This drives me so nuts! I am a social worker in a hospital and I have been trying to hard to work with staff on my unit to be respectful of trans patients and use proper pronouns. And yet EVERY TIME we have a trans patient, it's like starting from scratch. The staff I work with is not hateful for the most part, but…

Facebook comments are where Yahoo comments go to die in an ignorant, racist, sexist, homophobic fire.
I literally spent the entire time reading this rage-twitching. Even before I knew anything about trans issues, I still knew better than this horseshit. None of these are defensible mistakes. NONE OF THEM.
I feel like that floor would make me vomit if I tried to walk on it while drunk.
Like Victorian child corpse pictures.
umm...what's he looking at?!
umm, the symbolism here....ah caints handle it :
That's not completely true. It's pretty common for boys to take abstinence pledges and wear purity rings as well. They just get to pledge their purity to God rather than their mothers, because men are the protectors and the head of the household not women argle bargle.
True story: In Sunday School in first grade, at some point, a teacher said something to the effect of "all women are virgins when they're born", in answer to someone's question about why the Virgin Mary was called the Virgin Mary (adults get weird and incoherent when trying to explain the intersection of theology and…
NO.
I'm sorry, but all this hip and waist touching in this weird manner is just really grossing me out. AND HAVING THE DADS' FRONTS AGAINST THEIR DAUGHTERS' BACKS (ASSES)?!?!??! In which world is this appropriate and not SUPER DISTURBING?! In the first one the dad's hand is nearly touching the girl's boob! EW!!! This is…
Recently my dad made a comment about how annoying it is when gay people "base their entire identities around the fact that they're gay" and I said, "there are worse things to base your entire identity on. You know, like things that persecute or harm others" (see: CHRISTIANITY).
When all the catholic girls in my hometown were getting purity rings, I sort of found myself wanting one. I was (am?) pretty materialistic although in the purity regards I suppose I'm "morally casual". Anyways, my dad bought me a ring and said "this ring should remind you that you're allowed to do whatever you feel…
Why don't sons pledge their purity to their mothers?
This is so wrong on so many levels. A girl's sexuality should not be related in any way to her father. Pledging her purity to him is the most sexist, regressive, and patriarchal act one can do in contemporary American society. Its even more literal than a father giving away the bride at a wedding.
I finally figured out where the "creepy" comes from: it is the pre-prom pose (boys hands on girls hips) that seems like a strange pose for a father-daughter . . . .
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
I think I would go with
Creepy >> gorgeous, I say.
