So one of our new vocabulary words is “malus”, meaning “bad”, and I asked my students if they could think of any English derivatives, telling them that just about any English word that begins with M-A-L is going to mean something “bad”.
I’m expecting stuff like: malice, malcontent, malnourished, or even malware or Maleficent.
Instead I get this one girl in the back of the room say “male” with the most dead-eyed expression.
This has the same energy as two years ago when another student said she remembered “vir” meant “man” because “it looks like virus, and men are a virus”.
trans guy: my dysphoria has been really bad lately idk it just feels like my body will never be masculine enough and im left with a deeply profound sadness
some fucking cis clown: its ok! i would still fuck you 🙂
Urban Outfitters (Along with racism and anti-feminism.)
Boy Scouts America
Gay-friendly companies include:
Starbucks
Wal-mart
Google
General Mills cereal
American Express
Mariott Hotels
SO REMEMBER. Get some Starbucks coffee, go on Google to shop at Wal-mart.com with your American Express card while eating a bowl of General Mills cereal and enjoy your stay at our fine Mariott Hotels.
Also shop at target, they dropped ties with transphobic and homophobic companies and are one of the most inclusive employers in the country
Just to clarify…Girl Scouts is completely separate from Boy Scouts. Girl Scouts is very gay & trans friendly and is overall a great organization that empowers little girls and promotes community involvement and kindness so go out and buy as many girls scout cookies as you can
am i the only one genuinely surprised walmart is gay-friendly?
