BODY SHAME, BODY PRIDE: LESSONS FROM THE DISABILITY RIGHTS MOVEMENT by Eli Clare
Late at night
as I trace the long curve of your body,
tremors touch skin, reach inside,
and I expect to be taunted, only to have you
rise beneath my hands, ask for more.

This post is about pansexuality.
A warning:
I have had people suggest that since ‘pan’ in this context means ‘everything’, that means that pansexuals are open to bestiality, and pedophilia. Therefore I shouldn’t label myself with that word.
The hetero- in heterosexual comes from the greek ‘heteros’ that means ‘different’. So clearly, heterosexuals must all want to fuck [...]

I have been considering beauty myths recently. Since my post on Monstrous Gender actually.

I spent last night reading “A Distant Soil” 1-4. I don’t have the final volume, curse it! *weeps hysterically*
They are awesome books. I love the art, simply because it is incredibly beautiful. Its made clear in the later volumes that the art itself is not idealising normality, but in fact deliberately beautiful. Ugly characters start [...]
Coming out bit by bit…
Posted by: Ryan on: December 28, 2007
So I officially came out as a Lesbian on my 22nd Birthday. I had been kinda out as a bisexual for quite a while, so it wasn’t really that big a deal to most of my friends. I don’t think that many of them understood the distinction I was placing on Officially Coming Out, as [...]
