I don't understand the obsession with fertility. I get why they would want people to take hormones, but the thing about frozen eggs/sperm and infertility makes no sense to me. Why do they care? What difference does it make? Also, was what Thomas Beatie did technically illegal? How can they even regulate all of…

Thank you for the article. After reading it, I can't tell if these countries are requiring SRS (which could cause sterilization), or straight up sterilization. The first one wouldn't be quite as heinous, but as OP explained, this requirement is out of touch with what trans people actually want and need. It seemed…

My sister told me I had a ghetto booty at the age of twelve. TWELVE! I had no idea what she was even talking about. She also has my exact butt, so I'm not sure why she thinks she can talk. I had a "friend" put on my bra and laugh at the tiny cups in 7th grade, and another "friend" flick my butt and laugh at it…

It's actually extremely common for SWA flight attendants to do little routines like this. I'd say you've got about a 50% chance of getting someone like her when you fly. It's happened to me so often that I was surprised this was news.

Whoa, whoa, what? Before I ask my question, I'm just going to start with the disclaimer that I may not get all of the terminology correct, and for that I apologize in advance. No offense is intended, I'm just not always sure how to speak properly about these things. So, if a person who is born physically male wants…

I think pretty much everyone missed that point. You should read the GoodReads reviews on it; they are absolutely vomitous. Does Green say anywhere that the book was supposed to be satire? I hated it so very much, and I would feel better about life if that's what he was going for.

You are so, so right. Saying, "I'm so boring and white. I, like, do my taxes and recycle and have a job," is not only backdoor bragging, but it's backdoor racism because it implies that these attributes belong to white people alone. I think Kenneth's reaction here properly expresses how I feel about this.

Good luck! It's very kind of you to empathize with other women in that way.

Exactly, besides the fact that there are so many steps someone must take to even get to that moment. There is that whole thing in the Bible about how thinking about a sin is tantamount to actually doing it, and that is because you first have to consider that action within the realm of possibility. The moment you…

And the craft room of terror! That was possibly the best scene of the whole season. When she spins the rack of craft scissors in a threatening manner, I just lose it.

Before I post anything, I first ask if I will end up featured on that blog. Then I ask if anyone besides myself cares. I wish more people did the same.

I've been thinking something along these lines for a while, and I'm so relieved I'm not the only one. To start out, I'm white. But I don't care if white people get made fun of, and I don't believe in reverse racism. However, I think that making fun of white people for being white is bad for everyone. Claiming that…

The bigger the blowback, the more reason to lie. Remember last week when that girl lied about sneaking her boyfriend into her room? And her dad murdered him? Kids don't always know the proper time to come clean. I think it's fair to say we need more information before making a judgment in this situation. That isn't…

Oooooh, that's such a hard one. As a teacher, I know students are such little liars and their parents should definitely not believe everything they say. However, now I'm a parent, too, and I certainly would come to my daughter's aid in this situation. I am not looking forward to her reaching school age.

When has that ever stopped men from getting married?

LDS/Mormon person here, and it would not be a problem in our doctrine if Jesus were married. Many already believe he had a wife because it would have been strange if he were single. They theorize that it wasn't mentioned because OF COURSE he was married, so it wasn't necessary to point it out, if that makes any sense.…

I'm 27.5 weeks currently and just standing up long enough to make dinner sets my hips aching for hours. Which means I won't be working out and will gain as much weight as I please, thank you very much. ANY comment about a pregnant woman's weight or eating habits is just so incredibly inappropriate because you have no…

That's illegal, right? Please, please tell me that she can sue the pants off him over this.

So how would she compare to an Olympic athlete? I am totally in awe of her, and my untrained eye wants to give her ALLLLLLLL the gold medals.
