I’m not sure how helpful this would be to you (assuming you don’t already know about it, anyway), but I thought I’d pass this on to you:

And if they were distinctive, they'd be able to get work without any of this 'diversity' stuff. The entertainment world is a meritocracy, and completely fair.

Okay, I have to ask. You quoted Venice311 stating that one of the reasons for the crime rate is the striking down of the law against living in your car. What's the logic there? How does people living in their cars have anything to do with crime rates?

So... this is Pepsi Next, with a new name and look, I guess.

Ah, okay. I would say, accept their sexuality if they tell you what it is, but don't assume you know what it is, until then.

I'm not Kat, she can speak for herself obviously, but as far as I can see you're fine and not offensive.

Also, makes it hard for the open-minded religious people. I know many people who have seriously bitter feelings toward all religion, because they've seen it used so badly so often.

There's no shortage of judgemental people in this world who claim religion means they "know".

This is true, conversion therapy means they'll get a different type of seriously shittastic treatment.

To me this sounds like the line I've heard from some Christians - "It's not wrong to be gay, it's just wrong to have gay sex." You know, the old "love the sinner, hate the sin" line. Unfortunately, many of those people are the same ones who'll talk about how all gay people are going to hell.

The use of "trend" and the talk of "instability" causing him to be trans seems exactly like the way people used to talk about gay people.

Here's the thing: with rare exceptions, prices go up. This will happen, whether minimum wage goes up or not. It's called inflation, and it happens just about every year in America. It's basic economics.

That is so amazing. I wish all parents could be so accepting, I really do.

Good! Gelato is so tasty. That does seem like quite a few frozen treat places for one tiny town to support, though...

They're spreading here in Toronto as well, and my biggest worry is - will they be the downfall of gelato places?

Wait a minute, you have Charleston Chew Minis, but not the regular (full-size) bars? That's weird.

Usually when I see screen-printed cake, it's just for display. I wouldn't want to actually eat it.

I think he's saying their negotiation strategy should be to threaten to kill them in an unclean way that will keep them from going to heaven, if they don't give up the girls. I don't think that would be convincing.

The way the original article puts in that stat is unclear - it could be for LGBTQ people overall, not just trans people. If that were the case, it would be lower but pretty close to US reports.

According to the study I found earlier today (http://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/upl…), 41% of trans people in the US attempt suicide. I'm glad to hear you never reached that point.
