Depends on your job. I'm a teacher. Nude pics would be a nightmare for me. They shouldn't be, but they totally would. Good think I was super paranoid as a teenager!!

Except that Black people do just as well as White people under 'low threat' conditions. The test doesn't have to have cultural biases if the way its presented does.

Is it a separate issue? Because if it becomes public policy, then it would affect schools as well. The othering issue is still an issue for adults. It's outing or othering any way you slice it if those toilets are reserved for trans* people only.

CLEARLY you champagne people weren't invited to all the cool bush parties in high school, or you'd have wicked awesome nostalgia for Smirnoff Ice (with a glow stick in it, natch).

Are you suggesting that only gender fluid/trans people use individual toilets? Wouldn't that further single them out though? I know this is an issue for trans kids in primary schools, being the only one allowed to use the PWD/teacher's toilet 'othered' them pretty fast.

And that's fine, as long as gender neutral toilets are ALSO available in addition to the stalls currently available.

I am so on board with this. Every woman, if she's honest with herself, would prefer more of this kind of washroom. How many times have you sat there with blood on your hands or something like that, where you've REALLY wished you could use a sink in private? Or all the people with shy bladders? Or trying to squeeze one

That's because IQ is a test made for and by white people to speak to white people's experiences. They're outdated, and we don't use them anymore because they're not good indicators of intelligence. You think adopted children aren't going to experience racism from society that's going to affect them? Confirmation bias

Whhyyy has Jezebel just become XoJane on 24 hours delay? Not what this used to be about!

So the key seems to be to buy a bunch of really ugly staples because any way you mix them you'll look equally terrible. Top it off with a giant orange/red coat to look like a giant tomato, and you're all set!
This is why there are jokes about American tourists, btw.

So she's not CURRENTLY a trainer, but she used to be one. She also partially works from home.
Ok then. No excuses, you microbiologist moms!

When I was in high school, I'd vomit on the way to school at 7 am, because I was so nauseous after not enough sleep. I'd almost walk into traffic to get to my bus stop. I switched schools to a later start, and my lates/missed classes dropped four-fold.

When the kid wants to pull out 'the big guns'? Kids shouldn't get to pull out "big guns", and paired with saying "listen, honey", he is obviously being disrespectful. This discussion is going NOWHERE with this kid, and he's learning to talk down to his mother. AT AGE 3.

Augh. Oh well. It was awesome, and totally worthy of being mainpaged. :(

What about recognizing systemic problems?

"Don't call me Linda, you call me mom.
You can't have a cupcake now because you didn't do what I asked you to earlier.
End of discussion. If you keep arguing with me, you can't have a cupcake tonight.
If you are good, and go do X, Y and Z, you might get a cupcake after dinner."

Can this go from a comment to an actual post? I'd love to link it but can't figure out how. The video is nothing without the analysis.

I'm not passing a judgement on it, I'm just saying that's what I was told, and she seemed believable.

Ok, but she actually DOES require people not to look at her. Her assistant was like "please don't look at or address Ms. Lopez". Unless nice Air Canada flight attendants are in the habit of lying, but she seemed pretty sincere.

Guess what I pair them with...
A LEOPARD PRINT SWEATSHIRT. With rhinestones and pearl studded shoulders!!
