“Gender Binary” - An editorial cartoon about the harmful assumptions that can be made based on a male/female gender binary. Published in The Mercury, the student newspaper of UT Dallas, on February 13th, 2012.
I took the cold, skeleton of a girl from the hospital bed and transformed her into a warm, glowing, and radiant beam of light. I took her by the hand and showed her the other side of the world, the side where torturous food obsession didn’t eat away at her soul. I pulled her head away from the toilet and pried her eyes open so that she could see the other side. She fought with all her leftover strength, but I opened her heart up to happiness and showed her that it was real. She cried. I had saved her.

People being angry about ~dem gays~ on Target’s Facebook.
I just want to give my two cents on this and tell you a story.
A couple weeks ago, I was hired at Target. I have a job at Target. Not a big deal right?
It is a big deal because i’m a transman.
It doesn’t take a genius to conclude that it’s hard for me, my brothers, and sisters to get a job. There are legal restraints regarding the job and if you don’t pass, it’s hard to be taken seriously at a job interview.
Right on the application, it asks what your preferred name is. It also asks if there is anything that target should know. I put the fact that I am a transman, expecting not to get a call because usually when you put that down, people will throw out the application. I got TWO interviews.
At the interview, they asked me about it. I told them I am on hormones and they told me that they didn’t care. Not in the sense that they don’t emotionally care, but that it didn’t matter. I was male and that’s all that mattered. They also told me that they give sex same couples benefits in states that do not recognize them as a married couple.
At my job orientation, I was not misgendered once. Even my supervisors who weren’t sure of my gender avoided pronoun use, which I found only happens when you’ve had pronoun training. They gave me a name tag with my preferred name and didn’t ask questions. I felt safe and respected, which is huge for a trans* person.
TLDR: Target is amazing not just for the LGB, but also the T. Shop there for the rest of your life.
Target has had its share of problems, but their willingness to hire LGBT folks has always impressed me. I live in an area with a large LGBT community - all four of the letters well-represented. And the staff at my local Target reflects that. It’s so nice and sadly unexpected to see large companies stepping up like that.
I’ve always loved Target, and now I love them more.

George Takei responds to “traditional” marriage fans.
Sassy motherfucker.
i <3 this dude.
Why is this such a hard concept to grasp? Here I am, again, trying to fill the emptiness and just hopelessly attached to self- destruction. Why can’t I forgive myself and let it go?

Every weight loss program, no matter how positively it’s packaged, whispers to you that you’re not right. You’re not good enough. You’re unacceptable and you need to be fixed.
