“Being gay is not a disorder. Being transgender is not a malady that requires a cure. Had I been Leelah Alcorn’s physician, I would have told her exactly that. And that’s the message I want other doctors, nurses, health professionals, and public health leaders to help get out to parents and children who may be confronting these issues.” –

Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, speaking today on a conference call about White House support for bans on “ex-gay” torture.

Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it’s not because they enjoy solitude. It’s because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.

Commander, I always used to consider that you had a definite anti-authoritarian streak in you.”

“It seems that you have managed to retain this even though you are authority.”

The awkward moment when you make a bullshit sexist meme about “fake geek girls”, but aren’t quite geek enough yourself to know that Spock did hold the rank of Captain from Star Trek II to VI, making the “fake geek girl” in this scenario 8,000 per cent more legit geek than you.

Ok Dr. Phil’s wife, Robin, (yes groan, but listen up) has this new app out (iPhone and Android) that’s for people in abusive relationships. It’s called Aspire News and it’s disguised as a regular news app, but when you go to the “Help” section of the app, it leads you to domestic violence resources and also has a “Go Button” that when you press it, if you’re in a compromising situation, alerts local authorities as well as local shelters and starts recording everything that is going on.

Now, if you’re looking up resources on the app and your abuser is near, simply press the X button and it brings you to a random news page. Same goes for the actual foundation site.

ITS COMPLETELY FREE

SPREAD THIS, DONT JUST “LIKE IT”

“I hear what you’re saying about objectification, but you have to understand: As a man, being friendzoned sucks. It sucks that nobody thinks I’m worthy. All these female friends, and none of them will give me a chance– In fact, one time I saved my good friend’s life by pulling her out from in front of a bus, and I didn’t even get anything out of it. She wouldn’t even consider me.”

Manslation: Despite viewing all women as vending machines where I earn sex by treating them with the most basic modicum of human decency, I will persist in thinking of myself as a “nice guy.” It does not occur to me that women who will let you purchase consent do actually exist but that sex workers require significantly more compensation from their clients than “be polite to me so that I owe you sex.” It’s inconceivable that women have sexual or romantic desires of their own or could possibly understand what it’s like to have someone they’re attracted to not be interested in them. The only reason your life has meaning is if you use it to sex me up.

Alternate manslation: I would’ve gladly let my good friend die had I known I wouldn’t get to fuck her later.

I don’t throw the term genius around loosely, but..

I had a friend who had a wallet made from a Stayfree extra long wrapper and she took it travelling in Asia and a guy picked her pocket and he dropped it and screamed when he thought he had a pad in his hand.

That is the most beautiful story I’ve ever heard
