Wow, this is like Endframe-level stupidity.

As long as trans people’s identities aren’t brought up as an argument, feel free to have the biggest racial identity circle jerk possible.

I explicitly stated that the point isn’t about which group had it worse. It’s that gender and race are two profoundly different constructs. Apples and oranges, trains and planes, etc.

At what point can we sit back and just acknowledge that this is her experience and look at it with a bit more empathy? She’s hurting. Her family is hurting. Everyone is hurting.

Because race and sex are not the same thing. Outside of identity politics bullshit, there is a complex biological system underlying sexual differentiation, and there’s a ton of evidence to suggest that what happens with women like Caitlyn Jenner is that there is a mismatch between the sexual differentiation of their…

No, I don’t think that logic holds. Because here’s the thing — Caitlyn Jenner is not out here running around claiming to have had “the female experience” her entire life. She hasn’t made a career out of representing women. She hasn’t made up false shit to support her status as a woman.

GENDER AND RACE ARE TWO PROFOUNDLY DIFFERENT CULTURAL CONSTRUCTS.

That’s why I occasionally drive by and throw trash in the yard of the guy who works the night-shift at my corner gas station. “Fuck you, Roger! Why my gas and smokes still so spendy?”

One thing most biblical scholars agree on, and something The Passion of the Christ only included in the DVD outtakes, was the full text of Jesus’s moment of doubt upon the Cross. Translated from the original Aramaic, Jesus actually cried out “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? I’m actually a really good…

Steve Yuhas lives in an arid region. It gets intermittent rainfall, and not a whole lot; it may technically get more precipitation than a desert, but it is still too fucking dry for every goddamn idiot with a patch of land to be keeping a verdant green lawn. It has always been idiotic; the drought has just revealed…

Shittier counties? As a resident of Oakland, I invite you to go f*** yourself.

I’m happy that California water wasters are facing so much scorn, but let’s be real here, in terms of too-voracious water consumption the real problem isn’t the private residences of the rich, it’s the agricultural operations that we all support.

Yes. You live in the desert. You are surrounded by dirt. Get used to it.

Like Moses of old, thank you @rogersterlingsliver for leading this comment out of the grays.

As I’ve said before, I make up pseudonyms when people don’t specify, because most people want them but forget to ask. If you’d like me to change it to your actual name, e-mail me about it and I’d be happy to.

That’s actually good to hear. I am currently 25, so if I am going to do this it has to be kind of soon, but I was worried about going as someone who will basically outright reject most of what they tell me. I don’t want to be on some trip with 18 and 19yos who gobble it all up, but from your comment and others on this…

I WAS IN THE POOL

It was the BLURST of times?! Bah.

Yes, those monkeys and mojo, pray for mojo.
