Here is what I now know as a married lady: I saw too few buns and dongs before I got married. I didn’t know it then. I would have told you I’d seen enough, but the reality is, a dong in motion is a hilarious thing to behold, and furthermore, men have tiny little butts that are also hilarious to look at. So, to you…

Wexler. Family name or not, your friends are assholes. But, I loved watching you in the long jump.

you asserting your value as a human being and as a woman is erasing my cis womanhood!!!!!

Completely agree with your post.

And currently, my opinion is supported by the medical establishment.

Step 1: Completely reinvent myself as a woman.

This is copied & pasted from the “Why is Smith a Women’s College?” portion of the Smith website. I think it speaks very eloquently to the advantages that can come from choosing Smith (or Women’s colleges in general) over a coed institution:

Or maybe that’s alarmist bullshit.

The financial crisis of 2008 explained in one internet comment.

Man, he’s gonna be pissed when someone reads this article to him.

There’s an adage that’s useful in distinguishing the difference between someone who has been given some manner of misogynistic fetish and someone who is just plain transgender:

A fetish involves how you want to go to bed with someone. Gender identity is about what you want to wake up out of bed as. Daily living is…

Trans people aren’t an unknown phenomenon. She could have googled Trans 101 in less time than it took to write that and said something that didn’t come off as massively ignorant. Treating us like lab rats that can’t just tell you how we feel is offensive and the speculation makes it seem like trans people are objects.…

Alright, dear; since I love you despite my scathing break-up letter over your choice of imbibable, alcoholic suds I am going to be sweet about this instead of just tearing your head off. You are outside of this a sage and I should have listened to you about the rabbits. If a rabbit got the chance, it would eat you and…

Don’t you understand that back in the 1970s there was a particular narrative that trans women had to conform to in order to be approved for transition? Including being attracted to men (we wouldn’t want to create lesbians, after all!), always wearing skirts or dresses (because if you show up in pants you’re not…

IBM’s computer thinks in chocolate and vanilla. Sometimes what it knows is chocolate, sometimes it’s vanilla, sometimes it’s a swirl. Sometimes, though, the swirl melts; then you have to decide if there was more chocolate or more vanilla in that puddle. IBM just hired a fat kid that can tell the difference.

Especially considering there’s no talk of her (or anyone else with similar powers) having done this in the past in the current timeline, meaning either nobody’s ever confronted current timeline Iceman about his sexuality, which seems unlikely since Jean and Xavier in particular are such meddling assholes all the time,…

I like the cut of your jib.

What happy alternate universe do you live in where this is not only accepted school conversation but respectfully and constructively discussed by students?

Agreed. We had a discussion about this in my class the other day. My students wanted to refer to him as “her” (this was during a discussion of LGBTQI representation in the media, pre-interview). I stopped them and said, “Until we hear from Bruce on this matter, we should continue to use male pronouns as he has used…
