“You know who pays attention to politics in an election year? EVERYONE. Fucking every last grown person knows what the hell is going on. My neighbor isn’t like, “Donald Trump? Nope. Never heard of him. I’m afraid I’ve been sticking to sports this whole time.”

*hugs for you*

Let me begin by saying that you sound like a pretty amazing person!

There is absolutely no one cited in the article who sounded like a victim to me. These are women who have made a conscious decision to monetize their bodies and their time. That’s their right. There is a reason that prostitution has been going on since the dawn of time. Worry about yourself.

Hmm. Anything you want to tell yourself to help you sleep at night...Masshole. Lol.

ok- what? smh. Let me guess- New Yorkers or San Franciscans came up with this. (Artisnal toast was a thing in SF for a while. Jesus Christ.)

oh boy. Except. smh.

“...nestled between religious Iowa’s caucus and also-religious South Carolina’s primary,..”

First of all, RIP to fellow Hawkeye Tyler Sash. I had friends who knew him, and said he was a stand-up guy.

Ok, well, I guess it’s a good thing that we’re not friends. I certainly don’t “baby” my friends, but I still do ask them to text me when they get home, (I live in Chicago now) and they do the same for me. And I’m 40. Happily, I might add. Because: friends care about each other where I’m from.

Yeah. Because: friends. Duh. (I am also from Iowa. Maybe we’re just better friends there.)

You’ve asked this question multiple times and recieved the same answer. TROLL.

Sorry, at what point did I say I was “impressed” with anything? Look- you were saying (without basis, by the way) that Tucker’s stories were untrue. I was simply informing you that I have personal, first-hand knowledge that at least one of them IS true. That’s it, ok? No need to get defensive.

I didn’t get past “Walmart”. Been boycotting them for years.

Ok......and.....what’s your point? I mean, what does that change? You’re talking about generalities of gender and crime. I was speaking about this one specific person and situation. She is still doing time. She is still being punished. I was simply saying that he should be able to be punished as a “she”, and I don’t…

Yep, at Duke. Tucker and I are about the same age, (I was 28-31 in 2003-6) so these were his post-law school party years in Chicago before he moved to LA, did the movie, and now I guess he’s in Austin, TX. I’m still close with some of his old friends from here.

See my post. May still be in the greys, just wrote it. Some of those stories of Tucker’s ARE true.

So, I ran into Tucker more than a few times, as some of my friends (one of whom went to Duke, where she met him) ran in the same circles as he and his friends when he lived here in Chicago; this was around...2003-2006ish. I was never impressed by him. I mean, if he hadn’t written a few funny books, he would have been…

No, see, I understand what you’re saying- that this person doesn’t deserve to be recognized as a woman- but I just don’t agree. She should be placed in appropriate housing and live the rest of her life in prison. She has rights as a human being and as a prisoner. I don’t see where denying her gender identity is…

See, there is where I disagree with you. Women can be monsters, too. The gender identity of Synthia/Luis is irrelevant to the fact that I think she should rot in prison.
