Can you imagine how happy kids and adults alike would be to have a little Tree Trunks toy? I think I'd die...

Completely leaving out the adolescents and young adults who watch the show religiously - i.e. me and my college friends.

We also have to make sure that babysitters and nannies are paid a living wage, though. I was a nanny last year. I got paid $80 a day for my 13 1/2 hour shifts with two children under the age of 3. (That's a little under $6 an hour) I worked 3-4 days a week. I had another job that paid me another $75 a week. It was…

...Ouch, my faith in humanity...

Is it a difficult life you lead? Having nothing better to do on a Saturday than try to troll this website must be dull and unfulfilling.

Right, but a trans* person is not obligated, after that exchange, to explain why that is offensive.

But it's never polite to ask about someone's genitals. So if you want to talk to people who aren't using their manners, it seems you'd have more of a problem with the people who simply have to know what's going on inside another person's pants.

Again, someone asking about your religion is different than someone asking about your genitals.

I've kind of noticed this, not in high fashion, really (I don't follow it too closely) but in everyday men's wear. Lots of things - peacoats, infinity scarves, those floppy hats - are all unisex now. Honestly, I like the look of men's wear better these days. Most mannequins I see at the mall in the women's department…

If you had this discussion with people who are ignorant about trans* issues, they wouldn't be rude to trans* people. Don't get mad at people for being upset with rude behavior - get mad at the people who are rude in the first place.

You have to understand, too, that after hearing comments like these day after day for their entire lives, trans* folks are gonna be exasperated with the constant barrage of intrusive, insensitive questions. How many times a day do they have to hear someone ask, "So are you a real woman, yet?" "When are you having your…

Right, but it could have been handled better. Couric could have asked, "Is there anything you would tell people who may have questions about your body or transitioning?"

The best way this would have been accomplished would be for Couric to ask each of these women, "Is there anything you would tell people who may have questions about your body?" This way, they can answer comfortably, without being forced to be in yet *another* situation where they are misunderstood. Either of them…

But at the same time, you cannot be expected to educate everyone about every question they'll ever have about Judaism. You're not representative of your entire community. There are plenty of ways to learn about Judaism without asking you about every little thing. If you answer a basic question, that's one thing, but…

We have one of these at my school. They don't just deal with sexual assaults, though, they can help with mental health stuff and student disputes and all that. It goes well as far as I know. They also give presentations about safe, consensual sex (and not just heterosexual sex).

Yeah, that's just weird...

I think he means "fornication" in the biblical sense, as in the sin of fornication which is sex before marriage.

That's a phenomenon I've noticed too. Another coincidence: I'm into kink, specifically D/s. I'm a Domme, or a dominant woman, and every single other Domme I know is a cat-lover and grammar-nazi.

No, it's not, but you don't seem to understand the desperation of a place like that. There is literally no other option.

I could type out a reasoned response, indicating that I am none of these things, telling you how I have been arguing that this is a complex issue with many sides, none of which make murder okay, but you wouldn't care because you're a troll and have nothing better to do than this. You have nothing in your life other…
