    Sex can be physical closeness without true presence. You can touch and be touched while still escaping your own body. Tantra asks something deeper: are you truly where your body is? 🌿

  8. Choking is sold to teens as a safe sexual practice. The research says it never is
    By Alyx Gorman

    More and more young people are engaging in sexual strangulation. But experts say there’s no safe pressure – and we have to start talking to teenagers about it

  16. ♂️ What Ramsey says about financial wealth applies equally to emotional, marital, familial “wealth.” Pay attention. Take responsibility.

    “Ever notice how blaming others keeps you stuck, but taking ownership feels like flipping a switch? Responsibility sets you free because it gives you the power to change your situation.”

  17. “If you think you always need to be emotionally disconnected toward your soft slides and dominant, you’ll never be able to create a happy long-term relationship in which you both feel good —so that’s a big problem right now where young men are tricked into this trap into becoming someone neither they or women like.”

    #DuaLipa you're fucking awesome

    "Dua Lipa Opening Physical #Library for #Banned and #Censored #Books"

    “Here you will find one hundred books that ask questions, or have been questioned. Some have been banned by #school districts for themes of #race or #sexuality. Others, written for #LGBTQIA+ readers, have been restricted from display"

  23. "In her preface #Hite argued that the canonical sexological works of the past 100 years – including the works of Sigmund #Freud, Alfred #Kinsey, and William #Masters and Virginia #Johnson – had constructed #femalesexuality “as essentially a response to male #sexuality and intercourse”. She set out to demonstrate that “female sexuality might have a complex nature of its own”.

    Hite argued #sex was a #culturalinstitution, not a biological one. Historically, men had defined sex in terms of their own needs and preferences, then mandated their preferences as biological."

    #Crimethinc: From #Inclusion to #Resistance - Neither Trump’s Trans Ban nor Assimilation, but Total Liberation

    2017-07-27

    [Excerpt]: "What’s radical about trans students contesting bathroom and gender assignment is the possibilities this opens for all students to contest #authority. If we don’t accept their rules regarding which toilets to use, why should we accept the legitimacy of the system that functions as a school-to-prison pipeline? While we support anything that can reduce the misery of trans kids, we also recognize that trans-inclusive bathroom policies are a safety valve intended to divert student resistance and to bolster the legitimacy of a failing public school system. As with marriage and the military, trans liberation in schools isn’t just a question of easing our inclusion into them. It would demand something more like #dismantling them altogether.

    "It’s strategic for defenders of the status quo to re-center the #LGBT rights debate around trans people in the military at this moment. As #transgender, #genderqueer, and #NonBinary communities are appearing in mass media and popular consciousness in unprecedented numbers, an optimist might speculate that US gender relations could come up for renegotiation—along with all the institutions they undergird. What better way to protect those relations and institutions than by reducing the scope of the discussion to the most reactionary formulation possible: integration into the military?

    "It’s better for both liberals and conservatives that we stop talking about radically #reconfiguring #HealthCare, #sexuality, #education, the #economy, and numerous other social institutions shot through with #patriarchal norms."

  25. CW: Tamsin's pinned post on anarres.family, my new home instance.

    Hello, anarres.family, all other servers, and all ships at sea!

    Welcome to Tamsin's Pinned Post, which includes a few things you might want to know about me.

    Yes, this is a new instance, which I intend to be my new home on the fediverse... but it's the same old nonsense.

    Please enjoy your stay, unless you're a fascist, a racist, a transphobe, a homophobe, or any other flavor of garbage person, in which case please fix your heart or die. Your choice.

    So, who the heck am I?

    Hi! I'm Tamsin: a white #GenX #queer #sapphic #nonbinary #trans #woman who likes doorstopper novels, director's cuts of movies, extended remixes of songs and albums, tabletop roleplaying games, 5-string basses, double-cutaway Les Paul Jr. guitars, beaches, forests, mountains, witchy things, late nights, lazy afternoons, writing down half of everything she thinks, and living places that haven't outlawed her.

    I'm happily monogamously married to a polymath superhero, and we share our lives with my marvelous teenaged offspring, two adorable cats, and a host of delightful friends and co-conspirators.

