Bless you for having the patience to break this all down for that fool.

I’ll tackle that second question. To preface this, I am transgender and medically transitioning.

If you’re a fan of Emily Dickinson and will be in NYC between now and the end of May, the Morgan Library and Museum has a fantastic exhibition of her written poems, the only known original photograph(s?) of her, a lock of her hair (spoiler alert: she was a redhead!), and many other details and personal effects of her…

My ex frequently makes it all to clear to my 13 year old son that she does not want him around. It’s pretty devastating to him. I do my best to make up for it and make sure he knows that his mom’s feelings about him aren’t his fault, but that’s the kind of rejection that no amount of logic can fix.

There are things I do help her with, like expanding her music tastes, science and technology and such.

My mother was also not wanted by her parents. I can not imagine the truly horrific pain of it, and wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy.

Oh give me a fucking break. Society failed him by making him an idolized millionaire? Get a fucking grip.

Twitter wins:

I’d like to believe this means it will stop appearing in my FB feed but now it will probably just be worse.

I think she did an amazing job of portraying a very old woman in a much younger woman’s body. Her movements (mostly) say “old” but she is obviously not.

Speaking as a circumcised trans woman, it’s still super fucked up and damaging. Pretending non consensual circumcision is cool isn’t helping anyone. If the clit has been removed, I agree. If the labia and hood have been removed? That’s kinda close. Both can be wrong. It doesn’t have to be a contest.

Edit: so he was convicted on a restraining order, which means someone in the justice system fucked up big time. To say the least.

In CA they cant, IF they are* convicted.

It’s really embarrassing when anyone uses that term, especially as no one seems to be weirded out by saying the word, “penis.” Acting ashamed of the word, “vagina,” only reinforces the stigma that it’s something to be ashamed of.

It always has to be RPGs. It can never be the 8-hour action game, or whatever. The gods are tormenting us.

that’s my plan! no risk of overwritten games when there aren’t any shitty kids around to screw around with my systems

Reason #286 that I’ll never have children.

I also hate the Top Replies thing rather than just...all replies.

i thought i had somehow clicked on the article. HOW DID I GET HERE?

My hatred for the infinite scroll is record breaking, too.
