As a rule I don’t think it matters how someone Jewish was raised, but in her case I prefer to think that the fact that she was raised as a Mormon means she doesn’t count as one of us!

Congratulations!

Sexual abuse of students happens plenty at private day schools, too.  Look at Horace Mann.  I went there; I should know.

All I know is that he was convicted on multiple bank fraud and tax fraud charges, all of which are felonies.

Exactly. I’ve never heard of a SWERF who wasn’t also a TERF.

To label it as “selling herself” is adopting the rhetoric of those who believe that sex work is always inherently oppressive, uniquely so out of all kinds of work, and should never be decriminalized.  How about calling it selling (or renting out) her services?

I was 10 years old in sleep-away camp, and was dumb enough to volunteer, as the smallest kid in the bunk, to let one of the counselors swing me around and around in the air inside the cabin, holding me not by the hands but by the ankles. After 4 or 5 rotations, the counselor let go — just like an Olympic hammer throw,

It’s a very common sentiment among trans women, and I share it. But you do what you can.

Jan Morris? I feel the same way about her. I remember seeing her as a child, on the Dick Cavett show in the 1970s. It was that interview that made me realize that there was such a thing as a trans woman who liked women — although the loud laughter from the audience at that concept upset me for years and made me even

In order for her to be correct that she was “XX” and not “really” transsexual but intersex, her children could not have been hers — which of course is what she claimed. I wonder how her wife felt about that, and if she confirmed it. I can’t help being skeptical; there have been plenty of trans women who’ve falsely

Utter nonsense, and a lie. The higher suicide rates shown in the Swedish study are exclusively applicable to those transitioning before 1989.

Back then, transgender people were told that the only way to transition was to forget that your family ever existed, and cut off contact with them, both to avoid being “outed” and to spare them the shame of having a transgender relative.  A horrifyingly noxious practice that fortunately ended a long time ago.

Ask the trans women in Pose what they think of Ryan Murphy. Oh, right, you don’t have to — just read any one of the many interviews they’ve given about trans issues.

IVAN Doe?  Nice.

If you really think I was trolling rather than 1969 Dodge Charger Guy — given that I was simply responding to his pathetic transphobia — then I suggest that you and he just crawl back in your sewer together. But if your responded to the wrong comment, please be more careful next time.  Someone might get an inaccurate

Among the people I’ve told that I’m trans, I would say that quite a few assert that they’ve never met another trans person before me.

Close enough. Besides, Gadot’s ancestry does happen to be part Austrian-Jewish. Anyway, I know you’re being facetious underneath it all, to try to show that these concerns are ridiculous. You’re not succeeding.

Plus she was out of the Israeli army by the time of the particular conflict in which people claim she murdered children.  

You must be illiterate if you think that’s what she meant.  No surprise.
