A good rule of thumb is to follow what the person says - my trans child uses the words “prefer” and “preference” when telling people what pronouns are correct, and is okay with me telling people “Kai prefers he/him/his pronouns”. If the person in question does not use those specific words or if you’re not sure, best…

They do this a lot, I follow them on instagram. Their word of the day is almost always a jab at Trump

“Public schools are a place for all children,” Hodgman said on Tuesday.

How else do you think these people sleep at night?

Have you met trump voters?

You know that if a big pharmaceutical company can dunk on you, you really screwed up.

True fact, ambien can make you do and say weird strange things.

So you’re saying that when he said “too bad”, he meant....

It’s clearly a different kind of fabric. Someone just wants to start some shit.

I’ve made some progress with my husband. A few years ago I had an issue with an office co-worker, I was debating going to HR about it and my husband basically said, “HR won’t do anything and it’ll be worse for you if you say something.” And while he may have had a point, it really hurt how he kind of blew off my…

“they all, ALL are this way?”

Bateman’s conflict avoidant mansplaining apologia is unfortunately super familiar to me. So is his humble heartfelt apology. And so is the part when a week, a month, a year from now he says or does some other shit that makes it perfectly clear he didn’t learn nearly as much from this as he’ll give himself credit for.

“I was so busy maintaining the status quo that I forgot to remember that women matter.”

People can bitch about not “resorting to violence” but part of making the world a nicer place for marginalized people is shutting up racists and other assholes. Punching Richard Spencer in the face, tossing drinks at Tomi Lahren, these aren’t just things that give me a warm fuzzy, they’re laudable actions that…

Completely agree - I could not be more sickened by the coverage of the father’s words, and the many, many headlines that imply that the girl(s) brought it on themselves.

The reason most parents fail to do all that is because they don’t think about it, don’t want to really commit to it, or don’t realize how important it is. If you’re terrified of failing in this particular way, that’s because you’re serious about succeeding in this particular way, and half the battle is getting to that…

The fact that you care enough to be scared is a good start, though. It’s the parents who dismiss the severity of issues like these that frighten me the most.

I don’t know if there is a “right” way for parents to behave and speak out after something like this but this feels gross to me. Apologize for what your child did and then shut up. I’m sure it’s hard to process something like this but it’s just not the same thing as having your child murdered in cold blood, ESPECIALLY…

That was amazing.

Should’ve said, “Only if you give me the hat,” and then wiped his ass with the hat and thrown it in the garbage. He’d have been fined at least $50k for doing it on national TV, but that shit’s worth every penny.
