I posted about my POTA activation for the #YL_POTA_Party on my blog.

Bonus! I've included some pictures too!

Next time I hope to take more pictures.

“I honor women doing labor organizing and community outreach. I honor cis and trans women, immigrant women, stay at home moms, women in the fields, women cleaning bathrooms, women running businesses, women making art…”

For #internationalwomensday I’m watching a movie with a strong woman. One of the first movies I remember seeing with a woman who wasn’t “just” a “mom”, or “girlfriend” or “love interest”. (Not that any of those things are”just” anything)

Which is ironic, because she literally just called herself “the mother of the future” in this scene.

But of course, she becomes much more than that, especially in subsequent movies.

Sarah Connor became more than a strong woman, she became the saviour of the human race by preparing her son for his responsibility. That’s a fairly high pedestal.

Also, Arnold’s animatronic double is ridiculous in this movie. But @Tree says the real Arnold has a nice bare bum.

Disabled women are more likely to experience abuse than their non disabled peers.

We’re often trapped with caregivers who treat us badly & lack the financial support to leave. We may also be physically dependent on the abuser for basic activities of daily living.

Many disability benefits are cut if you marry or cohabitate, which further enforces dependency.

For International Women’s Day help us fight for a universal basic income, better social and medical support and access so that we may regain as much autonomy as possible.

As an American transgender woman, I feel pretty shitty on this International Women's Day. My government is aggressively telling the world that people like me don't belong and should not be celebrated or even acknowledged. They are backing that up with policy changes, erasing us from history, and using language that paints us as deceitful predators.
I can't go back. I won't go back.
I won't give up either.
But I'm still scared and powerless.

If you have a transgender woman in your life as family, friend, or acquaintance, please take a moment to remind them that they matter and that their identify is valid.
It could save a life.

Today is #InternationalWomensDay, and its the perfect time to reflect on the incredible strength and creativity of women everywhere.

We're constantly inspired by the stories women tell through their work and the way they quietly shore up so many structures of our lives, like this monastery wall.

Happy #internationalwomensday

Trans women are women.

But you don't have to agree with me on that to know that demonizing people for a harmless characteristic, telling the public they are an "enemy within," and passing highly targeted legislation intended to deny them access to public life is immoral, undemocratic, and dangerous to us all.
