Haha true. I always say that like, sex never stops being gross and icky like we thought it was in elementary school. We just start wanting it after puberty, so we ignore the gross stuff and do it anyway! And it's great :)
On the bright side, it's nice that you have a boyfriend who doesn't go "yuckkkchhhhch, childbirth labor grossgrossgross!" or think that the female reproductive system is repulsive and all that.
I currently want to end up training to be a nurse-midwife (not definitively, but it's on the list of life-choice possibilities), and I love the fuck out of childbirth/pregnancy/reproduction and think that they are cool as shit. However, I have no idea if I'll end up making the choice to go totally natural if/when I…
How does human fat serve as the fuel source, exactly? Like why does that catch on fire?
And thank you for the explanation! Hearted for awesomeness. I'm just still a bit confused here.
True, true. And I always enjoy some in-depth analysis of Parks and Rec.
Gahnoooo! I'm afraid that if I plan to watch it late on a couple days after each episode airs, I'll spoil everything for myself when I check Jez :(
Did the real parents of this baby have anything to say about this? And did the real mom not notice that pictures of her own baby were showing up on her friend's FB page?
Yeah, I've read about this "wick effect" thing before, but I'm pretty confused about how it works. Halp?
I just replayed that a bunch of times, because I didn't catch it originally. He did say "the day he took his life," but kind of whistled it out so it sounded a bit ambiguous. I'm pretty sure he didn't say that though, thankfully.
Technically, transpeople have to be diagnosed with Gender Identity Disorder to be able to legally change their sex, at least in most states as far as I know. That diagnosis is part of the transition to becoming their different gender. Many people protest the existence of GID within psychiatric definitions, and want to…
That's so weird, I was just thinking about the Law & Order: SVU episode that's exactly like this story today. Very, very sad that she has to live in a men's facility. However, I'm surprised that they're even funding her hormone therapy. While it would be great if she could have the reconstructive surgery, I'm not sure…
Exactly. The last time I saw that picture was over a year ago, but it stuck in my memory so strongly that the comment from @LandyCakeBoss immediately reminded me of it, bahaha.
Hey, super late response: I just went back through the archives to find this article because for some reason I was reminded of it. I'm a huge Jez fan/reader, and I remembered this incident very well because I went to this high school and many of my friends were still students there when this event occurred. So I just…
Maybe if she was mentally ill in some way, that could've made her want to punish him? Iono.
I feel like the media would be pinpointing him if he could be a suspect, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Maybe he had an alibi or something. My impression was that he knew her better than the family did, and he might've known if she had depressed or suicidal tendencies, as opposed to her family who could've…
Yeah, exactly. That's kind of what I was trying to say in my post, but I feel like you said it more concisely. It's just like, not easy to feel the presence of that future until you've experienced it, and until then, it can be impossible to really believe that it's going to get better.
I'm glad you got help. That requires a ton of strength, especially during middle school age. I hope things have been looking up since then.
