It surprised me. But I guess I am one of those naive people who think 34 year old married men shouldn’t be fooling around with 19 year old women with obvious emotional issues.

I thought it was funny and as a First Nations woman, I don’t need you to explain cultural appropriation to me.

In the stage play, one of their ancestors was native....not saying this is necessarily good thing, but it’s a thing.

Urban Outfitters to the Navajo Nation:

I’ve have similar conversations with people when I mention that I am autistic (I’m “passing” in many situations since I’m low support).

Great, and she’s being exploited further via “alternative” medicine, which is a fucking sham, especially when it comes to such serious mental illness. This is the sort of mental illness which is only going to get better in conjunction with psychiatric medication.

I don’t plan on watching the show. If anyone has seen…

The rise of alt-medicine in this country is seriously scaring me. I also don’t like how many people flock to doctors and are indulged with Z-paks over every little thing because that’s excessive and extremist too but there’s way too much science and evidence denying of late which makes zero sense considering it’s…

she was wed off to a tangerine Demogorgon to settle the debt of her parents, who stole magic beans from Donald Trump’s enchanted vegetable garden when she was only one year old.

Given that the daughter is consistently referred to using she/her throughout the article, it’s unreasonable to assume that she uses anything other than she/her. Many trans folks, myself included, would find needlessly hedging about pronouns like that mildly offensive. Unless you do that when referring to anyone (cis…

One of my bffs is trans. He got married last winter, and during his mom’s speech, she said, “I finally have a daughter!” and iiiiiiit made my eyes run like Niagara Falls.

That’s actually part of the rationale behind the law. If the parents effectively abandon their parental rights as she did here, the kid should be able to get appropriate medical care without involving the parent.

“I want to destroy you for your own good. Why can’t you see that, you ungrateful little shit that I effectively disowned.”

Controlling and abusive narcissist asshole. He has money oozing out of his pores to provide for a willing egg donor in addition to a surrogate so it’s not about having a child, it’s about hurting and exerting force over a woman who rejected him and moved on. Only other controlling abusive narcissistic assholes would…

He doesn’t actually want a child, he wants the support that comes with it. As you say, if he’s so desperate to be a father, there are plenty of ways he can do so. That he wants to be a father to this particular embryo speaks volumes about his true intentions.

If the embryos result in a child, she might have legal responsibilities to it whether she wanted it or not. (The law on reproductive technology and custody is all over the place, so it depends on the state/judge.) But also, it’s different from a case where a woman is already pregnant. Here, there is no pregnancy, and…

Ugh this whole thing is such a pile of WTF. If this guy wants a kid so bad, why can’t he just adopt one? Or, if he’s so desperate for a biological one, get a surrogate and an egg donor! There is NO reason for him to be doing this other than to be an insufferable, controlling asshole.

They don’t have compassion for this woman, because the contents of uterus > woman. When I tried to impress on a (white dude) coworker that women will suffer and die without abortion access, he said “good. They should suffer.”

So often pro-lifers present the issue as a choice between abortions and no abortions. It is not. It is a choice between safe, legal procedures and a fucking horrorshow of misery and desperation.
