Trans people are mentally ill. I am not mentally disordered and I will not live according to someone else’s mental illness. Changing gender is not a thing. Men who want to wear dresses, wear makeup etc can do whatever they want, except make me pretend they are being women. MTF trans is misogyny. FTM trans is flattery.

You take away his agency:

Your experience is important and I’m glad you’re sharing it with the mostly cishet audience of Jezebel.

Beautifully stated. And perfectly describes how many Americans perceive Muslims, today. And there can be media collusion in this.

I know this is not entertainment news but the three Syrian families our mosque sponsored will not be coming to America as a result of the ban. They sold all their belongings, went through two years of grueling interviews and background checks and were at the airport in Istanbul Ataturk airport with their luggage and…

The funny thing is, she wasn’t being rude or snarky at all. She was just politely and matter-of-factly informing us that our information, as far as she knew, was irrelevant to her.

It’s interesting to find out how people measure which women are worthy of their sympathy after a violent attack.

I think that this is a good time to remind people that Netanyahu, long an opponent of Oslo and any two-state solution, first came to power following the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin.

And isn’t it funny how Trumpers are all about cutting foreign aide but not to Israel? Kind of like how they think all unions should be abolished but not cop or fire unions. It’s almost as if they aren’t ideologically consistent

Cheese grits are LIFE. Thank you for this!

Maybe you’re an asshole?

No, it’s a valid statement when so many people perceive any and all criticisms of Israeli policy as anti-Semitism.

Are you serious? The Israeli right-wing has buddied up to all kinds of anti-Semites and assorted white nationalists in recent decades.

Fucking Netanyahu... it really makes me sad what Zionism has become. It didn’t start out as pure colonialism. We just wanted our own place. And I want that I, really do... but not like this. I don’t want the security of the Jewish people to be reliant on the destruction of another people. Anyone ever read that short…

I have nothing against Israel or Jewish people, but America’s slavish spending on Israel at the expense of other allies in the area (like Jordan) makes about as much sense as the old embargo on Cuba.

Ugh, I’ve always been the liberal who defends Israel but Netanyahu’s willingness to mess with our elections, the utter d bag he has in an ambassador in Ron Dermer and Israel’s unwillingness to listen yet again to anyone in the world about Palestine was the last straw. All’s I’m reminded of is this Onion article:

Well, there’s another reason not to vote for this ass clown. He probably thinks the blockade of Palestine is hunky dory.

You’re not planning on having biological children so what’s stopping you from adopting right now? You should adopt or foster as many as you can support, since by your logic reproducing is inherently selfish, isn’t it just as selfish to knowingly ignore children sitting in “adoption centres” when you don’t have kids?…

I read this as being critical of Caitlyn Jenner, a trans person, not *all* trans people. I think it’s pretty obvious that Cait’s not a good person and has been a bit of a fame-whore since she first got on the Wheaties box as Bruce
