The above article is an update.  Her mother went to appeal to keep her out of the psychiatric ward and lost.  She will be institutionalized because of her expression of her gender.  She will be held until she conforms to male gender and then released to foster care, not her mother who was supporting her.

Please, if you haven’t signed the petition, sign it, reblog it, ask your friends to sign it. We’ve managed to get 40K signatures for a pageant model, we’ve only gotten 11K for a little girl about to have her life ruined.  Lets get on the ball and spread the word.

Sign It.

I literally just repeated the f-word until I ran out of breath.

Let me catch my breath. I may go on a cursing spree again as soon as I get it back.

Seriously people…

WHY THE FUCK AREN’T PEOPLE REBLOGGING THIS??

In response to folks who are claiming that my talking about my relationship with my body and my weight loss is “body negative” and “problematic”.

lacigreen:

Talking about my fitness, exercise, nutrition, and my own body journey doesn’t magically imply in any way shape or form that there is anything wrong with fat, with eating what you want, and living however you damn well please.  There is not a single should in that entire post and talking about diet/weight loss/whatever does not instantly equate to fat shame. 

Seriously, sit the fuck down.  

I feel like we constantly fat sham and thin shame, and have this weird double standard about anyone talking about how they transformed their body. We expect them to work to make the transformation happen, but we don’t want to hear about it. Being thin and eating healthy means in most people’s ears that you’re fat shaming others, even if you’re just saying that you’ve done something different with your body. If you’re not a twig, we (especially women, omg) tell each other how to become thin, but we don’t want to hear that if worked for them.

Laci looks beautiful in any shape, and if eating fruits and veggies and breaking her sugar addiction had the side effect of thinning her up, then let’s all be darned happy that she was able to break a vicious post modern world cycle of filling the human body with unncessary sugars rather than nutrients.

Laci, you rock.

Since I returned from my ignominious separation from the U.S. Military, I have been extra attached to Ellie Goulding. And I was in the middle of a major Ellie kick when this morning, Courtney decides to introduce me to local KC band Antennas Up.

So now I’m writhing on the floor, convulsed by multiple eargasms.

I have magic powers, what can I say?

A Rant on Discrimination

I’ve known I was bi since I was 13 and I realized I had a crush on Christina Aguilera like I had a crush on Joey Fatone. Since then, I’ve dated guys and girls, and been perfectly comfortable in my identity as I bi individual.

Recently, I started seeing a woman who identifies as a lesbian. She’s sweet and fun, and I could see us going somewhere eventually if things developed right. However, she’s hung up on the fact that I identify as bi but have never had sex. She completely ignores the fact that I’ve never had sex with anyone, and focuses on my lack of experience with women.

She seems to completely disregard my identity as a bi because I have more experience with men due to my attraction to girly girls.

It frustrates me unto no end to have my identity questioned because I don’t fit into her binary mould.However, I get this all the time. People expect me to be experimenting or to “pick a side”, and they constantly attempt to illegitimize my identity based on the fact that I haven’t had sex.

I have to ask if anyone else has identified as something other then heterosexual before having intercourse, because I can guarantee the answer is probably yes. Why are binary sexualities more legitimate without experience than my sexuality on a sliding spectrum?

The more research I do, the more I start to identify as grey ace bi-romantic. I’m still attracted to both sexes, but the attraction is far more romantic than based on a need or desire for sex, which for me is nowhere near the foreground of my mind.

Anyway, my point is that I’m sick of being treated as some sort of outsider based on not fitting into a binary sexuality.

The end.

Let me tell you about someone awesome

goddessborn, also known as Joseph, is one of the most fantastical people ever. I’ve had a rough couple of weeks. Things have been confusing and all over the place and I’m opening up to new friends in ways I haven’t in a very long time.

I’m allowing myself to be less flippant and more honest about my feelings regarding my family, my life choices, my experiences, and my identity. The whole thing has been exhausting.

Then, if you factor in the fact that I’m not allowed to mix my own mixed drinks for reasons, you get a sad and weepy Courtney that many people are sort of terrified to see. Joseph’s been away for a bit and busy with life and attempting to enlist in the Navy, so he and I haven’t crossed paths in a month or so.

He found out that I’d been having a rough couple weeks, and he called and came over to talk and be my awesome adopted brother. We dosed him with Claritin and we talked and had a grand old time.

I also got him to promise to come watch Hamlet with me.

So yeah. Goddessborn is awesome, and everyone should be friends with him.
