who is this artist and do they take requests
Could someone who wears the burqa (or has a family member who does) comment on this situation?
The full question was, should women who cover their faces for religious reasons have to lift it and show their face when they need to be identified, such as when they’re picking up children from a…
To be fair, because so many white people suffer “Race Blindness”, women who were burqas and hijabs can get away with using eachothers’ IDs. This is why the “Middle-Easterners can’t drive” stereotype exists - Race Blindness, a.k.a., “they all look the same to me”; one woman in the family gets a driver’s license and then all the other women just use the same one. Yes, it actually happens, I’m not drinking haterade. I don’t think it’s right to discriminate, but sometimes you have to make some sort of concession. The unfortunate part is that this is the only group of people that habitually cover their faces, so we can’t say, “But would they do this if they WEREN’T Muslim?”. There’s no answer, so it’s not strictly a racism issue or strictly a security issue. It’s both.
I’m sorry if this sounds disjointed, I haven’t been getting much sleep…

no.
well then.
Lol. whites and yellows
This girl needs to read a few books.
Geez, Heather Lane. I hope you never have to job interview with a Black person, or a “yellow” for that matter, who knows how to Google, Heather Lane.
ARE YOU A REAL PERSON?!? WHO EVEN WHAT?? SERIOUSLY WHAT ARE YOU. DID YOU TIME TRAVEL HERE FROM 1853 BECAUSE I DON’T UNDERSTAND.
What? What? Does. Not. Compute.
You know, I know people think like this. I just personally feel that before the widespread access to the internet, most people wouldn’t say shit like this outloud. You may argue amongst yourselves if this is a good or bad thing.
i. just. cant. >.<
Wut? Harsher environments? Have you been to Africa?
^^^That’s what I was thinking.
The use of the word “you’re” implies that she is directly saying this to someone else - presumably a black person. Despicable.
Hey, Heather Lane, little white blonde girl with chubby cheeks wearing a turquoise shirt in her Facebook profile picture, guess what? YOU’RE RACIST. Fail.

