  • Ellen Page speaks out against ‘dehumanising’ of transgender people

    Ellen Page says it’s time to “step up” to support transgender people.

    The 32-year-old queer actress says that transgender people are “under attack” as one of the most “marginalised” groups of people, and believes more needs to be done to protect them.

    Daily Local reports:

    The ‘Juno’ star decided to speak out after lesbian tennis player Martina Navratilova was fired from an LGBTQ charity last week for making transphobic comments against transgender female athletes.

    Martina said: “A man can decide to be female, take hormones if required by whatever sporting organisation is concerned, win everything in sight and perhaps earn a small fortune, and then reverse his decision and go back to making babies.”

    And responding to those comments, Ellen slammed the sporting star for letting history repeat itself, as she branded Martina’s words as “demonising and dehumanising.”

    Page says: “It’s not like people didn’t use the same arguments for lesbian, gay and bisexual people, but people are also using that rhetoric to make trans people seem like predators… It’s deplorable.”

    It is not  just conservatives who continue to hold ignorant views on LGBT+ issues, Page notes:

    “I deal with a lot of progressive people, powerful people, who have said ridiculous s**t to me. People need to wake up, they need to educate themselves.”

    MSN has more.

    The full interview is available in the March 2019 issue of Gay Times magazine .

    “my battery is low and it’s getting dark” is so hauntingly human, so crushingly lonely. I can’t articulate the deep, profound ache that sentence evokes. It’s acceptance and defeat and terror and sadness all at once, all from one tiny machine we asked to explore the stars for us.

    this morning NASA abandoned their mars rover Opportunity (aka Oppy) because it (she) got hit by a storm on Mars and it knocked her camera and wheels out and her last words to the team were “my battery is low and it is getting cold”. I know she’s a machine but I’m devastated. Oppy is the one who discovered water on Mars. RIP oppy ily space baby

    they didn’t abandon her!! they tried eight months to reach her!!!! as their last farewell to her yesterday they played her “I’ll be seeing you” by Billie Holiday:

    “I’ll find you in the morning sun

    And when the night is new

    I’ll be looking at the moon

    But I’ll be seeing you”

    They love her so much and they tried so hard!!!

    OH GOD

    If alcohol labels told the truth.

    Oh my gosh, heyyyyyyyyy

    Fun fact: tequila is the only alcohol that is not a depressant. That’s why when you drink it you get hot and happy! Oh and if the bottle doesn’t say 100% agave it’s not real tequila stay away from Jose Cuervo or sauza they are 50% corn syrup that’s why you feel like dying the next day

    Thank you bartender tumblr

    Tequila makes my clothes fall off
