and now, METACEPTION
gyzym:

– My friend, Emily Manuel, wrote an amazing poem about being a trans woman in the world, which she published at Tiger Beatdown.

wretchedoftheearth:
The point is that you don’t need to have a person of color be nice to you or be your friend for you to fight on behalf of their rights. You shouldn’t be motivated to fight oppression because you have a black friend, you should be motivated by the fact that…oppression is bad?

Pro-Tip: Cis women are not the only people who can...

On Shipping, Fanboys, and Feminism (Again)
patheticfangirl:
