Or his wife and her family!

Same same same same saaaaaaame. I got nothing tested and never will, but my family definitely had a similar story that got mentioned occasionally and I certainly mentioned it until I was old enough to realize it was bullshit. Also, remember the anti-racist mentality among leftist white people in the early 1990s? We…

could you like... invent some kind of machine that beams this message into the skulls of literally everyone

holy shit i had also not considered that and gross gross gross

Thanks so much, again. That’s also what I took away from the article you posted (barring the bone density issue over the long term, which also sounds like it’s managed well). Seems like the movement towards gender-affirming surgery being permissible for younger people is happening at a slow and considered pace. It…

That is a goddamn excellent article, thank you very much for the link. I’ve bookmarked it so I can plumb their citations for more info.

how do i live here and only just learned that Sandi Toksvig took over QI?

Yeah. I pretty much lack the tissue differentiation to care about royals in general, but you’re pointing out a great example of Jezebel’s weird personality split in the last few years between being a feminist political blog and being a gossip tabloid. In my opinion, tabloid gossip is by definition not feminist since…

Which doctor do you mean? I think the team doctor in question died in 2005, or am I mixing up my Republican-representatives-with-links-to-sex-scandals stories? 

PPRREEEEAAACCHHHH

Would any of you who are more knowledgeable about the topic to direct me to links about what the actual situation is around gender-affirming surgery for minors? No need to knock yourself out explaining here (unless you want to, in which case, thanks!), I just want to read the compassionate factual material without…

I’m not sure it makes him a misogynist, but it definitely doesn’t make him supportive.* I can see why she’s keen to avoid an actual disagreement because these things always play out in perception as the woman being the aggressive bitch and the man being victimized. I’m tired as fuck of it.

*editing to add that in this…

Oh I’d love to, and/or feed him all sorts of comebacks about how he’s a total sociopath, but it’s more fraught to do that when it’s your nephew by marriage rather than by blood. When it’s my own family members consistently being shitbags, I’m quite happy to cancel and avoid, but when it’s husband’s family... gets more…

Tbh I suspect he abstains. He's an awkward motherfucker without too many good friends and I think he's hanging his hat on his church shit to make up for it. 

*shrug* now that WE are the ones off topic, I'll leave it here. Long-term commentary doesn't really do a lot for me anyway and it seems safe to assume that there are very few eyes on it.

This sure would explain my husband’s asshole nephew. He’s 23, so a little old for it, but immature enough to make up the difference. He just loves to rant about lazy millennials who can’t cut it and don’t work as hard as him (...he’s never had to provide for himself yet? he’s an undergrad? with UK subsidized tuition?…

Hi snick, indeed I can, but I’m opting not to in this case. I’ve been here likely as long as you have (pre-kinja!) and I’m familiar and comfortable with comment workings on this forum. Thanks for looking out for other commenters but it isn’t necessary here; for better or worse, I did opt to engage in response to his…

Usually do, slipped today. *Shrug*

Likewise the opposite my dude; your stance doesn’t allow for candidates’ (or anyone’s) change during a career. Similarly, your tactic is one that I’m really tired of hearing form Bernie Bros such as yourself, so I’m going to stop talking to you now. Kind regards.

see Ron Swanson of Westeros’ comment if you’d like further explanation of the stance.
