Never, ever. It’s a bullshit scare story cynically designed to whip up hysteria and bigotry against trans people.

Extrapolated or exaggerated?

No, because it’s a myth and a lie that non-trans men will claim they’re women in order to be admitted to a woman’s shelter, woman’s bathroom, or other women’s space — and it’s even more of a lie that they’ll make that claim without even bothering to present as women. It’s all bullshit. Despite all the years (decades…

I’d love to know how they think they know automatically just from looking at everyone they see — wearing clothing — what genitals they have.

Plus, it’s a phony argument anyway. They’d still want to exclude trans people whose genitals are the same as cis people of the same gender.

That’s for chronic pain. Not for post-surgical pain. (Oral surgery = surgery.) There’s a difference.

But why is it OK, dude, if you’d rather not be in pain? Do you think pain is good for you? We should all tough it out? Don’t forget that only a tiny, tiny percentage of people who are prescribed opioids (2%?) develop a problem. Should the 98% suffer because of the risks to the 2%? I’ve been given morphine, demerol,…

Have you ever had 2 or 3 impacted wisdom teeth removed at the same time? At least for a while, it can be every bit as painful afterwards as major abdominal surgery.

So, guilt by relationship?

It’s a different Kushner. Brothers do have political differences, you know, and this one has always been a Democrat.

I don’t think anyone does. It simply irritates me when cis people lecture trans people. About just about anything. Especially cis people who’ve never demonstrated the slightest interest in or knowledge of trans issues.

That’s a real stretch, I think. Nobody voted for Trump because Caitlyn Jenner said it was OK!

Do you really think for a minute that anyone voted for Trump because Caitlyn Jenner supported him? Come on.

On the other hand, it’s not up to Kathy Griffin to decide how many chances she gets.

Small correction: two were hit; one died. Not counting the murder of Yankel Rosenbaum, of course.

It’s not the least bit ambiguous. “Someone I respected gave it to me, and said, ‘I signed this. Will you, too?’ And I was like, ‘Sure.’ It was a mistake. . . . My eyes were not open.” Quote, unquote.

This is false. People were being called out for it from the very beginning. Especially Natalie Portman, for whatever reason.

Not to me. YMMV, obviously.

OK.

I’m sure you give plenty, what with your being a flaming asshole.

You still don’t get it. “He’s so flamboyant! Maybe he’ll transition! Maybe he’ll be a drag queen!” I don’t care who your friends are; you shouldn’t lump all those things together as if they’re all basically the same thing, like flipping a coin. Let me put it this way: I am a trans woman. My son is a rather…
