What Would Hermione Granger Do?

I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.
Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets.
Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day
I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps.
I hunger for your sleek laugh,
your hands the color of a savage harvest,
hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails,
I want to eat your skin like a whole almond.
I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body,
the sovereign nose of your arrogant face,
I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes,
and I pace around hungry, sniffing the twilight,
hunting for you, for your hot heart,
like a puma in the barrens of Quitratue.

I made this in my junior high geometry class.
The above article is an update. Her mother went to appeal to keep her out of the psychiatric ward and lost. She will be institutionalized because of her expression of her gender. She will be held until she conforms to male gender and then released to foster care, not her mother who was supporting her.
Please, if you haven’t signed the petition, sign it, reblog it, ask your friends to sign it. We’ve managed to get 40K signatures for a pageant model, we’ve only gotten 11K for a little girl about to have her life ruined. Lets get on the ball and spread the word.
I literally just repeated the f-word until I ran out of breath.
Let me catch my breath. I may go on a cursing spree again as soon as I get it back.
Seriously people…
WHY THE FUCK AREN’T PEOPLE REBLOGGING THIS??

Why might fans of Harry Potter be the future of politics? Prof Henry Jenkins, author of Spreadable Media, explains.
Jenkins: One of the things we saw in the states was when DC created a story in which Superman renounces American citizenship, undocumented immigrants in the United States, the DREAM activists, began to seize that image and said when did Superman ever become an American citizen? If ever there was an illegal alien, Kal-El of Krypton probably fits the description. He snuck across the border illegally. He has been in hiding for the rest of his life. He’s passed himself off as an American when he really, in fact, is from another world. The immigrant’s rights movement has been using that icon to shift public perception of their struggle, to understand it through different terms. Even to the point of jokingly passing out Clark Kent glasses at political rallies…
Interviewer: But as things stand that should be challenged legally because they are deploying an image that is someone else’s property.
Jenkins: Yeah. This is a classic example of copyright infringement perhaps but towards political ends. And we’re seeing more and more that mass-produced content is being seized and turned into political resources. Whether it’s the use of zombies and V for Vendetta masks by Occupy or whether it’s the Palestinians marching through the occupied territory painted as Na’vi from Avatar or the Harry Potter Alliance which is using Harry Potter to rally people behind gay marriage. All of those are examples of fan activism in one sort or another that are taking advantage of the infrastructure Hollywood has created to use very powerful cultural symbols towards political ends. And that’s why I think copyright is worth struggling over. This is a means of speech that is proving to be very effective for a variety of groups and we want to make sure the access of citizens to be able use the core myths of their culture in ways that are generative for them.
