Welcome to our new weekly links round-up. This is a compilation of items from the past week that may be of interest to VPers. If you'd like to see an article included, send me an e-mail at recidivist@vaginapagina.com . Non-US and positive links are especially appreciated. (I can't fit all the awesome links people send, but I'll try to post any that I don't include to Twitter.) You can also just take matters into your own hands and post in the comments!
As a reminder, in lieu of trigger warnings, I use keywords describing the themes of the piece. Please skim these before deciding to read the excerpt or click through for the full article. Outside sources are not safe spaces, and mainstream source's comments should almost always be avoided. The links I highlight don't necessarily reflect VP's views, or even my own, for that matter.
This week's round-up includes: a dieting book for the pre-teen set, owning privilege, Thai trans women no longer considered "insane" by military, safer sex in queer porn, on the term "plus size", timing of male puberty affects mood, the disability hierarchy, US researchers knowing infected Guatemalans with syphilis, the singleness stigma, HPV tests better at predicting cancer than pap, cohabitation yields higher unintended pregnancies, thoughts on white anti-racism.
