“Baggage” for you seems to be a subjective point-of-view that you don’t agree with.

I don’t think you know what reviewing is if you think a person should be ‘objective’ when reviewing something.

Hey, Kinja moderators? There’s a lot of nasty hate speech on this topic. I’ve flagged most of it - does that actually do anything? Can we boot these transphobes back to the dark holes from whence they oozed?

Are you a medical doctor? Because my kid had to have a medical doctor prescribe them Lupron. And monitor their physical condition regularly between shots (because Lupron only lasts about three months). And continue checking in with them and with their therapist. And submit all this to an insurance company for approval…

Right, but that doesn’t happen. Schools don’t do that. Parents don’t do that. Speaking from personal experience, a diagnosis is required from a qualified mental health professional before a school will take action, and even then it can be an uphill struggle sometimes. There’s just not anybody out there saying, “Oh, my…

Nobody, but the same people spouting this line are the ones who legitimately think they’re aborting full-term babies. They’re falling for propaganda hook, line and sinker.

Except that no, parents don’t give transitioning hormones at extremely young ages. That’s a lie. Parents may ask a therapist to give them a diagnosis of gender nonconforming behavior, which they then take to a medical doctor at an age when the child is near to going through puberty, and that doctor may, if after a…

Yeah, here’s the thing: As someone who knows first-hand about this stuff, nobody is “pumping four year olds full of drugs”. Lupron is a prescription medication and it’s very expensive, meaning that by the time you actually put your kid on it (which is not at four—there’s not a doctor in the world that would prescribe…

Before the debate was over, the e-mail request for a donation - with the gift of this bumper sticker - went out (I bet everyone here got it)...

I’m a POC. And a cis LGBT man.

I do. That’s why I’m here. You, my dear, apparently belong elsewhere. Carry on.

Oh, fuck you.

What’s more likely, that a grown woman doesn’t know what removing a garter looks like? Or that her job as a blog writer requires her to inject humour into her articles? Think about it, guy.

I wonder if some it is because so many men are socialized to not express vulnerability, or silliness, or anything other than stone-cold competence/domination. Good sex is a creative process, with the participants curiously trying new things, reacting to the other’s reactions, innovating, sometimes laughing and a…

This reaction is everything we could have hoped for.

I’m enjoying reading this like it’s a circa 2005 LiveJournal blog post about a group of girlfriends going out to hate-watch The Worst Movie Night, Wine Required. So I’m torn between “why would you all do this to yourselves, I hope you got paid a bonus for risking your mental sanity” and “Can I come too, you guys seem…

THERE ARE 420 LIGHTS!!!

Tough shit. I’m tired of being Captain Save-a-Ho to the rest of the knuckle-dragging mouth-breathing country. It’s not MY job to drag you kicking and screaming into the 20th century.

So how is this not segregation? I currently go to an extremely liberal, New England university and these exclusive safe spaces are already creating enormous conflict on campus and reducing everyone’s ability to communicate effectively. People who are misguided are never confronted about their views from a position of…

How about people just stop fucking the Republicans?
