Who are these 'TERF's and why do they want to hurt?

I do believe in the advocacy of women's rights and equality, which makes me a feminist, even if, I do not agree with ALL the issues surrounding feminist perspectives. Anytime stereotyping, objectification (hmm not sure here ), infringements of human rights, or gender- or sexuality-based oppression occurs, it's a feminist issue. But, there are branches of the feminist movement which I totally abhor - the biggest being TERFs.

For those who do not know what TERFism is, let me enlighten you below, but firstly a point of note: IF ( and this applies to the views of TERFs), gender- or sexuality-based oppression is a serious issue for feminists, then TERFism itself is oppression based on gender or sexuality - that of the trans individuals and community.

I understand that some feminists like to separate 'sexuality' from 'gender' (sexuality is set, what you were born with - based on anatomy and gender is interchangeable - personal identification of one's own gender based on an internal awareness ) BUT I do not agree with this view. I feel that one is not a 'woman' because one is born with a vagina - it is far more than just simply sexuality. It is about 'WHO' one is.

Nevertheless, I shall let you make your own minds up.

Back to what and who TERFs are, Kelsie Brynn Jones explains: 

Homicide numbers of trans and gender diverse people worldwide should shame us all. A WORLD MAP SHOWING THE REALITY

Transgender Europe’s Trans Murder Monitoring (TMM) project – initiated in April 2009 in order to systematically monitor, collect and analyse reports of homicides of trans and gender diverse people worldwide – launches an update for IDAHOT 2015 so as to assist activists worldwide in raising public awareness of hate violence against trans and gender diverse people. The infographic summarizes data from the update.

THIS INFOGRAPHIC SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO SHOW HOW PROGRESS HAS BEEN SLOW AND THAT MUCH MUCH MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES

BDSM safety for dominants - Keeping clients safe

I have just started this entry as it occurred to me that I should share my knowledge. But I feel it needs to be developed and added to. It is still a 'rough' draft of what I was hoping to produce. So, I am hoping that readers comment, add to it and discuss.

BDSM safety for dominants

There are many things that can go wrong during a BDSM session. As a dominant, one must plan for every possible outcome when it comes to safety. Below are a few things I feel are essential.

As a lifestyle or professional dominant , minimising risk of any injury to clients should always be foremost in planning any session. A well planned session should reduce the risks as much as is 'reasonably practicable'. As the 'top', you are responsible for the health and safety of your client. We may all occasionally laugh at the 'health and safety gone mad' attitude of businesses, but, there are some basics which, as dominants, we should implement. Many safety aspects I know we all naturally do while playing, but there are some outcomes which you may not have predicted or planned for. What would happen if a client feints while being restrained or suspended? Or a client has an unexpected seizure while hooded, gagged and in a body bag?

We all hope that these examples never happens during a session, but if it did - would you be prepared? Will you be able to provide first aid? How quickly can you release them from their binds? What happens if they

We cannot prepare for everything, but we can envisage the possible risks and minimise trauma, both to ourselves and to our play partners.

Plan your session. Know which equipment you will be using and in what context they will be used.

Know your tools and equipment. If you do not know how something works - don't use it.

Know basics of: Electric play - safe zones, power etc. Bondage: Know pressure points, circulation, no go areas. In fact, whatever you do, be it whips and paddles, KNOW YOUR STUFF. Don't just guess. For example: coloured candles burn at a higher rate than white/standard candles. Knowing this fact will save a burning.

Know how to quickly release someone from binds, bondage, gags, hoods, cages - in fact anything. Time is essential in preventing damage and even death.

DO NOT use padlocks on gags, hoods, collars if you put the keys somewhere out of emergency reach, or as one Mistress did once, padlock a clients without making sure there is a key.

Never leave your client unsupervised in situations where if you are not there to release them, they may choke/fall/etc.

Know first aid - go on a course. This is essential. Don't rely on luck or hope it never happens.

Don't expect clients to TELL THE TRUTH. They may not have disclosed all their medical issues - possibly due to not wishing to be turned away or refused an activity. Some do lie. You need to be prepared to KNOW WHAT TO DO.

• Always do a risk assessment on your session.
• Always ask: What would happen if .......
• Always think: Can I release my submissive INSTANTLY if needed.
• Can I perform first aid?
• If I need help from someone else, how fast can they get to me?

David Cameron really, really has not the faintest what he is talking about when it comes to the internet.

David Cameron really, really has not the faintest what he is talking about when it comes to the internet.

Earlier this week, I asked a simple question of his latest pronouncements on online porn, child abuse, internet filtering and related stuff: is he an internet ignoramus – or a master manipulator?

Today, I think the answer is clear: like far too many of our legislators, his grasp of matters internet is fleeting at best, leading him over and over to an excess of soundbite over substance.

Let’s start with two simple propositions, both of which his press office readily agreed to:

1) David Cameron is in favour of companies such as Google adopting filters to filter out online porn, and will bring in regulation to ensure this happens if they fail to act voluntarily.

And 2) he is definitely not in favour of regulators intervening to block or ban page 3.

Dominant State, Submissive Populace: Spanking. Consensual physical or verbal abuse. Physical restraint. Female ejaculation. Strangulation. Facesitting.

Spanking. Consensual physical or verbal abuse. Physical restraint. Female ejaculation. Strangulation. Facesitting.

No, it’s not an anarchist’s Christmas wishlist. The above is a selection of the #ThingsBannedInUKPorn in December last year. The AudiovisualMedia Services Regulations 2014 forces content creators in the United Kingdom to stop including these acts (as well as many others) in their video-on-demand content. (It won’t be illegal to view online content portraying these practices however, as long as the content is produced abroad.)

There are many angles commentators have taken when criticising these recent restrictions on pornography production: all of which can be thought of as anarchist in some sense. As market anarchists are inherently sceptical of power structures, it may seem surprising for us to adopt an unashamedly accepting stance on extreme power imbalances in the bedroom. In fact, it is this top-down imposition of limits on sexual behaviour between consenting adults that is objectionable and oppressive.
