If someone was raised as a boy despite knowing they were trans, they may have been treated like a boy, but they certainly didn’t feel like one. Do you not see why it would be upsetting to say to someone “you lost the childhood and adolescence you should have had because you were born in the wrong body, therefore I

What a shock.

It’s also a thing that becomes radically important once child-having comes into it. The world gets downright violent when it comes to ownership of your body, person, and life as soon as you turn up pregnant. I see nothing wrong with recognizing the common experience of women who’ve been through this — which is most of

72 stars in under an hour. I’m surprised it’s not more.

A bit of a simplification, but yes, basically that.

Blackface isn’t cool, Drew.

Probably not as unhealthy as 8 year olds in Texas dedicating their entire lives to pee-wee footbaw. At least from a head-trauma point of view.

Bat technology has reached its peak. The next great leap forward will be with baseballs.

“Not me”

At his size, he qualifies as a plural.

Then take it up with Jezebel for running the story, not meltca for simply (and rightly, imo) pointing out that there’s no moral high ground in threatening people you don’t like. This is a comments section, not Headline News.

That’s reductive to the extreme and you know it. If you were 100% sure you’re right, you wouldn’t feel the need to misrepresent his/her argument to refute it.
