We have plenty of those where I live because the legislature in my state believes that trans people are actual people. The problem is that other states don’t have to do the same, because the U.S. is a Republic. In my case, I would be worse off if the federal government got to make all the rules and laws. But because I…

Ironically, that’s the law in NC, which is discriminatory to trans people whose birth certificates haven’t been re-issued with their correct gender (because changing birth records and ID can be a lengthy and expensive process). It doesn’t apply outside of NC. The decision about how to treat trans kids is now back in…

The sad thing about Kellyanne is that she thinks that by employing the “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” strategy, she is part of their club. She thinks she knows some secret about how to be a successful woman that we don’t. But the reality is that the type of conservative men that she has aligned herself with see her…

Your conservative relatives have been in public bathrooms with trans people their whole lives.

I mean, no offense, I’m sure you’re awesome, but probably not all that remarkable. :)

True. I wasted a lot of words there, didn’t I? :)

There won’t be any, so that won’t be a problem.

There are a lot of cis men and cis women who don’t pass as their gender.

I know, and that’s why it offends me so much that the people who propose them justify their nonsense by saying that it’s for the protection of cis women and girls. I have never encountered creepy behavior in a public restroom, and neither has my (11 year old) daughter. I know how to scream and make a scene, and my kid…

My wife and I were just talking about this yesterday because there’s (yet another) anti-trans bill on the way through the TX legislature right now. We had the news on, and they were interviewing a trans woman who I would never have even guessed was trans if she hadn’t just said so. So my wife and I were talking about…

Initially, the school was on Gavin’s side. It wasn’t until a group of asshole parents complained and called him a freak during an open school board meeting on the subject that the school changed its stance.

I like boobs. They’re the main reason I’m a lesbian.

I agree. I think the noose is around his neck now, and he’s just counting the moments until it tightens. He’s trying everything he can think of to prolong the inevitable, and probably doesn’t even know what the people who are investigating him do or don’t know. At this point he’s just desperately throwing everything…

That one was also good.

This was my favorite Tweet of the day.

I lasted a whole 45 seconds.

Is it weird that I’m writing a paper on this factory and Nissan’s union-busting activity for my business and human rights law class? It’s due next week.

Oh, these poor kids...

This showed up on HuffPo today, and it’s a good take from a sports commentator in Texas. I can’t view the video at work, but from the written portion of the article, it looks like at least one sportscaster has it right.

I’m not familiar with that system. My BFF’s son is a HS wrestler, and that program is not co-ed. My daughter is a karate student, and she spars against kids of both genders. But karate in general isn’t nearly as focused on size or gender because the whole premise of it as a self-defense strategy is that the size of…
