You don't actually think a fetus is a human being,...

like-an-echo:
When you hear that a woman gets an abortion, you go nuts about the fetus having rights. You feel sorry for the poor baby. You feel angry because the baby was done injustice. It’s about the baby.

An open letter to the feminist movement.
ephemeralcat:
I am a FAAB, femme-presenting genderqueer person. This means that I rarely, if ever, pass as anything other than female. And since I am almost always read as female by strangers, they treat me as if I were a woman.

meeca:

If you are an American trans guy who can’t get T because of lack money or your insurance doesn’t cover it, you may be able to get it for free directly from the pharmaceutical company that makes it.
