Agreed. Everytime someone replies to him i think my eyes will roll out of my head. Remember what George Carlin said about arguing with idiots, people!

My understanding is as long as its intended to inspire terror, it counts. So if theres some sick fuck out there who targets schools, popular clubs, churches, a state legislature etc with the intent to scare people, theyd count because theyre specufically acting to make people afraid no matter where they are.

What he said is true of Christianity as well, isnt it? At least in my church we were taught that people are the church, not the building itself, the idea being that people would rally around a church member who got into a car accident or who was taking care of a sick relative the same way you would show up if the…

Absolutely. i belong to a lgbt group at my medical university and we talk about everything from safe sex to avoiding misgendering to getting out info about safe providers to provider bias to trying to balance how important their lgbt status is to the problem at hand (balance the need to screen for cervical cancer for…

Lol, sorry. I’m bad at words. Phone typing isnt my atrong suit.

Currently doctors receive about 5 hours of educatiOn on LGBT patients (which is a joke because most of it revolves around HIV training because only gay people get HIV amirite), nine of which focuses on trans patients as far as i know. Other Health professional programs get less (my program has 2 and this is the…

Lol, i should clearly read downthread before i comment.

youre being super overdramatic, but Im pretty cool with someone who sexually assaulted someone being sterilized.

At this point just assume im starring everything you write ever. +1,000,000

I agree with the above points, but also:

This. Xenophobia unites the republican base. An good economy where everyone has opportunity is what unites democrats. We need better messaging to tell what were going to do. Instead of MAGA we can have Building a Better America Together or some shit.

Good.

Also anecdotal, but one of my friends Met his boyfriend when they were boy scouts (both became eagle scouts) and hes now a very talented drag queen.

People drive like shit in this state. Like theyre agressively fast and painfullu stupid at the same time. God forbid you have the audacity to attempt to follow the traffic laws (like within 10 mph of the speed limit, not run red lights, etc.) because youll get called a bitch, dyke, or the persons racist slur of choice…

This is what will always blow my mind about us running her. I knew Clinton was fine. The democratic base knew she was fine. But moderates and independents who cant be bothered to do research had heard 30 years of stories about how she was literally the devil and it turns out we kind of need them to win an election.

I couldnt agree more. This election is the biggest lesson in whether people truly hold the values they claim to care about so strongly. Of course people who insulted the Obamas for years are insincere in their outrage about bringing children into the public eye, but it turns out that some of us who had problems with…

Are you me? The assertive part is what makes me feel so guilty I think. I felt like I wasn’t doing enough to say how I felt, but then I remember that she wouldn’t have listened anyway. You completely did the right thing too!

You’re completely right about the no contact thing. I’ve been feeling like I owe it to her to not just disappear, but after it only makes me feel worse every time I talk to her. I literally spent 15 min Friday night reassuring her that I wasn’t going out with anyone who even likes girls, when it’s absolutely none of…

Yeah, now it seems clear, but at the time hearing I thought we need some alone time, don’t you care about me, I could tell you didn’t mean it when you said you wanted me to come, I don’t want to be the only lesbian there (because apparently I don’t count), I don’t have anything in common with your friends/they don’t…

Thank you so much! I really needed to hear that. I already felt so out of the loop because I’ve never really dealt with close knit lesbian (I wish I could say lgbt but it’s like there’s no overlap with the LGBT here) groups and there’s all kinds of politics I don’t understand about having to prove I’m gay enough and…
