From One Survivor to Another: Trying to Change Your Pronouns on Facebook?

emmettforever:

There’s a helpful video on Ciscentrismsucks.tumblr.com on how to change your pronouns for anybody who’s lookin’ to. (http://ciscentrismsucks.tumblr.com/post/6065334634/if-anyone-is-looking-for-how-to-change-your-pronouns-to)

If you can’t read or see what the person is editing, here’s the written version:

1. Go to the ‘Basic Info’ section of your ‘About You’ page.

2. Right-click on the box that offers the “female” or “male” option of your sex, and click the option to “Inspect Element.”

3. Scroll to where the code deals with sex. There’s a formula saying “‘1’: female and ‘2’: male”. What you’ll want to do is right-click that whole line and opt to “Edit as HTML.”

4. When you get to that step, change the value of male to “0”, and change the word ‘male’ to whatever you want. (I did a smiley face).

4. You can close out of the code now. So, back in your ‘about you’ section, click on the option-box for female/male, and opt for whichever word you put inside your other option. 

5. Make sure you save! Good luck, and happy genderfucking.

cool. Funktioniert das? *ins Bett fall*

most relevant zoidberg meme.

Half of the shit I see getting reblogged that deals with sociology or gender needs this.

Best Zoidberg/Sociology meme EVER

Greatest thing I’ve seen today.

(Zoidberg shouting from a seat:

YOUR SAMPLE SIZES ARE SMALL

YOUR STANDARD DEVIATIONS ARE HIGH

YOUR CONCLUSION MEANS NOTHING

AND YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD)

(via moniquill)

“Many men who harass women say their intent is to compliment them, but why do they usually not “compliment” women who are accompanied by other men and often only do it when a woman is alone? Why do they tend to object to other men “complimenting” their female significant other (if applicable), female friends, or female family members? Why do some men grow hostile and violent when women do not thank them and act flattered? Why do they feel compelled to compliment women at all? Rarely are they expecting a date. Many times they do not even wait to see a woman’s reaction as they fly by in their car or as they turn to start harassing the next woman. They are doing it to exert their power, to entertain their friends, to relieve boredom, or do demonstrate that they can evaluate a complete stranger to her face, just because she is a woman.”

Stop Street Harassment: Holly Kearl (via completelymoribund)

The thing that so many men need to understand is that women do not consider it a compliment when they are being harassed on the street. Women usually feel either embarrassed or terrified or a combination of the two. So stop fucking doing it.

it’s so telling that men tend to do this when they’re in a group of other men. and i’ve never had it happen when i’m hanging out with dudes, especially not when i’m with my ginormous dad (most men don’t give a fuck about harassing me if i’m with my mom who is as small as i am). so if it isn’t sexual, or threatening, and you just want to ~make me smile~ then why can you only do it when i’m perceived as vulnerable?

(via hyper—ballad)

I would add that it rarely happens or when I am around men who know that I am dating someone at that time. Many men (certainly not all) are willing to lay off if they perceive that you are “owned” - otherwise, you’re public property, and they’re free to treat you however they like. Any competition that erupts is less to flatter the woman than to establish temporary rights to her, even if they must degrade her to do so.

that or the nature of the so-called compliments will change if youre w a man. they will go from a respectful “you look beautiful this evening” when youre w a dude to some vulgar shit about your pussy, if youre alone. because youre not worthy of respect as just a woman.

My sister got a flat tire in the freeway yesterday. She had nine cars roll down their window and yell how good she looked and how great her ass was, but not a single car stopped to help her.

Thanks for the compliments, you pieces of crap.

Does Celestino Piatti draw the best animals?  We’re on the same page here, no?

Question for anyone of color who also has Asperger’s syndrome (particularly women) or is otherwise on the spectrum

does anyone know of any sites/forums where specifically WOC with asperger’s like, idk discuss things? Cause I’m a basically a pro googler and I’ve been searching and haven’t been able to find anything but random individual blog posts/articles. And it’s hard to imagine that on all of the internets there’s no site like that.

Presenting: Autism “Ally” bingo card for April 2!

Row 1: 

• “I know someone/my son/daughter has autism so I know what I’m talking about!”

• “*Blames Obama*”
• “Everyone post your pics of autistic kids and blue shirts and puzzle pieces!!!”
• “Well, you’ll never know what it’s like to RAISE an autistic, so THERE! You can’t tell me I’m wrong now!”
• “1 in 88 you guys! It’s an epidemic!”

Row 2:

• “We need a cure for autism NOW! Before it affects anyone else!”
• “Your anger at me offending you makes me mad and offended!”
• “Donate to my Autism Speaks walk!”
• “Well, you’re CLEARLY high functioning, so you’re not the one who needs help.”
• Picture has a puzzle piece in it.

Row 3:

• “Well, you don’t know what’s best for yourself! Let those who DO make the decisions!”
• “Wow, you’re such an inspiration, especially being autistic!”
• Free Space
• “YOUR ANGER IS BULLYING ME!”
• “Autism awareness! Don’t vaccinate your children!”

Row 4:

Row 5:

• “Why are you complaining about my language? It’s for autism awareness! Care about that!” 
• “I work just as hard/harder than you do because my friend/spouse/sibling/ offspring is autistic!” 

Flailing over the awesomeness.

I cringe at every one of these remarks. *sigh*

It’s ridiculous when these non-autistic people think they have more knowledge about the disorder than you do.

—cutting this—

What fun~ I want to make a drinking game now. xD

Though I have to say I’ve always loved the puzzle pieces. You can not get a better awareness color than multicolored puzzlepieces. Fuck pink or yellow, GOT PUZZLES.

I’m curious though, I see all this hate for Autism speaks, but what did they do? I’ve never heard what they did wrong, but I imagine its pretty bad. xD So I’m really curious what’s up with that.

Have been met with every single one of these in real life, including being told “well you only have Aspergers, so your opinion on real autism is invalid.”
