the only reason the leafs “choke” is bc the amount of pressure that is put on them by the media and their so called “fans” actually makes them stress out wayyy before playoffs! wdym u BOOED U R team when they lost tonight???? instead of cheering them on? letting them know it’s okay? ur human? and this is a GAME?? talking shit about mitch as if he doesn’t make a HUGE difference in and out that locker from??? and talking about how now the guys are overreacting and being childish??? the pressure and stress they are under is bc of YOU?!? shitting on willy as if he isn’t dealing with MIGRAINES (if u think it’s a joke let’s remember nolan patrick.) getting mad at auston as if he hasn’t been DEALING with an illness for U UNGRATEFUL FUCKING “FANS”?!? i get in hockey there’s gonna be brain dead takes and opinions but jfc. have some fucking empathy and SUPPORT ur guys.

i hate to be that guy, but the idea that gender, sex, and sexuality are ontologically pure concepts that can be rigidly defined if we simply police our language enough (our english language, because of course) is—i cannot stress this enough—a total waste of time. you may as well spend your afternoons teaching a brick how to swim

Donna Lee Parsons isn’t particularly well-known in hardcore/punk circles, but she should be. She played a pivotal role in rock history. Before she transitioned, she founded Rat Cage Records, a record label that released the Beastie Boys’ first two EPs; she signed them at their very first show. Twenty years later, after Parsons came out as trans and the band’s meteoric rise to fame, the artists quietly paid for Parson’s gender affirmation surgery. According to member Adam Horovitz, since the men knew she wouldn’t accept the money if she saw it as a charitable act, they claimed they owed her royalties from their EP Polly Wog Stew.

[...]

So if you’ve ever worn a ‘lightning bolt’ t-shirt or listened to Victim in Pain or found yourself fondly recalling a Beastie Boys show you went to, you have a transgender woman to thank for that. And we should know her story. If you call yourself a hardcore kid, Donna Lee Parsons touched your life.

what is your gender identity?

cisgender

transgender

nonbinary

genderqueer

multigender (bigender, trigender, pangender etc.)

genderfluid

agender

xenogender

demiboy/girl/flux

multiple of these

none of these/other (put in tags?)

#nonbinary #never felt drawn to laber further than that #honestly queer is all I really use

“I learned from my mother how to love the living, to have plenty of vases on hand in case you have to rush to the hospital with peonies cut from the lawn, black ants still stuck to the buds. I learned to save jars large enough to hold fruit salad for a whole grieving household, to cube home-canned pears and peaches, to slice through maroon grape skins and flick out the sexual seeds with a knife point. I learned to attend viewing even if I didn’t know the deceased, to press the moist hands of the living, to look in their eyes and offer sympathy, as though I understood loss even then. I learned that whatever we say means nothing, what anyone will remember is that we came. I learned to believe I had the power to ease awful pains materially like an angel. Like a doctor, I learned to create from another’s suffering my own usefulness, and once you know how to do this, you can never refuse. To every house you enter, you must offer healing: a chocolate cake you baked yourself, the blessing of your voice, your chaste touch.”
