I’m of two minds about this.

on one hand, I’m extremely aware of the simple fact that non-male identifying queers oftentimes have few, if any, places that are designated for them. hell — lesbians barely have any bars themselves, let alone non-binary folks... gay bars — taken to mean *male* gay bars — are frequently…

The hand wringing. God i’m so sick of it.

“But what if they commit crimes?”

Funny how quickly these people pivot from “Gender is a construct!” to “Why can’t we codify gender even more?” when trans folks get involved. Also, when someone makes being “gender critical” (or whatever TERFs want to be called today) a central part of their media presence, it’s somewhat tiresome to hear them complain…

“I don’t believe you can be a man born in a woman’s body or a woman born in a man’s body. What I believe is that there are some people who feel alienation towards their bodies,” Lewis stated, before raising concerns about trans children who want to transition.

I don’t know how to explain to people that I’m not an issue: I’m a person. The Atlantic goes out of their way to play this edgelord both-sides game, and I’m more than done with it. I have to fight court battles over bathrooms; do you think I really want to read what some uninformed, empathy-bankrupt hack thinks of my…

I’d assume that he’s a fan of Buckethead.

I’m really enjoying this feature as it’s reminded me of everything from the earlier seasons so I didn’t have to spend 70 hours rewatching it. 

I sincerely don’t remember the relevant details of how the show may have shaded some things differently than the books so I’m coming from a book perspective here, but ... I think it’s a mistake to assume Shae functionally had a choice about this stuff. Saying no to either Cersei or Tywin is asking for torture if not…

You sure typed some words.

Being from the South, he’s probably more into Trap. 

I’m glad you’re doing better now. Benzos can have solid therapeutic uses but they can be really rough.

I don’t think it qualifies as “worst” (or bad at all) if it was vigilante justice carried out by a mysterious wielder of bleach and nails.

Oooo I was a truly horrid little guttersnipe. The time when I was 5 and I sneaked outside just before a big ladies luncheon only to sit at the table later picking ticks out of my hair and putting them on my salad plate. The time I was 7 and they drove up to the house with my Dad’s boss to see me peeing in the front…

I was once addicted to Rx drugs and this is ALMOST the worst thing I did during that time. I had decided I was sick of myself so went cold turkey off benzos. I then took my 14 yr-old niece on a trip to the zoo because I was trying to be a decent person again. I woke up in an ambulance after a seizure with my poor…

I realize you already know this but it wasn't your fault. You were a child, telling was the right thing to do. The system let you all down. I hope you've forgiven yourself.

In high school, I was in a lot of plays, and worked backstage for all the ones I didn’t get a role in. My mother, bless her, was very supportive of her little theater nerd, and did her best to seem very interested in the many, many amateur productions I part of.

I grew up in a two family house. A young couple lived on the first floor and mine lived on the second. One day the wife came up to have coffee with my mother. I told the wife that my mom laid on the floor to hear the couple’s fights better.

“black panties are for your period”

Bitch had five kids and a scary amount of plastic surgery to attempt to keep her shit husband and got relatively little money after her World’s Richest Dad died. Nor can she seem to manage the money she’s had. I don’t blame her for shilling anything that anyone will offer her. I don’t think she was ever taught or ever…

I’m sure these “concerned commenters” are JUST as vocal about the fact that Flint still doesn’t have clean water. Or that the government continues to separate children from their parents and hold them in detention camps.
