His people have told him that he can ban all abortions with an executive order.

Thank you!

I’m not one of the most frequent posters by any means, but I’ve been around for years myself, and I’ve rarely had a problem with anyone other than TERFs and Trump supporters and Jew-haters!

Notorious troll who’s been around for years.  Usually there’s some hidden reference to tomatoes in his message or in whatever user name he’s using.  Always mysteriously approved.

You know what? That’s such an asshole comment. I’m quite a bit younger than Caitlyn Jenner, but I’m still a baby boomer who happens to be a trans woman — as well as a lifelong New York Jewish Democrat — and pretty much every LGBT baby boomer I know who fits into any of those categories hates Trump and his minions as…

I’ve seen it a lot too, and there isn’t any study that’s a source for it. I’m pretty sure someone took the average age of black trans women who’ve been reported to have been murdered or otherwise died over a period of time, and interpreted that to mean that that’s the average life expectancy of black trans women. It’s …

Thanks so much.  The same to you.

I’m pretty sure that while it was being broadcast, the AV Club and/or Jezebel did recap every episode.

Jump off the Empire State Building?  Go ahead.  Please!

“Beat up,” or shoved to the ground, possibly accidentally? And how do we know this girl really was one of the ones who supposedly did that, or even the same one who’d been told to leave? White cops aren’t great at distinguishing one black kid from another, after all.  Plus, you call that a kick?  It didn’t get…

Right now it’s only about Title IX (schools, basically). Next it’ll be Title VII (employment), and then everything else, including passports, Social Security records, and so on. And, of course, legal challenges will ultimately wind up in our wonderful new Supreme Court.

Thank you, although I don’t think this is anything like the Reimer case, which was specifically about gender & sex & theories of nature vs. nurture. Dr. Archibald just was a garden-variety disgusting pedophile, and the fact that at least one of his victims — me — happened to be trans was really just a coincidence. One…

Also, I’ve thought about sending the story to the Jezebel inbox and explaining that I have a connection to it.  But I’m not really prepared right now to go through my whole story and its details all over again to another journalist — it takes a lot out of me — and it wouldn’t make much sense to contact Jezebel unless…

Not all religions.  It’s a Christian thing.

Thanks. Fortunately or unfortunately, Dr. Archibald died 10 years ago or so. He was in his late 90s, proving that longevity has nothing to do with virtue. I have to admit that I was relieved when I saw his obituary, although I was disgusted by all the stuff about his being a pillar of his community, a Deacon in his…

Thanks so much. The reason I said that about Jezebel was that it seems that the majority of Dr. Archibald’s patients were boys (at least at the time!) — I suspect because parents worried more about short sons than short daughters) — and most of the abuse seems to have been directed at boys. Although he did take the…

Thank you. It isn’t easy. I’ve actually written anonymously on the Internet (including here, I think) about what happened, every so often, at least as far back as 2006, both for reassurance that what Dr. Archibald did really was wrong — I always struggled with the thought that maybe he was right that there were…

This isn’t something that Jezebel is likely to cover, but there’s a front-page story in the New York Times yesterday about a prominent pediatric endocrinologist who sexually abused dozens — and probably hundreds — of child patients during the period of nearly 30 years when he operated a “growth clinic” at the…

Sure she speaks five languages.  Just like she has an architecture degree, or whatever it was she claimed.  

Agreed. I’ve watched three episodes so far, and I’m very happy with them. (Watching the 30-minute recap of seasons 1 and 2 available on Amazon Prime really helped!)
