... missing a detail that created a straw man, OR attempting to derail and gaslight a conversation because you’ve been called out for mansplaining breastfeeding? Just know inside that you’re a bit out of your la leche league with this one.

I would’ve done better to shut up.”

Of course you chose to give your opinion on a thing you can’t biologically do.

I am not putting words in your mouth, you just wrote you failed to delineate.

Basically he is saying that you can use formula only if the baby can't handle breast milk.

Oh, absolutely - there’s nothing confusing or even hard about gender neutral pronouns. It’s similar to people who whine about how ‘hard’/’confusing’ it is when someone requests a change of gender pronouns - it’s not hard, they just don’t want to do it.

Start giving trans actors roles that aren’t as trans people, and then we can talk about cis actors getting gigs telling our stories. If you limit trans actors to trans roles, you don’t get to complain about your “artistic freedom” or whatever self-serving tripe you’ve invented to justify it. You’ll get fully-justified

Until we live in a perfect world, having these conversations is integral to change. Commenters trying to say that she should have just married someone flawless doesn’t help anything or anyone. If we want things to change, we have to believe that people are capable of change and act accordingly.

¿Por qué no vas y chingas a tu madre?

It makes me feel better, thank you very much.

Oh, we have a flirty one here.
