Can you explain how, please?

Transladies tend to be more visible because, in terms of secondary/cosmetic traits, female puberty is easier to reverse than male puberty. For instance, taking estrogen doesn’t stop facial hair growth, but taking testosterone does give you a beard (in some dudes’ cases an even fuller one than many cis guys). By the…

Y’know, I agree wholeheartedly, but I also truly believe that societies and the humans in them have better lives and are happier if we give everyone more sympathy and compassion than they deserve. I know that’s kumbaya as fuck, but I just don’t think there’s another way.

You’re doing envelope math, regarding a very complex topic, with what are almost certainly wildly inaccurate numbers, both in terms of measurement and reporting, and you’re doing it in immediate reaction to a member of one of, if not *the* most dehumanized subgroup of people in the country being murdered.

“Demi’s comments are very stupid of only because...”

If he doesn’t win and, y’know, start a nuclear war, this will be the most damaging aspect of his campaign. We’ve had plenty of liars in national office before, but they generally focused on a small handful of big lies.

Broadcasting is such an intensely arbitrarily measured job, and Mendoza is so objectively good to my nerd-ass ears (as a national baseball broadcaster, she has an insanely low bar to clear, but she does so admirably,) that I cannot imagine this dude is speaking from anything from kneejerk misogyny.

As a trans-ish/genderqueer/non-binary/whatever-term-best-indicates-my-visibility-and-solidarity person, makeup will never, ever, be over. You want to end the tyranny of constructed appearances in public? Don’t eschew it, extend the expectation to *all* (not just famous) cis straight dudes. I guarantee that shit will…

Something that isn’t in my short-term economic benefit but is in my long-term human benefit? I’m a Lyft driver, full-time. (It sucks, btw.) I’ve watched a lot of these videos of autonomous vehicles. You know who they drive exactly like?

Which is a market force that exerts positive pressure on wages.

I guess I just don’t see any public right to know here? Certainly if her anonymity was being used for any nefarious purpose, but it seems the only goal was “writing books without people knowing my name.” I don’t see any public good being served by having that goal thwarted.

The future you’re helping to build by reenforcing this ethic is a fucking nightmare and I want no part of it.

Two possibilities here:

As a person with severe depression, thank fucking Christ my family hated guns. I never had violent thoughts about others, but I absolutely would not have survived my teens if I lived in a house with a gun. They are machines designed to shorten the distance between the fleeting thought “this person should die” and…

Hey, so I’m a very androgynous bi guy who has lived both in and out of the gayborhood and been hit on by plenty of guys in public, some who thought I was a man, some who thought I was a woman. Here’s something you need to know when empathizing with women: it’s really fucking different.
