Oh I was not painting all Baptists as being like that. But really I worry because all it takes is a few bad seeds who use religious objection like a weapon to push things like this like what is being described at the Catholic hospitals and hurt people. There is not always much choice in an area.. this isn’t like…

Screw them. I have seen it and it is not just Catholic but also Baptist, and I am sure there are more. This abuse of power to “stop care” they don’t like and to use their size and relationships to even control what people who may work there can do outside is very dangerous. How am I to trust a doctor who is…

I did not know this was the dumpster fire of a person torturing women by denying access to needed services using his granted secular authority to push his religious views on them. Joy a face to the hate.

Oh goodness I want to believe having more women in government will make things better, and then I watch some of the women out there actively defending or working for people and decisions that hurt women and people of color. And I worry, but I continue to cling to the belief that our tide is rising and yes though not pe…

I don’t get it, maybe if they are trying to sit and pee with a “rigid hose” rather than a “flexible hose” maybe, but wouldn’t that cause it’s own issues? I mean some guys like things kinky I hear but that sort of kink seems umm... counter productive.... (Shrug) Sorry, a big dick toilet sounds like the perfect sort of…

I have never been so disappointed in this country in my life. Yes, I am a transgender woman and yes these attacks on my right to even exist scares the hell out of me. But I have lived with this fear my entire life before there was any protections at all too afraid to come out. Butnever have I seen so much open hate…

First off let me say I am all for vaccines and making sure that they are safe and effective. But goodness there has been such wierd resistance to this one. Please can we get this done so there is one less scouage out there. I am too old (48) and not exaxtly promiscuous by any measure. But i was recently reminded of it…

This was not my high school experience at all. I am in no yearbook, attended no social or sporting events, proms, or graduation itself. I did not even show up to the last day of school on my senior year. I never even picked up my diploma. People like him were the ones making my life miserable who would corner and trap…

Ugh, I have tried not read too much about it beyond skimming because it just makes me angry. Hearing how he used the classic “i’m the victim, even letting her speak hurts me” and saying it as loud and as emotionally as he can as if that made that defense even stronger and to watch it actually work *sigh*. And all the…

Wow, fascinating and eye catching. I feel embarrassed that I have not seen her work before. As someone who is transgender that work of her’s you lead with “Self-portrait with fried eggs” hits home. The social expectations and performative elements of gender one feels almost pushed into as they transition is a odd…

As a former Floridian for over 46 years, this does not surprise me. Anytime I drove outside the blue-ish major metropolitan areas and college towns I was nervous. There has always been a part of the state that embraces diversity and one that feels threatened by it. It used to be in this country that even a hit of…

Fascinating, I always had a special hatred for this sort of show. Mostly because though I hid it from everyone I was one of the “freaks” these sorts of shows loved to use. For sure it wasn’t just Jerry but it was another strong reinforcement to young me that my impression after years of abuse and reactions to others…

What in the living hell?!? I don’t even want to think what was this man’s facebook and “dating” profile and what the chances are he turns out to be a Jordan Peterson loving incel. I suspect he thought he was one of the “good men with a gun”. And that “self defense” claim? I can just see him now harassing these women an…

The way these officials hide their bigotry behind “rules” treating our identities like they are an unimportant masquerade or some form of fraud infuriates me. And I swear if they can find any way to do so they will use it.

Ugh, another example of old white men in power getting let off the hook because of implied value of and deference to their position. It is disgusting. A truly moral person would have stopped that by every means necessary. And if they could not themselves do so expressed remorse that they were not able to do enough…

Oh goodness reeealy? I just don’t get it how can anyone vote these people in after these past two years have made it all too clear what these people actually represent. Bigotry, misogyny, an oligigatry with politicians just a legion of grifting sock puppets. Plan to fix health care... no actual plan or improvement in…

Thank you judges, just thank you. I needed this tonight. 

Unfortunately if memory serves the current pope is part of the it is “unnatural and destructive” crowd. With southern baptists and a good number of evangelical groups pushing their bigotry with statements about it being against god’s will and such pulling out many of the same old tired binary arguments that need not…

Oh this nonsense, that a teen is just “confused”, “experimenting”, or “feeling pressured”. Some days I cry just thinking about what I went through in the early 80s as puberty changed me in ways that hurt. I don’t know how I knew it... but it felt wrong, very wrong... and I had no idea why and no positive role models…

How is it she can make me simultaneously envious and disgusted? I try to imagine myself in that and shiver.
