TERF - their campaign against trans people - #TERF quotes to make your blood boil.

The TERF movement is particularly effective in their campaigns against trans people and trans equality as they consistently couch their actions as political/feminist/lesbian/radical/womanist critiques of gender and are therefore welcomed in spaces that would reject the same rhetoric from right wing organizations. TERFs routinely enjoy acceptance in progressive environments such as academia and radical left-wing organizations.

So, when these radical criticisers of gender, speak out against trans individuals, our ears burn...and burn...

Bev Jo: They expect we’ll be shocked to see statistics about them being killed, and don’t realize, some of us wish they would ALL be dead.

Luckynkl: SCAMs (Surgically and Chemically Altered Males) are nothing more than MRAs (Men’s Rights Activists) in dresses.

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.

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.

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?
