Uh... does this literally sound like it was originally written in overwrought Russian and run through Google Translate, or is that just me?

So not unlike her political opinion on the matter of LGBT rights, then.

(But really, though, I don’t know why Tulsi Gabbard is even still in the race, let alone why anyone cares about anything she has to say.)

Based on the numbers someone posted above for a full-time writing position at the Daily Beast, that’s plausible; those are averages, so there’s a solid chance that she’s making less than posted, so let’s say $4-5000/month, and if she was doing side jobs in addition to her full-time job, then she could have been…

Well, the overwhelming majority of “gender critical” lesbians (or people generally) that I’ve encountered (again, almost entirely online- maybe I’ve just been singularly blessed to mostly hang out with normal people IRL, although I’m neither living in the States nor super tied into the LGBT community, because I’m old,…

Welp, there go the last vestiges of faith I had in humanity. Some people really need to stop and listen to themselves.

In fact, a transwoman I’m friends with (a lesbian with a no penis preference) was told She was transphobic by another transwoman because of her sexual preferences.

In short, yes, and as a lesbian, it’s a view that I’ve seen expressed (almost invariably by non-lesbians) more often than you’d think. That being said, the general consensus amongst people, trans and cis, who are not either predatory or going out of their way to be lesbophobic and/or play weird “gotcha” games with…

I’d probably start by asking whether they feel the same way about boob jobs, braces or makeup.

Honestly, sounds like someone’s been reading too much Bakunin or something. And I enjoy Bakunin as much as the next person, and many of his general ideas are things I can get behind, but the whole, “We’ll have no formalized power structure at all! People will just... voluntarily form their own commune-esque groups…

I know a number of men like this. They’re trash, they’re not progressive no matter how many buzzwords they spout, and I have started systematically, calmly cutting them out of my life, which has made me a much happier person. I usually will find an opportunity to let them know that I’m onto their bullshit and don’t…

Yeah, that’s where Yang lost me. I don’t see how you can view this guy’s comments as anything but malignant. Honestly, if you manage to hit the trifecta of blatant racism, anti-Semitism and homophobia in the space of one podcast episode, that is clearly not a slip, not a one-off, and I feel completely okay taking that…

Wow, this is highly relatable content, right down to the lesbian part. Hard same. I’m pretty much over interacting with men as a demographic at this point.

If you have a larger dog, they can’t fly in the seat. Even if I bought a seat for my English setter, which I would happily do, were this option available to me, the airline wouldn’t allow her to fly in it, unless I lied and claimed that she was a service animal, which of course I wouldn’t do. It’s not about not caring…

The last time I heard “Fredo” was in reference to DJTJ (who is not of Italian descent; I heard he’s 50% incompetent a-hole and 50% rancid Orangesicle on his father’s side) and NOBODY seemed to have an issue with that.

I’ll take a moment to snark on how it’s totally inappropriate to refer to people as “queer” unless they themselves have specifically indicated that they’re all right with being called that and have reclaimed that particular slur as their own. If Julianne Hough (or Joan, or literally anyone) isn’t saying, themselves,…

Wasn’t Zara also the one busted selling anti-Semitic stuff on multiple occasions? The owner is a well-known piece of shit, as well. They’re the absolute worst. Of course, at this rate, I’ll probably find out that the owner of Uniqlo is a former Nazi or something.

Oh, the “butches have male privilege” thing is so insane, and I can recognize and laugh at that now, but at the time, it really devastated me. I think because I was already looking at myself as some kind of... freakish monster or something as a result of my gender expression/messages received about said gender…

Oh, I could go on about the Dyke March at length, but I won’t, because I’ve gone the whole day without stroking out in rage, and I’d prefer not to change that now.

This pretty much mirrors my experience, also in the Northeast, also around the same age as Buttigieg. I can think of two people in my whole high school who came out, one my junior year, one my senior year. This idea that everyone was leaping out of the closet age 16 or 17 circa 1996 doesn’t remotely resemble my high…

Can we put down our wedding planning binders andfocus on the actually important fights?
