Caitlyn Jenner is a women. Referring to her as a man is insulting at best. But she is not a nice person and besides coming out, which if she wanted to live her true authentic life she had to do - so that was for herself, what has she really done for the community?

It can both be true that Caitlyn Jenner is not deserving of the Woman of the Year, and that this guy is an asshole for calling her a man.

She’s in the right business.

Whatever, lady.

Here’s a fun story: I had hepatitis C for about 25 years, and during that time I couldn’t be an organ donor. (Nobody wants your shitty organs if they’re filled with diseases.) This past year I went through treatment and have remained Hep-C free, so when I renewed my license I got to recheck the “donor” box. I wept at…

Agreed. My uncle died a few years ago and he was listed as an organ donor. No one in the family knew he did that. They used four of his organs for donations. Myself and almost everyone in the family signed up after we learned this.

It grosses me out, but I checked donor on my first permit because I know I would accept someone else’s organs if I needed them so I could never justify not donating myself.

But what’s even more important than your driver’s license is to have an advance directive on file with your donation wishes clearly spelled out. The donor indication on your license has absolutely no legal significance. Unless you have an advance directive, your next of kin can refuse to donate your organs whether or…

Don’t just put it on your licence... go and talk to your loved ones about how much it means to you. If the worst happens they will be asked, not you. Many families overrule the dead person’s wish to donate.

It’s morbid, but it’s necessary. My aunt and uncle made the very difficult decision, after their son’s apparent suicide (his body was kept alive for a short while in hospital, before they pulled the plug), to donate his organs. He was a healthy, active young man, and I think he wound up helping something like 7…

So cranky. So awkward. Crankward.

Same idea. It’s tasteless and you store it in the basement.

The older I get the more I wanted to become another ex Mrs. Malcolm.

You’re welcome. Here are some organizations you can donate to.

ooof i’m gonna check that out — also this whole national geographic project is the most incredible

There are a lot of local programs. My tribe does a lot to save our language. I have to look and see if there are programs people can donate to.

My tribe has been doing a lot to preserve our Menominee language. We teach it at my school which is a Native language and culture school. We even have a certification program that a number of people have gone through. There is a program to teach ten people to become teachers so they can create classrooms where the…

It is an absolute crime that this nation does not do more to preserve its indigenous languages and cultures. The ethnic cleansing did not end with the settlers; it is ongoing. That these efforts must be private endeavours, conceived and carried out by individuals, is unspeakable. Which other democratic, developed…
