Looking for trans* sexual assault resources
letstalkaboutrape:
Everyone came through with the male survivor resources, so I’m looking for some that specifically address the trans* community. I have survivorproject.org but if anyone has others, I’d really appreciate it!
http://www.transthrive.org/
http://www.thenetworklared.org/
http://www.pandys.org/lgbtsurvivors.html
http://www.lambda.org/
If anyone has more, please add!

…I think that he was really quite guilty of projecting a fantasy onto this girl that she didn’t necessarily deserve, and that, honestly, he was pretty wrapped up in his own selfish point of view…
Thank you, Joseph Gordon-Levitt for confirming...

Xmas Rant 2011
I’m about to be a spoiled bitch here for a moment, because it’s Christmas and I hate Christmas. No, it’s not because I didn’t get that iPhone, or … I don’t know, whatever else kids like these days. I am disappointed it’s Christmas because I have to spend “quality time” with my family.
Now most people have a great time being with their families...

Watching The Cider House Rules
I love that movie. It’s the only movie adaptation of a book that I think holds up to the book. Though, I’m a little disappointed that Melony wasn’t even written into the movie, nor Homer and Candy’s child, but then the movie would’ve either been 5 hours long or they wouldn’t have done those characters justice…
Still though, it’s the best job of...

Thirteen Observations made by Lemony Snicket while...
1. If you work hard, and become successful, it does not necessarily mean you are successful because you worked hard, just as if you are tall with long hair it doesn’t mean you would be a midget if you were bald.
2. “Fortune” is a word for having a lot of money and for having a lot of luck, but that does not mean the word has two definitions.
3. Money is like a child—rarely unaccompanied. When...

Nothing wrong with women having sex when they damn well want to.
A-fucking-men!

Anonymous asked: I mean, think about how it would affect the moral framework of society even though it's being affected already. That irresponsible women who carelessly have sex without protection can get away with abortion nowadays. I know of many teen girls in my city, Las Vegas, who are extremely promiscuous, and have sex all the time that get abortions. Most of that irresponsibility needs to be regulated...

Anonymous asked: That's the big picture that I just wanted you to see. You are a very intelligent, eloquent individual. I just think your extreme views of pro-choice and feminism fail to realize what really is at stake. Women's rights or possibly ending lives. Abortion must be illegal because legality and morality are closely associated with each other and we cannot allow people to think it's...

Anonymous asked: You stress about choice choice choice, but you don't seem to consider the choice of the potential living being. Again, I'm not saying I know for a fact that life starts at conception, but you should still hold some doubt and not be ignorant assuming that life starts only after birth. 93% of all abortions happen because the child is unwanted. I think refusing an abortion to women is the...

farorespearl asked: I grew up in a pro-life family, but as I grew older they allowed me to understand and see the aspects of other choices not just in this case but others. Personally, I am pro-life, but I think it's everyone's choice to choose what they want to be. I don't believe in it but I'd never get down on someone for choosing what they thought was best. My pro-life choices over the years...

farorespearl asked: Your anon isn't very pro-life. I'm pro-life and a year ago that kind of situation happened to me where I was forced, and abortion wasn't even on my mind. If anything adoption was. Luckily I found out I wasn't pregnant anyways, but pro-life doesn't leave openings or cases for abortion. I also don't understand if they're trying to convince you or not. Isn't it...

Anonymous asked: You can't really prove that life doesn't develop at conception because science hasn't officially proven anything yet even with those plausible sources you got that empirical evidence from. I'm not against women's rights either. Hell, I'm a feminist and I'm a guy so I see women as equals and should receive the same treatment as us. The thing that irks me is that...

Anonymous asked: believe abortion is somewhat reasonable such as for the rape victims who carry the rapist's baby, lethal pregnancies, etc. So if you think that pro-lifers just want to limit women's rights, you're way off. Most pro-lifers would still hold the same stance if, theoretically, men were to be the ones to carry the baby. So don't blame us, you should blame nature. The argument of...

Anonymous asked: Well, the equality and fairness of women's rights isn't even part of the argument for most people who are against pro-choice or who are pro-life, like myself. We are against it because we believe that it is an injustice to abort a potential living being. I'm not saying that I know for sure life starts at conception, but we should still act with caution on the potential lives by not...
