Yes, agreed. I have a hard time believing there wasn’t even a more deserving transwoman than Caitlyn Jenner, and her support of the Republican party probably has done more harm than good for the trans community.

This all day. I can totally understand wanting to honor a trans woman, but there are so many others more deserving. I’m sick of Caitlyn Jenner, she can fuck off with the rest of the Kardashians.

While it is true that Caitlyn Jenner transitioned with privileges that far too few trans* enjoy, I think responses like Mr. Smith’s make it pretty clear that transitioning is still an act of bravery.

100% yes.

It can both be true that Caitlyn Jenner is not deserving of the Woman of the Year, and that this guy is an asshole for calling her a man.

What a stupid thing to say. And do, if you follow through on it.

You are thinking exactly as those terrorists are. Exactly. You are part of the problem.

I promise that their last thoughts were not on the animals who caused all this. It was thinking of the people they loved.

yup, you’re definitely insensitive, then. have a little more empathy for people who are struggling with a serious mental illness that maybe they can’t find the right medication or therapist/support system for and is causing a lot of real suffering in their lives. it’s not cool to make clothing that mocks people like…

all this tells me is that you don’t know anyone personally with OCD, and if you do they probably don’t like you because you’re insensitive about their struggle with mental illness.

Sometimes people don’t like me, sometimes people make fun of me or things about me.

Part of the reason it feels minor is because of all the mockery that has led up to this, completely trivializing a mental illness to the point where jokes about it have become, to people who don’t bother to listen to the voices of those hurt by it, boring and commonplace.

Exactly. The sweater is fucking stupid, but the reason why the sweater is made and bought and laughed about is the REAL problem.

I don’t have ocd, so it’s not hurting me in any way, but I have a fb friend I went to grad school with who’s pretty upset about it and I get why. OCD makes her life really hard in a lot of ways. Like when we were in school together she’d wash her hands so much that they’d be bleeding. Not exaggerating. When she got…

I understand to a point where people use language in certain ways and it is constantly changing (I’m just getting over the fact that ‘literally’ can be ‘figuratively’ now. Sigh) but this is the one thing I can’t get behind. It shakes me to my core.

It makes me even more mad to know that even if these people met…

I have those intrusive thoughts about my mom, and sometimes I feel like if I just touch something the right way I’ll keep her safe. Alternatively, sometimes I’ll feel I will have caused her ill by picking something up in a certain fashion and will have to “undo” the activity. I'll usually be able to overcome this with…

Word. I don’t have OCD (thankfully), but I do have PTSD with associated intense anxiety, and when the trauma was still very recent, I had some OCD-like symptoms (e.g. checking the locks on the doors of my home dozens and dozens of times per day. I would know perfectly well that I’d checked them five minutes ago and…

I’m related-through-marriage to someone with actual severe OCD.

I’m done being really offended with this and am in the BORED NOW stage. Seriously. Because every time I try to explain to someone why OCD isn’t funny, they tell me how they like their DVDs in alphabetical order which makes them like, totally OCD too soooo.....

Rage. Rage stroke.I want to tell him to try having…

So does Target require potential buyers to turn 12 times to the left, avoid floor tile cracks and go home three times to check that the stove is off on the way to the register?
