I don’t think you understood what I meant by what we would call a man in a dress or a transwoman. There’s no language in English to even explain it. You also don’t understand how a culture can have a strict gender binary between men and woman and also accept a completely different pluralistic standard for anyone that…

High heels and makeup are the opposite of female privilege. High heels, like many women’s clothing bind women’s mobility. Makeup, which costs us time and money, so we can use pencils and brushes to draw and paint on our face because it’s required for us to be deemed presentable. I wear some form of makeup almost daily…

A culture with rigid male and female social roles doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t recognize trans people. The letter strongly relates with my primary cultural upbringing, which strongly held gender binary roles for men and women. Those roles didn’t apply to trans people though because they were not seen as nor did…

That’s all gender is, though. It’s a collection of stereotypes and assumptions and traditions all bolted together into something resembling a coherent whole

Absolutely. I just think we should all keep in mind that Adichie isn’t from here and her statement is valid with the framework of transactivists in other countries. It’s something to be mindful off. However, as I say this I’m not aware if Adichie’s culture is one in which trans people are fully recognized as the one I…

There are outliers, including trans people and intersex people, who do not easily fit into one of the two sexes, and yet people insist that we must-because science?

The implication being that trans women don’t fall into the larger group “women,” but rather than “trans women” and “women” are two separate groups. Which just feeds into the idea that trans women aren’t “real” women, and some separate other.

How many times have I stated my use of illegal search and seizure is as a matter of principle, not the law.

The principle behind illegal search and seizure is obtaining information illegally. Theft by private citizen, foreign national, or anyone is wrong. Illegal search by government or hacking/stealing by non-government person is all problematic. Justifying wrong actions because you support the end behind the means doesn’t…

Shouldn’t the jizz be treated with a bit more care since those could be future offspring.

Every procedure has what you could call counseling. When I had something as common as my wisdom teeth taken out the doctor explained different type of procedures I could choose from, what he recommended, what to expect from each procedure and possible side effects/pain and then scheduled the appointment after he had…

Most fertilized eggs naturally die off but Tinderholt doesn’t think women should have the right to choose to remove it from their body unless to assist with procreation. Mostly sperm naturally dies off but Farrar doesn’t think men should have the right to choose to remove it from their body unless for the purpose of…

The purpose or end result of illegally obtained evidence may impacts how much outrage I feel but my emotions or visible protest doesn’t diminish the wrongness of the method. I won’t cheer on use of illegal search or seizure even if it results in being beneficial for what I believe to be a just cause. That’s called…

No, all Assange had on him was political contributions he’s made under a different name.

He didn’t say “interracial-marriage.” It’s possible he means all the white people, who’re white by social class, race or ethnic background, to all marry and make lots of babies so America can go back to the vast majority being white. Especially since at one point Cuomo did ask something like, “who’re you talking about…

Firstly, I don’t support stealing even if it’s to prove a noble case. So I’m against Assange’s methods, always have been.

That means nothing when it’s driven by an agenda rather than principles.

How does one even get out of the greys? I’ve been posting for years. Couple years ago I was black then suddenly found myself in the grey again and have been since. I’ve never trolled or posted anything indecent. I still remain in the greys

His interview with Bill Maher makes Assange’s hypocrisy transparent. Maher questioned Assange on bias in his work and Assange responded with avoiding the question and threatening Maher with the dirt he dug up on him. He was pretty much saying to the media, don’t question or check me because if you dare do that, I will…

The shield could be used for other purposes too. What makes absolutely not sense and I would really like an explanation for is why her body armor is strapless and the chest part sticks out rather than flat. To quote from the official trailer itself, “how can a woman possibly fight in that?”
