Unless they’re outside the U.S.A. when signing, which she clearly wasn’t. (See the recent amendment to CPLR 2106(b).)

It’s really quite strange, because although CPLR 2106 was recently amended to permit declarations/affirmations under penalty of perjury to be submitted in lieu of sworn affidavits not only by attorneys, physicians, osteopaths(!), and dentists (as used to be the case) but by non-attorneys as well, that applies only…

Well, obviously some trans women like it — particularly, it seems, some younger trans women such as the author of this article on Autostraddle, who spent a day on the set talking with all the trans people who work on the show:

Transparent is a show about trans people that cis people love. Almost every trans woman I know of who’s actually watched it dislikes it.

You didn’t figure that out already?

First cousin marriages were common in Europe in the 19th century, and not only among royal families. In one part of my (Jewish) family, there were about six or seven of them (a few were “double first cousin” marriages) in
just three or four generations — so many that one cousin of my grandfather’s had only six…

Thank you. There are contemporary diaries by people who went to see his plays, and no shortage of other contemporary references. Nobody alive back then had the slightest doubt that he wrote his plays. Bill Bryson’s short book deals with the issue quite well.

As I’ve written before, one of the first questions my then-14 year old son had for me back in 2004, when I told him about my plans to transition the following year, was “is it OK if I still call you Dad?” And I said, of course it is. It was the least I could do to provide him a little bit of continuity, and reassure…

I don’t think there’s ever been a Republican in my family at any time since my father’s grandparents immigrated from Eastern Europe to live in a Lower East Side Tenement in July 1888. My father (who died last year at 94, and voted for the Democrat in 18 straight Presidential elections) was 85 when I transitioned a…

I don’t know, but I’ll ask him if he remembers. For all I know, it was actually one of the pigeons that used to sit all day on the air conditioning units outside our windows!

Wasn’t she the one who first found him after that awful car accident?

And what’s your source for suggesting she assaulted him? You made it up, didn’t you? And please provide a specific case evidencing your general claim that trans sex workers might rape their customers. I think you made that up, too.

Well, I think my post went right over your head. “Advertising as a woman” is not false advertising. It’s 2015. Trans women are women. If their having a “pussy” is a requirement — or a material fact — for someone hiring them as a female sex worker, that should be made clear in advance. And in any event, from what I’ve…

OK, I get it. You’re a transphobe AND an MRA. Fuck you, troll. And he didn’t claim she “raped” or assaulted him; it’s entirely in your pornographic imagination.

How many sex workers rape their customers, that you’ve ever heard of? Never mind when the sex worker is a Filipina trans woman and the customer is a Marine!

I don’t think any such assumption is justifiable, and think it’s infinitely more likely that if there was no discussion it was because either the guy knew damn well she was transgender and had her original anatomy, or she rightfully assumed he knew. Because he was at a club known for transgender sex workers, and the…

You mean, ask for his money back? Or get damages for the injury to his sad, fragile masculinity?

Why do you assume this woman lied.

A trans woman saying she’s a woman is not being deceptive, and is not a “she (he).” I pity any trans woman whom you represent. Please don’t do it again; you’re not fit.

Then it’s up to you to let people know ahead of time what information you consider basic to disclose.
