In South London. Or occasionally, Cornwall.

I haven’t broken each of the women into relationship-by-relationship dynamics because neither on the show nor in real life have any of them indicated they are anything other than straight.

And yet every time I read a story like this, even after having read so many before, my brain still goes “what the fucking fuck??”.

He doesn’t?

The only appropriate reply here is roflcopters. An entire fleet of roflcopters. Flying through the sky, laughing through their roflrotors at your hilariously wrong comment. Go look up XX males and XY females for a start, then go look up atypical chromosome arrangements like XXY or XXXY.

Ah, so you’re either a eugenicist or a troll. By the way, genetic mutations like me? That’s how evolution works. Without mutations like me, we’d still be mindless single celled bacteria.

Trans girls see penises from birth, and the only reason it psychologically distresses them is because the damned things are attached to them! Most still seem to be able to grow up into well adjusted adults, though.

Yes, yes. Trans kids are paedos (???) because they want to, horror of horrors, change or pee in peace and not be harassed or even assaulted (sexually or physically) for it. Hey, since you’ve already brought up one of society’s big boogeymen in order to fearmonger, how about calling them terrorists too? Clearly the…

Don’t use “trannies”, it’s an offensive slur. Also, as an intersexed woman, I’m very happy to ally myself with trans people because both of us experience a lot of the same medical problems and a lot of the same bullshit bigotry.

I’m so glad intersexed people like myself exist to throw a spanner or five into the works of your exceedingly flawed hypothesis. Really, right now I’m extremely happy I exist purely because my very existence proves you have no idea what you’re talking about. XY chromosomes with a mutated X, ambiguous body, ambiguous…

Many intersexed people are misassigned at birth, often have a body that (while somewhat ambiguous) doesn’t match our gender identity, and we end up having to go through pretty much the same medical process a trans person does. Similarly, some of us will want to have surgery to correct what to us may be intolerably…

But if you were a daughter of a young trans woman, surely you wouldn’t find it appropriate for her to be forced to share a bathroom with young men who may sexually and/or physically assault her. Even murder her, simply for being who she is.

No they aren’t. And don’t be bigoted towards the developmentally disabled.

Everyone thinks I’m talking about Pratchett, but interestingly, the whole world on an elephant on a turtle comes from Hindu mythology originally... although obviously I did think of Pratchett a little :) However, I was mostly referencing a rather old anecdote... Here’s Stephen Hawking’s telling from A Brief History of…

I believe Scalia was murdered by shape shifting reptilian aliens, in order to prevent him from revealing that not only were the moon landings faked, but the moon itself is a holographic illusion that camouflages a giant alien space station beaming deadly waves of homosexuality down to the Earth. Which, by the way, is…

You should probably go see a gastroenterologist.

Old-timey derogatory terms do have the one upside that you can imagine their users as blustering pompous Victorian fools with top hats, handlebar moustaches and a penchant for opium.

Clearly we just need more helium in our diet!

Looked to me more like Pikku was simply pointing out that autistic people are inherently more qualified to speak about our own experiences, thoughts, feelings, and preferences. It’s somewhat... perplexing when at the most extreme, non-autistic people try to tell us that their opinions on the matter are somehow more…

In some parts of the UK, people with vulnerabilities, impairments and/or disabilities can register with a scheme called “Pegasus”. Details of your impairments are put into a secure database, and at least if you call the emergency services and say pegasus (plus your PIN) it’ll bring up those details to the call…
