She was being ridiculous. What you're doing sounds normal, reasonable, and considerate....

Have you ever had to pay for health insurance or medical bills out of pocket before?

It's not comfortable, but many adults live on that or less. It sucks, but if you're single you get a roommate, if you have a partner you move in together and split the rent.

It doesn't effect me, but my state passed a law a couple years ago mandating sick time for all PT and FT employees. It makes sense, no one should have to come in sick and infect more people...

I don't eat pizza with a fork and knife, so, no thank you. What's the point if you have to turn it back into regular pizza in order to take a bite?

Fuck off. I was incredibly polite about it, I didn't "go all pronoun justice warrior." No need for you to get involved. Learn to read a thread—we already discussed it.

Yup, all about the women.... "Men reported having an orgasm during sex with a familiar partner 22.2 percent more often than women, the study found." Wonder how that happened...

Gotcha, sorry! The way posts show up makes it hard to follow conversations..

How do rape apologists have posting privileges? God. I don't care what you did, rape is not a suitable punishment. I'm disgusted that anyone thinks it is okay to rape someone because they broke a law. Inmates are still people.

Was this before PREA, because that is a major violation...

It sounded more like, why should she get special treatment....

She identifies as a woman, just a heads up, you should refer to trans people with their preferred pronouns.

Really, I was fully expecting a, "what about the menz!" post. I don't get people. If you care about prison rape with men, write a post about it, I would love to read it. But when it is about a trans woman being raped in a men's prison, it is time to talk about trans issues, not men's issues.... Why is this so hard?

My doctor has made recommendations that were unsolicited. I think prison doctors need to be extra cautious about that, however, as the women in prison are not as empowered as I am. I feel like I can say no to anyone. Inmates are more likely to feel powerless and like they have to please someone in authority over…

I agree that the majority of those who work in prisons are sick, but regarding being unable to get another job, as a social worker, if I chose to work in the prisons of my state, I would start at 60-80,000 a year. That is much higher than most social work positions. So they are well paid and many seek it out because…

Wow, they completely ignored PREA regulations.....every single report of rape must be documented and investigated and the victim is supposed to be separated. I hope she sues...

Oh wow, love this article. As a bi/pansexual woman, I am always assumed to be straight because I am in a relationship with a man. I have had relationships with men and women, but since I have been in a long term relationship with a man for years now, everyone "forgets" I'm bi. Also, at work, other parts of my life,…

Sadly, part of it is that bisexuals are viewed as being promiscuous (can't satisfy someone who is attracted to both genders) and that they are going to eventually want to bring a man home to their family/benefit from straight privilege. It makes me sad, and this dating reality plays a role in why I've had more male…

To top it off, a french braid is pulling the hair over, rather than under (or is it the other way around, I can DO them, not describe them.)

It closed anyway, they sucked!
