Yet you still like Hootie and the Blowfish, which is so wrong. ; )

And you are looking for real scientists on....jezebel?

ZZoooooooooooommmmmm! (Did you see that? That was the bullet you dodged. It was a life destroyer.)

A lecherous man grabbed your ass and then you felt threatened by him because you are transgender? An angry man also = dead ciswoman.
