Cathy Brennan, radical “feminist” terrorist, has set her sights on a young black activist in Baltimore County, MD. Phylicia Sampson is being taken to court by Brennan, a notorious harasser of trans women and their supporters. Sampson is a recent college grad with few resources, no car and no way to fight back without your help.

As a community, we’ve suffered Brennan’s assaults for a long time—her blog is the best known for outing trans women’s personal information. She believes trans women are men who are infiltrating the feminist community and expends her resources fighting them. The idea that she is now taking her harassment to a legal venue is horrifying. That she has selected a young black woman with few resources to fight back is repugnant.

We can’t let Cathy Brennan get away with this! Share Phylicia’s campaign on Facebook, twitter, tumblr and instagram.  Here are some things you can do TODAY to help:

• Tell your friends why it is important that they donate to this campaign. 
• Donate what you can.
• Write to your favorite feminist blog and ask them to cover this campaign

It’s real funny [except not funny at all] how the way to devalue, dehumanize and gaslight women is to say they have Daddy Issues

Daddy Issues became a well known thing because men have become known for abusing and leaving their children

And yet, somehow that’s a reflection on the daughter and not men

But Feminists make up sexism right?

"It seems to me that on one page I recognized a portion of an old diary of mine which mysteriously disappeared shortly after my marriage, and, also, scraps of letters which, though considerably edited, sound to me vaguely familiar. In fact, Mr. Fitzgerald (I believe that is how he spells his name) seems to believe that plagiarism begins at home."

—Zelda Fitzgerald, in a review of her husband’s book in 1922 (via trishahaddad)

Reminder that F. Scott Fitzgerald stole his wife’s writing, many times, while suppressing her works. See “Save Me the Waltz”, which he forced her to revise so that he could use parts of it in his own book “Tender Is the Night”. And which author do we study in school?

I didn’t know this.

(via alienswithankhs)

He also encouraged her to have affairs so he could use that for inspiration, and when she wanted to leave him for a man she fell in love with, he locked her in their house and wouldn’t let her leave.

When she wanted to publish “Save me the Waltz,” Fitzgerald wrote in his diary about DELIBERATELY trying to TRIGGER her schizophrenic episodes and making her incapable of fighting that battle.

And Fitzgerald scholars KNOW all this.  They write articles about how it was all okay because in the end, it inspired Fitzgerald to write Great Literature.

that sounds about right

He was a shitty author, tho…

(via heirofmedusa)

No seriously this is just the tip of the ice berg. Zelda had to stay in institutions for awhile and Fitzergerald was AWFUL to her, constantly putting her down and psychologically abusing her. She tried to get away from him and lived with family for a long time - it was just this horrible vicious cycle. When doctors told him to work on his alcoholism because it was making Zelda’s condition worse Fitzgerald threw manbaby fits and acting like asking him to stop drinking was ABUSE or some shit. He was a horrible shit stain. Like I could go on forever about all the horrible shit he did to Zelda. Like any time she had an artistic endeavor he shot it down and suppressed her. He was very intimidated and jealous of her talents and squashed them at any opportunity. You can read the biography Zelda to find out about it.

I wonder how many people identify as genderqueer in Somalia

fuckyeahchoice:

savetheskunkapes:

Oh, wait. I forgot. Those people have actual problems.

I’m from a “third world country” and to add to that I’m from a very conservative predominantly Muslim country. I’m about to drop a BOMB SHELL on you, bro. 

There are gay people. There are genderqueer people. There are trans* people. But they can’t be open about it for the most part because they may even be shunned by their own family. We are all products of our society and there is ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with exploring yourself and your feelings and your identity. 

If it’s safe and you can share it why the fuck not? Because if someone has the audacity to put a name to their identity then we can’t deal with poverty or racism? 

No shut up. 

Also here are some more fun facts:

• We have internet!
• We have sex!
• I had a pet cat!
• I was a specialized education teacher! (And I’m a woman! WHAT!)
• We had feminism!
• We had hardcore and punk and rap shows/Music scene!
• Cable TV!
• Parks and playgrounds!
• Medical care!
• Cell phones! 
• ALL THIS AND MUCH MUCH MORE. 

All this and I’m still worried about silly things like racism, sexism and cissexism! And I still think you’re ridiculous and have made absolutely zero points! 

I’m sorry you think we’re too primitive to know about gender identity.
