Transgender people being allowed to transition is not a matter of comfort. It’s a matter of alleviating suffering. The punishment in prison is a reduction in freedom, not a sentence to suffer from untreated medical conditions.

The punishment inherent in prison is that your freedom is severely restricted. The punishment is not that you have to live without medical care for the duration of your sentence.

I am so sorry. This seems like one of the biggest failings of modern feminism. We’ve got big problems with race and big problems accepting transwomen and transgirls. It’s even worse given all the full throated support ‘LGBT’ issues get, yet the ‘T’ gets abandoned at the drop of a hat. We’ll fight and yell and oppose…

I really don’t get that. The republican party could’ve had this massive ‘I told you so’ moment in regard to democrats not considering Russia enough of a threat, but instead, they do a 180 and fall over themselves to suck Putin’s dick. Why would you blow (pun totally intended) that opportunity just to get in the good…

My mom is a ‘democrat’ who voted third party this year. She praised wikileaks for showing how corrupt Hillary is. I mentioned the rapes. She said something like ‘well, you can’t tell in situations like this, since so many people want him in jail for political reasons.’ I asked why if they were trying to take him down…

That sounds super interesting! Thanks for the recommendation.

I’ll be either in SF or Oakland

Oh my god I noticed that! Fuck those assholes. They think the world is theirs and they resent the spaces we’ve carved out for ourselves, but they’re going to have to fucking deal. As far as I’m concerned they could all use a solid nut punch.

I have never understood the rape fantasy thing and have heard it so many times! It’s so fucking obvious! The difference between a rape fantasy and rape is control!! In a fantasy you control who does what and how. If you’re raped you control none of that. How does anyone seriously not understand this?

In general people seem to be much more concerned by the idea of child abuse rather than actual child abuse. Trump groping and sexualizing his daughter in public? No problem. They’re a family. You hear Suzy from down the street’s parents screaming all the time and she never talks? That’s a personal matter, don’t get…

THANK YOU.

Email sent. Thanks for the info!

Californians make up a full 1/10 of the union. If the country didn’t like where we were headed in CA, people would stop moving here.

You can’t just make a soup out of science words and assume yourself correct.

Time is relative. It can move slower or faster depending on how fast you’re moving or if you’re in the presence of a gravitational field. In any situation it is still measured in seconds. Seconds are a unit of time. The unit of entropy is a Joule per Kelvin. You can’t measure Joules per Kelvin in seconds.

No, entropy is a measure of entropy. Time is measured in seconds. Entropy is measured in Joules/Kelvin. Time is not a measurement of entropy.

Exactly!!!

Thanks for the link. I had no idea abortion was legal prior to the 20th century! I just kind of assumed that since being anti-abortion has been so linked to religiosity, that it must have always been illegal since we were even more ‘morally pure’ in the past.

I think that the option always needs to be there. Late term abortions tend to be due to extremely complex circumstances to the point where I think any attempt at regulating what circumstances are and are not acceptable could lead to a lot of pain and misery. I think it would be fair to say that choosing to abort at 8…

That worries me because then it becomes a very different kind of problem to solve. If you’re not some preacher or something how do you convince people to give up or change their ‘sincerely held beliefs’ so we can finally live without the threat of our reproductive rights being dismantled?
