I love that nearly everyone rushing to the clinic's defense is ignoring the contemporary case and jumping back to the couple from five years ago, since it's clear the case with the single mother doesn't fit the narrative of insidious race fetishists at all. You may think you've found an effective way to mask your

Hey now — don't go injecting logic and science into the conversation!

Good.

First of all, I don't speak for Kat (who I think has been incredibly patient in her dealing with offensive crap being posted by a small segment of the community on virtually every other piece she puts up here), so this is my advice for you and all the other people here trying to tell trans people what they should or

I think I owe the author that for disrupting things.

Thanks for posting this Kat. The fact that such a relatively uncontroversial* piece still manages to draw so much ire from certain quarters really speaks volumes.

Bingo. While I appreciate the criticism of the fashion industry's exclusion of nearly every existent body shape but a few, the fact that a certain segment of people specifically and personally attack Andreja's status as a model (this definitely isn't the first time) leads me to believe something else lurks behind the

By this time in 2006 Obama was already sending shock-waves throughout the political sphere, and within 7 months he had already declared his candidacy. While I'm not saying it's impossible there will be another viable Democratic candidate in the 2016 election, the likelihood seems fairly low. We're essentially 17

Nah — most people get the tables are comped. The issue is that the dude is pulling a Comcast and won't STFU when the lady tells him she's not interested.

Yeah. To be honest, this thread has my eyes nearly rolling out of their sockets. In the comment section about a woman with an eating disorder and the self-absorbed evangelical vegans who bullied her online for making a lifestyle change, we've got over half a dozen posts from vegans telling everyone how obnoxious

Heads up to the people responding to Clestesti — check out his commenting history. He's a dude who is playing the hyperbole-troll game. He pretends to be a sort of "extreme feminist" who advocates violence in an effort to make actual feminists look bad.
