Wait, who's a rape apologist? What'd I miss? Fill me in please

The freckles on my face are actually really subtle and hard to notice, which sorta bums me out. I do have two perfectly symmetrical freckles right on the peaks of my top lip. Which is weird. I wonder if the app would object to those too? They're so dark you can usually even see them through my lipstick.

Whaaaa? The app doesn't allow freckles? What blasphemy is this? You can take my freckles from my cold, dead hands.... or something.

Ya know, I sort of wish they'd stuck to their guns on the filing so the court would have no choice buy to rule in a well publicized case that trans people ARE protected. I mean, I know there's already precedent for that, but it'd be nice to see it very publicly reinforced.

They're saying that because they have to. They're being bullied to present a united front, but if they would have voted yes on it all along then why did the argue against debating it and bringing it to vote? Even if they aren't being bullied, they're only saying this now to save face - they fight against the bill to…

This is something I've always appreciated about him; pointed it out to my mom and dad years ago - they hadn't noticed. It's such a small, subtle thing but so affirming. I wonder if he does it intentionally.

Right to choose is so easily folded into other policies - women having control over their reproductive choices is a very reliable positive indicator of strong economies.

Ooo! What did Russel Brand say?

Did you never have intense crushes at that age? I sure as hell did. I never said or did anything about it, but there was a boy in my class I positively swooned over. Drew hearts around him in our class picture. And my twin sister's best friend, the same year, gave her a note asking her to be his girlfriend... she tore…

Female is a descriptor, not a noun. If you mean women, say women.

Absolutely! Remove it and wear them clean or repolish them... but there is no reason for chipped nails when remover costs like $2 and it takes 5 minutes.

You do you, dude. I dig it.

My queer twin started the LGBT resource center at their college. So it wasn't a specifically LGBT school, but the resource center has really had a lasting impact and is very very utilized not just by LGBT students but also by straight allies. I think that kind of thing is ultimately a better course to take - ensure…

I didn't say it's as cruel. It doesn't matter if it's as cruel. What matters is that cis-women also deserve and need a space to talk about specifically cis-women things, or talk about general things in specifically cis-women ways. Really I'm disagreeing with 'can't blame them for being frustrated.' I wouldn't say…

Thanks so much for this. This is something that has always troubles me vis-à-vis the relationship between trans women and cis women. I do my best to be an ally, including acknowledging when I'm wrong and have fucked up and adjusting my behavior and views accordingly, but there are some things that I just have trouble…

And most cis-women deal with tons of societal bullshit with surprising grace also as it relates to genitalia (euphemisms for our genitalia being used as insults, information about our bodies and especially our genitalia being considered vulgar). It's important for cis-women to be able to talk openly about these…

My guess is "halfway around the world" is an issue because of the expense of getting there.... international flights aren't cheap...

My brother is getting married in November and his fiancée asked my twin and I to be bridesmaids. We said yes, because we do really like her and we're honored that they want us to be part of the wedding but both of us would rather stand up with my brother. I don't think they considered that as an option, though.…

These were my thoughts too. Read that comment on the original article and it made me very sad for the friend and really dislike the bride.

Yeah, I have two older half brothers who I haven't seen since I was about 6 years old. This creeps me right the fuck out.
