I just scored an AWESOME second job! Now, I shall be working my warehouse job AND doing promotions for RodeoH!
I am going to do my best to make the RodeoH company even MORE inclusive - with products and styles that suit every gender identity, sexual orientation, and body size and type.
If anyone owns a RodeoH and is willing to do a review of it (or already HAS done one), please send it to me! You can possibly get it published on RodeoH’s media sites! Also, if you want to take photos of yourself wearing the RodeoH harness, please do so and send them to me! You can be featured on RodeoH’s sites as well! Professional AND amateur photos will be accepted!
Similarly, if anyone is interested in purchasing a RodeoH harness to review and/or model, please get at me too! I may be getting some new promo codes soon!
If anyone has any questions or concerns, please let me know! I currently own both harness styles and have in-depth reviews of them (as well as comparison videos) located here: http://wanderlustprince.tumblr.com/transupdatesCheers,

Today is the International Day Against Homophobia. Let’s use it to fight against heterosexism, transphobia, cissexism, and all other forms of oppression.

Transgender Canadians may be offered sexless passports

I am not one to use the words ‘homophobia’ or ‘transphobia’ often, but this is a pretty decent cause that helps raise awareness and education for LGBTQ issues around the word.
My two main critiques of IDAHO are:
- their usage of -phobias instead of heterosexism and cissexism, and
- their neglecting to mention monosexism - which affects multisexuals (i.e. bisexuals, pansexuals, queer-identified folks, etc.) Heterosexism is something that multisexuals can face, but only multisexuals can experience monosexism.

Today is the International Day Against Homophobia.
On May 17 of every year, the International Day Against Homophobia serves to unite people under the common causes of fighting homophobia and embracing acceptance and love for all people.
The theme of this year’s campaign is “Sexual diversity in the workplace: it pays off!” The idea is that LGBT people live and work all over the world and deserve the same rights and respect as their heterosexual coworkers.
The site linked above includes all kinds of background information about the day itself, the group in charge and resources you can turn to. Today’s a big day - make it count!
