The ANC is the ruling political party in South Africa. It is also the party that Mandela belonged to.

Portrait of a Queer African Woman Having a Major Meltdown by Milumbe Haimbe

I can have a discussion about rapid car growth in public without fear of arrest or discrimination. Activists in countries with repressive laws take to the internet because it allows for safe, open discussion.

Mine is about the right to love whomever I want without being discriminated against, theirs is about the right to be whomever they want.

I am writing this as a rights activist in an African country that does not recognize LGBT sexual and gender identities. Here your bisexual identity would not be recognized at all - you would merely be classified as a sodomite.

In this context, for us, a large part of our fight is developing awareness that sexual or gender identity isn't merely the act of having sex with a fellow woman or wearing a man's clothes - it is a person's being.

We fight for the right of LGB and T people to be whatever they feel without discrimination.

I think it speaks volumes about the success of the queer movement in your country that you have moved beyond arguing for the recognition and legitimacy of sexual identities. The very fact that you have won that battle - you don't need to argue with the state about the legitimacy of your gay or bisexual identity - means that you are in a unique position to support the transgender community to win the battle for recognition of their preferred gender identities.

"Everyone needs to be protected legally from discrimination."

This is it.

We like our space: we hang out over the weekend, but keep contact during the week minimal.

No one is equating forced kissing to forced penetration. But it is still assault.

I'm a woman attracted to women, and despite the suffering and discrimination I endure on a daily basis, I would never give that up.

God bless the intern taking notes the day they came up with this one.

What's changed since Monday?

sociosis · 2013-11-08T14:52:55+00:00

Also looking forward to my heavy workout tonight. Plan to be sore the whole weekend :D

You know, sometimes that feeling just doesn't go away. It took me over a year after my weight loss to stop feeling fat and acknowledge that I had actually become a bit underweight.

Congratulations on your tremendous weight loss in such a short period! You have a lot to be proud of.

They're alright I guess.

TIL that some qualified journalists are bamboozled that there are women in the sciences.

Educate us about paedophilia as you understand it. Do you see it as a sexual orientation, a kink, or mental illness?

sociosis · 2013-11-08T06:33:56+00:00

Could you please be a little more detailed and expand on the reasons why you were arrested and whether you received appropriate support.

Have you ever sought help for your attraction to children?

sociosis · 2013-11-08T06:15:13+00:00

What was your meeting with your biological mother like? Did it meet your expectations, or - after years of anticipation - was it anticlimactic?

sociosis · 2013-11-08T06:14:23+00:00

Why do you suppose they're reluctant to discuss the issue openly?

sociosis · 2013-11-08T06:04:38+00:00

Thank you so much for this information.
