Once it’s in place you don’t notice it. It was very painful the first insertion (1 lasts 5 years) for me. No reason why particularly - I think I tensed up, it was an office procedure, didn’t know what to expect, etc. you have to check the strings periodically, they sort of hang past the cervical opening. But honestly…

I had the Mirena for 5 years, and it was great. You don’t really notice it’s there (although your partner might because of the strings), you generally don’t have periods (or they’re very light) and barring anything horrible like it piercing your uterus, it’s pretty risk-free. It’s just expensive and briefly painful to…

Religion isn’t necessarily practiced privately. And often has a great deal of impact on policies either through voters or through the elected.

She said she’s a “conservative Republican” so we can make some reasonable assumptions.

Well, my answer to that is obvious and easy: I don’t belong to any religion. I don’t believe in God. I don’t adhere to groups that are (1) non-democratic and (2) not equitable. If I can’t have a say and role in determining the ideology/practices of my group, then I don’t belong. I can maintain membership if the group…

You’re damn straight it’s a thing. I’m not racist, but I’m sure as hell religionist.

I’m against anyone who thinks they deserve respect for whispering words in their mind and thinking that a fucking MAN/MALE in fucking space or their hearts (or wherever) is actually LISTENING to them and created everything, despite…

And plenty of people have been killed for their political beliefs throughout history. Of course, calling Caitlin Jenner an asshole for her political beliefs isn't discrimination so much as...astute observation.

Yeah but should it be? You should be able to judge someone for the things they choose to think.

Whether most, all or some Saudis believe that women couldn’t or shouldn’t drive, it was the law in their country until recently, it was supported by religious leaders as appropriate and women had to fight to get the “right” to drive. You can certainly question the religious dogma that supports the oppression of women…

AMEN! (irony intended)

But even within Religions belief can vary greatly. The United Church of Canada has had LGBTQ reverends since the nineties. The Catholic Church still believes it’s a sin.

Yes! That was actually the most striking thing about her comment. Completely unaware of her privilege.

Completely agreed. And I also hope that she realizes the class (and celeb) privilege that is shielding her from the kind of struggles most trans people in the US have to deal with.

The extra O will be brown and represents the open, sore assholes of all competitors

A group of geese is a gaggle. A group of dogs is a pack. A group of ants is an army. A group of deer is a herd. What is a group of tapeworms?

Lol you covered for me, thank you my friend.

no, six. It mutated and grew an extra one.

It’s going to be a fantastic (literal) shit-show.

whoops, five. fuck it.
