STFU, Rape Culture!

In the past seven months, I have defriended four people on facebook for the following infractions:

1. Being a racist sack of crap and mocking a Korean accent;
2. Being a ignorant white cis dude who thinks that the Occupy movement needs to pull themselves up by their bootstraps;
3. Finding it appropriate to cast judgement on Rihanna for ‘being a bad role model to young women’ and;
4. Complaining about all the ‘crackheads’ on welfare who are living in fancy houses and ‘spreading their legs’ for extra babies they can cash in on.

Today is #5! And here it is, in all its disgusting glory:

What makes this display of transphobia even more disappointing is that the OP was one of the founders/leaders of our university’s GSA, which was supposed to be trans* inclusive. Not surprising, given the rate the transphobia that we often see from LGB people. But still sickening.

Soon, my fbook feed will consist only of updates from dog trainer extraordinaire Victoria Stilwell, my congresswoman Dr. Judy Chu, and autoposts from my mother’s facebook games.
