Some Ways to Improve Communication
sexreeducated:
Please note, these aren’t perfect, but they can be helpful for some people
By Leslie Becker-Phelps, PhD
The day’s activities often take partners away from each other as they do their individual jobs or activities. This separation allows each partner to have their own experiences and pursue their own interests, but it can lead them to exist in separate lives, creating a rift...

and, gurl, it did not go well. She said that she has stopped saying the n word(and bragged that her friend has a timer on his phone to count how long it’s been since she last said it[gag]), although she said it a handful of times during the meeting. She said, at least three times, “I apologize if I hurt your feelings,” but refused to apologize publicly or issue a...

Art of Transliness: Trans* and Queer: Tips for... →
artoftransliness:
Coming out to your parents/family as trans* can be pretty difficult. Identifying as gay, queer, pansexual, asexual, bisexual, or anything else that deviates from the “norm” can further complicate things (we’ll be using queer as a catch-all term in this article, although you may fall under the…

What do you do when you look through the peephole and see a badge?
Remember: You do not have to let the police in the house unless they have a warrant — or probable cause. If you’re having a party, turn off the music, ask your guests to chill, and ask that anyone who’s too intoxicated carry on in another room.
Go outside to speak with the cops. Close the door behind you. Although...

You have inherent worth. You don’t have to do anything to prove it, just existing is enough.
You deserve love, support and respect all the time. Not just when you did something particularly agreeable, not just when the person is in a good mood or physically and mentally well or is treated by others respectfully; you deserve to be treated well ALL THE TIME.

Sometimes I forget that not all of my followers follow the Lesbrary, so I decided to share some links here.

The Lesbrary: Self-promoting here. Honestly, though, I think the Lesbrary is a good place to start, because in addition to reviews by a team of reviewers, I also post a weekly Link Round Up, where I link to the latest...

fuckyeahsexpositivity:
OK, so this isn’t a guide, per se. It’s more of a collection of thoughts about when tacit consent can and can’t work in a relationship.
So, what is tacit consent?
Basically, it’s any consent that isn’t explicit. I’m not talking about, for example, nodding, which…

Ever wished for a porn site that was made by a trans man and had a trans man in every scene?
Ever wished you could find more porn with trans men and cis men, cis women, trans women, and other trans men?
Ever wish that it was filthy, hard core, shot in HD, ethically made, and affordable?
Ever wish it had the TROUBLEfilms stamp on it so you knew it was part of a reliable...

I just woke up to a message
strangeasanjles:
from a young trans* person who seems to be very young…might even be a minor.
They told me that they just found out that Cathy Brennan has outed them to their parents and they may not have a place to stay for very long.
This is what Cathy Brennan’s feminism looks like. Outting and endangering already marginalized youth.
She is a monster and a careless coward.

Y’all remember that Pretendbian site on wordpress where Bug mined for pictures of trans women and attempted to out them and violating copyrights in the meantime? I can’t find any more pics on it that aren’t already exposed to the net to see (for instance, Tobi Hill-Meyer’s pictures are pretty much public)
