Nope. It's also her fetus and it's entire existence is solely dependent on the woman, as the fetus is parasitic. The man incurs no risk. And I have biology and the Supreme Court on my side.

Did you accidentally get linked here from the PUA subreddit or something?

Horrible is forcing a woman to be an unwilling incubator. A man can have as many children as he wants, provided he can conceive, carry and birth them himself. A woman's body and everything contained therein are hers.

Well, if they were just at the OB to confirm the pregnancy, the sonographer wouldn't be privy to whether you were planning to abort. They just do the procedure and hand you the picture, and then you deal with the doctor. This is all reminding me that I'll be flying Trans-Vaginal myself next week to date my latest…

I've done it for all 75 of my abortions.

Faethe, these guys are right, there really is a difference between not serving an individual and not promoting a message.

No, the Court did not. They found it to be a violation of the Due Process clause. Until the Civil Rights Act is amended, discrimination of this sort is perfectly legal.

It's not her responsibility, but as you said, she's a spokesperson/educator. If she were a trans actor/doctor/what have you, that would absolutely not be appropriate. But I think turning accidentally offensive comments or questions into teachable moments is a really good thing for educators to do. Otherwise, how else…

Sometimes I feel like the concept of intent is lost in conversations like this. But I agree, intent really does matter.

This is a fantastic video and article! But, to go off on a tangent, I think curiosity can be a means to empathy. That doesn't mean you should ask prying questions to people you barely know, or people who don't want to talk about an issue. And you should definitely back off if somebody changes the subject or tells you…

And it illustrates how important it is that people like Mock are putting themselves out there like this. Very few people could take that sort of questioning with the grace that she does. For the average trans woman, I'd agree with Madeleine that that sort of questioning is extremely invasive. And transgender people…

I think it's human nature to be curious, and if someone is willing to share their journey, I'd be the first one there to listen & learn about a life I have no experience with. But you're right - these are incredibly invasive and uncalled for. I can't imagine if someone asked me questions like that and expected an…

I agree completely that questions about bodies and surgeries need to end, but Mock's book is titled, in part, "My Path to Womanhood." The official book jacket says it is a book about growing up as a trans girl.

When you write a book explicitly about your experience growing up trans and transitioning to womanhood,…

No one was denied service for being a minority. No one said "We don't serve gays here". Their clarified policy is completely legal.

Real nice that your mind is so small that you can't differentiate between an opinion on legality and a statement of support. Also my personal feelings on the matter are moot. Whether I think their scum or heroes doesn't effect their legal rights.

I don't think Americans criticizing Italy's justice system means the commenter is being

Maybe this is going to turn into some sort of bizarre tradition in Italy? Two hundred years from now they'll be staging mock trials of Amanda Knox every two years, each iteration the verdict will switch.

SERIOUSLY!? ERGHHHHHH....now where the hell am I supposed to get this printed up?!

"Immodesty"? "Freemasonry"?
