I understand where you are coming g from and support the sentiment, but it hard not to think that if they had shown a small amount of humanity then they could have avoided their (and our) grief.

I know her family didn't understand her and didn't respect her gender identity, but they have lost their child. Some humanity and respect for their grief is called for.

Me too, but I also wish I could believe it was intellectual curiosity and not a constant attempt to overcome a sense of never being good enough, which is heartbreaking.

But then we'll just have bears on the bus taking up even more space.

Merry Christmas! Sometimes it's the only answer to obvious trolls.

If he'd been hot and rich she would've liked it when he burned down her house.

Keep on clutching those pearls whilst fucking that chicken!

How about a doctor diagnosing him instead of people on the interwebs? Sometimes people are just assholes. I had a stalker ex boyfriend who tried to kill me with a bayonet because I wrote him a note telling him to leave me alone, when we were fourteen years old. He was evaluated by a doctor.

Is this an excuse for their behavior? No, maybe not,…

Yeah, I'm glad it works for them, but she's a far better person than me. As hormonal as I was while pregnant, if I was just sitting at home all puffy and achy and alone, eating ice cream while he was off "meeting his needs" with another woman...OMG I just got mad even thinking about it. And he should be cheerfully…

probably my husband wrote this, or at least he could have. Thankfully, I gave birth two weeks ago.

I'm glad it works for you. I would be resentful as all fuck if I was pregnant and my husband got to screw around on the side while I was carrying his child to be brought in to the world.

I had a horrible pregnancy and wanted to murder everyone I came into contact with for the full 10 months (and for the next few months after that to be honest.) My husband is AMAZING and while I never took my rage out on him, I also did nothing else than lie in bed or on the bathroom floor all day and he did everything…

what, are you trying to break jezebel?

She appears to be removing its soul.
