Trans People Shouldn't Use The Restroom

Protect, segregate and demonize.

Trans People Shouldn't Use The Restroom
Olsettres

Who can and can't use the bathroom? We need to protect our children from creepy pervs! Let's blame those "trans people" since they are obviously pretending to go to the bathroom to harass and spy on the women and kids. Because a person with a penis and a person with a vagina belong in separate bathroom facilities, because women and men are separate, yet equal.

In bathrooms, women with vaginas do some weird rituals that are so different from men with penises. So segregate. Oh and we can't allow anyone who doesn't identify as their born sex to use the bathroom. they have magical powers to hold their bladders for years (or at least until they get home). Oh, and don't forget we know what's in your pants, so don't even bother pretending, my dear predators. And we know you're pretending because we gendered clothing.

Let's protect the children from queer people, teach the children to be judgmental, and of course encourage them to fear what they don't understand and potentially even discourage them from finding their own identity because God forbid, we teach them love and kindness, acceptance, and answering the question "why?"

It's simply too difficult to explain "biological refers to the person's private parts, gender is how they feel inside (boy, girl, neither, or all of the above), and expression is self explanatory. Sometimes they match up; sometimes they don't.

This link is very easy to understand, just scroll down to the steps. It also brings up safety. Our society is so strong on upholding the gender binary, that we forget that kids could find themselves at an early age, and the right-wing is very adornment about "protecting the children" that the children who are not of the binary system or whatever, are at higher risk of bullying in schools and violence. What about those kids? Do they deserve less protection? WWJD? The article says this perfectly, "Gender conformity shouldn’t be a requisite for love."

On my final rant, there are people who "pass" that match their gender expression and identity, and people would not think twice of their biological sex. Congrats to them as it is more easy to do this than others. If one doesn't "pass" that does not make them less of whatever gender they identify with. Respect pronouns. He/she/they/ whatever one chooses.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
