I'll pass these along. Am VERY partial to "suggestive motionologist"

"seasoned clothing-optional gyration specialist." Nicely done Anna. I have a few ideas

"What you just did there, sir, is effectively remove the tape from a cassette."

Now, I say this with all the love that I have for the PSP, which was (and, in its Vita successor, is) a great little system. But I just have to imagine that development meeting at Sony. A bunch of engineers like "this is a horrible idea" with an executive who got transferred from the MiniDisc division insisting that…

There's actually fairly copious evidence that female priests existed in the early Church and in reality, Paul's writings about them.

I dunno, they also consider Paul's writings divinely inspired, and I think you could certainly derive "women shouldn't be priests" from some of the stuff he said about them.

The biggest frustration with the Catholic Church's opposition to female priests and ministers is that there is literally NO Biblical basis for it. None. Jesus never said anything that would suggest that he intended to exclude women from the ministry. Nothing. Nada. Zip.

I told a joke to my old boss once. He was Catholic, I am Catholic, I figured he would enjoy it: What do you call a sleepwalking nun?

I don't think that line is being drawn, though. The stories, and like I said, it's been a while since I saw it, talk about experiences of womanhood that include vaginas. I don't see a problem with that at all. I don't feel marginalised by that. While, sure, the conflation of vaginas with the total nebula of "woman" is…

Bad, movie-title, bad!

Agreed. I've been using the ladies room for over a decade without a sideways glance but I would be willing to take a couple of trips to the other side to help these assholes understand exactly what it is they mean when they write these bills.

I generally use the ladies' room, but I would be willing to put the time and effort into learning how to pee standing up to make bigoted people uncomfortable.

Care to provide an argument to the contrary, or are all your opinions void of reason?

I doubt she actually believes trans people exist. "Trans woman" to her is just pinhead progressive code for "predator in lady clothing camouflage".

Well, there's the law, there's the threat of violent enforcement of gender norms, there's fear and shame, there's all kinds of shit. Not everyone passes, not everyone believes they pass, and even if they do pass not everyone feels safe.

People don't just say 'excuse me, what parts do you actually have.' They sometimes…

1. When I voted, there were nothing but old people as far as the eye could see, and one lone soccer mom type who pulled up with a Jesus fish on her SUV. I knew how this vote would go. I'm actually happy that it was as close as it was.

You know what, fuck it. I'm going to Fayetteville and I'm going to make it my personal mission to take a piss standing uncomfortably close to every male politician that supported this measure.