Why yes I am a horrible bitch
My Tumblr Tuesday recommendation.
This is one of the fastest jumps to Godwin’s Law I’ve ever seen.
That is one of the most hilariously unbalanced rants I’ve ever seen.
The movie is still shit, though.
yeah, this post is long - but please read it. it’s important that you do. I also want to preface this with a little disclaimer. so:
I know that putting naked (or nearly naked) photos on the internet is stupid and can harm potential options of employment. thankfully for me, I want to be a photographer, so photos of me on the internet is probably a good thing.
also, I used to have an eating disorder. a bad one. even two years later, I’m still not content with my body. that, coupled with my regular old transsexual grade dysphoria, means that taking this and putting up here took a lot of courage.
so, if if was such a big fucking scary deal, why did I do it?
this is why.
Christian Porter, the Attorney General of Western Australia, feels that it’s the job of “the community” to decide who is and isn’t allowed to be a man. He appealed the decision made by the courts to let these guys be legally recognised as male. He did not do it on a basis of reproductive rights, on a basis of any medical fact, or on a basis of legal classification.
Do you know why he doesn’t think they should be allowed to be recognised as men?
Because their bodies do not comply with “community standards” of what a male looks like.
Apparently, my genitalia is now the community’s concern. Apparently, for me and any other trans man in WA to be recognised as who we truly are, we now need to cut out our internal organs and remodel our genitals to suit some “standard” set up by a “community”.
What community, you ask? If I knew, I’d tell you. Seems “the community” haven’t been asked what they think constitutes a man. They haven’t been given a survey with a medical explanation of transsexualism or a photograph of these guys in states of undress, with their masculine figures and flat chests and body hair. They haven’t been asked to tick a “man” or “not” box. They had no idea this was going on.
My friends were not surveyed. My parents were not surveyed. Nobody I work with was surveyed. I definitely don’t remember filling in a little piece of paper or telling someone over the phone that I didn’t think you could be a man unless you had a penis, because in my opinion, you can.
And yet Christian Porter, a man who has been appointed Attorney General not by the people, but by his own party, thinks he has a right to decide what “the community” does and does not believe.
Dear tumblr: This is a call to action.
Aram, one of the guys in question, has started a facebook group called Out Of The Box. Through this group, he’s asking people to write letters to Christian Porter, expressing that they are unhappy with his appeal and with the decision that the court has made, and making it clear that in their eyes - the eyes of the community - it should not be necessary for female to male transsexuals to undergo painful, expensive and unnecessary hysterectomies and penile construction surgery just so they can be legally recognised as male. Many trans guys don’t want or need to have penile construction surgery. It hurts, it has a long healing time, it costs a shitload, it often has substandard results, and it is not even performed in Australia. You can’t have a male passport to travel outside the country without getting surgery that you can only get by travelling outside the country. Because that’s totally fair.
This case is probably going to set a precedent for the standard surgeries required to be legally recognised as male in Western Australia. It is of utmost importance that we nip this revolting display of bigotry in the bud, so that generations of trans guys to come can have an easier, fairer path to transition.
Please join the facebook group. Please write a letter or an email. Please reblog this photo and description so other people can hear about what’s going on.
It doesn’t matter if you’re in a different city, a different state, a different country - the more we make ourselves heard, the better. It will speak absolute volumes if people who don’t even live in Perth are contributing their opinions on this case. You can help to better not only my life, but the life of every single trans guy in WA - including the two men who originally brought this case into the general public’s eye.
If you need some points to include, I’ve got a massive post here where I wrote about some - just some, not even all - of the reasons that it’s fucking ridiculous and immoral to force people to conform to these guidelines of what a man is and isn’t.
Seriously, if you guys even just flick him a quick email that’s only a few paragraphs long, it would mean the world to me and a lot of other people.
And now, I get off my soap box. Enjoy my weirdly contorted I-don’t-even-know-what’s-happening-I-look-badly-photoshopped topless tuesday >:3
Please read this.
another great example of how policing gender turns the body into a public space.
RAGE.
Holy fuck, that guy is hot.

…Oh Durr!
Sorry!
So many of my followers are from the States I just assume. >__<
Your best bet is probably to check out ARCC. It’s a great organization with info, pamphlets and I think you’ll be able to find if any clinics around you need help.
It’s less likely in…
Awesome! Thanks. :)
Live in New Jersey? Want to help a clinic?
Consider volunteering or Escorting for these local clinics targeted by anti-choice groups!
Note: The clinics request no counter-protesting during clinic hours, just help for the women.
Love,

How do you go about doing, this, anyway? I’d love to do this in my free time, assuming there’s an abortion clinic in the Cambridge/K-W area.
Go here: Plannedparenthood.org
Enter your zip code, that should give you the nearest Planned Parenthood’s contact information. Call them and ask if they need escorts or other volunteers.
If there’s not a Planned Parenthood near you, call them anyways and see if they know of one near you.
Glad you’re interested!
Love,
Rabble
Thanks, sweetie, but this is only for the states… I’m in Canadurr. XD

She didn’t have to be anonymous. Nothing that happened here was something she did wrong. :( IL her though. <3

Two Wrongs Make A Right of the Day: 23-year-old skateboarder Jacob Isom snatched a Quran from the hands of an Amarillo, Texas resident who had doused it with kerosene and was preparing to torch it.
“Snuck up behind him and took his Quran,” Isom told News Channel 10. “He said something about burning the Quran And I was like, ‘Dude, you have no Quran,’ and ran off.”
And thus, a new war cry was born.

LMAO this guy is my hero
Fucking awesome. :D
This is a really beautiful story. After hearing that a radical Christian group was planning on burning Qu’rans, a Unitarian Universalist church started a phone tree and gathered people of all beliefs and religions to protest and stop the burnings.
And then this guy actually pulled a kerosene-doused book off a grill right before it was set on fire.
I’m gonna fuck the shit outta that Jacob guy. <3
