Text: Fox News Conducts Poll on Transgender Marriage

backseatphilosopherpansexualpridecutenonsequiturgenderbitchtrannsexualferox:

Dear Tumblr Friends,

Please click on the below link, scroll down until you see the voting box on the right, and click “yes” where it asks if transgender people should be allowed to marry.

If you are someone who would vote “no”, you really shouldn’t be following me, so please unfollow at your earliest convenience.

Reblogging is good.

Best,

Renee

Gender: behaviors/norms socially assigned to males & females; masculinity & femininity.
Gender identity: internal sense of gender as man or woman, which may not conform to birth sex.
Gender expression: external signs of “femininity” or “masculinity” via clothing, comportment, etc…
Gender non-conformity: to reject assignment of distinct norms and behaviors to men & women
Genderqueer: freedom and openness of gender expression and sexual orientation, regardless of birth sex or societal norms/expectations. Often working actively to question and redefine established concepts and definitions of gender and sexual orientation.
Transgender: person who transcends behaviors/norms socially assigned to men & women; person who rejects gender binary; gender variant person; person whose gender identity/expression does not conform to birth sex.

Text: Dear People Who Think They Know What Homosexual Relationships Are Like

blackenedbutterfly:

Stop trying to turn homosexual relationships into heterosexual ones. Sometimes there is no ‘man in the relationship’ or ‘woman in the relationship’. This is a ridiculous assumption to make.  When I see two women together, I don’t think “oh so who cleans and cooks, and who makes the money?”, I see two women in a relationship. When I see two men together, I don’t think “who fucks, and who gets fucked?”, I see two men in a relationship together.

When you see a man and a woman together, do YOU question who makes money, or rather if they both do? Do you immediately start questioning who takes a dominant role?

Goddamn, some people are closed-minded about approaching things.

In an extraordinary court filing, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger asked Friday that gay marriages be allowed to resume immediately in California after a federal ruling that the state’s voter-approved ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional. The Republican governor filed his brief with U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn R. Walker before a Friday deadline to submit arguments on whether to continue a stay of Walker’s decision against Proposition 8. “The Administration believes the public interest is best served by permitting the Court’s judgment to go into effect, thereby restoring the right of same-sex couples to marry in California,” wrote Kenneth C. Mennemeier, an attorney representing Schwarzenegger, in the brief. “Doing so is consistent with California’s long history of treating all people and their relationships with equal dignity and respect.”

whoa.

kinda makes the whole thing weird, too, since the suit is Perry v. Schwarzenegger?
