I remember that case!

The “learn one thing really well and you’ll understand complexity” theory sure didn’t work for Ben Carson.

The “an eye for an eye” concept also reflects an early application of proportionate justice: you don’t take someone’s eye (or execute them) for crossing against the light, or whatever the equivalent was back then. Or hang someone, like in England a few hundred years ago, for stealing an apple. The idea of “an eye for…

This is why I just don’t get the people who advocate for complete “prison abolition.” Because, what, when the revolution comes there won’t be any bad people anymore?

But don’t you know that every man is entitled as a birthright to date fashion models?

I don’t even speak to strangers who talk to me. I’m afraid (perhaps irrationally) that they’ll somehow figure out I’m trans — not that people generally do, but you never know — and assault me or worse.

That’s my hope, for future generations of trans women.

Like many trans women, I dearly wish I could have experienced pregnancy. It doesn’t mean I love my son any less just because I didn’t give birth to him myself. Anyone who know anything at all about me knows what he means to me.

No, no, you forgot. Anger doesn’t count as an emotion.

How do you know it’s a she? Even assuming it was sexual assault.

Didn’t his Princeton roommate say that he had terrible, terrible, body odor?

And that no two trans women can be friends without wanting to have sex with each other. (Because they’re all basically sex-crazed fetishists.) By the way, Candis Cayne has been quoted more than once as saying she likes guys. Caitlyn isn’t a guy.

You mean like explaining how both Christianity and Islam both appropriated — stole, really — the Hebrew Bible, ridiculously misreading it along the way?

Maybe the writer is confused because he didn’t realize that Lower Egypt is north of Upper Egypt.

Black men got the right to vote before women? I hear people say that all the time. But the never mention how it basically took 100 years between the time they got the theoretical right and the right became real and enforceable in a large part of the country. (Not to mention the ongoing efforts to suppress the black…

It’s too late for me, but I very much hope for future generations of trans women that some of these things come true.

Good. In the future, if you don’t want to elicit similar reactions, please don’t raise such questions in a thread that’s specifically about a trans woman, especially if you insist on limiting the discussion to the narrow issues in which you claim an interest, and especially if you’re going to base your questions on…

You still can’t get it through your head that you come across as wanting to have a theoretical, academic discussion about “definitions” that amounts, in effect, to a debate about whether trans women should be included in the category of women — an inclusion that doesn’t affect your life in any way. There’s no other…

Really? Are you serious? Does she get a million votes? Prove to me that her one vote changes the outcome of any election or persuades anyone else to vote Republican, and I might believe you. Otherwise, I think you’re certifiably deranged. And I suspect you aren’t even trans, either. If you aren’t, fuck off.

Um . . . . You may not think that’s been the tone, but you’re not necessarily the best judge of how you come across. For example, of course breasts grew on your body because your body produced the hormones inducing them. Mine grew from hormones as well, administered exogenously. But in drawing a hard line between us,…
