Novartis Pharmaceuticals Employees Show Their 'Love' For The GLBT Community

WARNING: Possibly triggering language behind link

I can't even...by this asshats logic, there are no FTMs. Hmmm...

'Child molestation' does not fall under a single orientation-indeed, the actual act (not the attraction to children-I have no issue with non-active pedophiles *and that includes NOT looking at pictures*) is simply...*twitch*

We have no more sex offenders than any other group.

Some of us freaking hate dick ^_^

I guess I'll just end this by extending a hearty FUCK YOU to this asswipe and the mods on this board who did nothing.

FTM=Female-To-Me

On a better trans-related note...

I've been playing around in my head with the FTM label. Kaleb (on youtube) asked, before he started transition of any kind 'can't I just be Female-To-Me?'

I think, using that definition of the label, it fits me.

I don't think I'll go put it on my facebook or any other profiles, as I know what people will think, but...meh.

Another odd thing. I've noticed that in some ways, the FTM community is more accepting of people being non-op, half-op, full-op no hormones, etc. I've seen a whole lot of FTM videos confronting the idea that you have to go all the way or no way. I'm not saying that there aren't MTFs who also confront this idea, but it just seems more prevalent among FTMs. MTFS are more likely to be treated (and to view themselves) as not complete women unti they have bottom surgery. I know part of this is probably because bottom surgery for FTM's tends to be much less satisfactory than for MTFs, but still. The FTM community seems to be much more into the 'whatever you need to do to be you' idea, and I love that.

...I really don't know how else to tie this up, soo....yeah.

It's bringing me to my knees...

The Other F Word

There's a whole lotta good stuff here, but these parts really jumped out at me

"YKIOK.” For those who remember the early days of the Internet, USENET and the coming together of marginalized communities, the leather community was faced with a quandary: people of a billion different persuasions, many of whom did not understand any other persuasions, all clashed over whether things like humiliation play were responsible, whether breath play was safe, whether 24/7 lifestyle living trod beyond consensuality. It was a chaotic period that calmer minds managed to bring to a truce with the concept of “YKIOK.” As long as a person found a way to practice their passions safely, responsibly and consensually, they argued, then “your kink is OK.” It’s “live and let live” set into a strict on-paper legislative policy (what else would you expect from control freaks :) ?). Personally, I don’t understand “adult babies” play (adults in diapers, etc.), but I’ve learned enough about it to know that it is not the same thing as pedophilia, and for some people even seems to provide a catharsis. It’s not my “thing,” but if it stays within safe, responsible, consensual and respectful behaviour, I see no other reason to vilify it. The trans community, with its many divisions that sometimes seem to be from entirely different planets, would do well to learn from “YKIOK” — although here, the work “kink” would often be a misnomer (substitute “identity?”).
....
Communication. I don’t think I’ve ever seen another environment that so earnestly encouraged open, soul-baring and honest communication. Now, some of what we communicate is coloured by our personal beliefs and biases of the moment, and some of it is clouded by our own personal confusions, but it is still often as honest as we are capable of — which is all that one can ask. Too, as one becomes more jaded, it becomes far more difficult to bare oneself in this way, but when one finds a partner with whom one is able, nothing else compares.

I really can't stay

Since my mother just referred to me as a lady *twitches*...as taken from SGO on facebook, my preferred titles and such.
