Don’t even respond. Eyerolltothemoon is a typical TERF, in bed with the right wing.  Denied service in a public accommodation?  Too bad, just go somewhere else to get your wedding cake or flowers or to fill your hormone prescription.  Just go to another lunch counter.

It’s because this woman was visibly trans, not because of her actual anatomy or former anatomy.  If she “passed,” he would never have known.  Cis women who “look masculine” also get harassed by people who think they’re trans women.

Obviously Trump never heard of Montenegro until Putin mentioned it to him.  I’m sure he still has no idea where it is.

Nothing. Except that it’s an example of extreme type-casting to have  him play a lawyer.

Lew Wasserman was from Cleveland, I think.  Did the Chicago mob run things there?

It seems pretty obvious to me from the clothing that it starts out in the 1950s and continues in the 1960s. There’s nothing ambiguous at all about that.

“Elektra learns that rich men with trans women fetishes that she used to capitalize off of don’t desire her anymore simply because of her genitalia, a devastating realization that reiterates just how much emphasis heteronormative and patriarchal society places on body parts. Elektra is the most comfortable she has…

I didn’t say they came “directly” from NE Africa. It’s not like they took an airplane or an ocean liner! Obviously it took thousands of years to get there. The point is simply that the further back one pushes the date of human habitation in Australia — now to at least 65,000 years ago — the further back one must push…

According to whom? See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncontacted_peoples. Also, even if a tribe was contacted, say, 40 years ago, and exogenous genes started flowing into that tribe immediately (a dubious proposition), as long as there’s someone alive today from that tribe who’s more than 40 years old, that person by…

Except these are all assumptions.  There’s no actual evidence that (for example) uncontacted Amazonian tribes have European ancestry.

Same point I made re isolated indigenous populations, as well as the dubious premise that there’s no such thing as a Native American (in North or South America) or indigenous Australian without European ancestry. Especially the latter, given that it hasn’t really been all that long since the European settlement of…

I don’t assume that there was only one successful migration out of Africa. I was disagreeing with that idea.

I get what you’re saying, but the idea that the most recent common ancestor of all humans lived anywhere near that recently still doesn’t account for the presence of isolated indigenous populations -- as the link you cited concedes is a flaw in the argument.

Plus, there are populations even within Europe that have been almost entirely endogamous for around 1,000 years (at least) — like Roma, and Ashkenazi Jews. So it seems rather unlikely that there would have been enough inflow of genes from outside those populations (all of it presumably from extra-marital events,…

1,000 is different from “thousands.” And I suppose it’s theoretically possible, but I doubt it was an average! Actually, you wouldn’t need to go that far that fast to get from East Africa to Australia in, say, a few thousand years. But the main point is that modern humans are now believed to have arrived in Australia…

Those kinds of estimates are utterly nonsensical, based on statistical theorizing without taking into account populations that have been completely isolated for much longer than 1000 years, and a false assumption that there are no “pure” indigenous peoples anymore. An assumption for which there is zero historical…

Which means that the most recent common ancestor of all humans lived in Africa before any of those migrations.  

Thousands of miles? With their families?  In 20-25 years? Citation, please.  I understand migrating to follow game, but not that far and fast!

Actually, I should have said that mitochondrial Eve and Y-DNA Adam are the most recent woman and man from whom all people today are descended on the direct maternal line and direct paternal line, respectively — not the most distant. Because obviously the same is true of mitochondrial Eve’s mother, maternal…

Not necessarily. Because they didn’t have to die out — all the lines of descent of all the others simply had to reach a point where there were no more daughters. They could have had sons, but sons, as I said, don’t pass on mitochondrial DNA. So their descendants didn’t die out, but their mitochondrial DNA did.…
