Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard. How dare she remove those ticking time bombs from her chest, amiright? Like, hasn’t she learned by now that her body is public domain and we all get to vote on what she does with it? Sheesh, how selfish can ya get.

Very well done.

People being angry about ~dem gays~ on Target’s Facebook.

I just want to give my two cents on this and tell you a story.

A couple weeks ago, I was hired at Target. I have a job at Target. Not a big deal right?

It is a big deal because i’m a transman.

It doesn’t take a genius to conclude that it’s hard for me, my brothers, and sisters to get a job. There are legal restraints regarding the job and if you don’t pass, it’s hard to be taken seriously at a job interview.

Right on the application, it asks what your preferred name is. It also asks if there is anything that target should know. I put the fact that I am a transman, expecting not to get a call because usually when you put that down, people will throw out the application. I got TWO interviews.

At the interview, they asked me about it. I told them I am on hormones and they told me that they didn’t care. Not in the sense that they don’t emotionally care, but that it didn’t matter. I was male and that’s all that mattered. They also told me that they give sex same couples benefits in states that do not recognize them as a married couple.

At my job orientation, I was not misgendered once. Even my supervisors who weren’t sure of my gender avoided pronoun use, which I found only happens when you’ve had pronoun training. They gave me a name tag with my preferred name and didn’t ask questions. I felt safe and respected, which is huge for a trans* person.

TLDR: Target is amazing not just for the LGB, but also the T. Shop there for the rest of your life.

This is a photo of my mom about 20 years ago. Last Friday (May 3rd), our little family found out that, at 53, she has oesophagus cancer, which had been the reason for being so ill as of late. Up until that day I had only seen my father cry once before in my lifetime.

On May 7th I got a call from my father after they had gone for a CT scan and was told that she not only has oesophagus cancer, but also liver & brain cancer as well. She is also having seizures and problems with her legs, so walking, especially up and down stairs, will no longer be a possibility. My mother has not been able to eat solids for awhile and the small amount of liquids she is getting, is not enough to sustain her sick body. She is suppose to begin chemo and radiation treatment as soon as possible, and goes in for surgery next week to have a feeding tube placed into her stomach.

This is where we need some help & love… Both of my parents are now off of work which means that there is no money coming in. I’m also going to have to be helping my father keep the house together which means I wont be able to work as much as usual. I’m the only child so it is just us and my mom’s sister/ dad’s brother at the moment (and we’re lucky to have them during these times) but there are many things that need to be paid for, and this is short amount of time are already beginning to pile up. Aside from the usual every day costs of bills, groceries, mortgage payments there is a lot more we will need help with. My parents live in an old house with only one washroom so my father is beginning to make a bathroom on the main floor, bringing her bedroom down to the main floor, as well as looking for a hospital bed, wheelchair, making wills, funeral arrangements etc.

We are looking for any donations anyone is willing to give at this time. In just 7 days our world has been flipped upside down and everyone is overwhelmed and trying their hardest to do what they can.

You can donate here: DONATE

If you can’t donate, please reblog and pass this on to others. 100% of jewellery sales & portions of extension sales from my online shop will also go towards helping my parents as well.

Thank you for reading <3

Update: My mother is in the hospital currently (May 14th). She had her feeding tube and first session of radiation. She is currently in and out of consciousness as they have her on a ton of morphine and she was in a lot of pain yesterday after the feeding tube procedure. She has a tube going down her oesophagus out her nose and the tube is pressing against her cancer in the oesophagus.

I will be withdrawing and giving donations to my parents once a week to help out with any costs from that week. This past weekend has been a costly one as my dad is currently still working on installing the main floor washroom for her for when she is out of the hospital.

Reblog &/ donate for us! Thank you all!! <3

So today Angelina Jolie had double mastectomy, which is the removal of one’s breasts, to prevent Breast cancer. So instead of praising Angelina on her bravery, men on Twitter decided to ridicule her, even calling her stupid for removing her breasts. For those of you on Tumblr that are attacking Feminists about being delusional about sexism against women and misogyny here’s your fucking proof that sexism and misogyny exists.

BURN PENISES AMEN
Burn bras, amen.

“

Seriously, if we believe a 14 year old is too immature to know how to take a pill, do we really think she’s adult enough to handle an unwanted pregnancy?

The truth is that the age restriction is completely arbitrary, tied only to our puritanical comfort levels. And listen, I get it; I think it’s fair to say that most people are uncomfortable with the idea of a 14 year old having sex. But here’s the thing - access to Plan B isn’t about keeping a 14 year old from having sex - by the time she gets to the pharmacy, that ship has sailed - it’s about keeping a 14 year old who has already had sex from getting pregnant. And despite what urban legend (or past embarrassing FDA memos) may tell you, making emergency contraception more available is not more likely to make young teens have sex - it will just make them less likely to end up pregnant.

We can’t let our discomfort with teen sex trump young people’s right to sexual and reproductive health and we can’t continue to let politics trump science. If we care about young women’s health and bodily autonomy and integrity, we’ll drop all age restrictions from emergency contraception. Anything less isn’t just illogical - it’s immoral.
