I feel like this horribly back-assward system of bloodflow is the one way nature could figure out how to troll people with dicks.

Doubt it. In my 20s, and don’t think there is anything “feminist” or “empowering” about the sexualization of the female body and of culture in general.

Yep. This is what jumped out at me about LW1:

The little soap operas in a multi-cat household can be fascinating. Also like soap operas, they wrap up in about an hour so everybody can take a nap.

We’ll See: A Tragedy in Two Acts

I grew up in the 1980s. We were Democrats and pro-choice, but we were also extremely devout, straight-laced Christians. My parents did not permit us to watch MTV for various reasons—partly because my mother was a classically-trained musician who considered pop music to be trash, partly because they felt MTV was…

Per the late and unlamented Steve Bannon, the real goal of this transgender ban is strictly political; he wants to use this as a wedge issue to force Democrats to take on the (in his view) politically toxic defense of transgender soldiers’ right to serve.

Family pictures, children’s drawings, cards, letters...

Folks tried, and tried, and tried, and tried to educate you. Since that failed:

Ugh I love her, if only because her positivity is such a welcome antidote to how our society expects trans women to be: the tragic victim in our own story. Or the villain. Just showing that you can be trans and proud and also happy is revolutionary.

Cambodian mines left over from the genocide is still alive even now, kids, dogs, people still are being killed because of things that happened over almost 50 years ago.

Okay folks so I *know* it’s gonna come up and I’ll just try to get ahead of it here:

Pretending that there isn’t currently a loud faction within feminism that wants to expel trans people from women’s spaces is easier than actually admitting that multiple avenues of oppression exist, I suppose.

I don’t either, I wasn’t really commenting on those hosts specifically but rather a general trend I’ve noticed. Much like prison rape, it seems like many self-described liberals are waaaay too willing to treat trans women as a joke.

Transmisogynoir is so potent and foul. We already blame women when they’re raped or killed, and Black folks when they’re the targets of violence, and most definitely trans folks when they get killed. Add all three together and you get even “progressive” people who act like Black trans women are disposable or subhuman.…

You nailed Kinja posting :)

It’s that invisible force that attracts us to cats, I believe.

No thanks. It’s way too expensive to play “head on a swivel” on my way to an exam for a class that costs hundreds of dollars an hour. Go play paintball with people who want to. “Meh” to privileged babies who can afford to drop out four times. (Guess whose scholarships became life-or-death while somebody was farting…

Yes, we will do that on the same day that anyone gives a shit about what you think.
