On being visibly trans
Today some random kid asked me if I was a boy. I politely but firmly told him I was a girl, but it was a reminder that I don’t seamlessly “pass.” That’s hard for me, because I want to be seen as a woman, full stop.
However, I can be simultaneously visibly trans AND attractive AND feminine. I could spend a bunch more money and expend boundless effort chasing that horizon goal of passing perfectly… but for what? To conform? I like me. I have awesome friends and partners. My family loves me. Lots of people find me attractive and interesting and kind–hearted.
It ain’t bad being me :)
Side point: I have a cisgendered women-friends who’ve been asked if they’re boys by children. Sometimes kids just be kids.

what the fuck ethan
I wish i had a context for this. But I really dont.
I was all ready to “um, actually” this, but, um, actually there’s about 3-4 grams of iron in a person, which x400 is 1.2-1.6kg, which is a smallish but not unreasonable sword. So. Math checks out.
How would you extract the iron, though? The more practical solution would be to kill a mere hundred men, then mix 1 part blood with 3 parts standard molten iron, imo. Cheaper and faster, while still retaining the edge that only evil magic can give you.
Or, you could just make the sword of iron, and then use the blood to temper the blade.
1.2 to 1.6 kilograms is a perfectly reasonable large sword. Your average longsword was 1.1–1.8 kg and I don’t even remember if that’s including the weight of the hilt, guard, and pommel or just the blade. Your more classic “knight sword” was a mere 1.1 kilograms on average; the blood of 400 men is more than enough.
This is using the comparatively crappy metallurgy of medieval Europe and their meh iron swords. Move east to, say, contemporary Iran and make a scimitar using high carbon steel (~2%) for a .75 kilogram blade and you only need the blood of about 225 men.
So putting my thoughts in on this… because how could I not.
So you’ve exsanguinated your 400 guys to get the iron for your sword. Cool. But now you have 400 bodies lying around.
Why not put those to good use and cremate them. Use the carbon from those 400 bodies (you won’t need all of them) and now you can make a nice mid-high carbon steel sword.
Now you have a sword forged with the blood of your enemies AND strengthened with their bones.
Tumblr is all about dismantling oppressive power structures with the help of a sword forged from the blood and bones of your defeated enemies

Women’s soccer players make WAY more money for the US soccer federation but earn 44% less– and now they’re suing for equality
In simple terms: The men earned four times as much to lose a tournament as the women earned to win the whole thing. Read the US women’s statement after the jump. And that’s not all: women’s physical playing conditions are different in one important way from the men’s.
Gifs: Today.com
These women are risking everything, because you know the men who run the whole thing are going to do their best to blackball them from the sport.
It’s infuriating and fundamentally wrong that women do not earn the same as men, and it makes me want to set he world on fire when women who won their entire sport even in conditions (fake turf that was horrible) that were worse than the men, who lost the whole damn thing are paid less.

If we always helped one another, no one would need luck.
If we all helped each other, the world wouldn’t suck
I love this.
I always reblog things like this so people can know they happen, and there are worse ways to start a week.

URGENT WISCONSIN SIGNAL BOOST
They are celebrating ID Fraud and lack of democracy, that’s right.
It is estimated right now that 300,000 people in Wisconsin don’t have the right ID to vote on Tuesday 5th, one of these:
http://bringit.wi.gov/do-i-have-right-photo-id
Now LISTEN, if you don’t have an ID that they are going to accept for you to vote, get a free ID tomorrow Monday 4th April, you just have to bring some documents to credit your identity, watch the short video, it says everything you need to bring:
http://bringit.wi.gov/how-do-i-get-free-state-id-card
They will give you a receipt that you can and MUST use to vote Tuesday 5th April; is just as valid as the ID, while they are sending it to you.
This is the solution to make sure NO ONE is denied the vote and Bernie Sanders wins BIG, that is what we NEED for him to be president.
3 phonebank calls from everybody of every state and country is as effective as 27$ by everybody, it turns into millions of phonecalls.
Effortless we can and NEED to call to reach everybody in Wisconsin to make sure they know what to do to get this ID receipt in time to vote on Tuesday 5th:

To motivate you, remember how Hillary Clinton wants to control what everybody sees in Internet so nobody has access to free information anymore, like the facts about her.
Also she wants to include articles in the Constitution about abortion, is dangerous to keep opening that door; Bernie Sanders thinks abortion is a health issue not a political one where politicians get to decide what a woman has to do with her own body.
SPREAD THIS VITAL INFORMATION LIKE FIRE, MAKE BERNIE SANDERS WIN BIG ON TUESDAY 5TH IN WISCONSIN.
FUCK THEM UP, EVERYBODY GET TO VOTE.
