I’ll have to take your word for it.

I swear to god, I do not understand how our sentencing system is structured sometimes.

Right? Also makes you wonder how many years he did for sexually abusing a child?

Crack dealers for twenty, because reasons.

Up to five years?

I think there have been a bunch of studies lately, including some fMRI ones, that show that their brains are, indeed, different. I wish I could remember some references....

Except that gender dysphoria is defined not as the aspect of being transgender, but rather the friction caused by having to live in a world where your outside doesn’t match your inside. In theory, a person who has transitioned mostly won’t experience gender dysphoria.

I don’t understand the conservative mind. I think it must be fundamentally different than mine on a structural level.

Getting Harrison Ford to not seem totally curmudgeonly in an interview is a rare talent. I’ll definitely be seeking out Alison hammond from now on!

Her laugh is giving me what I need to get through this day.

that is why i got surgery, and some other stuff. turning 40, esp after cancer, I feel like a broken-down car no one would want except for parts, so I’m re-inventing. i spent my whole sickness alone, because i’m single and i dont’ have kids. so i feel this lady, and i hope both of us feel human again soon..

I don’t live far from her home in RI. I have never heard anything but good things from the locals there. Even during her 4th of July parties which, from what I heard she didn’t have this year so her mom, who had been sick, could have come quiet time at her home, even when all those people would show up, they would be…

If you look at TS’s actual history with feminism, she wasn’t really using it as a brand. What happened: she believed in equal rights for women when she was young, but was not calling herself a feminist (and she seemed afraid to even use that word, like a lot of women at the time). She was one of those young, naive, “I…

I hope she feels better too. In a weird way at least it’s a woman who isn’t 18 who she’s aspiring to look like.... It just sucks it’s a woman who is complicit in the demise of our country.

I was going to say that of COURSE it was someone from my home state... But then I saw this and it only made me sad.

is one of the saddest things I’ve ever read. It’s so hard to not take rejection as a core failure and just move on.

I’m a fan, but IMO atypical. As a father of two teenage fans, my first exposure to her was as a writer (Love Story), For which I think she is simply outstanding. Add to it that she was/is a kid, and I was “wow”. Not a super fan of her voice (she’s no Whitney Houston), but as she’s become a super-celebrity haters will…

You can sit with me.

I used to live in her hometown, and knew people that interacted with her, served her, and never heard anything bad about her. Ever. The worst I ever heard was she was awkward and kinda snobby (the area she lived in was VERY snobby, so it’s to be expected)

I know it’s not a popular sentiment, but maybe TS is not a total fake, shifty, friend using, boyfriend exploiting, Kanye bully? Just a thought.
