Some trans women are seriously assholes. I've seen the kinds of things you're talking about, most often in people who transition later in life and get used to acting a certain way (I've experienced being completely shut out by other trans women in this same way).
A) That episode is so good. So. So. So. Good! Everything was right. A lot of times trans people are written like the writer read a book and maybe a few websites. It feels so fucking forced, but everything about this felt real. I mean, it's not exactly my story, but this is the first time I've ever seen a trans woman…
That's cool. I'm glad they did it well. Sometimes it doesn't affect me much, but sometimes it's awful. Last time, I couldn't stop making stupid mistakes (wrong train, wrong turns, massive depression...).
Four years ago, I hit a really low point in my career, lost my job, ran out of funds and found myself surfing couches. To get enough funds to get my business back off the ground (freelancer) I took a minimum wage job. I was working over 40 hours a week and my take home barely $250. I was debt free at the time and it…
cool. I'm looking forward to it—but I think I'm still going to take it with a side of Bourbon...Going off meds is a serious issue for trans women in prison, especially for post-op women (I think I read that her character is post-op). There can be serious side effects (I was recently off mine for a couple of weeks—it's…
I believe you and everyone has said that, but I still get super anxious. At least she's not a prostitute... I mean, sex work is a serious issue for lower income trans women, especially trans women of color...but if you took your cues from TV you'd think that all trans women are either sex workers or hair dressers.
I'm about to watch that episode now and while everyone has told me that it's really good, I'm still super nervous to see it. I'm just incredibly hungry to see trans women portrayed on film and television, but it's almost always soo bad (see my rant about Candis Cayne in Elementary) that I have to drink to get through…
Seriously, I bet most of those guys don't even know about the Articles of Confederation and what an abject failure it was or the difference between the Stamp Act and the Tea Act (or why the British Empire even needed to raise revenues in the first place. Hint: it wasn't just because King George was a dick) or a basic…
why would any group of randos play better than a team that trans together for their job? What did they think was going to happen?
I thought a lot of people weren't necessarily thrilled with Quinn and that some of the NY queer population was resentful over the pressure to vote for her just because she was "one of their own?" As far as I can tell Anthony Wiener doesn't stand for anything that is contrary to the political goals of the GLBT…
The best thing about going out before 10 is that you're not stuck in a crowded bar with a bunch of insufferable 22 year-olds. I don't usually work in the mornings but I still like being in bed by 12 or 1 so that I can get up and do something interesting with my day.
He also signed an amnesty law for illegal immigrants in 1986 (double 'splosion)
Ummm...Haven't you read the official Patriots Guide to American History? Regan was the single best president ever dreamed of in the history of creation. I mean, sure his economic policies led to a 30 year decline in real wages and sure, he started the trend of reducing taxes and relying on ballooning deficits, and…
I just thought I'd share this relevant piece of graffiti that I happened to notice in my neighborhood on the day the DOMA decision came down.
The only thing I eat is food. Ask my wife.
In Australia, because they aren't as into the marriage thing as we are, even straight people refer to the people they've been with for a long time as their "partner". This had me confused for weeks.
No advice. That guy is a douche bag. Fuck him.
My ex started dating the girl he just married three days after we broke up... I was invited the the wedding (but by then, it had been three years, so no hard feelings...mostly).
Jesis* that looks amazing. How did it get buried?
