 Just something I found on a feminist site that I thought was amusing.

“The affable organizer of the Tucson event, Dr. Red Alinsod, was an early entrant into cosmetic-gyn, and is recognized for inventing the procedure in which the labia minora are completely amputated to create a “smooth” genital look known in the field as “the Barbie.” Though he began his career by winning a prestigious fellowship in gynecology-oncology at Yale in 1990, Alinsod now spends his days making genitalia “look pretty” for the wealthy patients who flock to his Southern California practice from all over the world. He is also an evangelist for the field, spreading its lucrative gospel to fellow doctors tired of toiling in the time-intensive and high-liability fields of traditional obstetrics and gynecology.”

Things that are awful….

Awful indeed.

With megaphone cries, righteous posters and strong companionship, a group of students in Boston is hoping to pull off their first Take Back the Night march this Saturday.

Take Back the Night is an evening of education and action in protest of sexual violence and assault. It is a rebellion against the fear that many experience when walking alone at night. They will walk for the survivors of sexual assault as well as anyone who has ever felt frightened just by being outside of their home at the “wrong” hour.

ff4equality:

In a round-about effort to end governmental support for LGBT centers on public college campuses, the Texas house of representatives passed a budget provision requiring any school with a gay center to offer the same financial support to a “traditional values” center.

The Texas house passed the budget provision earlier this month by a 110-24 margin, reportsInside Higher Ed. If passed by the senate and signed into law by the governor, the legislation would require equal funding for promoting “family and traditional values.” The group that worked with the bill’s sponsor, Wayne Christian, is the Young Conservatives of Texas. The group’s senior vice chairman, Tony McDonald, admits he hopes, if the bill passes, all public universities in Texas will defund LGBT centers rather than provide equal money for conservative centers —McDonald believed legislation to cut funding from gay centers was less likely to pass, so his group advocated for the “traditional values” centers.

McDonald told Inside Higher Ed that students “who want to promote a homosexual lifestyle” can do so “on their own time and with their own money.”

This is particularly troubling, considering TX manages to pass its outlandish conservative laws like the textbook fiasco last year. LGBT centers are a necessity. Teens and young adults are discovering their sexuality, and these centers are important resources for their support and safety. Do we really need more organizations talking about higher LGBT youth suicide statistics? The “traditional values” is a whole other rant, my friends. These “traditional families” are the minority in American society, and have only ever truly existed in sitcoms.
