Red Light Politics: We are not all Libyan →
redlightpolitics:
I see this cutesy thing (no doubt with good intentions) claiming that “today we are all Libyan”.
Not only we are not all Libyan but we all hold a degree of responsibility in the oppression of Libyan people. If you live anywhere in the Western world (as I do), you have certainly benefited from the oppression of Libyans, even if you, directly, did not wish to do so. Our ...

genderqueer: Binary-Gender Privilege →
stfubinarists:
Something I did about 6 months ago. Not exactly binarism, but a lot of people don’t think about that there actually is privilege in having a gender in the binary, even if you aren’t cis or “gender normative” or whatever else. Feel free to suggest your own.
