I’m a dedicated liberal. “Safe spaces” are a joke. One can choose what and what not to listen to and/or believe. Adults, in particular (and that’s what college kids are) should be able to process things that offend them. The world is rife with “micro-aggressions”; if one demands an echo chamber during this phase of

Well, they can. So rest easy, citizen.

Really? It wasn’t enough to double-down on your anti-trans bigotry, you also just had to do the “I’m not the bigot, you’re the bigot!” thing, too?

You understand that trans servicemembers are already on active duty, right? They have already passed all of the medical examinations and the psych (not psyche — for something that concerns you so greatly, you really should learn how to spell it). They have met and continue to meet all of the training and PT

No one who can’t pass the med and psyche eval is being accepted.

They CAN pass the med and psych eval; the whole point. I have had trans Soldiers in my units before (just as there were gay and lesbian soldiers pre-DADT) and they were fine Soldiers who did good work. The DoD conducted a year-long study and found that there would be no negative impact to the force by allowing them to

Except that medical professionals agree that’s it’s a medical necessity. The prejudice is you thinking that your opinion must be what’s actually true.

That makes sense, and it also fits with what I’ve heard from my friends who are trans men. Trans women see it as a way to crush our identity out of us, while trans men see it as a way to express their identity more fully.

Anecdotally, I bet it increases quite a lot, especially for trans women. In a lot of ways, the military concept of “making a man out of you” is pretty alluring to someone who is trying to crush themselves into a man-shaped box. Of course, once someone figures out that that basically never works, they come out-or take

Or how they “misread” things.

Is anyone else getting tired of hearing how “painful” this is for the accused men?

“Not wear make-up that would be deemed ‘harrasing to male colleagues’”

I can think of two turkeys who’ll be pardoned at the White House.

“Usually you have to go to a Russian hotel for that kind of action.”

They’re white, so of course Trump would pardon them.

I’ve already been flamed regarding my (correct) option of Reese’s Pieces today, so I shall refrain from telling y’all what I think of Dave Matthews.

“Still, he persisted”. The difference a pronoun makes ..!

Fuuuuck.

“Of course we can’t judge. If you choose to do it (unlike your lover’s stitch!), and it makes you happy, go for it.”

I love the many, many layers of stupidity in that tweet, ranging from the obvious “that’s not even the fucking title, you dipshit” part that Erin pointed out to “no one either in real life or in The Crucible was burned at the stake in Salem” to “the people being accused of witchcraft are not exactly presented as
