Dear Trans People if a very good Tumblr blog. I think it highlights the fact that some trans folks need to mellow down a little and be more forgiving to those…
Honestly, no to this blog. I’m cis, and if I said something to/around someone who was trans* and they flipped their shit, it’s either because a) I said something stupid and need to be corrected, or b) I said something stupid and that person has reached their breaking point because of all the crap they have to deal with from the world on a daily basis. If I made a mistake but don’t think it warranted such an angry response, I’d let it go. Because quite frankly, they have enough shit to deal with and don’t need to spend all their time being the sweet representative of the minority community who takes this as an opportunity to spread information and good will. Humans do not have to be perfect all of the time, and I can’t begin to imagine the work that trans* people have to put in just to get through a day, without having to kindly remind a cis person that what they just said was offensive as shit.
Since I started using menstrual cups, I have been oddly obsessed with them. I thought my cup was so awesome, I would give all sort of different cups a try. When I heard about the SoftCup I knew it was something special. This is a disposable cup, meaning that it has a lot…
You wrote: Plan B (or The Pill) is like $4 a month, I believe.
These are different things. Plan B is what a person would take after contraception has failed or was not used during intercourse (someone did not take their actual birth control pill, the condom broke, or if they were sexually assaulted [sexual assault and consensually having sex with faulty birth control are very different, just to clarify]). The website for Plan B: One Step says that while there is no medical reason not to use Plan B as often as needed, it is not as effective as regular birth control. It can also drastically change your period for a month or two, so it’s not particularly fun to take on a regular basis. Additionally, Plan B costs about $40 (this is in my area, I know it can cost around $70). This is $40+ for one-time use.
“The Pill,” or hormonal birth control taken in the form of a pill, is taken daily. It can run for a month, or for three months. You take one pill every day, and get your period in the “off” week.

No, eating animals is not a natural part of human instinct. Animals that eat other animals have carnivorous instincts from the moment they are born. If you put a rabbit and an apple in an infant’s cot, please tell me which object the baby eats and which object the baby plays with. The fact is humans are born with 0 carnivorous instincts, we learn through social behaviour that eating and hunting animals is part of our daily lives.

(Thanks, ohsusquehanna for the link to the first one!)
So I think this should make it pretty clear that the second is sexist. It would be open to debate if there were a series of ads featuring injured mouths of men and women, maybe a whole family!
But no. He gets to be a vampire, she is injured.
Just to point out…the second ad isn’t from Burger King. It’s from a Durex condom ad for XL condoms. While it’s still incredibly sexist and demeaning, it’s been Photoshopped to look like it’s Burger King (I’ll add that Burger King’s had its share of sexist advertising, like the “It’ll Blow Your Mind Away,” advertisement).

One teachers approach to preventing gender bullying in a classroom
Alie arrived at our 1st-grade classroom wearing a sweatshirt with a hood. I asked her to take off her hood, and she refused. I thought she was just being difficult and ignored it. After breakfast we got in line for art, and I noticed that she still had not removed her hood. When we arrived at the art room, I said: “Allie, I’m not playing. It’s time for art. The rule is no hoods or hats in school.”
She looked up with tears in her eyes and I realized there was something wrong. Her classmates went into the art room and we moved to the art storage area so her classmates wouldn’t hear our conversation. I softened my tone and asked her if she’d like to tell me what was wrong.
“My ponytail,” she cried.
“Can I see?” I asked.
She nodded and pulled down her hood. Allie’s braids had come undone overnight and there hadn’t been time to redo them in the morning, so they had to be put back in a ponytail. It was high up on the back of her head like those of many girls in our class, but I could see that to Allie it just felt wrong. With Allie’s permission, I took the elastic out and re-braided her hair so it could hang down.
“How’s that?” I asked.
She smiled. “Good,” she said and skipped off to join her friends in art.
