Just a quick guide for all you guys and girls having trouble finding the right insurance. It’s incredibly difficult to find insurance that covers sex reassignment surgery, and even when then do, there’s a chance you’ll be denied. 

Make sure you guys are informed so you can make the right healthcare decisions!

Ireland is the only country in Europe without legal accessible abortion. Now a woman has been sentenced to jail for self-induced abortion

Two years ago a 21-year-old woman used drugs she bought on the internet to self-induce an abortion when she couldn’t get one legally. Her roommates turned her in. Here’s what happened (are you listening, Donald Trump fans?)

An unnamed woman in Ireland was declared brain-dead on December 3, 2014 but the hospital refused to turn off her life support because she was pregnant. It took a court determination that the fetus at 18 weeks of gestation had minimum chance of survival before the woman was taken off life support on December 27, 2012.

Laverne Cox: Bathroom Bills “Criminalize Trans People” And No One Is Talking About It

Because the people don’t actually “feel” like becoming educated on LGB and especially T issues.

The ACLU received $24.1 million in online donations this weekend

In a typical year, the American Civil Liberties Union gets about $4 million in online donations. 

But over this past weekend, the organization received $24.1 million from online donors, six times what it normally receives in a whole year.

if you donate to CAIR, tweet your receipt to grimes and she will match it up to 10k

She didn’t run for election; she was appointed, without her knowledge, while she was living and working in a completely different part of the country. She just received a call one day telling her to come back to her childhood home, because she was in charge now.

So she did; and when she arrived, she discovered widespread sexual abuse of children. She browbeat 50 uncooperative local leaders into accepting her decision to annul all the marriages. She then fired four of them when they continued to allow children to be married off in their areas. She still faces widespread opposition from parents who consider it their right to sexually abuse their daughters if they want to; but Kachindamoto very evidently does not give a fuck, and is continuing to use political and legal means to protect children in the region.

This is AMAZING! OMG 

THIS is the America I stand for.

AMEN! 

Veterans Ask Native Elders For Forgiveness At Standing Rock.

I never thought I would see this day when a white man apologizes for the tyranny and oppression of Native American population. This is so powerful. This is the nation that I want - responsible, compassionate and that learns from its mistakes.

but the best thing is they have a specialty boxes, like vegan or kosher only snacks but also 

they specifically offer boxes for menstruating guys and nb folks. 

which is pretty darn cool.
