radicalqueery: Ten Things Transgender Persons Should Discuss With Their Healthcare Providers artoftransliness: Many of these apply to ANYONE (STDs, health history, etc.). It’s important to remember, though, that even if you think it’s awkward that it is important to share these things with your doctor in order to ensure you receive proper medical care.

radicalqueery: Tranny Talks: Pop Culture’s Ricochet Response to Trans* Visibility midwestgenderqueer: “The exploding use of tranny in mainstream isn’t a coincidence, it is society trying to deal with our communities’ push for rights and recognition. Petty pop culture is politics dripping down into the masses of mainstream, and that is why it is so dangerous…”

Whenever Anti-Choicers say that having sex means...

saynathespiffy: daskannnichtsein: They become the literal epitome of anti-choice. And I just sorta side-eye and go “how many of you fuckers wouldn’t be alive today if your parents only fucked when they were ready?” Yep. And that last question is pretty important. A lot of us were accidents, or, as my mother puts it, “surprises”. Most of the sex people have is protected sex for pleasure and...

prolongedeyecontact: Study: Majority Of Young Evangelicals Have Pre-Marital Sex, Exposing Flaws With Right-Wing Attacks On Sex Ed The religious right has a heavy-hand in conservative politics, particularly in an election year.

Anonymous asked: Best places for free feminist porn?

Anonymous asked: FEMINIST PORN EXISTS? Can I please get educated in this matter? What are some popular titles and actors? Is James Deen one of them (I have only heard of him is passing). Can I get a 101 over here?

Anonymous asked: The problem with asexuals using an inverted triangle symbol is that it appropriates a symbol of a genocide that did not target them. Himmler said, "We must exterminate these people root and branch... the homosexual must be eliminated." Not the asexual.

While looking up dildos/packers I realize none of the ones I find are of an uncircumcised penis.

fwip asked: Speaking of Comics, have you ever heard of "Y: The last man"? It's a story I'm really in love with, I've read all the books a couple times. It's about exactly what the title implies; there is only one male left on earth in a world full of women. I love how clever the story is, and while it's a little indulgent (Comic's like this are normally written for men...

lanesagola asked: What's the controversy with AVEN's inverted triangle symbol? I'm not asexual, but I did a bit of research, and what I've found suggests that people are angered by its borrowing of the inverted pink and black triangles (which acknowledge gay and lesbian persecution in Nazi Germany). Is that the whole of it, or is it problematic in other ways?

Barnes & Noble Pulls Offensive 'Sissy' Calendar... →

projectqueer: Two days ago, Andy broke the story of Christian cartoonist “Joe King’s” bizarre “I’m Not Gay, I’m Just a Sissy” calendar, which was for sale at Amazon and BarnesandNoble.com. The calendar, which promised “12 Months of Sexual Confusion, Not That There’s Anything Wrong With That,” proposed to make buyers laugh by making fun of straight-identified men with “sissy”...

Rather than waste money trying to ban abortion,...

femmewave: Adopt a child. Fund contraception. Support free healthcare. Donate to charities that work to eradicate childhood diseases. Donate to Amnesty International, so they can get innocent people off Death Row. Donate your time to working with the hungry / homeless. Knit blankets for *wanted* preemie babies. Support people who miscarry. They might actually need it. Fight domestic...

catnoises asked: I thought that male-bodied was a more inclusive term, but I suppose I was wrong! What is the most ideal term for most of the trans* community?

ace-reporter: Three More Columns for Dr. Ruth Personally, I’m waiting to see if and how she responds to AVEN’s Project team.

This is a Laci Green Appreciation post

One of my friends that also follows my blog asked, “What was that name of that one chick you posted a video of talking about being to young to get married? The one with the awesome rack.” That would be Laci Green, one of my favourite internet sex educators. She shares a lot of the same opinions I do, and she’s just all around awesome. She lives in San Francisco and is a sex...

ace-reporter: Note to trolls perusing the Asexual tag: I use this symbol in stories that deal with AVEN’s activities. I use it because it’s the symbol of AVEN. This does not necessarily mean I think it should be seen as an Asexual symbol. I recognize that there is a legitimate complaint against its use.

