Internalized misogyny. I did this too before I realized that I would also be treated like shit no matter how “different" I thought I was from other women. And that criticism of women is skewed.

I don’t know if I’m supposed to say “poor Ivanka” or “poor Tiffany” to this. Who do you pity more? The daughter he forgets exists or the one who is the subject of his gross fixation?

an impressive 12-week paid leave policy

Well, to be fair, what is a comprehensive physical examination if not your body being audited?

So...basically the same excuse as with the taxes. He’s “being audited” and he’s “having a physical”.

Damn right. These fucker are all “but what about the menz” and “girls don’t care—they have boys to help them!” Fuck outta here.

I’ve owned probably 10 businesses in my life. Came from a very conservative family of nothing but boys. It was TestosteronePalooza and my dad was/is a bit of a sexist. We’re all products of our experiences. Here are two of mine:

he is a parent and he has never parented. he made his (now ex) wife use her sick days for their kids.

I wasn’t planning to take a sick day today but suddenly I feel very ill.

Whether this asshole is a parent or not, he has clearly never parented.

Women do take more sick days, but they typically use them to care for children and elders who are ill.

Taking “Junior” to the hospital is a totally valid use of a sick day under basically every rule out there. What the fuck.

I know this is a joke, but he wouldn’t even go that far. ‘Google things’ would never be his approach anymore than ‘hire the best people’ was. Any argument about how he’s going to suddenly become competent is just to wave off criticism by sane people. He has literally no intention of ever looking vaguely in the…

And if you call right now, we’ll double the offer. Two word salads for the price of one.

Okay, yeah, but those rights have to do with participating in society and potentially causing harm. (The right to vote is actually not restored to felons, and the whole thing is a very contentious issue, particularly because it perpetuates systemic racism, but anyway...)

I understand your point. Mine is that you are making the assumption that she could have simply “had the surgery all on her own” if she hadn’t broken the law when that’s not true. There are a large amount of trans men and women who desperately want said surgery but are not able to have it due to monetary concerns both…

The most important part of this is the In Service transition piece. Other stories about this kind of buried that and made it seem as if this is something special just for Manning but it’s really a new benefit being given to transgender soldiers in the US under a new administration policy designed to make it easier for…

I hope this ruling will set a precedent for federal/state prisoners. I work in federal court and we have several active cases where transgender inmates are not getting proper medical treatment for their transitions and/or they are being housed in a prisoner for the opposite gender that they identify with.
