Yeah I try to keep some extras at all times because my uterus has never managed to figure out that whole “regular monthly cycle” thing and has often subjected me to SURPRISE PERIOD at the worst possible times.

I confess, I never totally gave up the fanny pack. They’re perfect for things like Disneyland where I don’t want to tote my fucking purse around all day.

It was a single occupancy bathroom though. Not a unisex multi-stalled affair. I think you have the right to expect no one follow you into a single toilet.

My grandmother tells me that when she married my grandfather, the law was that women could sign their own marriage certificate at 16. BUT ... guys couldn’t do it until they were either 18 or 20, I forget. So my grandfather’s mother had to sign it for him. Which she was not happy about, because she didn’t care for my…

It’s just that Bullet broke my heart. :(

Mireille Enos is freaking amazing in The Killing. The plot gets a little redundant but I kept watching it for her and Robocop’s back and forth. But you love her, you hate her, you realize she’s really good at her job but she’s still not a great person.

Are those blue loafer-slippers a “new” thing or a regular thing because I actually really want them

HAH that’s what I came here to say.

My husband only realized I was changing my name when we were filling out the forms for the marriage license. We hadn’t discussed it and he just assumed I was keeping mine. Which - it was my ex’s name, anyway, so no thanks.

I had some friends that combined theirs, but it only works for specific names. Jane Mango and Jim Steen can make Mr. & Mrs. Mangosteen just fine, but Allen Kozlowski and Muriel Heslop are not gonna have such an easy time.

oh man ESPECIALLY an ob/gyn. Be as clinical and professionally distant as possible, PLEASE. It’s uncomfortable enough already!

My cardiologist is like that. And he’s a lovely man and it’s meant to be comforting but it’s weird to me even though I like the guy. Stop patting me dude, I’ve been doing these tests since I was a toddler, I don’t need reassurance at 43.

EXACTLY. They think they’re going to “catch” someone who looks “wrong” and that they’ll know it when they see it. But the first time a cis person gets called out instead it’s going to be a huge national fucking tragedy to them. And it’s going to be worse for trans women because there’s all these “wrong” ways to be…

Actually, I now want to go to North Carolina, act “masculine” in the ladies’ room and then sue the state when I get arrested. I’m a cis woman, but I’m not terribly feminine and it would not be the first time someone’s thought I was a trans woman. I might as well use it for something.

If you love kids, do it. You won’t make jack shit though.

Yep. I taught school in Montecito, CA, the hyper-wealthy part of Santa Barbara. These parents were so insanely rich. Meanwhile I was taking an hour bus ride to and from the ass-end of Goleta every day.

oh my god, so much this.

My perfectly average heterosexual parents had: one bisexual kid, one hetero kid, one lesbian kid, and one transgender asexual.

Due to my unending crush on Jeff Goldblum, every word of this made perfect sense.

I was shopping the other day and I handled some item of clothing that had clearly been tried on by someone who was DOUSED in perfume. I couldn’t get it off my hands! Every time I moved I got a waft of this overpowering floral and it was GROSS.