– Sam Harris, Letter to a Christian Nation Get it through your heads, people. Potentiality=/=actuality, and we don’t hand out rights based on mere potential. (via prolongedeyecontact)

prolongedeyecontact: [TW for abuse] Elected batterers: abortion restrictions as violence against women [For the most part, I liked this essay. I especially liked that the author cited the statistics used. This lays out the misogyny and inherent violence of antichoice politicians pretty clearly and the comparisons to abusers are valid imo. I wish it could have been less cis-centric, though,...

fuckyeahgenderstudies: Ker-pow! Women kick back against comic-book sexism Good stuff! As you might know from the section of my books list devoted just to comics and the post i did just before Christmas on the very excellent Paying for It, i’m something of a comic book fan—and i’m also trying to increase the proportion of books i read that are by women (it’s remarkably...

“You have to question a cinematic culture which preaches artistic expression, and...”

– Ryan Gosling, in a letter protesting the NC-17 rating of ‘Blue Valentine’. The rating was based on one consensual sex scene, in which he performs cunnilingus on Michelle Williams. (via agarfields )

Sex Positive Parenting: Kids Found the Condoms

sexpositive: This is the first of hopefully many in a series called Sex Positive Parenting. As something I discuss with people in many contexts, part of being sex positive is providing a sex positive environment for the entire family. This includes honest conversations with children and teens about reproduction, sexuality and heath. This following article, found at SEXPress, is written by my...

On Misogyny/Homophobia in Rap and White Feminism

angryfuckingliberal: thesociologicalear: Yesterday, I witnessed a discussion on my dashboard that centered, once again, around Tyler the Creator (of Odd Future) and indie rock artist Sara Quin (of Tegan and Sara.) This discussion was actually an extension of a conflict that had occurred between the two earlier in the year, when Quin wrote a post discussing Tyler’s copious use of the word...

iwroteastoryonce asked: I am an avid feminist porn lover. that said, I also watch and enjoy 'mainstream' porn but do not connect to it as I have connected to feminist porn. Isn't it funny then what James Deen has done? ;) xo

feministfashionista asked: Thanks so much for answering my question! I've sent you a few anon questions in the past so thank you for answering those as well. I'm definitely going to make that tumblr, especially since I have this past of always correcting my health teachers. I'll also make it a blog for other people to submit stories about their experiences as well. I'm a huge sex ed activist and I wish...

Anonymous asked: Hopefully this doesn't sound too ignorant. I have heard a lot about metrosexual males. But are there metrosexual females as well? I wouldn't it doubt it - I've just never heard it talked about unless they would go under a different name?

bedsider: Sex Ed 101: What You Didn’t Learn Great article from GeNYU (and not just because it mentions us and our fabulous intern Khalea), about sex ed beyond high school.

Cardinal Repeats Gay-Klan Analogy By Trudy Ring After softening his remarks comparing gay pride parade participants to the Ku Klux Klan, Chicago’s Roman Catholic archbishop has repeated the analogy in an official statement on the archdiocese’s website. Cardinal Francis George’s initial statement came last week during discussion of a controversy over the schedule...

le-claire-de-lune asked: At the end of the day if Muslim women want to cover their heads or their faces they ought to be allowed to do it. We cannot be so ethnocentric to not listen to the people we're supposedly trying to liberate. There are plenty of Muslim feminists I have meet and read who fundamentally believe in that choice. And I for one, would rather take their opinion than a bunch of xenophobic...

awombatnamedshadowfax replied to your post: Actually that IS what he has said you’re just taking it out of context. Just saying, the woman who asked Dan did use “Am I fucked up? Is it okay to not be sexual? Should my sorry butt be in therapy?” He only responded to what she already said. I’m pretty sure people who read/ask Dan expect a certain level of frankness. There’s a difference...

caravaggia asked: (Frenchie here) So would you accept everything in the name of religion ? I mean you're "f yeah sex education", not "f yeah sex repression", right ? Cultural relativism is not an excuse for everything. I would have nothing against hijabs, niqabs and such if it were an accessory that both men and women can wear, only when they want to. But you can't deny it's a...

Anonymous asked: Actually that IS what he has said you're just taking it out of context.

Anonymous asked: I honestly agree with the bit about asexuals, as a sexual person, I enter a relationship with the reasonable expectation of sex, if someone fails to disclose something like that BEFORE entering into a relationship with me I think it would be entirely unfair and dishonest.

Anonymous asked: What do you find problematic about Dan Savage?

mowthelawn asked: Why is that man your hero? He's just allowing the disgusting practice of forcing (through manipulation, religion, and violence) women to cover their entire bodies! He should not be a hero, he is encouraging the practice.
