Why should LGBT groups care about guardianship?

loyisagoy-elgoycherev:

Because under Washington State law,

1) An anti-LGBT parent can petition for guardianship of their Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and/or Transgender adult child under in order to force them by penalty of law back home, into an institutions, or group home etc. (RCW 11.88, full chapter on Guardianship—Appointment, Qualification, Removal of Guardians)

2) An anti-LGBT parent of an LGBT adult child with a partner can accuse that partner of “leading them astray” or “taking advantage of a vulnerable adult” and not only force their adult child back home but also make it illegal under penalty of law for their partner to ever see them again. (RCW 11.88.045 subsection 5)

Legal heterosexism is absolutely still real and still needs to be fought. A trend among parents of transgender youth with disabilities is seeking guardianship to forcefully stop their transition by saying they’re “incapable of making decisions.” (Personal conversation with ASAN staff member, 2016).

Gay liberation means disability justice now.

Almond Breeze undeclared MILK recall

fortunesque:

Thousands of cartons of Vanilla Almond Breeze are under recall for containing undeclared milk. I don’t care what you think about vegans, nondairy milk, whatever…

This could kill people if word doesn’t get out fast enough.

Here’s a link to the recall.

It covers a lot of states:

Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin

Please share this. Dairy allergies can be fatal and many people with them choose to drink almond milk.

last week i saw some article on buzzfeed or or the cut or wherever describing the new phrase “body-neutrality” by which they mean roughly the same thing that i call “weaponized ugliness” or my other tag “existing as revolutionary praxis”. body positivity is well-meaning but not for everyone and sometimes harmful.

i have a body, it has a certain shape and function, it has certain colors and marks and scars and curves and angles and sexy parts and unsexy parts. i don’t need to love it and i don’t have to hate it. i’m allowed to just have it be there, a tool for my use and an essential part of my humanity. i can be ugly or pretty, that’s irrelevant to my right to decent medical care and clothes that fit and respect from strangers. i can be any shape or size or color or gender and still deserve those rights.

telling me to love my body is still policing my energy and my thoughts and my spending habits and my self respect. instead tell me i’m allowed to feel however i want about my body. give me bodily autonomy. body neutrality means let me decide what i need or want to do with the skin i’m in.
