Nevertheless, he persisted.

We have all been elbowed in the face by Mike Pence and this child is the first to secure an apology.

Bless this child. He’s more persistent than the entire Democratic party that just had an election stolen from them.

Thanks, kid. Mike Pence also owes me (and every other LGBT person) and every woman in America an apology. But it’s a start.

get with the times, Stig...

All the bottles are still white, tho.

Unfortunately, that oversimplifies this particular situation. I work in vaccine advocacy in the Twin Cities, and the Somali population is at a real disadvantage when it comes to parsing out information regarding autism, which is “new” to them. Many of them tell us they had never seen autism before coming to this…

Hearing those things and being on the spectrum myself....it’s not that they shouldn’t vaccinate their child, it’s that they shouldn’t have a child.

Adoption agencies declaring that they’ll shut down and make all those poor babies just suffer without parents unless you give them what they want are essentially Sheriff Bart from Blazing Saddles holding a gun to his head.

This may just be my existential despair talking, but most of the time I feel like nothing she could have done would have made a difference. We still would have ended up with the Cheeto in Chief because everybody is sexist and racist and life is terrible and we’re all going to die. 

YES. Reading from a script is the perfect way to describe it, thank you. They know what they’re *supposed* to say to satisfy the bare minimum of wokeness and once they’re done going through the motions, they’re free to go back nitpicking any and every conceivable difference possible.

Oh god, I just googled that article. What a weird, hot mess of concern trolling (as if girls/women with short hair were never mistaken for boys and/or lesbians before trans people came into the public consciousness)

Did I ever say that Caitlyn presenting as male for most of her life had zero effect on her life? No, not at all. But you’re making specific assertions about what affect that had on her life, and you really have no idea if it’s true. For all we know, being trans and assigned male at birth was a moderating experience on…

There is a massive amount of cognitive dissonance on the left, with people often reluctant to examine their own lingering prejudices because of how much of their identity and sense of self are invested in being woke and being on the right side of history. It’s even worse in feminist spaces specifically regarding trans…

Since I troll my own threads constantly looking for validation, I definitely see and appreciate your comment :D

But that’s not really what you said: you specifically attributed certain negative aspects of Caitlyn’s behavior to being “socialized as a man”:

Thanks for sharing. I’m sorry you feel like you have to justify being a woman. Your experience is not any less authentic. All women, trans or cis, have their own unique ways of experiencing their gender identity. Your journey shouldn’t make you feel like it’s any less real than a woman who was born female and always…

“I’ve spent my entire remembered life struggling with feeling like a fraud. Now that I’m coming out, other people will tell me outright that I’m a fraud.”

Thanks for sharing your experience. I am sorry for your struggles and I just wanted to send you love and support as you transition. I don’t know you but I care about your health and well being and you being able to be your true self. Loads of love and good juju from a random stranger. <3
