Said it on Facebook this morning, saw it a lot in the Gawker comments - time to away with internet anonymity. No censorship, just post whatever you want to post with your first and last name next to it, linked to your Facebook account or email address. If you think it's okay to taunt a grieving 25-year-old with…
Dude you have some serious misconceptions about porn stars. What makes them crazy? Monetizing their sexuality? Because from what I've read they have amazing self esteem, and are no more likely to have a history of sexual abuse then the average citizen. So it seems like that "porn stars are crazy" thing might be a…
Yet James Deen could post a competition on Jezebel to fuck a lucky fan and hundreds of women would apply.
How is anything an expression of gender? When my husband orders a strawberry daquiri, some idiots call it "feminine." When I lead the conversation with outsiders when he's present, I'm "emasculating" him. When I wear lipstick, I'm a "girly girl." Are those things part of gender expression to you? Why should they be?
I disagree; categorical definitions are ALWAYS debatable. I'm a real hit at parties.
I guess I can see how my experience is different from that of an anorexic; I feel burdened by excessive body fat that everyone agrees is there, and an anorexic feels burdened by fat that other people can't see.
How can a person know for sure that they're suffering from gender dysphoria and not body dysmorphia? I imagine few people will admit that their perception of their own body is not in line with reality (since their perception is their reality).
I thought that people with Gender Dysphoria were part of the wider disability rights agenda. As I understood it the trans community are a bit like the deaf community. So, the deaf community are a linguistic minority with a connection to the wider disabled people's community because their language is connected to an…
I am a little concerned by your article in it's insistence on labeling - across a variety of areas. Is it a sign that someone is a biggot if they don't use the proper pronoun? And why distance these issues from mental health - it seems to further stigmatize mental health disorders (crazy is still a health need, and…
That's rather harsh.
Do you have a vagina?
I hope at least one of the tips is trim your nails.
Actually, are you really okay with "legit" religious exemptions? Is it okay for parents to neglect and torture their children as long as a minister, Christian Science practitioner, or cult leader signs off on it? My parents both grew up in Christian Science. My mom's mom was taught that dentists were ok but…
"That naked guy smearing himself in dog shit is a jackass. UGH!"
Homeschool your unvaccinated Typhoid Marys then.
I am very for government mandated medical procedures for children. And I am very fed up with people citing religious reasons for every bullshit they do to people. "I had to beat my kid cause religion", "I had to rape that lesbian cause u know religion". Not vaccinating children (if you can afford it) has the same…
It's still absolute bullshit. Someone's religious nonsense should not be allowed to put my daughter at risk.
Except that the law isn't mandating a medical procedure. It's affirming that children who haven't undergone the procedure can be prevented from attending school.
