Fuck off with your “larger brain” and your lame attempt to demonstrate that males are superior. You know a whale’s brain is much larger than yours, right? It’s not size that matters, it is how it functions (yeah, same story as with dicks).

omg you guys I’m sorry I had to ungrey this person just because I cannot stop laughing at this comment

I love you so much right now.

But how does the experience of gender-based oppression come into play there? That’s where I think the issue is, and I feel like it constantly gets brushed aside by both extremes, either in a transphobic “they’re not women/men” way or in an over-correcting “gender identity is what you believe it is and there’s no room…

I’m not going to disregard the intrinsic humanity of trans people just because the person screaming hate at them happens to be a woman.

As someone who identifies as gender fluid/agender, your insinuations are troubling. I was born with a vagina & uterus, but the “me” inside, as it were certainly does not identify exclusively with the female gender, even though most often I present as “female”(though not always). I have dated trans women, I have many…

Get out.

So of all the social contructs that you swim through, that you breathe in and out in your everyday life, the one you can’t accept is gender identity. Not money, not race, not class, not countries, not politics, not authority, not rights, not religion. Gender identity. Because it’s a social construct, so you interpret…

Intersectionality revolves around recognizing axes of privilege. Since she’s denying that trans folks lie at the less privileged end of a gender identity axis, and as far as I can tell doesn't agree such an axis exists, she's either a shitty intersectional feminist, or not one at all. The two are not meaningfully…

“Then Julia’s daddy explained that Elmo has language difficulties. So, you know, we’ve all got our shit.”

That’s why it’s call a spectrum. Some kids understand better with fewer words. Some children also need to hear repetition.

Not sure why that arouses your disgust. My son is on the spectrum, and that is exactly how to best communicate with him. Reducing the number of words parses the message down to its bare bones and eliminates the distraction of extraneous words which distract him (he latches on to interesting or unfamiliar phrases, and…

Because the logistics of being able to have a puppet with the capability for the manual dexterity required to sign would be unbelievably difficult?

No, I think that realizing you Killed someone is going to be more disturbing than anything else. You were focusing on the, “ew, diddled, a dead-o,” and I’m thinking it might be more, “OMFG, I KILLED HER!?!?!?!” First and foremost. One would hope.

Lookit. It’s a weird thing to think about, and the truth is that most of us prolly haven’t thought much about it. But, consider raping someone who is passed out vs raping someone who just died seconds earlier. It probably isn’t much different. I don’t know why you are insisting on there being a vast difference.…

Frankly, I find necrophilia rape less distasteful than unconscious rape because the victim isn’t going to wake up and have to deal with the horror and trauma of the rape.
