From Pandagon:
Evangelical Fantasists as Drama Llamas... Which is actually a really interesting look at Faith vs Works/Deeds and the type of headspace that allows urban legends to flourish. It's a really cool essay.
From The Curvature:
Organization Pays Addicted Women to Undergo Permanent Sterilization -- Which is predatory, creepy, and not actually solving any problems at all. :-P
From Feministing:
Queens D.A. won't investigate transgender attack as a hate crime.
May be triggering as there's a description of the attack itself. The gal who got beaten up is okay. Definitely needed medical attention, but is okay.
AND
From Questioning Transphobia, via Hyel:
Transprose: An Open Letter.
This is, as the title suggests, an open letter to gender/queer theoriests, cis feminists, and the rest of us about the term "transmasculine", the conflation of male/masculine/man, and why this is a problem for, for example, trans men who aren't masculine-identified (or trans women who *are*).
NOTE: some of the words used in this letter (e.g.: "cisgender") were used in a context where I hadn't seen them before (e.g.: "a cisgender transsexual person"), and I had to stop and think and wrap my head around what was being said before I kept reading. Some of you may need to do the same thing, so just fyi.
Anyway. There you go, a little bit of food for thought.
