"...the blurred lines between a good girl and a bad girl, and even very good girls all have little bad sides to them."

George Michael called and wants his entire look back.

Is it considered condoning something to say that you like it?

Seriously I don't know what the fuck the GOP thinks women are going to see in there. A toddler with a cute mop of hair in a tiny fingerpainted tshirt that says mommy I love you?

I agree...during the course of my two pregnancies, I've had to have three vaginal ultrasounds (or probings, as I like to call them to take the edge off). They aren't fun, even when you're in the beginning stages of a planned pregnancy. I'm willing to bet they royally suck when you're faced with having to decide…

Ok calm down, it just depends on the statistic that's being used.

Joshua, how would feel if you woke up tomorrow and had a vagina? Would that make you a girl? No - you'd feel like a guy with a girl's body. Gender is not all about genitals. If you saw any of the transgender kids I work with as a therapist, you would have no idea that they weren't the gender they were presenting…

I'm a little skeptical about the wording of "willfully trick and deceive sexually interested people into thinking they are biological men or women." The idea that there are a bunch of trans individuals deliberately hiding that they are trans throughout a relationship strikes me as a transphobic myth. Unless you are…

Sex and gender are two very different and unrelated concepts, friend. Do you know what the difference is?

"whaaa why can't people just conform to my socially created gender norms so that they never make me uncomfortable whaaa"

Yep. Of course boys will live as girls and identify as girls just to hear a girl tinkle in the next stall over. And of course girls will live as boys just to catch a glimpse of a penis! /sarcasm

Multiple people over there tried telling me that this will just exacerbate the horrible history of people falsely claiming to be trans in order to sexually exploit young girls. When asked for evidence of this happening once in the entirety of human history, nobody could come up with any examples. Funny, that.

Basic understanding of science= I passed ninth grade biology and have a grasp on sexual dimorphism in humans.

You know, this is great and all but basically the big huge revelation here is that women should have the absolute right to decide whether they get to have certain surgical procedures done. Legal surgical procedures, I should add, despite s vicious political movement dedicated to denying women that choice, even in…

What the hell kind of Valentine's Day cards has he been giving people?

Further proof that everyone who whines about "political correctness" is just saying "When I act like a racist/sexist/homophobic asshole, society doesn't give me its unqualified blessing like it used to."

My boss once said something kind of like this. It was in reference to the statistic (I can't remember it off the top of my head) about like 3 out of 5 women are sexually assaulted in college (or whatever it is). He said something like "it's probably just them being hit on by some guy they don't like." It was a…

I'm trying to avoid major judgment here, but it seems like a bad idea to meet and agree to marry someone while undergoing an experiment that effectively has you both looking and behaving very differently to how you normally would.

Does anyone remember when The Daily Show tore her apart for her flip-flopping stance on Maternity Leave?

Before she got pregnant she was all "It's evil socialism!"
After she got pregnant and came back she was all "Back off my maternity leave!"

Kelly is typical of a lot of conservatives in that she cares about societal problems when they impact her. I don't feel this makes her marginally more tolerable, I think it's a depressing anecdote feeding into an ethos largely devoid of empathy. It's glaringly disingenuous. I hate it.
