If your name is Jenna and you think, I am a girl, I feel like a girl, I identify as a girl, I want to be called a girl, and then your parents, your teachers, your coworkers, and your friends keep calling you a boy, insisting you play on the boy’s team in gym, insisting you shop in boy sections, etc. you would feel…

They do not own their child. Children are not property. They are humans. Humans are entitled to receiving designations they choose regarding how to refer to themselves, thus if Leelah wished to be identified as a girl, they should choose the correct pronouns accordingly. They do not get to choose identifications or…

I don’t think cops understand anything about natural reactions. It is natural if someone tries to pin you that you will struggle without even thinking about it. If someone pushes you, you will naturally grab things to help keep you upright. If you’re being assaulting or violated by someone else, screaming is not…

That is slightly hopeful, but really, how long until another state brings it up? Or they keep bringing up bills like this?

You know, my first couple boyfriends and fooling around in high school was just awful because we had no idea what we were doing. Tantric sex class could have been informative. Now kids just have the internet I guess.

Just a note on newish cars, someone here mentioned okay, get a 2005 Civic (over 10 years old at this point) and they are going on Craigslist for around 5-6k. Just so you know, a bank won't usually underwrite a loan for a car 7-8 years old because value, etc. If you have 5-6k in cash, you can get a lease or buy a new…

Can confirm. Parents did nothing. Drowning in debt, crying self to sleep, barely functioning. The best part? Even if I want to declare bankruptcy, the loans wouldn't be forgiven. Also, attempted suicide doesn't count for the financial exemption. :( Fuck America.

One of my favorite pairs of shoes are actually Crocs and I constantly get asked what they are. Do not discount their flats. Haters gonna hate. Their boat shoes are very lovely too.

Cosigning the button. We know where we stand.

I literally have camera phobia now because of how terrible I look in pictures. I was dubbed "Down Syndrome Face" DSF, in school and I have never been able to move past it. Part of the reason why I say I don't even want to get married is because I will have a nervous breakdown if I have to take more than a single…

As I tweeted earlier, he reminds me of an 80s super villain or a guy that GI Joe would fight.

This may not surprise you sadly, but not all guns have safeties.

Is there etiquette for if the couple getting married is much much much more well off than you? I make only minimum wage and parting with $100 even $50 is really hard. Do you just decline going then? Please advise.

Stand up doesn't always translate to being a good host though. I think Lewis Black's standup is amazing but he would be a terrible host.

So much truth it fucking hurts.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: SCOTUS is a piece of shit, backwards institution and they are consistently on the wrong side of history, sans the few examples that exist. More often than not, SCOTUS interpretations are bullshit.

Every male in my grad program for education is putting in their bare minimum 5 years teaching and immediately jumping to admin. If you ever meet a female principal it is very likely she has over 10-15 years of teaching experience before she went to admin.

Did we live a similar life? Parents got me diet pills for Christmas, as my only Christmas gift because I need large shirts in the junior section because boobs. Argh.

Right? I was upset at wearing size 11 jeans because double digits = fat. Now I would kill to fit in some junior sized 11s.

I switched to LUSH beauty and bath products and my skin has never been happier. :)
