Please help me find this article!

My uncle posted a transphobic video about how there are only two sexes/genders (the speaker was too ignorant to differentiate) and I want to link him to this article I read on how biological sex is a spectrum and how scientists only condensed it to binary to be lazy/make it simpler to talk about but ignored all the variations of biological sex. It mentions the bell curve and the variations such as XX, XY, XXY etc.

Anyone know which article this is?

VOTE

bluepoliceboxwitch:

As voting day approaches, I want to implore everyone to vote. Especially if you’re young, if you have kids, if you’re LGBT+, if you’re a woman, if you’re an ethnic or racial minority, if you’re a religious minority, if you’re an immigrant or the family of immigrants, if you have a disability. But even if you’re not, vote.

You may think that politics have nothing to do with you, but they do. They affect the likelihood and quality of an education, the kind of healthcare you rec…eive, how much you get paid, whether you have an equal chance for housing, whether you can get married, the kind of treatment you will receive in the justice system, whether you will be able to retire, whether or not action will be taken to fix the environment–which is at a pivotal point. They affect everything from gas prices to the tone of our culture. I no longer want to see out of touch male millionaires making the laws that affect us all.

Politics should reflect popular consensus, and they don’t. Politicicans have repeatedly voted for measures that the average American doesn’t support. We need to elect leaders who stand for what we believe in. We need to elect leaders who will represent us and our interests, not those of corporations and the 1%, not those of a past generation.

Please vote. You may think your vote doesn’t count, but if we all vote it will make a big difference. This is even more clear as politicians fight to make it harder to vote. Ineffective and harmful leaders stay in power if we don’t vote. They don’t want us to vote, because if we do, things will change.

Remember that those in charge are actually in the minority, and if we band together we can have our voices heard. Vote for positive change. Vote for the ideals of compassion, social justice, equity, freedom, human rights, social progress, and policy based on science. Vote against racists, misogynists, homophobes, transphobes, xenophobes, classists, anti-semetics, literal white supremacists and nazis in some areas. It’s an action that we have control over, that we can use to fix this mess that our country is in.

Vote.

Why thank you good sir. I’m glad I finally learned how to link the spotify playlist without my name and picture being attached. It makes it so much more of an experience rather than names on a screen.

No problem! 🙂

I feel like some people get so into defending a character that was maligned by other people, that they start maligning other characters to defend their favorite character, that was only maligned in the first place because other people had another favorite character. And it’s a downward negative spiral. You can defend and love a character, without constantly criticizing other characters.

Agreed. Sometimes I get a little angry at characters for their actions relating to other characters (usually Ron, but also Luna, to a certain extent). My apologies. 

That moment when you’re listening to a song and some indescribable nostalgic wisp flutters from the past and glides through your head and right back out again. A fleeting impression of times from before, that you can’t catch hold of–like smoke going through your fingertips as you grasp at it. You can see it for a moment, but it’ll never be tangible enough to touch or fully-formed enough to even perceive it completely.
