silary asked: RE: "SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN 'CIS' TO ME" I agree that you aren't required to explain terms to people, and the OP was obviously out of line. However, would you happen to have a suggestion of a place to look up terms like CIS or terms related to it? I have googled, and wikipedia is helpful, but I feel like I could be missing some necessary facts because this is a little...

“The word “transgender” is an adjective, and a descriptive word; not a noun or a verb. Just as you wouldn’t call an older person “an old” or say they are “olded”, it is inappropriate to refer to a transgender person as “a transgender” without adding “person”, “woman”, “man”, or any other appropriate noun.”

Cis beauticians selling these skeevy “Become the Woman You Always Wanted to Be!” “passability” courses.
‘Cause, umm, first of all, I already am a woman, so fuck you. Secondly, no, I don’t live up to patriarchal beauty standards, but I don’t consider that a flaw; hell, on my more snarky days, I consider it a fucking badge of honor. And thirdly, fuck off with your victim-blaming....

lebanesepoppyseed:
When someone uses a slur and a person from the marginalized group that the slur disparages calls that shit out, there are is a common reaction that piss me the fuck off and is downright abusive in how it twists why the call out is happening and how it should go down.
“Well, it’s up to you get offended or not”
“It only has power if you give it power”.
“You can’t let every...

Parents who adopt normally qualify for a one-time credit of more than $13,000. But TheNew York Times reports that the IRS sometimes refuses applications from same-sex couples when one partner is adopting the other’s biological child. The Government Accountability Office criticized the IRS for failing to train its staffers on how to handle the situation. And an IRS spokesman...

I’m getting really fucking tired of these “holier than thou” personalities of the “feminist authorities” on tumblr.
Oh… you don’t want to explain it or put it in your faq?
Probably because you don’t understand it…
OR just because
YOU SUCK.
A cisgender person is a person who identifies with the gender they were assigned at birth. When the doctor says,...

As mentioned earlier, I’m having to make some big sacrifices to save up for transition. I’m willing to make those sacrifices. I am also trying to get my business crap underway, and will see if I can get more regular work as well. I’m going to get SRS if it kills me. I’ve got to. My current state isn’t going to be tolerable for much longer.
Please help if you can, either...
