Literally I was just expecting pictures of Laura and Bruce Dern.

anyone else click thinking it was going to be a gallery of all Laura Dern's Globes looks ever?

If I was Bey I'd have a birthday anytime I felt like. Who would stop me? That's right. No one.

As someone who was raised in a faith healing home (Christian Science), it's impossible not to have mixed feelings here. I totally get it about bodily autonomy... and yet at that age I was still making incredibly bad decisions about my health, even after almost dying in childhood (and suffering a lot), based on what I…

I know you're caught up now, so I won't reply to your original points, but I wanted to reassure you that CCMC would *never* report a parent without serious cause. They are not one of those hospitals that reports every kid who comes in with a bruise. They are a good hospital with smart people.

I am nothing if not my ego and a whole lot of fake blood.

So over the way this is being portrayed nationally.

It's a fun little place for it now, isn't it? :)

The positive attitudes we can still have about getting an IUD even after this story is making the dudes whining about condoms over in the other thread even more poignant.

I didn't have to get two insertions but I did have to get 2 measurements (sounding) which, for me was the worst part. The second one was a horror show because I knew how much it was gonna hurt.

Honestly, it hurts SUPER BAD for like 5 seconds. That's it. I figured 5 seconds of pain is worth 10 years of lazy baby-free-ness.

CHARACTER CLAUSE, BARRY #nopedro

The FA who was lecturing you was 100% correct. It doesn't matter what the other one said, you can't leave loose objects unrestrained in flight. I've been on flights with severe turbulence were newspapers and sweatshirts and books go flying into the air - its not uncommon for that kind of turbulence to happen on even a…

What the fuck, that is not a victory for females or business travelers or anyone except for maybe derps who love playing purse roulette when it comes to dangerous projectiles slamming into someone's head when the plane drops.

Seriously, go get that purse and have someone throw it at your face as hard as they can, then…

You shouldn't have your purse on your lap.

I'm glad they are going to start using a safety seat for Ivy. Frankly, I'm really surprised they didn't do this already, as she probably uses a car seat in their car, right? How do you have a child with special physical needs and not look really closely into solutions for safety in special situations (like flying,…

A friend of a friend had a child who told them at around age 12 that she felt that she was transgender and wanted to start transitioning and go back to school as a boy (this was the beginning of the summer). They live in a large metropolitan area so they tracked down a (legit, not faith based) therapist who…

Its terrible enough that her parents were unsupportive, but downright diabolical that they isolated her from all of her support groups both online and irl. They took her much needed opportunity of therapy and in turn exposed her to more people trying to control and shame her. So abusive.

These are the stories I just don't get. Even IF (and that's a big IF) you think a child who is trans has a problem, why is it inclement upon you as a parent to "fix" them? If you're a person of faith, shouldn't you be of the opinion that such matters are between the trans person and their diety of choice (if any)?…

That poor girl. Oh, Leelah. Would that you had been born into a world big enough for your goodness.
