Really, look at the home life of any given leftist. I can guarantee you they’re either from a broken home, a single mother, or had a father that worked too hard for them to maintain their spoiled lifestyle, so they never had him around.

My parents have been married since 1964, making it a grand total of 48 years. Mind you, they were separated by the Atlantic Ocean for 11 years. However, I was born 9 months after my father was finally able to come over to Miami from Cuba. Both my parents have been an integral part of my life since the day I was born. Both of them taught me to be strong and independent. They taught me the value of a dollar from an early age. They supported and encouraged my artistic endeavors, and went to every single gallery show I had. My father worked like a dog in a factory, true, but he was always there for me. He always made time for me. My parents have their faults, but I wouldn’t trade them for anything in the world. They are my rock, and I thank God every day they are my parents.

23 years for my mum and dad. still going strong.

Militantly anti-abortion rights group Live Action sure acted like it had exposed some big-time fuckery in its latest Planned Parenthood hidden camera sting operation. From a casual observer’s perspective, the sting captured what appears to be footage of a Planned Parenthood employee enthusiastically endorsing sex-selective abortion for a woman who claimed that she didn’t want another baby girl. But this edition, like every other undercover sting video Live Action has ever produced, was edited heavily, omitting key moments in the interaction and artificially making Planned Parenthood look artificially bad. I’m shocked!

Not that the original sting video Live Action released was that damning to begin with — a swift response statement from Planned Parenthood clarified that employees of the family planning organization are to follow a specific protocol in sensitive situations like the one presented by the Live Action actor, and that the employee featured in the video didn’t follow protocol.

Regardless, the employee did do a few things that weren’t included in Live Action’s final cut. For one thing, the employee asked the pregnant woman if they’d considered adoption instead of abortion. She also declined to give credence to tests that purport to help couples determine the sex of the fetus early in pregnancy. She also asked the woman if she was sure, 100% sure, that she wanted to terminate her pregnancy. When the Live Action actress asked the Planned Parenthood if there was a specific doctor she’d recommend to perform a sex-selective abortion, the Planned Parenthood employee said she didn’t know of any provider who specifically specialized in sex selection.

Oh my god I am so shocked that these anti-choicers lied.

Again.

Wow. News, man. News.

i am astounded that such an obviously unbiased and moral association would lie like th- oh. oh wait.

We need to stop this.

(Yes, “we,” not “you.” I am one of you and I can’t pretend not to be).

You know why cis people are called cis scum? You know why said scum is supposed to die? And you know why every single one of us is guilty by association?

Because shit like “dearnoncispeople” exists. Because there are cis people out there who whine and cry about having “cis” as an identifier because they don’t like being identified. Because when us cis people feel the discomfort of hearing examples of cissexism pointed out to us, we don’t think it applies to us.

The thing is, we may want to say that just because we remember someone’s desired pronouns correctly or we go out of our way to say “trans women are real women!” that we are some sort of revolutionary. We’re not. I am not. You know what that’s called? That’s called being a decent fucking human being.

And the problem is, for people like me who feel compelled to say “we’re not all like that” (and trust me, I’ve learned to stop fucking going to that excuse), we’re really over-simplifying. Cis people are not simply divided into two groups (people who openly hate trans* people and people who don’t). It’s a lot more complicated than that. There are people who recognize a trans* person’s right to exist but still go on saying that they have “mental illnesses,” that the desire for surgery or hormone treatment is “vanity,” and 

A little while ago I came under some fire for identifying myself as “not scum” and at first I felt attacked. Then I opened my fucking ears and realized that what they were saying is true. We can’t just go around patting ourselves on the back for being begrudgingly tolerant.

You - and I - need to start here: instead of trying to just say that we’re “not all like that,” we all need to apologize for what we have done and let happen. And even then, we can’t just say something like “I’m sorry for what other cis people have done.”

And then we need to make it better.

Sincerely,

Bree

So if anyone wants an example of doing shit right, this post is a pretty good example.
