I'll admit that the sheer number of times I've had to have this exact conversation in the past...monthish has made me a bit hair trigger. And I could have rephrased that first quote you put up, absolutely. But I did not attack the other commentor in any way, and I tried to keep a level head. If I failed at that,…

A few things: first "transgendered" is not generally accepted to be an ok term. Trans, transgender, trans woman, trans man seem to be the most acceptable. Transgendered turns it into a verb, and that's not appropriate.

I'm guessing his lawyers aren't letting him talk to anyone, for fear of even further fuckery.

I can't thank you enough for continuing to share your story. I know it's not your job to keep reminding us and educating us, but it's so, so important and meaningful. It's great to see this sort of thing on the MP where it belongs.

"Bitchery" has some really heavy gendered meaning though, which I think was a bit part of the problem a lot of people had. Sure he was inarticulate about what he was talking about (situation not person/behavior) but he also used misogynistic coded language to do it.

I don't hang out on the MP all that often. *shrug* Plus, you're way funnier than I am, you deserve the audience.

Part of the reason I continue to go out to the 'burbs to see my gyno is because he yelled at me for not getting the vaccine yet and kept muttering about how he'd gotten both his teen/tween sons vaccinated. Good doctors are awesome.

It's my favorite inarticulate cheering gif. When you literally have nothing else to add and just want to nod until your head falls off.

(Last one is from BBC version of Being Human, I think?)

It's like you ripped these words right out of my brain and wrote them down here. We're agreed on all counts.

I stumbled across it a few months ago and saved the link because so many people seemed to have missed it! I really do respect the hell out of the guy.

Misha Collins calls Supernatural "gratuitously misogynistic" He and Jim Beaver are the reason I watched the show, to be honest.

Because calling a man a woman is so funny.

I know it's a bit expected, but this one has always been one of my favorites, partly because I know how hard it is to get horses in harnesses to do that.

She's not the only one that feels that way.

Not corny at all! I work hard to be a good ally, so any new things I can learn from someone are an asset. Lack of knowledge isn't something to be ashamed of, but lack of willingness to learn is.

I'm on both CRT and GT on the regular and while there is some small amount of drama (any group of people will always have that) both are pretty chill from my perspective. CRT is in the middle of a spirited "battle" over what the banner should have on it (team cat, team owl, or team post...you must chose; team John…

This is my favorite gif and I never get to use it. You should come hang out with me on Groupthink! I think you'd like it. ;)
