I’ve never understood why people say they hate the concept of labels (femme, androgynous, masculine, girl, boy, genderqueer, lesbian, gay, straight, pan, trans*, bi, fat, white, black, etc). I’d rather label myself before someone else attempts to define me. And labeling myself allows me to find others that I have shared interests with. Labels are fine. Labels are...

Rest in Peace Dr. Tiller
iamateenagefeminist:
Three years ago today Dr. Tiller was murdered in his church for being an abortion doctor.
We will never forget the work you did.
We will never forget the women you helped.
We will never stop fighting to bring an end to violence against those who perform abortions.
Thank you, Dr. Tiler.
You will never be forgotten.

fuck yeah eastern europe: Ukraine or The Ukraine? →
fyeaheasterneurope:

Conversasion I had with a little girl at work...
3 year Old (Sasha): You have hair under your arms!
Me: Yes, I do.
Sasha: My DADDY has hair under his arms too! But he doesn't wear make-up.
Me: Would it be okay if he did?
Sasha: Yeah... It would be pretty. You wear make-up, and dresses.
Me: I love make-up and dresses! And boots, and tattoos, and piercings!
Sasha: Those things make you pretty! And cool, like my Daddy! He wears boots and earrings in his face, and tattoos! Can I touch your underarm hair?
Me: Sure.
Sasha: It's SO SOFT! I want to have hair under my arms too! And wear make-up on my eyes, and have earrings in my face, and wear pretty dresses too when I grow up!
Me: RAD! I think you'll look super cool! Can we have glitter too?
Update: Sasha is now my best friend, and according to her Daddy, she tried to glue glittery cotton balls under her arms so she could be "sparkles and fuzzy" like me.
