| About Me: | I am a Political Science student and activist from Kansas City. I have participated in debate and forensics since my Freshman year of High School, however I have been in love with history and politics since I was little. I wear the label of "Democratic Socialist" with pride and I am not afraid to profess on my views. |
| Activities: | Activism Running Violin Blogging Debate |
| Beliefs: | I am a progressive and I am a proud democratic socialist. Sometimes I have called myself a left-wing social democrat or an anti-capitalist social democrat at times. I am also a fervent believer in Christian Socialism, and I believe that it was my Catholic faith that turned me towards democratic socialism. My partisan description is that of a Watermelon, I am Green (Green Party) on the outside and Red (socialist) on the inside. |

Should Transgenders Be Allowed to Join the BSA
Let us assume that by transgender people we mean girls "feeling" they're boys. The BSA - BOY Scouts of America - is specifically for boys. Yes, there have been girls in it before, but that was either cub scout leaders or CO-ED/venture groups. I know because I'm in one. Those girls who believe they are boys have that right to live in the delusion that they are boys, but that doesn't change their genetical make-up. "Oh, but what about 'the treatment'?" That does nothing. It's just like som...

Feminism should not have been created in the beginning.
I know what you're thinking. I sound crazy. Why on earth with me, a girl wish that feminism wasn't born in the first place. Let me tell you why. Because you can not balance your drink if you tip it to one side. Meaning It should have started gender neutral in the beginning. That would have been a healthier way of tackling the issues of female rights and the inequality that happens between each gender. If you put a label on something to favor one side expect it to bite society right back in the b...
