As far as the reports I’ve seen, all women — I’d specify otherwise. But I went through that exact train of thought.

So is it ALL women or only cis women? Going that far is it ALL women or only white women? ALL women or only non-Muslims?

I find something off-putting about trains in Germany being segregated for any reason that does not take an individual into account.

YES

This makes me think that the justices don’t understand how insurance works. Full stop. You don’t buy insurance for specific medicines and condition. There is no “diabetes insurance” that you specifically buy on the marketplace when you need insulin. You buy comprehensive insurance and the company is gambling that more…

Do you know what would be awesome? If we completely divorced health care from the employer/employee relationship. We could have some sort of, I don’t know, single payer system or something.

because knocking people unconscious for no reason is dangerous

Yes, I have a bone to pick with some of the decisions the show has made about its female characters.

Sorry Khaleesi but it’s hard to watch Sansa’s rape scene and not feel like it was extremely gratuitous. The rape at joffreys funeral was totally unnecessary too. I think the show is kind of rare in that it has strong female characters with agency AND extremely sexist and gratuitous scenes of rape and exploitation.

What don’t you understand about this? They ARE part of the process. A horrible part of the process, but a part of the process nonetheless. And as a part of the process, they are something he needs to contend with.

No and no. Please do some reading. Bernie is helping progressive candidates all over the country. These fundraisers are NOT for down ballot races. The money primarily goes to Hillary.

Don’t believe me? Consider what has happened to the Democratic Party since the Clintons came to power. We have lost ground at every…

Many people allege this fund is being used to persuade (read “buy”) superdelegate votes from these states.

high priced fundraising dinners in general are bad. that’s the point. the american campaign system is disgusting.

I love how if a woman’s first instinct is to try to diffuse the situation (as it is for most women) that becomes ‘encouraging it’ aka flirting.

Also - what about women who have transitioned to men? Are they going to throw a shit fit when they are forced to use the women’s room, due to being born with ovaries? I feel like that hasn’t been discussed very much.

Don’t worry, those of us who live here will fight this tooth and nail (well, those of us who disagree with the bill, which should hopefully be a surprisingly high number).

It protects no one and in fact puts trans people at greater risk. They should all be ashamed.

Passing this bill under the guise of “protecting women” is bullshit. This is clearly an anti-trans bill and only makes their lives harder and does nothing to “protect” anyone. The only thing that’s happening in the bathroom is people USING THE BATHROOM.
