Watch: Viral clip shows a woman in genderless clothing being ejected from a ladies’ bathroom by the police.

My Marvel Derby Girls!  They are all transparent.

Also, while lurking the tags in the individual posts, I’ve seen quite a few people say they’d like to cosplay these.  To that, I can only say: PLEASE DO, and show me pics!

(should go without saying, but don’t remove my caption)

Only if you ignore (not a comprehensive list):

- The five genders in Sulawesi culture

-Hijras, in India, who have been recognized for thousands of years

-Two-spirit people in Native American culture

-Some (though not all) of the people who identify as warias

-Hawaiian mahus

Non-binary genders: not actually a new concept.

In seventh grade, there was this girl in my class that was convinced that I was dating a tenth grader -- not any specific tenth grader, just one of them. One day, she saw me talking to another student (actually a ninth grader, but she didn’t know that).

 She then came up to me and said something to the effect of, “Suuuure you aren’t dating a tenth grader. I saw you and him talking in the hallway, obviously you must be dating.” 

“That doesn’t even make sense!” I said. “By that logic, you and I are dating, since we’re in the hallway and talking right now. Since we aren’t, there is clearly a flaw in your reasoning.”

Someone in my class overheard this and decided that this meant that she and I were actually dating.

This girl, who at the time was rather homophobic, was extremely bothered by this rumor, and vehemently denied it. This only served to convince our classmates that it was true.

In the end, the rumor stopped spreading because people became convinced I was dating a different person instead.

Hmmmm, how about, say, sexist people?

Feminism isn’t about trying to control people’s actions. Could you please clarify what, exactly, you’re referring to?

I've never seen anyone try to control women like a group of feminists

*Sends a virtual hug*

When your partner misgenders you 😁😁😁😁😁

I think the difference here is that minus-zero-blogs is talking about systemic sexism, whereas johnhocksbur is talking about specific incidents of sexism. Men will rarely be victims of systemic sexism (although there are occasional instances, such as how it’s socially acceptable for a woman to wear either a dress or pants but not for a man to wear a dress); however, they may be victims of specific instances of sexism. People are just sexist in specific instances against women more often.

I will also note that your sources both mention sexism against women as being more frequent or more common than sexism against men.

Sexism can be against anyone. And thinking that women can't be as savage and heartless as men is sexist against everybody.

actually women can’t be sexist toward men

women can hate men, or be biased against them, but sexism requires privilege and power

basically it’s the difference between an isolated incident and society being completely rigged against you

*transgender but otherwise this is a nice list. Off the top of my head, I can also add Fires of the Faithful/ Turning the Storm to the fantasy section -- it’s mostly a fantasy novel, but it has two very prominent lesbian characters.

This is a list I made for YALSA’s The Hub on the wide range of YA literature featuring LGBTQ characters. See the full post and a downloadable pdf here. 

How did you become so awesome?

I’m not awesome; awesome people don’t take months to reply to messages. But thank you, Anon!
