Trying to Change Your Pronouns on Facebook?

emmettforever:

There’s a helpful video on Ciscentrismsucks.tumblr.com on how to change your pronouns for anybody who’s lookin’ to. (http://ciscentrismsucks.tumblr.com/post/6065334634/if-anyone-is-looking-for-how-to-change-your-pronouns-to)

If you can’t read or see what the person is editing, here’s the written version:

1. Go to the ‘Basic Info’ section of your ‘About You’ page.

2. Right-click on the box that offers the “female” or “male” option of your sex, and click the option to “Inspect Element.”

3. Scroll to where the code deals with sex. There’s a formula saying “‘1’: female and ‘2’: male”. What you’ll want to do is right-click that whole line and opt to “Edit as HTML.”

4. When you get to that step, change the value of male to “0”, and change the word ‘male’ to whatever you want. (I did a smiley face).

4. You can close out of the code now. So, back in your ‘about you’ section, click on the option-box for female/male, and opt for whichever word you put inside your other option. 

5. Make sure you save! Good luck, and happy genderfucking.

Dan: Dumbledore being gay… was that something that was just thrown out for the American press, to get them stirred up a bit? J.K.: No. But it did. I found people’s reaction to that very interesting and I’ll tell you why. By the time that I said that I had been working with these characters for 17 years. Now, not many writers have been with that same set of characters that long so I feel I can sort of speak for all of us who have to say it’s a very intense experience and inevitably you are going to know things about characters that are not in some cases… will be relevant.  [….] As time went on and I got to know Dumbledore.. and this was before the publication of Philosopher’s Stone so at this point I’ve been with him for 7 years.. I knew he was gay. I just knew he was gay. And to me it was not a big deal. This is very old man who has a very terrible job to do and his gayness is not really relevant.

NATIVE YOUTH SEXUAL HEALTH NETWORK, North America (www.nativeyouthsexualhealth.com)

Campaign Titled: Healthy Sexuality and Fighting Homophobia: Native Youth Photography Project

About the Project:

This is the first national campaign for First Nations youth across Canada to fight homophobia and normalize healthy sexuality!

First Nations youth from across Canada came together in March 2010 to create a national campaign about sexuality and fighting homophobia. These are the images created from the campaign which can be utilized as posters, postcards, as well as community newspaper inserts for articles and awareness.

About the Organization:

The Native Youth Sexual Health Network (NYSHN) is a North-America wide organization working on issues of healthy sexuality, cultural competency, youth empowerment, reproductive justice, and sex positivity by and for Native youth.

The reclamation and revitalization of traditional knowledge about people’s fundamental human rights over their bodies and spaces, intersected with present-day realities is fundamental to our work.

We work within the full spectrum of reproductive and sexual health for Indigenous peoples.

So, I was reading through my comments the other day when I came across one that really disturbed me…This girl is really pretty. NO HOMO. I know what you’re thinking “It’s 2012 who still says that”. I thought the same thing too. But for those of you who don’t know. No Homo is a qualifier that is used to assure your present company that you are not in fact a homosexual. Because this phrase makes my skin crawl. I decided to make up a few qualifiers of my own and with your help I hope that I can make these really popular in 2012. - Chescaleigh
