I’ve been watching entirely too much anime recently, and it’s kinda bled over into my fashion today. I bought these shoes for a cosplay I’m working on, and as I’m wearing them around today to work on breaking them in I thought I’d build an outfit around ‘em. This is a little bit outside of my usual style, but I’m really digging it. What do you say, Tumblr?

I apologize in advance for the vulgar language.
Yesterday a lot of the fears that kept me from speaking out for so long were realized. Although the general response to my words was overwhelmingly positive, I was and still am being called a stupid bitch, a cunt, and “all that…

I’ve been trying to make a habit of dressing nicer lately, so here’s my totally impractical awesome outfit for a fun-filled day at home with my baby daughter while Mrs. Spookshow enjoys some much needed time out. You can read more about this outfit on my blog, HisBlackDress, com, so check that out! So, if stay-at-home dads are awesome, how about stay-at-home dads in five inch heels?
I get dressed in the morning for two reasons, and two reasons only:
1) To feel witchtastically fabulous,
2) To hurt feelings.
Those categories are not mutually exclusive.

Color-block Orange Bandage Miniskirt: BCBG, Size L

Black Boots: Lord and Taylor, Size 10
As always, thanks for reading!

If your genitalia don’t match the gender you most identify with, the American Psychiatric Association slaps you with the weighted label “gender identity disorder.” There’s current dialogue around changing the label to “gender incongruence,” but it still boils down to the same ignorance: Society is placing judgment on you because you don’t play by the rules.
What kind of message are we continuing to send to pregnant people everywhere? We live in such a deeply gendered society that our kids have no fighting chance when it comes to freedom of gender expression. Mainstream voices continue to use the wrong dialogue to talk about those who transcend gender norms; the recent Washington Postpiece “Transgender at five” is a perfect example. By using language like “gender identity problems” and “condition” to describe a child who doesn’t want to dress, act, or play like a girl just because this child was born with a vagina, the piece reinforces the existing model rather than poking holes in it. Our tunnel-visioned, outmoded landscape needs a fresh, fundamental critique. We’re looking at biological sex and gender in all the wrong ways.
The solution? We need to raze the binary gender system entirely.
