Re: Guest blog: TERFism, or why trans women should matter to youth-lovers

Seeing as this thread is open, I may as well make a few notes on my article.

Re: Similar to gay rights, but also different.


It's a fair point and I don't know what impact that had. From what I understand, in Britain lesbian acts were never criminalised but were marginalised and looked at in a negative way. There was a report early in the 20th century that said the reason it wouldn't be criminalised was because this ...

Re: Similar to gay rights, but also different.


- Gays had no potential allies. No one related to gays, no one cared about the gay movement.

Re: Please tell me about your platonic friendships!

You can cite me by username.

When I was about eleven, I lived in something of a poor neighborhood. For some reason, I just didn't get along with many of the other neighbors. Didn't care for them - even the ones who were alright. However, there was this one boy who was, let's say, about six or seven ...

Re: Girls or boys?

Always loved both. When it comes to children, my most major crush has been on a girl, but this has much more to do with the fact that it's about a 50/50 split as far as the population goes! Boys are cute, girls are cute, whatever am I supposed to do when they're all so cute?
