“‘My name is Robert but I would prefer that you call me Bob.’ It’s just like that. You know what I mean? And if you were to insist upon calling that person Robert, you would be a colossal dick.”

Paul F. Tompkins, succinctly explaining why you call people what they want to be called, whether it’s “little people” or “transgender” or “chairperson” or “Bob”. It’s not about being politically correct and it’s not about you. It’s about basic decency and respect. 

If you don’t know Schumer (He’s my senator and I’ve protested outside of his home.), you might not realize how much this matters.

It’s not the end and it’s not enough, but this is democracy at work.

I was done at 16
showin up for class
I was out there
in the ring
learnin how to kick some ass
I was done at 16
using my momma's key
it was all on me
yes it was all on me

weren't no free rides
weren't no IOU's
I pulled my weight
I paid my dues
and I showed up
to enlist
on the first day of recruits
how bout you?
how bout you?

I'm my brother's keeper
every chance I can
I pay my taxes
like any working man
and I feel I've earned
my right to choose
you don't get to play God, man
I do
you don't get to play God, man
I do

you get to run the world
in your special way
you get much more
much more than your say
government, religion
it's all just patriarchy
I must insist
you leave this one thing to me

just one thing that a man needs
to be truly free
this is the modern world
and that one thing is money
but there are two things
that a woman needs
control over her own body

yes I pay the price
on top of everything
each month a bill
each month a reckoning
and each seed that dies
I cry and I bleed
so you can't tell me
no you can't tell me

I am a soldier
it's my blood that flows
I'd give my life
so that this tree can grow
you don't know creation
like I know
so you can't tell me
no you can't tell me

I'm my brother's keeper
every chance I can
I pay my taxes
like any workin man
and I feel I've earned
my right to choose
you don't get to play God
I do
you don't get to play God
I do
you don't get to play God
I do

you don't get to play God
I do

Some proof that there ARE elected officials out there, like Vice Mayor Sean Cummings in Oklahoma, who are standing up for LGBTQ+ youth like Nex Benedict and calling out the fact that our words and rhetoric DO matter.

[Context: In this video, Sean Cummings is seen speaking to Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters referring to the death of student Nex Benedict].

After being reposted by Chaya Raichik and getting death threats, he said (paraphrashing), "I live alone. If any of you keyboard warriors want to try something, come at me."

“A lot of people are waking up to the idea that “non-compliant slut” was always intended to be a fungible category that could be applied to anyone, whenever it’s convenient for the anti-abortion politicians and lobbyists who are obsessed with patriarchal power and control.”
