– “Why is Reddit so Anti-Women?” Fascinating (and highly sensical) approach here, underscoring what gets lost when education (policy) is viewed as strictly the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields (the globally profitable/innovation-driven ones) at the expense of social/cultural...

Every now and then, something comes along on your dash that opens your eyes and makes you question assumptions you didn’t even realize you were making.

While I wish I had time to write actual blog posts (or anything longer than a grocery list), I do not.
So imagine my excitement when I came across this great article on vernix caseosa (the white, cream cheesey coating so many newborns are covered in at birth) by Marie at Birth Bliss. She cites many articles on vernix that prove, in her words,

So my sister’s cat, Peppy, has a urinary tract infection and maybe a kidney stone so bad he will die from it if he still can’t pee on his own when they take the catheter out. He’s only 3.
My sister loves this cat to death; she’s 16 and her name is Alexa. She’s a wreck over this and I can’t be there with her because she’s in Pennsylvania and I’m in...

A Bug's Life: The Importance Of Naming Oneself
Cathy Brennan: Don't call me cis! I am not cis!
Trans* Woman: Okay, I think you have a different understanding of the term than I do, but I support the right to self-identify so I won't use it for you specifically.
Cathy Brennan: Absolutely. The right to name oneself is crucial. The right to self-identify is crucial.
Trans* Woman: So you understand that I self-identify as female.
Cathy Brennan: And I self-identify you as male.
Trans* Woman: You can't actually do that.
Cathy Brennan: Don't take away my right to self-identify you!
Trans* Woman: ...I think you miss the point of "self-identify". The key word here is "self".
Cathy Brennan: Uh, right, dude, and my self identifies you as male. Have you even BEEN to law school?
Trans* Woman: But you don't get to self-identify for other people. You are in charge of your own identity. That's what self-identify means.
Cathy Brennan: Okay, I get it. I myself identify as female.
Trans* Woman: Yes.
Cathy Brennan: And therefore you must be male.
Trans* Woman: But what about the right to self-identify?
Cathy Brennan: It is crucial. That's why you must not infringe upon my right to self-identify by being female. I was here first.
Trans* Woman: That's not actually a...
Cathy Brennan: FIRST!
Trans* Woman: ...
Cathy Brennan: By the way, I found out your legal name so I'm a call you Josh.
Trans* Woman: ...
Cathy Brennan: Now I self-identify as someone who is being threatened by you. Why are you so violent, Josh?
