects with intersexism and transphobia/cissexism. Non-intersex people can’t use it. Use androgyne or non-binary something similar. Stop stealing intersex specific words.

P.S. on that same train if I catch any of you (non-intersex) nasties calling yourselves h*rmaphrodites I hope an intersex person smacks the shit out of you
