Gloria Anzaldúa, Making Face/Making Soul: Haciendo Caras — Creative and Cultural Perspectives by Women of Color (via jalwhite)
We at [I’m]Possible highly recommend looking into reading works written and editited by Gloria Anzaldúa. A page on Voices from the Gaps gives information on Anzaldúa and her works: “Gloria Anzaldúa, a self-described ‘chicana dyke-feminist, tejana patlache poet, writer, and cultural theorist,’”

Oh wow oh wow oh wow. There are a lot of videos and I don’t really have time right now because homework but omg this project is great.
VISIBILITY PROJECT REPRESENT!
check out the website at and see if they’re gonna be in your area or if there’s anything to volunteer for. I met one of the main folks who work on this and they’re good people
This is kind of complicated to explain, so I shall try my best.
It’s easiest to do this on Firefox or Safari- for Safari, you’ll need to turn the developer’s option on (by going to preferences, then advanced options, then checking the box at the bottom). For Firefox, you need to download firebug.
Go on to ‘Edit my Profile’ and right-click on the gender field, and select ‘Inspect Element’.
A new window will open with a bunch of coding. Right-click on the line that is highlighted, and select ‘Edit as html’.
I had female selected on my facebook, so I then copied the ‘<option value=”2”>Male</option>’ section of the code, and pasted it straight after itself.
In this new pasted section, change the ‘2’ to a ‘0’, and change ‘Male’ to whatever you want (it doesn’t matter what you change it to because it will just come up as Select Gender’).
After this, exit the Inspect Element window, select this new gender field, and save the profile changes. It should come up with ‘Select gender’, and facebook will use they/their etc as pronouns.
Any problems, don’t hesitate to ask.
I took great advantage in this, very happy!
just did this on facebook. downloaded safari for free from the mac website and it was pretty simple. hope this helps
didn’t work for me but hopefully it does for other folx. tried firefox, chrome, and mozilla… there are slight differences for each of those, google searching for the specific browser brings up the nuances.
