Well fortunately, it's not about you, or your ignorance. And god help your daughter if she ever experiences these feelings, because you're apparently incapable of rational thought or compassion.

I can't speak for all trans women, but I will speak for myself (and I hope some of the trans women regular readers will do so as well, in a respectful and understanding manner). Your concerns should be addressed, and I hope I can do so.
I do not know if you would like to post this in your article but this is great charity that helps Irish women travel to England for a safe and legal abortion.
I would chip in some cash to make this a reality.
What continues to confound me is the continued hold the Catholic Church has over the government. Still, now in 2014. And after all the recent revelations of sex abuse etc.
The worst part is that, according to the irish press, she was the victim of a particularly violent rape.
"Sorry you were brutalized within a inch of your life and your swelling belly is a daily reminder of what you went through but we're going to double down on that by force- feeding you and performing major surgery…
Before you think this can't get any worse, the woman is question was allegedly pregnant as a result of being raped. So she was raped, forced to remain pregnant, and then forced to have a c-section and then had the child taken away. What in the damn hell is going on in Ireland?!
Anything after 30 weeks is statistically in your favour. 25 weeks is pushing it, but if they were also forcing the mother to take steroids (a likely scenario since they knew the c-section was coming), then there's a fighting chance the lungs would be developed enough and maybe it's even possible that the baby won't…
A woman who went on a hunger strike after being denied an abortion at eight weeks has been forced by the Irish government to unwillingly undergo a C-section at just 25 weeks' gestation. And then her baby was taken away from her.
They can, but it's touch and go and a billion complications could arise. I assume the forced steroid shots into her as well to increase survival odds.
I'm Irish. It's horrific to have these stories coming from your country. Even more horrific is the confirmed fact that the woman's baby was conceived through rape. How unbearable. There are so many of us in Ireland who believe in and march for pro-choice rights. We exist and we continue to fight!
Really sick of this . And it doesn't matter what the facts of the case are because the church and the anti-choice lobby will twist it. After the Savita case, priests in Ireland told their congregations that an abortion couldn't have saved Savita's life and wouldn't have made a difference. Then some priests tried to…
I don't know what to say. Imagine her torture during those weeks, and after. If she commits suicide, it's all on their hands. The medical staff involved in this are as evil as the pathetic cult they belong to. Anyone with a conscience would have resigned from their jobs before torturing the woman in this way.
Once upon a time, I had a friend of a friend's brother who robbed his own place of employment. (Was leaving the state anyways and needed weed moneys!) If I recall correctly, he'd been fired recently and, i guess, figured that no one would recognize him... However, while robbing the fast food restaurant, he realized…
As much as that's a hassle for the dispatchers, that's completely adorable. I'm sure they told the story to everyone on their shift :)
"Sinless being? Impossible! ALL women are hussies!"
I probably sound judgemental here but here it goes: I can never imagine waiting for marriage for anything, it just seems a recipe for disaster, I mean what if you just don't connect or anything.
Can you imagine not even being ALONE with your partner until your wedding day? I mean, that's how they do "courting." What if you found out they were putting on a show the whole time and were just the worst to be around.
Tell me about it. You don't buy a car without a test drive.
Can you imagine waiting until your wedding day just to kiss your partner, let alone do anything else? Like, what if it's TERRIBLE?! I was pissed when I made out with a dude at the end of a date recently, who turned out to be a terrible kisser, and I'd only invested three hours in that shit.
