Good. As a parent, I do not find it appropriate if a young woman(my daughter for example) whatever her gender identity, to use the bathroom with young men who are going through their natural hormonal changes.

...but she couldn’t read or tell time. That was the problem.

I agree that her only getting 2 hours a month to see her baby is bullshit, though I’m inclined to believe there is a lot more to the story than we know especially if her own parents were sketchy and in the system themselves.

Sigh. I have a learning-disabled parent with a below-average IQ. Not 70, but not great. I have a lot of feelings about this article but I’ll sum it up with, “I think intellectually disabled people can be great parents, but they are also not always ideal parents and their children will face many, many hurdles that go…

DCF workers don’t have any right to refusal and have to take all cases which does result in overburdening. I wish people who get angry at situations like these would think that part of the problem is a resource and training issue and maybe go beyond anger and think about how the system needs to change.

I feel for her and while I’m glad she got her daughter back, the state and the hospital were doing their job, which was to protect the child. I’m a pediatrician and see many parents who, to be completely honest, shouldn’t be taking care of their children without help. I’m not saying everyone with some developmental…

what about those sex workers who signed this letter?

To be fair, 400 individuals and organizations are protesting this proposal, not just celebrities.

The problem with that particular point of view is that the sex workers who can speak up, who work in the industry voluntarily, are in a position of privilege above the unheard and unwilling. Because of that, it’s very difficult to know what opinions are representative of the industry as a whole.

What is this nonsense? Combating the abuse that coincides with coerced sex work while simultaneously providing protection for voluntary sex work is a complex problem with more than one reasonable solution. Why in the world should we disdain celebrities for joining the debate? This is shameful.

That tone is definitely going to encourage people to listen to you!

That’s exactly what it means.

Which is why nobody is saying that. Read the petition. It is pro decriminalization and has been written and signed by hundreds of former sex workers, doctors and human rights authorities. This article, for reasons that are unclear, is lying.

Perhaps you should have actually read the text, which blatantly states the following:

The Nordic model has it’s devotees and detractors, and I would welcome a discussion of both perspectives. That does not change that this article is factually WRONG.

Read the actual petition. It’s not just celebrities. It is authorities on the sex trade, human rights experts, doctors and sex workers themselves who have devised this petition and signed it. It is a blatantly pro decriminalization petition too, despite what this article says. What it is opposing is the…

“[We are] deeply troubled by Amnesty’s proposal to adopt a policy that calls for the decriminalization of pimps, brothel owners and buyers of sex — the pillars of a $99 billion global sex industry.”

Yeahhhhhh that’s misogynistic af. I think the director is getting too much slack because it’s not brazenly transphobic, but that entire premise is enough to make even the most open minded feminist feel a little TERFy. About the movie, that is.

But if he says he has a lady brain like Bruce Jenner all will be good right?

It doesn’t seem like it’s without misogyny. They stalk and assault the other woman who her boyfriend is two-timing with, not her boyfriend? (Doing that isn’t even revenge...)
