Exactly, for someone who is supposedly a mental health nurse she knows very little about mental health.

Oh lord - at least it looks like they took it down. Though it never should have been up in the first place. "Hey guys, lets use someone's mental illness and suicide to further our backwards agenda to control women's bodies!"

But it seems that he targeted vulnerable women, either in terms of being in financial need or needing legal assistance after being victims of domestic violence. I don't think that's normal "hey you're cute and I know this is unethical but we should date" - that seems to be very real targeting and taking advantage of…

Off topic a bit, but I have a question that I'm hoping you (or anyone else reading) may be able to answer, because I can't find any information about it online. I was under the impression from a former psychology professor that gender dysphoria does not apply to all individuals who identify as trans* - that rather it…

Oh, how I miss this show.

I stopped watching that show after one of it's breaks, but I don't know why! I need to start watching it again.

ABC Family continues to surprise me with the issues they tackle. I think it's amazing that they're bringing these topics to light with the younger generation (and the people like me who still watch it in the…

I love PLL, which is actually considered rather progressive itself in how it deals with Emily's storyline (at least by AfterEllen, which covers it weekly!) - no shame. I strongly suggest checking out the weekly recaps by Heather Hogan on AfterEllen - they're hilarious and sometimes rather touching.

I keep…

News like this make me second guess leaving Connecticut. I hate how expensive life is here for those of us who are poor, and I hate how cold it is in winter, but damn do I love [most of] our politics. This makes me proud to be from CT.

This is important information, thank you for posting (I wasn't able to watch the video).

Oh, the fear of childbirth is only one of the reasons I don't want children. I'm just not a maternal figure, have really bad genetics, am not financially or mentally stable, etc.

I'm glad that you were able to overcome your fear though, and that birth wasn't bad! If I was the type to have kids, I would definitely take…

I can understand that. I would estimate that the majority of women want children, and I would assume the fear that they would have a special connection to a first pregnancy, or not expect to have a connection to the child while being pregnant or something along those lines. It's a generalization, but in such an…

Thank you, that looks like a great read!

That's right - I didn't even think about the egg donor. Surrogacy is a wonderful option, but damn does it get confusing if things go wrong.

Can someone explain what happens in a surrogate pregnancy if one or both parents were to back out of a custody agreement (although in this case, since Sally is the biological father I imagine that's not an option for him)? Would that surrogate have any legal responsibility to care for the child? That kind of thing is…

I haven't traveled much out of CT, but I have a feeling we're probably better on paper too. That being said, if I didn't want to move somewhere warmer, I would choose Mass or Vermont.

The article plus this comment thread is my everything right now.

That's actually her hand on her ass - I had to do a double take myself.

I went through a period where I met a lot of people from myspace and livejournal. I always met them with friends or in public places however, and thank goodness for that. One time I met a guy at a local coffee shop with my friend, he was a little odd but seemed harmless and so we went to his house to hang out for a…

There's a great video of a group of cows being let out after a long winter and scampering around in the grass.

Power Pocket Princess sounds like a vibrator.