    Things I post about, in no particular order: #gender, #sexuality, #queerness, #QueerTheory, #transgender stuff, #transfeminine stuff, #magic, #witchcraft, #music, #books, #movies, #TTRPGs, #ADHD, #politics, #philosophy, #spirituality, making things, and whatever else is going though my brain at any given moment.

    When I talk about gender and sexuality, it's probably helpful to know that I hold a bachelor's degree in Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies (with a focus on #feminist history, queer theory, and trans studies) from the University of Washington. This doesn't make me "right" or "authoritative," but it does mean I've done some reading on the topics. Sometimes I joke that I had to get a degree to realize I'm a gay trans girl... which isn't quite true, but still makes me laugh.

    I'm exactly the kind of person who likes #ProgRock, #PunkRock, #PostPunk, #TripHop, #GirlyPop, #DarkFolk, #BlackMetal, '70s #funk, old-school #RnB, #BritishInvasion, #ArtRock, #AcidRock, #AcidFolk, anti-fascist #NeoFolk, #SingerSongwriter, #blues, #EarlyMusic, #minimalist composers, anime soundtracks, and everything #Prince ever recorded. Among other things.

    Sometimes I make things. I craft, I cook, I play (and occasionally run) tabletop role-playing games, I play (and occasionally write) music and songs. Most of all, though, I write: essays, poetry, stories, and—this one time at band camp, when I was feeling particularly sassy—a whole-ass book about gender, sexuality, queerness, and magic for witches, Pagans, occultists, and devotional polytheists. (If you want to check it out, there's a link in my bio to the publisher's page.)

    Politically, I started out as a liberal in the 1980s, but—flying in the face of conventional wisdom—became increasingly leftist as time went by. I believe all life is sacred, hegemony and hierarchy are intrinsically inclined towards abuse, and bodily autonomy is fundamental to human rights. I believe people can own and control things, but that people are not things. As such, I believe fascism, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, queerphobia, and ableism are all evils of the human heart. I support #UniversalHealthcare, #UBI, BLM, #antifa, indigenous rights, #TransRights, queer resistance, sex workers, undocumented and migrant rights, disability rights, autistic people, plural folks, defunding the police, and radical inclusivity. Whatever name fits those beliefs, that's what I am. I'm not a wholly uncritical leftist, though, and I'm probably not ideologically pure enough for most movements. (Then again, I'm a futch-y trans #lesbian, so many leftist movements don't want me around anyway.)

    About following: I'm trying to be intentional and judicious in how I use social media, so here's the deal: folks are welcome to follow my account here, but I don't automatically follow people back. That's not a judgement on you, please understand. It's an acknowledgement that I have a limited amount of mental and social bandwidth, and it's easy for me to get overwhelmed by my social media feed if I don't tend it aggressively.

    The odds of me following you back are significantly higher if...
    • you have a bio I find interesting,
    • you're somewhere under the rainbow (LGBTQIA2S+),
    • we share interests in common,
    AND/OR
    • you interact with my posts in a positive way often enough that I think, "hey, I like so-and-so, I think I'll send them a follow request."

    The last condition might override any of the previous three, but the previous three do sway things, just saying. Regardless, anyone's welcome to follow my posts here.

    Okay, I think that's about enough for now. Further updates as events warrant, or as I think of them.

    Cheers! 💕

  26. For the second time on #ABC #RadioNational I hear #Homosexual behaviour being described as a failure to develop normal sexuality.

    The latest had an early teens interaction with a man being the reason the interviewee had sought out gay sex.

    The previous time a therapist/counselor/psych (?) put forward the gayness of her client as proof that his childhood had so damaged him as to prevent him developing a normal sexuality.

    Anyone know what/who is going on at Radio National?

    My politics are a simple story: I started out as a liberal in the 1980s and, flying in the face of conventional wisdom, became increasingly leftist as time went by. I support universal healthcare, universal basic income, BLM, antifa, indigenous rights, trans rights, queer resistance, sex workers, undocumented and migrant rights, disability rights, autistic people, plural folks, defunding the police, and radical inclusivity.
