Oh, I see. So you’re allowed to freely speak out about GMOs, sustainability, and how to live an organic life, but once I even open my mouth about anything remotely feminist, I’m enforcing, I’m preaching, I’m annoying. Suddenly, everyone is against me; everyone shuts me down. You’re allowed to feel comfortable and confident in your cause, but I’m not granted even the slightest bit of respect?

i’m a person who often wants physical affection but is also very uncomfortable and particular about physical contact

I’ve always been shy, but I don’t think that word is what really was going on. I’m actually not too shy; it’s just my poor conception of my own self-worth that makes me afraid to do anything, even good things.

?

Am I the only one who’s not seeing the recent Tumblr changes? Everything’s still exactly as it was for me.

if you ever call me annoying, even if it’s just jokingly, the chances of me ever speaking to you again are slim to none because I’ll be so afraid that every little word or sound that comes out of my mouth will aggravate you and make you cringe and hate my existence

Got stopped briefly while trying to get into the women’s dressing room yesterday.
Got so nervous today while trying to get into another one that I didn’t pay attention and ended up walking into the men’s instead, and the staff person looked really confused.
It’s like… I walk to the women’s side, people try to correct me. I walk to the men’s side, people are confused.
Well guess what, I am confused too darnit.
Just give me a gender-neutral place. I wouldn’t have to be so afraid all the time.

ALBANY, N.Y. — The New York State Assembly this week approved the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act (GENDA), a bill to prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity and expression in employment, housing, public accommodations and credit.

ALL OF MY YES.  Good job, NY.

GREAT NEWS FOR ME

Aaand commence mental breakdown

It makes me sick that this tension is all because I choose to stand up for what is right and challenge my family’s beliefs.

I should not feel shamed for knowing the difference between right and wrong.

All of this makes me realize how families are able to split or lose contact; Before, I never understood how that could possibly happen.

I’m afraid of losing my family.

Campus Emergency Alert has been lifted. “All clear” notification has been given.

But they have not caught the guy…

So why are we off of lockdown?

There’s an armed intruder on my campus right now…
