This is just messy and sad. The producers of Say Yes to the Dress edited them really well apparently because they seemed like a cute couple. A lot of people on that show just come across as entitled jerks.

No. This woman doesn’t identify as bisexual. The erasure of gays and lesbians who’ve been in het relationships before coming out (hey there, compulsory heterosexuality!) isn’t bisexual erasure – it’s gay and lesbian erasure.

I think the “asking questions in a language the asylum seeker doesn’t speak” is pretty crappy, no matter what her claim for asylum was based on. I know it isn’t an Israeli only issue either, and it’s a pretty shitty thing to do to someone.

I’m a little confused.

The number of people who are choosing to read this story as “Israel denied Asylum because she’s a lesbian” is, at once, pretty telling and not at all surprising.

part of me thinks this is a lingering israeli problem with brown people

Here’s a novel idea. Why don’t men take the time to learn about how a woman’s body works, then make an effort to put that into practice? (Watching a steady diet of porn does not count!) Why not ask their partner what she needs from him to get her interested and willing? It’s different for every woman. Sexual response…

Mark my words, the GOP will make something out of this. I can practically hear Rush Limbaugh right now: “Why should we have to foot the bill so some slut can take pills to make her even more of a slut”. Count on it.

From the linked Politico article: “Most payers will place the drug in tier 2 or tier 3, leaving patients with co-pays of about $30 to $75 a month”.

Is this something that could potentially be problematic in men's track too, where men with more testosterone have a distinct advantage over men who don't? There has to be a better solution than telling someone they can't compete in the class meant for the gender they have by all other measures always been. Perhaps…

I’m not going to get into that (I have no idea how hard it would be to make an instant sex pill for women), but it doesn’t actually work like viagra AT ALL. I understand why Joanna and some of the other authors are making that comparison and I’m not faulting them for it, really, but on the last article or two about…

I’m having a REALLY hard time understanding how something a person’s body does naturally can be labeled an “unfair” advantage. Certainly it can be called an advantage, but as I tell my 3-year old, “It’s not unfair that you don’t have something that someone else does, it just sucks for you."

Really glad she’s okay! I understand the urge as a teenager to go off your meds once you start feeling “normal” so you can just be a regular kid. I hope she realizes how helpful they can be to avoid situations like this.

Or maybe she is just a human being, Stop being such a dick and making it about something. It isn’t always about you. It’s called compassion.

Maybe not the perfect soapbox to step up on.

I feel like neither of those thoughts demonstrate either empathy or compassion for a fellow human being and her family who are, it seems, going through some rough shit. I like a contrarian as much as anyone else, but come on.

“the illusion of equality”. What does this even mean? Are sports supposed to be some bastion of fairness, now? She is a woman, has not been caught using peds (even if she did who gives a fuck, everyone uses them, and they are professionals), why on earth should she be banned from running? Congrats to her for winning…

Universities should just not support these institutions and should limit their ability to throw parties on school property.

I don’t think you need to oppose an exception to abortion bans in the case of danger to the pregnant woman to be consistent. You do need to oppose exceptions for rape and incest, because otherwise that makes it clear you don’t really care about the fetus, just about making sure sluts get punished. But we make…

It honestly makes me want to gouge his fucking eyes out and fedex them to his fucking mother
