Even with gay people there’s still plenty of folk out there who think it’s a modern (or imported) phenomenon. And the various historical accounts, well they’re just isolated cases, not like our rugged ancestors!

As much as The Media is beginning to expose people to the idea of non-cisnormativity these days, I’m not sure most people understand that trans people have existed all along the same way that gay people have.

If the publisher’s description is accurate, the book isn’t even about a trans person, but a gender-nonconforming one. I doubt the bigots understand that or care to understand.

Wait, what about parents who don’t want to encourage traditional cis-gender values in their kids? Or parents who object to the constant pro-heteronormativity messaging? Where are the legislators who have their backs?

I totally respect the Hoffmans’ comment (and agree with them), but is that really the objection? Complaining about “normalising transgender behaviour” sounds less like they are worried kids will become transgender and more that they want to tell their kids or students apparently (complaints started with teachers- WTF…

My only regret is that I only have one star to give.

You obviously don’t know how 1) expensive even an 8 week pill abortion can be 2) inconvenient it is to think that women pop Mifepristone and Misoprostol like they’re m&M’s

I have the (unpopular) view that abortion is the termination of a human life

There is literally not a single human woman on this planet who would prefer to have regular abortions than a reliable method of regular birth control. This “abortion as birth control” woman is a right wing myth. I’m sorry you bought in to it but it’s just not real.

should be undertaken in limited circumstances with careful thought

See I don’t care if it is birth control. Fertilized egg is not a baby or life merely the potential. Don’t like abortions? Don’t get one. Stop trying to force me into YOUR choice. You made yours and I’ll make mine.

Comey was wrong to do what he did. But he wouldn’t have the excuse to do it if Weiner hadn’t been a creep and sexted an underage girl. Weiner gave him the opportunity to do it.

The New York Times has a reputation as an excellent paper but their coverage of Iraq War 2: Let’s Really Screw it Up This Time and Election 2016: America’s “Hold my Beer” Moment makes it clear that reputation is unearned.

Comey is responsible for Comey’s actions. No one else. If the Weiner laptop hadn’t existed I’m pretty sure he would have found some other way to attempt to throw the election to Trump.

If Comey is a neutral player he would have let the American people know that one of the candidates was under investigation for…

It’s kind of funny to see the twitter battle today, where the Times accused Clinton of under-playing the Trump-Russia connections during the campaign, and people replying that whenever she brought it up, the Times mocked her for doing it. Even Nate Silver joined the thread, linking to stories that validated his…

I’m of the view that it makes no difference. If you and Trump share and extremely rare blood type and he needs a kidney or he’ll die, the government can’t force you to use your body to save his. It’s your choice what happens to your organs even it would save someone else’s life.

You crafted a straw man (the idea that anyone views abortion as a casual form of birth control (they just fucking don’t, liar)) and then slapped it down.

(it really shouldn’t be just a casual form of birth control)

Really, what the fuck is this, even? You are not about to go around here like some Trump bastard picking apart the words and the actions of a victim, as if it matters to what happened to him. We don’t do that. They do that.
