Most of those who have studied child development agree that gender identity has settled around age three or four. This if a child is consistent, insistent, and persistent about their gender identity being at odds with what they were assigned at birth, it’s best to start by getting them to some medical/psychiatric…

Play has everything to do with gender. You don’t play (as a child, or an adult for that matter) in a vacuum. It is a set of social relations. The determinants of gender dysmorphia are pretty well studied, though are disagreements. That said, I’m not sure why we need to insist on a set of determinants to begin with.…

You know, the thing about being the privileged/dominant/default is that it feels like you just are. For white people, we’re “people” whereas people of colour are racialized. For men, they’re “people” whereas women are...not men.* I have always, as a cisgender woman, been very aware of my gender, as have all the women…

Does the report say that the child is taking T or hormone replacement therapy or has had surgery? I’m confused as to why you assume this.

You know that gender and sexual orientation are different, yes? I can’t tell if that was just rambly thoughts or conflating the two.

The post specifies child actor.

It really blows my mind where we can have a successful tv show with openly gay characters and now a transgender character and yet we have Trump neck in neck with Hillary. It seems very incongruous.

Yeah, my thing is, I hate John Kasich for a multitude of reasons, but the one thing I respect is his utter unwillingness to get on the Trump Train. He doesn’t give one damn about the repercussions. He actually has some dignity. Not that I’d ever, ever vote for him because he’s crazy on his own, but at least he has…

I think she would have. Cruz is a good campaigner. Trump has rallied from a string of blunders starting with his idiotic response to the Khans, but those are blunders Cruz would have never made in the first place I think. Had Cruz been the candidate, the Khans may have never made it on the stage at the DNC in the…

Oh, God, I had forgotten that he picked a running mate before winning the nomination. What an idiot.

Honestly, I think people in TX would have respected him more if he’d done that.

ok cool bro

He is a spineless self serving little shit. He legit thinks he will be president in 2020 if Hillary wins.

Reading comprehension fail. Or a clumsy attempt at unfunny trolling. Either way, you can do better.

It was definitely a tonsil stone, which is the most disgusting option of all.

This is the only Ted Cruz gif I’m able to use, because I’m terrified and horribly grossed out by the one where he eats the weird booger/white substance off his face during the GOP debate.

I think this was a poor calculation on his part.

The snows of Russia.

He didn’t endorse Hillary, ffs. He endorsed Trump.

I cannot imagine being married to a man who endorsed someone for president AFTER that certain someone made extremely derogatory insinuations about my appearance. Politicians are spineless as fuck.
