| Bio: | I am very much old enough to join the over 18 only groups as I was born in 1983. I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian. I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman. I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights. We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time. I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room. I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me. I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again. I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear. We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men. I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me. I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman. I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman. I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male. I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men. I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that. I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual. I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn’t have to always deal with society hating me. I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind. I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love. I am a feminist because rape victims shouldn't be put on trial, made to defend themselves, or be blamed because of what they wore, what they drank, or where they were. I am a feminist because I want control over my life to decide what is best for me and my family, not what someone tells me my role as a mother should be. I am a feminist because I want access to birth control. I am a feminist because women come in all shapes and sizes and are beautiful even if they do not meet the criteria that society has bestowed upon them. I am a feminist because I want equal representation in institutions that make decisions that affect my life. I am a feminist because I want to be paid equally for the hard work I do whether it be in the home or in the workplace. I am a feminist because I want welfare programs to give recipients resources for the future, not just transfer dependence on the state to dependence on a man. I am a feminist because I want children to have access to health care and adequate child care and parents to have work schedules that allow families to spend time with one another. I am a feminist because I want family-friendly corporations instead of ones that label themselves as such, but do not offer decent health insurance, family-orientated schedules, and pay where individuals can be with their families. I am a feminist because without equal opportunity legislation and affirmative action, I would not be protected from losing my job because I am pregnant, have as many opportunities for education, and legally be protected from being discriminated against by a company because of my sex. I am a feminist because if I do not teach my son that women are equal, who will? # In the United States, 1.3 women are raped every minute by a man. That results in 78 rapes each hour, 1872 rapes each day, 56160 rapes each month, and 683,280 rapes each year. # 1 out of every 3 American women will be sexually assaulted by a man in her lifetime. # 1 in 7 women will be raped by her husband. # Only 16% of rapes are reported.            PotterPuffs are love    Pervvy Valentine Series by Laurel_tx                  Although this might seem like a strange sign for Hufflepuffs, Hufflepuff Leos do exist. Many become the prefects of their House when they reach the proper age, for they are good with other people, have a fine sense of initiative, and have the nobility of spirit to see that the right thing gets done at all times. They like to set a good example for others - the phrase "noblesse oblige" probably sums it up well (nobility imposes obligation). Generous to a fault, they will give everything they have (be it money, energy, or loyalty) to anyone who needs it. This is a natural sign for Gryffindors, not least because the griffin is part lion. Gryffindors born under this sign are outgoing, friendly, affectionate, and likeable. They make friends easily and are crushed when their advances are rejected. Their romantic, chivalrous nature makes them perfect examples of all that is best in their House. However, they are also bossy, domineering, spendthrift, and overly dramatic (ever heard the phrase "drama queen?") They have sharp tempers and need to learn to direct their anger toward only needful causes. The natural creativity and flamboyance of Leo makes Gryffindors born under this sign good at most everything they attempt, provided they apply themselves to learning magic rather than using magic to hog the limelight. | |||||||||
