I know I’ve been kind of binge-posting lately, but I thought y’all might find this article interesting. detail.asp?page=1&id=26601 I know not all of us are on the Lady Gaga fan train, but I think this article is a fine example of a positive quality of Lady Gaga: she sometimes picks really rad people to work [...]

So I just watched the movie Teeth. This is one rich film for a feminist. I highly recommend watching it. If you want to watch it before I give away the plot, I know you can find it for free at Surfthechannel… or you could, like, pay to watch it. Not like I did, but [...]

Or, alternatively titled: “Making the Brown Sex Week 2010 Poster” (This is a cross-post from the SHEEC blog/my blog) My goals were that the poster: Wouldn’t imply a certain relationship status Wouldn’t be objectifying and just like any other ad on TV Wouldn’t be heteronormative (and ideally not homonormative, either, which is…not easy to do–most [...]
Talking Trans

Hey folks. So I posted this link on the facebook a while ago after I saw it on Feministing: I think it provides a great overview about trans and genderqueer identities (it’s not perfect). Our language doesn’t provide much room for gender flexibility, as you might have noticed. It’s a little awkward, if not, impossible [...]

Crossposted at Vegans of Color I. Parahumans only vaguely exist at this point. They remain embryo’s grown, destroyed, and harvested for stem cells. Some how a scientist mixing human dna with animal dna is not the ethical conundrum that growing a 100% homo sapiens embryo for harvest is. II. Have you heard of H.R. 5910? It [...]
Negotiating Identities

I’ve been feeling a lot of tension lately between my feminist identity and my gender identity. They both began developing around the same time. I started realizing that I what I thought was right for me deviated from the mainstream. A lot of people have been offended by my sadness for feminists who shave their [...]
Gender, Race, and Affirmative Action

My pa sent this piece to me, perhaps it’s of interest to y’all. Something I found interesting about it: The writer speaks of “unconscious bias”. Doesn’t this seem like a redundant statement? If you were aware that you were biased wouldn’t you do something about it? I’d like to think so, but maybe not. Maybe [...]
