There are precisely two circumstances when it’s OK - even admirable - to misgender someone.

Language needs to evolve. ‘People who menstruate’ IS an awkward term. And finding a proper, simple noun to describe those people...means mainstream acceptance and normalization of all trans folk.

Goddammit, J.K! I love your books (the first seven, anyway; after that you just got self-indulgent). Here’s how this works: you have an ill-informed and stupid opinion. You voice it. The internet lashes back and punishes you and explains why you’re stupid. Then YOU SHUT UP. You don’t quintuple down and keep voicing…

You gave a good example. Thank you :)

Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words and support. I don’t tell my story for pity. I tell it so people understand why the “good cops” or “good soldiers” don’t speak up. It sounds easy to speak up when everyone around us feels the same. It is hard to speak up when your lively hood and social circle depend on…

god, I am so sorry that happened to you! Good on you for fighting! But don’t blame yourself for not being strong enough. You were totally strong to fight! Settling for your sanity and life is not cowardly at all. They set out to destroy you. I think you are a hero for fighting. hugs

I was in the National Guard for over a decade. I was the “airmen of the year” 4 times. I was the golden child on the way to greatness...

Oh, look, the irony of a guy who MAGA chuds would shout “GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY” at is an infinitely better American than them.

This made me a little teary eyed to see how this man opened up his home for others. This is America. This is the America I’ve known and I want, not all the other shit that was outside of his home.

Oh God, those Black Friday fucks...going full lizard-brained primitive in the name of buying shit speaks to a lack of reason that we’re better off without.

“Unscrupulous” is a matter of perspective. I don’t care to have the debate.

When it comes to Youtube, there’s one utterly vital rule to remember:

“I never thought I’d find a place that was “too left” in America for someone who was already very left to begin with, but here I am.”

Kind of funny, I live in the Bay Area myself. I like a lot of it, aside from the expense. And before moving here I thought I’d enjoy living in an area that’s super progressive, only to find that it’s actually become it’s own microcosm of the left where dissenting opinions get shot down with no discussion or…

Sex work is real work. No different than any other side gig.

Yeah, that man’s grave will be destroyed almost daily.

on his grave — first I will dance and then I’ll take a dump ... and then I’ll skip off and gonna do the same on so many other GOP has beens.

“Redmon is “working on a tell-all memoir.” At least we now have something to look forward to!”

Honestly, a lot of these just sound like people settled for a partner whose presence they could tolerate with breaks, but now that they’re forced to spend more time with them, shit is hitting the fan.

My wife, our son, and I each have our own copy of the game. When we started today, we wanted to make sure we each had a different starting fruit. My wife got to her island first (just barely!) and got oranges. She was pleased with this result. Moments later, the camera pans over my own island... oranges. With an…
