Trigger warning: Discussion of sexual abuse...
cassket:
I saw a news report that said that a staff member at a rehabilitation centre for people with disabilities has been arrested for sexually abusing the people he was assigned to help. It also said that there is a possibility that the abuse has been going on since 1985.
Am I surprised? No.
Am I angry? Yes.
It’s frustrating to think that it took this long for the people who were abused to...

I reblogged a post on this yesterday and enjoyed seeing people’s comments on it so I thought I would share my own and invite you all to share yours as well.
The idea is that like some people are transgender and feel they are one gender while their body is another, there are some people who are able-bodied and feel that their true form is a version of what society describes as...
Trans Sexuality - A Safe Sex Zine →

tobitastic:
Safe sex information is almost universally designed for non-trans (and straight) folks, and then that information is given to us when and where it applies. However, there is a lot of information that is unique to trans people and trans bodies that never gets included. This zine answers the question, what would sex ed look like if it was...
I know I promised to respond to the question about transableism but my hands are shaking and I need to go take some inadequate pain medication. Also, this ptsd induced anxiety is starting to become resentful at having been repressed for so long. So I most likely won’t get around to it today. It seems like my to-do list always exceeds my body’s capabilities. Sorry.

Dear James Cameron, I like my characters crippled
I am disappointed by the tentative crippling of characters in popular culture.
I want my characters crippled without apology. I want my characters to be broken and twisted with a permanence. I don’t want my charcters ailments or dysfunctions reversed, erased, and forgotten; I want them thrown in your audiences’ faces like a scalding pot of revelation and ingrained in their minds with...

radicalqueery:
Culturally, socially, and physically, we assign humans a gender based on appearance. Popular culture has very rigid definitions of ‘male’ and ‘female’ and imposes them on today’s youth at any costs. Seventeen, Teen Beat, the list goes on. How to make the cute boy in homeroom notice you with this new pair of jeans, this new brand of makeup, and so forth. Or, for the boys…If...
Lube and Sex Toys: Making the Right Combinations.
lets-blog-about-sex-baby:
So you’re standing in a sex shop in front a row full of lubes. Problem is, there’s about five thousand different types of lube, and you have no idea which one is safe for your toys and right for you. BUT, have no fear. Here are some things to remember and keep in mind when looking at the different types of lube, and which ones are best for your toys.

Ouch, shit. I want to ask if there’s much damage, but I’ll appreciate it if that’s too much of a thing :(
Broken axel and caster fork; it’s probably not salvageable.
I feel like I murdered it.
girl-in-a-wheelchair replied to your post: Fucking street curbs.
They suck ass. I got caught out by one that wasn’t dropped all the way to the road a couple of weeks ago. Did one get you?
Yeah, usually I can manage them without to much trouble but my wheelchair apparently couldn’t handle any more abuse.
I think I would take them seriously if they only looked imposing…

I hate that everyone I know claims that they can’t smell anything
You all lie.
I believe that smell comes from some sort of very powerful spray used to cover up the smell of confined rooms and necrotic tissue. I work in a hospital (clerical...

I actually save my hospital things, especially things like blankets. But I’m a packrat.
But it smells like hospital…and reminds me of hospital…and physical hospital mementos are not something I need. I just can’t think of anything positive to associate with that place

girl-in-a-wheelchair asked: How awesome are flying lawnmowers?
Anonymous asked: Hey, I just saw a post you responded to this morning. I'm curious- where do you stand on the integration of children with disability into the classroom? I definitely think they should be in the schools- but I also think they need their own classrooms. More so that they have a safe place- than an issue of 'letting other kids stay at their own pace'.

malinvestmentspecialist:
Here.
This is a sensitive issue here. I want to disclaim that I do not have a personal vendetta against disabled people.
Jim Franklin is disabled. He thinks that the disabled should have the right to attend school with regular kids. I have two major issues with this - the first far more offensive than the second.

neurodivergentsexuality:
by Devyn
An autistic woman and sexual abuse survivor was just declared to be “incapable of consent” in the UK. Let me repeat that: someone who has experienced and survived genuine sexual assault was just banned, against her wishes, from having consensual sex.
And I feel like, this duality—forced “sexlessness” paired with forced sex—is so fundamental to the ways that...

lizziegoneastray:
Why is this? Because sex-positivity is not intended to be about personally wanting to have sex; it’s about supporting the right of all people of all genders to have as much or as little sex as they want without being judged by arbitrary standards of “purity” or “experience.” It’s about believing that other people’s bodies, and the ways in which they do or do not choose to...
