Polycule: IT’S AN UNPOPULAR OPINION.
polycule:
I think we’re doing it wrong. “We” being polyamorous folks and “it” being discussing polyamory with monogamous friends.
Often I’ve noticed, in myself as well as others, when faced with the daunting task of explaining polyamory to someone who’s either never heard of it or is being judgmental, we…

I rip the staples out of my forearm, with the aggressive energy of a hungry and callous vampire, a narcissistic power-hungry vampire, taking its first bite, —pinning her down and entering her arched neck, with sloppy lust and gluttonous over-slurp.
The staples shine in my hand and I feel the hazy embrace of endorphins I confuse for him. My eyes are squinted tight, my...

Step 1: Mother gives birth to baby.
Step 2: Baby takes his first steps. Mother nervously stares at human observers. She knows what’s coming. She’s seen it before.
Step 3: Less than 15 minutes after birth, the still-wet baby is taken from his mother.

Also, here’s a link for you. Not from a gender related site, but from a plain old grammar site explaining why it’s grammatically correct (and how it was used as a singular pronoun before the trans* community began talking about it on Tumblr.)

And “pretty feminine.”
I mean, I was hard femme today, but I’m also queer as fuck EVEN WHEN I’M HARD FEMME BECAUSE I JUST AM QUEER AS FUCK

And now I’m openly queer as fuck and very happy about it

hi
so
if you claim to be a feminist but also find feminine (whatever the fuck you mean that to be) men to be gross or assume they are gay…

You basically just gotta get the fuck over it. Here is a list of things that are NOT ok to say, using a FtM friend as an example:
Yeah but I knew her when she was a girl! So I can keep using female pronouns.
I mean, I know she thinks she wants to be a boy but I haven’t really tried to switch pronouns yet cuz like, I don’t know, she doesn’t seem TOO sure about it.
