Why aren't these women comfortable with other people in the bathroom? Are they afraid they will not be safe in the ladies' restroom?

The only problem with a trans woman in a woman's restroom is that she's less likely to have a tampon for you to borrow in her purse. Considering that I rarely have a tampon in my purse either, I don't really consider this a problem.

Chrome wouldn't let me sign in to comment, so I logged in through Firefox.

She does this kind of shit all the time without admitting to it. The first time I dyed my hair (to a slightly different shade of brunette than I started with), she freaked out on me big time. She's very controlling, and it manifests in ridiculous ways which are hilarious in retrospect or if you're not actually…

My sister also has curly hair; mine is very straight. For years, my mother used to put hot rollers in my hair and flat-iron my sister's. When I got to be about 16 or 17, I was like, "Wait. This is absurd. I look good with straight hair and it takes not even a quarter of the prep time. If you want a curly-haired…

I'm a huge fan of Macy's for grown-up clothes. They sell nice slacks, and they carry enough brands that you can usually find some that properly fit your combination of butt, hips, belly, and thighs. You can get a variety of blouses and dresses, too, some from designer brands. You occasionally do find the stereotypical…

I found it pretty depressing as well. I sulked to my boyfriend, "I'll never have it all."

I know the dark-haired one. He's mostly a big goofball. I doubt he was intentionally being offensive. But being in the field he's in allows him to make juvenile jokes from time to time (although I'm not clear on who was joking about dongles and who was just giggling along — I wasn't there, I didn't hear, I'll probably…

This is probably a predigestive problem rather than an actual wheat allergy. I have the same sort of reaction to high-fructose corn syrup. My body might digest it in the same way that it does fructose, but it does not trigger a feeling of satiety the way that more natural sugars do. It may be that in cutting out the…

Approximately 30 years ago, when I was 2 or 3, I was the flower girl in my cousin's wedding. I was at the time the only child in the family, all of my cousins being in their teens or later. Little me was just so excited to wear a frilly white dress and walk down the aisle with a basket of flowers. I performed…

What you're missing here is the fact that you never had to play a character of the opposite gender, with very few exceptions, and your sister almost always did.

Same.

Rapunzel's 18th birthday was a plot point — she wanted to see the floating lights that always came on her birthday. Tangled was on the other night and I thought it was adorable. Although I was a little sad at the very end when Eugene admitted that he'd asked her to marry him instead of his original joke of taking his…

When my friends got married, she kept her name because she's published under her maiden name. Her husband admitted that he considered taking her name, but he's also published under his ...maiden name. When they had their son, they gave him her name because they liked it better, and also because they had a better…

Jennifer Lawrence did that little fist pump at the Golden Globes, I think. Definitely another awards show this season. I seriously doubt those women agreed to anything involving Seth MacFarlane and their boobs.

I think some men honestly don't know. My boyfriend is exactly my height, 5'6". Before we met, he insisted that he was 5'8". When we met, it was really obvious that he was no taller than I. But he quickly conceded that he hadn't measured himself in so long that it was really just a random guess. Essentially, he felt…

When I was in college, we'd have a big birthday party at the beginning of the fall semester because we had five friends born from the 22nd to the 28th of August. Hello Christmas babies.

I also wore that prom dress in 1997. Same color and everything. My darts were better, though.

My mother had a dove attempt to do this on top of her SUV once. She drove it to work and parked it in her usual spot. When she left for lunch that day, she had to shoo away a dove and displaced the beginning of the nest it was making. She came back, and the dove persistently started the nest again that afternoon. She…

I'm in New Orleans, which has the climate to support midriff baring, but you rarely if ever see it here. Plus I teach on a college campus, and you'd think that'd lead to a higher incidence of belly buttons, but no. The only time you'd see something like that is at something appropriate, like an outdoor festival…
