Gender & Ruby Rose being a bada** as usual

Him: Is it mostly men or women reading your blog?
Me: It's about 60% men, 40% women

This convo got me thinking about gender....those two categories for the LGBTQ community are pretty limiting....what if you read my blog and identify as genderfluid or queer?....I guess Google only gives you two options....

Speaking of genderfluid have you seen this video by Ruby Rose?

She's incredibly brave for standing up for transgender rights.

......

If you ask me you should always wear what YOU are comfortable in.

It's your body.

And your life.

Let them eat (gay) cake!

Dear business owners who refuse to serve gay people

or make them cakes for weddings or flowers etc:

Do you not see the potential of this untapped market?

Most gay people don't have kids.

Look at all the disposable income there!

Fools.

If I opened a bakery it would be the gayest bakery in all the land.

I would sell cakes that look like Ellen.

And we would have rainbow bouquets!

And Bettie would be our mascot and would come on all the parade floats!

Love is love.

Jenna Lyons: my lesbian hero

Why?

Oh, let me tell you.

1. She isn't afraid to bend the gender binary

2. She's gay, the CEO of J.Crew, hardworking, and independent

Like a boss.

3. She has bold taste

"Oh hey, I'm just hanging out on the sidewalk in this feather skirt. No big deal."

Marry me?

4. Did I mention she's a lesbian and works in the fashion industry?! AND wears heels?!

Sorry, it's just like seeing a unicorn or something.

5. She's wasn't afraid to come out of the closet and acknowledge her partner at the Glamour Awards. And she's not afraid to come out of the closet wearing a blazer and no top.....

Which, let's be honest, is totally fine because she's a total babely babe.

6. She owns how she looks physically and talks in interviews about how she wasn't always confident being super tall and she has some tooth health concerns but ya know what? She will tell you all about it. Because she doesn't care! She's awesome. She's just like, "This is who I am!"

You go girl.

6. She loves sequins. I love sequins. This feels like the beginning of a beautiful thing.
