Not to mention the fact that SRS (or genital plastic surgery, which is a term I'm hearing more frequently from medical professionals) is really ineffective for trans men. This doesn't affect Meggan, but the idea of requiring surgery that effectively kills sexual functioning for half the trans population as a tradeoff…

Two last pieces of information for you before I remove myself from this conversation, because it's clear you're using your arguments as a way to hide the fact that you simply lack empathy for others. First, Hobby Lobby specifically sued about 4 methods of birth control, but the SCOTUS ruling covered all 20, not just…

I'm not trying to sensationalize anything. I'm merely trying to point out that simply by virtue of being a woman, I may now have $17,000 less over the course of my lifetime to, as other posters have noted, pay back my student loans with, pay my rent with, or donate to charitable causes. Do you really want your…

Over the course of my lifetime, birth control pills (which I take both to protect against pregnancy on the rare occasions I have sex with men but mostly to help keep my migraines under control so that I can actually show up to work regularly and be a productive employee) are going to cost me about $17,000 out of…

This Hispanic woman has trying to go to the movies for several months, but there's nothing playing that I want to see. (My mother, on the other hand, eats up Tyler Perry movies with a spoon. Why, Mom? Whyyyyyy?)

Oh, man. Some days I do this at work because, whatever, it's 3:00 pm and I can't deal with my hair anymore. Inevitably, someone says, "Your hair looks so nice! How'd you get that fancy updo?" Um, this is what curly hair looks like in a ponytail, but go ahead, tell me more about how fabulous it looks!

I've always thought mine looked like unrolled condoms.

People really can be fantastic, no?

"I'm not the boss of Jezebel."

Not that anyone needs to justify themselves to you (and frankly, I'm confused as to what your attitude is all about), but I didn't even comment on the original post and I just donated.

Plus, a shared insurance pool means that women are also paying for prostate exams and testicular cancer treatments and other things they'll never need. That's how insurance works.

I've come across a case or two where this has been done and has not stood up in court, though I don't recall names and can't provide links off the top of my head.

That argument baffles me, too. For one, if my mom had wanted an abortion instead of a child, I would have wanted her to have one. For two, if she'd had an abortion, I wouldn't exist and therefore wouldn't be able to have an opinion. That argument holds no water at all and seems only to represent the general lack of…

I love their covers. So much awesomeness!

C'mon, Rigs, at least hold out for some beer!

Yup. O negative, CMV negative, perfect for newborns and vampires with discriminating palates. (CMV is a flu-like illness that most adults are exposed to at some point and isn't harmful to them, but can be serious for low birth weight babies.)

I think your eligibility to donate as a woman who's had sex with MSM (WSMSM?) may depend on how you answer other questions and/or may also depend on the organization collecting blood. I read a great answer to this question once on another Gawker-related blood but can't recall it precisely. Hopefully someone will come…

As someone who's short all over but has a super short torso, I hope low rise jeans stick around for a long time. Super ultra low rise jeans actually hit on my waist, whereas regular rise jeans pretty much come up to my armpits. I regularly wear pants to work with the waist rolled over and hope my shirt doesn't ride up…

I really wish there were more Alamo Drafthouse-like theaters out there. If I could be virtually guaranteed a decent moviegoing experience, I'd actually go to the movies.

Ooh, yes. And someone probably wears flannel and/or has sketchy facial hair. I can see that.
