High schooler arrested, expelled for same-sex relationship

Sun, 19 May 2013 10:58:37 -0700

High schooler arrested, expelled for same-sex relationship:

gaywrites:

A teenager in Florida has been expelled from school and charged with two felonies simply because her girlfriend’s parents disapprove of their relationship. She now faces two years of house arrest and a year of probation.

Kaitlyn Hunt was a popular student at Sebastian River High School, participating in everything from cheerleading to basketball. Hunt began dating another female student and the latter girl’s parents became enraged, according to Hunt’s parents. Kaitlyn was 17 at the time the relationship began, while her girlfriend was 15. Upon Kaitlyn’s 18th birthday, her girlfriend’s parents sent the police to the Hunt home and the teenager was arrested.

Hunt was charged with two felony counts of lewd and lascivious battery on a child. Then, weeks before her graduation, Hunt was expelled from school.

“[The girlfriend’s parents] are out to destroy my daughter,” Hunt’s mother told the Examiner, “because they feel like she ‘made’ their daughter gay. They see being gay as wrong and they blame my daughter. Of course, I see it 100% differently. I don’t see or label these girls as gay. They are teenagers in high school experimenting with their sexuality — with mutual consent. And even if their daughter is gay, who cares? She is still their daughter.”

Infuriating. So many things wrong with this.

First, this is a case of homophobic parents blackmailing a girl they don’t like in a slimy, roundabout way that serves to mask their bigotry. I can’t believe what a cheap shot they took. Absolutely disgusting.

Second, “I don’t see these girls as gay”? Cool, thanks, Mom. Thank goodness she’s not disowning her daughter, but I don’t totally see this as being supportive either.

Third, there’s a petition circulating to drop or lessen the charges against Kaitlyn. Go sign it. And try not to lose faith in humanity, even though people like this exist.

Women Are Taking Over the World by Being Fifty Percent of It

Fri, 17 May 2013 22:06:40 -0700

mansplained:

Once at a family gathering, I believe my aunt had asked me about my studies in Liberal Arts at university when my father (who failed high school) rather abruptly asked how many of my professors were female. Half of my brain was attempting to think of a retort, while the other half was actually counting. (Perhaps unfortunately) the mathematical side finished first and I replied; “As it just so happens, exactly 50 %. Why?”

With a grin on his face that I recognized as when his point had been proven he chuckled and said; “Well you know, women are taking over the world.”

Fifty percent. Taking over the world. Of course, neither myself nor my aunt could possibly reply to something so illogical, and he took our silence as a sign he had clearly won that debate.

Women Out-Math Men? Statistically Impossible!

Wed, 15 May 2013 09:42:53 -0700

mansplained:

I am taking an extremely challenging math-based logic class as I work toward my Bachelor’s degree. Half the class failed the first exam. As the prof was about to hand back the second exam, he took the time to give us some statistics that were, to him, nearly impossible to comprehend. The average score for the women in class was 94%, whereas the highest score for any man in the class was only in the 40th percentile of the women’s lowest scores. I was bursting with pride, since I had gotten 100%, and was basking in the glow of women being publicly acknowledged as better at math than men. It took me a couple days to register the prof’s utter incredulity at the women so thoroughly trouncing the men! Unmansplainable!

People being angry about ~dem gays~ on Target’s Facebook.

I just want to give my two cents on this and tell you a story.

A couple weeks ago, I was hired at Target. I have a job at Target. Not a big deal right?

It is a big deal because i’m a transman.

It doesn’t take a genius to conclude that it’s hard for me, my brothers, and sisters to get a job. There are legal restraints regarding the job and if you don’t pass, it’s hard to be taken seriously at a job interview.

Right on the application, it asks what your preferred name is. It also asks if there is anything that target should know. I put the fact that I am a transman, expecting not to get a call because usually when you put that down, people will throw out the application. I got TWO interviews.

At the interview, they asked me about it. I told them I am on hormones and they told me that they didn’t care. Not in the sense that they don’t emotionally care, but that it didn’t matter. I was male and that’s all that mattered. They also told me that they give sex same couples benefits in states that do not recognize them as a married couple.

At my job orientation, I was not misgendered once. Even my supervisors who weren’t sure of my gender avoided pronoun use, which I found only happens when you’ve had pronoun training. They gave me a name tag with my preferred name and didn’t ask questions. I felt safe and respected, which is huge for a trans* person.

TLDR: Target is amazing not just for the LGB, but also the T. Shop there for the rest of your life.

Target has had its share of problems, but their willingness to hire LGBT folks has always impressed me. I live in an area with a large LGBT community - all four of the letters well-represented. And the staff at my local Target reflects that. It’s so nice and sadly unexpected to see large companies stepping up like that.

sad-teeth:

So today Angelina Jolie had double mastectomy, which is the removal of one’s breasts, to prevent Breast cancer. So instead of praising Angelina on her bravery, men on Twitter decided to ridicule her, even calling her stupid for removing her breasts. For those of you on Tumblr that are attacking Feminists about being delusional about sexism against women and misogyny here’s your fucking proof that sexism and misogyny exists.
