We moved a week ago! SO MUCH BETTER.

I am 100% pro the medicalization of transness. This is a medical condition with a medical solution. There are outliers where medical treatment is not wise.

No, those are reasonable people who understand the implications of allowing people who are biologically men to compete with women. 

Any suggestions for jobs, opportunities, or what have yous that would get a poor girl to the West Coast? Please and thank you.

This seems to me like a failure on the part of the instructor and the school on several levels.

Because if they are doing a hiring fair, and lots of people WILL be there in person and able to interview on the spot, it’s quite possible they won’t even look at a resume sent via email. If you really want this job, you need to give yourself the best possible chance of actually getting it.

I moved to Denver in May of this year from across the country, have started a brand new super stressful job and have no friends here. Anyone have any tips for making friends? Just ended a terrible terrible week at work and got my wisdom teeth out and I am currently at home wallowing, so anything helps guyz.

I’m halfway convinced Hockey’s situation is Muchausen by proxy, she feeds off the attention she gets for her daughter’s problems. It’s quite telling that she continually involves the criminal justice system over non-violent behavior. If you pay attention you’ll see that every situation she presents, be it her…

Oh, Jesus Christ. You’re recommending one parent who repeatedly involves their child with the criminal justice system as punishment for mental illness and another who is fine with institutionalizing their nine-year-old for over a year. I’ve been reading Jezebel for enough years to know those kids got the short end of…

Probably the part where Wal-Mart shoppers were described as having “completely and utterly given up.” That’s an elitist and shitty thing to say full-stop.

dramatic much? It’s a refuge for the working poor, people for whom Target is too expensive. Most people aren’t buying clothes there because its their #1 spot, it’s because they are a paycheck away from homelessness (like some 40%) of Americans, and need some inexpensive staples.. Man the air must be really thin up on…

My Dad buys his insulin from Walmart, it’s less than half the price you can find at other pharmacies. Let’s hope when you’re retired and trying to live on a check from social security that you retain your soul and identity while purchasing overpriced medical necessities.

*shrug* Return the shoes.

Full disclosure to what she’s referring to, my husband works for Jet who is owned by Walmart. If you didn’t get it from everything I’ve already said, where I’m from it would be pretty hard to avoid working for Walmart, but to answer your question... I’m mad because my whole life I’ve lived where all there are these…

Wow, that was the most pretentious, classist statement I’ve read on Jez in I don’t know how long.

You disdain for the Walmart customer is amazingly classist.

“...refuge for people who have completely and utterly given up.”

There it is. This what I’m talking about. Comments like these sound so much like the comments you got in high school if you were caught wearing Walmart clothes. Even though it’s all your parents could afford .

a refuge for people who have completely and utterly given up.

Ah the luxury of having never bought an item from Walmart. You obviously have never lived in a small town with poor parents, and the only place for 30 miles is a Walmart. In rural areas, it’s a necessity.
