I don’t know, maybe someone who spews deliberately vicious propaganda about trans women for 40 years, and actually went to great lengths to have one who was a fellow of a women’s college lose her position deserves to be criticized?

You’re wrong. Anyone on a NY radio station who said anything like that would be fired the next day. Unlike in a shithole city like Boston.

The person two cars in front of her did stop suddenly to make a turn, and Caitlyn didn’t stop fast enough to avoid hitting the car in front of her. She wasn’t speeding or driving while distracted or impaired, but it wouldn’t surprise me if she was tailgating a little bit.

His?

Yes, I think it’s true. But certainly by the time I was a child in the 1960s, I never heard anything other than “tiger.” I didn’t learn about the original version until much later.

Good luck!

Until a few months ago, I was unemployed for a three-year period beginning when I was 58. I think my age was a worse handicap in looking for a job than my trans history. Ageism is real, and it only gets worse. (I wish I could convey more optimism, but the experience is still too raw for me.)

The supposed Roman census, as someone pointed out, never happened — there wasn’t one at that time, they didn’t measure individuals anyway, and they most certainly didn’t require people to go to their birthplace.

Paul never claims to have met Jesus, and says little or nothing about his life.

Josephus’s mentions of Jesus are blatant Christian forgeries interpolated years later.

Thanks. It’s always good to know that I’m not completely on my own here when it comes to this sort of thing.

You’re being an embarrassing fool. You don’t get a vote on whether or not I’m a woman. I’ve never had to take “no” from a woman about who I am because every woman I know accepts me as one, and that’s been true since I transitioned many years ago. The idea that I would care about the opinion on the subject of some…

I have no problem with your position, as long as you would respond the same way to someone expressing any other kind of bigotry. My concern is that many people seem far more willing to tolerate bigoted transphobic rhetoric (even if they disagree with it), than they are willing to tolerate racist, homophobic,…

I’m supposed to remember your name? I have no idea who you are. You all sound pretty much exactly alike.

How noble of you. No skin off your nose, of course, if somebody comes here and spouts stereotyped transphobic nonsense.

Tilda Swinton signed that letter too (it was a lot more than a few years ago), and everyone still worships her because she’s so cool. Natalie Portman? She’s excommunicated forever.

How about trying to meet some trans women who’ve actually been living as women for years and years. I assure you that any fantasies they may have had at the outset disappeared a long time ago. Please don’t generalize from the handful of trans women you may have met. Also: there are, unfortunately, more than a few…

Feminist Current is a truly vile transphobic cesspool.

Yes, this place is such a big mess, because people here are actually intelligent and empathetic enough to understand that trans women are women, and reject the kind of horrifyingly bigotry that passes for ordinary discourse at Feminist Current. What you call trans misogyny is nothing but trans women being who they are…

In my case, my intestines reacted badly to the surgery (or the anesthesia) for some reason — I have Crohn’s Disease — and I had a partial intestinal obstruction. Nothing to do with being trans! But way too many healthcare personnel seem to think we’re not really human, and our bodies are somehow fundamentally…
