Blog switch

As Jen is spending first semester abroad in a country where homosexuality and all that is punishable by jail time, Seth will be doing most/all of the updates for the next four months. To make that easier, we’ve shifted the blog to a secondary one so adding content from many people is simpler. The url is the same, ftwtf.tumblr.com, but I’m not sure how those who are following us would switch over in this case (automatically?), so if you still want to stalk us, be sure to update your records! :)

genderqueer: pansexualpride: sugarysalvation: Guest Post: Go Where? Sex, Gender, and Toilets » Sociological Images A really cool article featuring many different restroom signs. The article isn’t only about signs: it shows how “washroom signs are very telling of the way societies construct gender. They identify the male as the universal and the female as the variation. They express expectations of gender performance. And they conflate gender with sex.” It’s a really good insight into how public restrooms (and their signs) reflect so many gross assumptions around gender, sex and sexuality: “The segregation of washrooms is based on an assumption of heterosexuality, predatory in men and passive and vulnerable in women; the association of sexuality with sex, and the conflation of sex and gender. In other words, it is nonsensical.”

genderqueer: androstyle: drinkingfor11: Shes stunning, I love this photo Is this definitely a girl? Either way, gorgeous. Edit: yep, it is. I wish I had a jaw like that. Edit 2: I know a guy who looks like this. He’s beautiful. You know you have a queer perspective when you no longer look for visual cues as to a person’s gender. Nothing can be assumed! Preeeeeeeeetty.

So cute! fuckyeahguyskissing: My boyfriend Michael and I on vacation in Monterey, California. I have been with him for almost half a year and I have never been happier in my life. This boy lights up my life and has given me more than I could have ever hoped for. I know he will always be there for me when I need him

So cute!
