No. I agree with what you posted. I was referring to other commentators willful choice to remain obtuse regarding this topic.

“We are prepared to shelter people once the cities and county shelters reach capacity. Lakewood will be a value to the community in the aftermath of this storm in helping our fellow citizens rebuild their lives.”

Dude the link you provided explicitly states that gender nonconformity isn’t a disorder, the disorder is the distress that *can* occur. People can be trans without having clinically significant distress as a result.

In other news....General Jonathan Vance, Canada’s Chief of Defence Staff, marched in the Ottawa Pride parade yesterday. He was accompanied by about 100 members of the armed forces, including senior generals and admirals.

I regularly speak to a group of Trump devotees. They’re not friends, but I see them often. They are hardcore Republicans. One of them is a veteran. I asked them how gleeful they must be for the transgender ban. They weren’t. “Do they have my back? Can they shoot straight? Are they willing to go into battle with me?…

“The medical costs are a fraction of total medical costs for active military members.”

As per usual, the women are wearing super elaborate, super uncomfortable dresses that you can walk, sit, eat or pee in and require going commando with kilometres of boob tape, while the men have jeans and sneakers

I’m hoping that it wasnt that Arya and Sansa were playing LF the whole time, otherwise why the acting when they were alone together? IMO the most logical conclusion is that off camera when Sansa was freaked out enough over Arya she finally went to Bran who gave her the complete low down on Arya and LF. Bran took the…

Yuck. Heathers was the kind of lightning in a bottle weirdness that always sucks when people try to reboot it.

It should be called “Madisons” or “Taylors”.

(What this also may mean, in my most Bran Stark third eye, is that Dany and Cersei are going to be pregnant at the same time and we can prepare ourselves for some truly annoying powerful women protecting their womb plotlines next season. Please let me be wrong!)

Cutting the Tysha reveal was so bad.

I feel kind of weird that the POC/queer/curvy (?!) bullies are picking on a conventionally attractive white girl who teams up with a conventionally attractive white dude to kill them....

You forgot Qyburn’s raging boner for that White Walker. He looked like he’d just been handed the biggest, bestest Christmas present a zombie making mad scientist could ever hope for.

I grew up in the 1980s. We were Democrats and pro-choice, but we were also extremely devout, straight-laced Christians. My parents did not permit us to watch MTV for various reasons—partly because my mother was a classically-trained musician who considered pop music to be trash, partly because they felt MTV was…

This is a huge win. Sadly, it won’t make much of a difference in peoples’ every day lives. People will still be targeted and persecuted within their own communities, in rural areas and most towns. Only the most cosmopolitan and progressive cities, like Mumbai, and the very upper classes, i.e. wealthy, have large…

As Anne Rice has certainly taught us. :)

This is a discussion of Joseph Campbell’s trope / myth analysis of “The Hero’s Journey” vs. his bullshit opposite “Girl Hero’s Journey.”

The Hero’s Journey is external, and the Girl Hero’s Journey is internal. The Hero starts out all powerful, but he doesn’t know it; he’s the King’s son who thinks he’s an orphan, and…

I agree wholeheartedly with you and share a very deep skepticism about the damages awarded and how people are drawing conclusions based on it. :/
