FRESH HOT TIP: if you have the feels about providing medically necessary treatment to our prisoners, consult the Constitution. And if you’re worried about people who are so desperate for medical coverage that they’re willing to GO TO PRISON to get it, then try improving our healthcare system, rather than making it…

Yes, exactly, people surrender all their human rights when they commit crimes. Human rights are available only to those who earn them, because that’s how human rights work. Not that medical care (including, God forbid, mental healthcare) is a human right or anything.

She used the “putting Trump in the White House” shaming of third party voters. That is disgusting. Samantha is smarter than that and knows better. The Democratic Party does not stand for my ideals. I will not support them for President. I will vote down-ticket for them, but I will either abstain from the President…

Maybe I’m missing something here, but what the fuck does keeping polygamy illegal do to prevent under age marriage and sexual assault? If marriage is illegal under a certain age, and sexual assault is always going to be illegal (well, on paper anyway, we all know how sexual assault is treated currently, during our…

Gender identity can be mood-based for some people, yes. That’s a fairly common feeling among people who are genderfluid or who reject a rigid gender binary.

I’m coming from the other side of things from you. I’m not Black, but I am trans.

Nothing in that Facebook post explicitly supports what you’re saying.

No, it wasn’t correct at all. Nothing you’ve said has been correct ever at any point in this thread. Alexis used different pronouns depending on whatever mood s/he was in and all of the siblings knew that. This has been made abundantly clear to you on this thread I’m guessing around 30 times at this point.

You can make those points when you have proof an offensive act has been committed. But you’re jumping the gun by making baseless assumptions and accusations. Simply because you take issue with the terms the surviving brothers and sisters used to memorialize their sibling isn’t necessarily indicative that an…

And? So you went and found a more recent Facebook post that doesn’t really excuse the general shittiness of your reaction to his first statement and his second statement still doesn’t really support any of the stupid shit you said the first time around. So why the fuck did you wallpaper the thread with that? Now you…

I’m just sorry so many people seem to give a shit what you think, given your obvious agenda to make this about transgendered persons who’s families misgendered them or have been misgendered by society in general.

You know, even the worst gambler knows when to quit doubling down.

If you think that's what's going on, then you know nothing about the Arquette family and are an asshole.

Preventing deaths like Leela’s isn’t as simple as reminding people to use the preferred gender of the person they are talking about, it goes into a basic level of respect and dignity that has more to do with isolation and loneliness and very little to do with pronouns. And again, the family left behind gets to use…

It’s neither fair, nor appropriate, nor decent, nor logical given the overwhelming evidence that the Arquette family supported all of Alexis’ transitions. Your doubts are based on nothing other than your own self involvement, nice try though.

I’m sure you know better than the families of departed transgender folks what language to use, but you have zero ownership of it, it’s not your place to judge. The people who are left behind when a loved one departs are free to do whatever the fuck makes them feel better, or do you believe that funerals and wakes…

Guilty until proven innocent is definitely the best approach to take in life, especially when critiquing someone’s expression of grief on the same day as his sibling’s death. Assuming the worst in people leads to happiness. Keep on.

“It’s sadly common...” You are being patronizing and disrespectful right now. Alexis’s family did NOT “misgender” him. They were supportive of hist transitions, which were multiple, and his evolving pronoun preferences. Ironically, it is you who are erasing their support and love in order to make his narrative fit…

I kind of read the exact opposite from this statement. It feels like Alexis’s brother was being very careful in his use of language and was very respectful of Alexis’s preferences/wishes.

Hillary Clinton meanwhile made a speech promising to really stick it to oil and gas companies.
