As disabled members of the lgbt community we should be celebrating marriage equality, right? but unfortunately us disabled people who rely on government support to survive risk losing everything and becoming totally financially reliant on our partners if we marry or even move in together.

Insurances that cover hormones/gender reassignment surgery

Just a quick guide for all you guys and girls having trouble finding the right insurance. It’s incredibly difficult to find insurance that covers sex reassignment surgery, and even when then do, there’s a chance you’ll be denied. 

Make sure you guys are informed so you can make the right healthcare decisions!

Aetna: [x] [x] Amerigroup: [x] AHCCCS: Covers T/Estrogen only Blue Cross Anthem: [x] Blue Cross of Massachusetts: [x] Blue Cross Michigan: [x] Blue Cross North Carolina: [x]  Blue Cross North Dakota: [x] Blue Cross Rhode Island: [x] Blue Cross Tennessee: [x] Blue Cross Vermont: [x] Blue Shield CA: [x] Care First: [x] Cigna: [x] Emblem Health: [x] Excellus Blue Cross (NY): [x] Group Health Cooperative: [x] Harvard Pilgrim Health Care: [x] Health Net:[x] Health Partners: [x] HighMark: [x] Independence Blue Cross: [x] Medicare: [x] Obamacare: [x] United Healthcare: [x] Wellmark BCBS: [x] Wellpoint/Unicare: [x]

but the teachers gender at birth is male, and the daughter is actually female.

facts-1 feminists-0

The teacher’s age at birth is less than one day. Does that mean he stays less than one day old his entire life? No, because things change. We grow and we develop and we think and we become our own individuals.

Just because you’re born a certain age doesn’t mean you remain that certain age. Just because you’re born with a certain hair color doesn’t mean you remain with that certain hair color. Just because you’re born a certain gender, doesn’t mean you remain that certain gender. It’s as simple as that.

Here’s a crazy concept: how about we let people make their own decisions about their own selves? And how about we respect that since it doesn’t affect us and is the right thing to do?

(Ultimately, whether you actually agree with any of that or not doesn’t matter. What matters is that you respect those individuals despite their differences to your opinion.)

the fact that this was written two years ago and it’s still relevant… what does that tell you?

I’ve been saying this for years but guys

Sandy Hook. 

Sandy Hook was the Nightmare Scenario. It was the “that’s not realistic.” If I’d been arguing with someone who was anti gun control and I said “someone could take a gun and go into a school and kill thirty kindergartners in just a couple of minutes, how would you feel then,” they would have said I was exaggerating, that’s manipulative and unrealistic. 

but that’s what happened. 

and the thing is

if thirty dead, white, upper middle-class kindergartners in Connecticut aren’t going to motivate change on gun control

then they’re never going to change for queer people in Florida, and they’re not going to change for music fans in sin city, and they’re not going to change for college students in Washington and Oregon, and they’re not going to change and they’re not going to change. 

A white man can buy 19 automatic weapons and no one is going to raise an eyebrow. And then afterwards they’ll send thoughts and prayers.

Yes, the Evakteket Challenge is back! We know it’s still a couple of months until Christmas, but we’re already excited for the inevitable flurry of seasonal fic. After the success of our last challenge, we thought what better way to encourage that than to run another one? This time, we’re using a randomizer: click on the link below to get your prompt…

You’ll get one prompt from each column, three in total, which you are hereby challenged to combine in your fic. Don’t worry: if you click the prompt randomizers more than once or otherwise fudge your prompt a little, we’ll never know ;)

Rules:

  • Post your fic on Wednesday, December 20 - we’ll make a masterpost linking to your lovely works on December 21.
  • If you post it on AO3: add it to the collection Evakteket Christmas Challenge
  • If you post it on Tumblr only: use the tag #evakteket challenge.
  • Your fic can be any rating and any word count.
  • Not-Evak pairings are welcome.

Help:

If you set your fic in Norway and want to make it more authentically norsk, here’s one article and another article about Christmas in Norway. Also: wtf is gløgg?

If you have any questions, send us an ask or message @towonderland72 or @skamskada. We can’t wait to read your works! <3

“After the Mayor of San Juan criticized the government’s Puerto Rico relief efforts, President Trump attacked her on Twitter, saying, “The Mayor of San Juan, who was very complimentary only a few days ago, has now been told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump.” Oh, really, Donald? You bitch. Was she nasty to you? How nasty? Are you shaking? You wanna go smoke a Virginia Slim until your hand stops moving?”

What are you doing with your life if you aren’t watching Lin-Manuel Miranda singlehandedly drag Trump to hell on twitter
