Do you really think we didn’t give the same kind of scrutiny to Trump supporters who attacked protestors? If you have proof of Clinton supporters calling delegates who are going for Sanders and threatening their lives and the lives of their families, by all means, send the tip. They should be held accountable as well.

That final quote was pretty brilliant, and I give kudos to the author. “Yeah this bitch deserves to be threatened and she should expect this, but don’t give out my real name!” What winner.

You’re so right. If only she had let those Sanders supporters game the system in the vain hope they could get more delegates than the popular vote afforded them at the original caucus. If only they hadn’t shot down a petition to remove the rule about not threatening speakers.

Thank you for writing this article. It’s a really fascinating look into this kind of behavior, and it’s awesome to see a Sanders supporter examining it. For what it’s worth, I don’t think these guys represent even a sizeable portion of Sanders’ base, but I do wish some olds would get the newer voters together and…

This is about the people who think there’s any kind of justification for calling and threatening someone or someone’s kids. It’s not particularly about the convention, and nothing about it is slanted. The author herself is a Sanders supporter. If both bases don’t take a hard look at what causes these things to happen…

There have been a lot of advancements in recent years both for anti-depressants themselves and for pills to supplement the effects. Plus, your body’s chemistry changes as you age. It’s well worth looking into a better solution if the one you have isn’t working for you. Lexapor completely messed me up, and coming off…

I actually had that experience with lexapro. That shit can really mess you up, and coming off of it is a nightmare. I’d really recommend looking into other medications if you’re experiencing any side effects.

Work tangential to healthcare. The place I’m in the last stages of interviewing at is healthcare related but not healthcare itself and has amazing benefits because it needs to fit their corporate image to attract clients. Bless you, perceived social responsibility.

Legal, I think? There’s a difference between quitting and getting fired in terms of what you’re entitled to.

Sorry to reply here too, but I actually found those numbers for you as well because I was also curious. It’s estimated that between 2013-2015, around 34% of the transgender homicides victims reported may have been engaged in “sex or survival work.” It should also be noted that these hate-related murders are most often…

It’s not a tantrum. It’s history. Tranny is both a slur and something like a term of endearment within the community. It’s a bit like the word queer. We sometimes say genderqueer to describe gender non-conformity. If a straight person were to call someone a queer, the connotations aren’t very nice. The whole idea is…

You seriously believe Benghazi, Whitewater, and Travelgate? For real?

It’s waaaay better now. Most of it’s automated. I had to go to the DMV twice recently for car stuff and I was in and out in 20 minutes and it was a relatively busy day.

Have you been to Midway? Trust me, it’s not the people. They really do just take that long and generally only have 3 scanning lanes open, even when the lines are this size.

I can definitely tell you for Midway and O’Hare, this isn’t the main issue. It does happen, but the real problem is that they rarely open the express lane, or if they have one it’s just a different line and not any faster, and they never have enough checkpoints open. They’ll have a 60+ minute wait but still have only…

So just so I’m clear here, the best way to protect people is to stop anyone who doesn’t look man enough or woman enough and say, “You look like a sexual predator. Get out.” Kind of like, “You look like a black man, and black men are theoretically rapists, so go use the colored bathroom” right? You’ve seen the video of…

So you’re saying that the only thing keeping some sexual predators from raping women was the little sign on the door? You’re aware that these crimes happened well before these laws, right? And that since these laws aren’t enforceable, there’s no way to actually use them to prevent a crime. Seriously, the only thing…

I’m telling you that the justification of your laws, which directly discriminate against a group of people, have no basis in fact. Again, do you know how difficult it is to claim you’re trans? Have YOU ever tried to legally change your name or get a breast reduction or augmentation? Let me tell you, it’s a trip.

I’m not seeing how gender identity laws make it easier for criminals to comment sexual assault. Could you explain? I don’t know of any research that suggests barring transgender people from a population decreases sexual assault. I do know that transgender people are more likely to be assaulted in public spaces.

Okay! Studies that show transgender people are born with brains similar to the gender to which they identify, specifically in pre-hormone therapy groups: Rametti et al. (2010), Garcia-Falgueras and Swaab (2008), and Kruijver et al. (2000). I can quote them for you, but I think the best summation comes from Goren…
