mavieenrose:
on saturday night SNL aired a skit of a mock commercial for an estrogen replacement therapy depicting men with facial hair wearing dresses as representative of transgender women. (i am not going to post it, because i believe that will only perpetuate the problem.)
the skit was stereotypical, hurtful, and minimized the real struggles and discrimination that transgender people face...

INFJ- Why you want one: They’ll sit-inside-and-read-Dostoevsky-with-you-on-a-rainy-day, they’re good curators of interests and they’ll find something interesting to do and plan the whole date out (to the second).

Valentine's Day, I've Never Liked You
jenny-jenny-bo-benny:
Um, I’m not the kind of girl that does a big thing for Valentine’s Day or really anniversaries or any things like that in relationships. So, this was always a nothing holiday for me, but some people are into it and you say Happy Valentine’s Day to the ones you love.
