Well, if you want to see Nixon handle a similar situation:

There are regulations about people practicing medicine having proper credentials and a safe, sterile workspace because everyone, INCLUDING POOR PEOPLE , deserves ethical medical treatment.

Off the top of my head, great orgs that train and/or support young women to be leaders that regularly manage to successfully invite politicians to be role models at events:

It's almost nice that you tried to provide a source, but then you really tripped over a lack of reading comprehension. Straight from your link:

"Madison says the parties were related to the BET Awards but not part of the official events." [emphasis added]

Actually, I am pretty sure that there is a buffer zone around...wait for some excellent irony...the Supreme Court!

The kind of thing that freaks me out is that her trip to the store didn't have to go smoothly. Various unpredictable things could have delayed her enough for the temperature to climb to a dangerous point, including the admittedly not likely scenario of being held hostage in the store for whatever reason. But there's…

While medical transitions are important for many trans people they are irrelevant to the status of gender identity. A person is the gender they identify with whether they opt for hormones and/or surgery or not. So it's absurd to suggest that there's such a thing as modifying a man's body to look like a woman's. If…

I mean, based on ignorant expectations, sure. But my point is that those expectations don't actually make sense. And since they don't make sense, there's nothing incongruous. Like, why assume you know what's in someone's pants based on their gender presentation when someone's gender presentation is not a necessary…

"I tried..."

You seem to misunderstand the meaning of the word. I am not suggesting that it is very common to run into such a person but that there's nothing about being a woman that implies anything about genital configuration. So there's no red flag because it's not unexpected that some people have penises.

But there's nothing incongruous about a woman having a penis, so what's unknown and worth investigating further?

This might be true at most places, but I am responsible for hiring interns at my tiny nonprofit and muuuuuch prefer the other way around. I would guess that other places like us feel similarly.

Ugh. Women are notsymbols, women are people.

I have absolutely shopped at a large Saintsbury's that sold clothes.

Sounds about right.

Although the state law doesn't actually matter after Loving v. Virginia in 1967. But that's still scary recent and even though the Supreme Court case invalidates laws like that, it's a nice gesture to also remove them entirely.

So, I work for a political/women's empowerment org, and we just had a big event at a hotel on Capitol Hill. One part of it was a luncheon in the fancy event space on the top floor. A bunch of our young women volunteers and I (also a young woman) got there early to set up and packed into an elevator and took it all the…

I keep seeing that amazing closing bit misattributed to Hillary all over the place—kudos for writing something so clever that everyone believes Hillary Clinton wrote it!
