Omg, this reminds me of the craziest fucking lady I ever waited on. So this lady orders a burger and asks for it well done but with absolutely no charring on it. She says if there is any pink or if there is any char on the outside, I will be wearing it. So, I relay this to the cooks, who look at me like I’m crazy.…

Having spent 7 years working in a steakhouse, I can attest that there are exactly two kinds of adults who eat steak like this:

Throw yourself off a pier, bigot.

throw yourself right back out of the arena because your transphobia is not wanted here, bigot. especially in the comments on an article about a woman’s murder. how fucking insensitive can you be? fuck off now.

Let’s not forget that this is a woman who sued Howard University for “discriminating” against her because she was white.

What she did / is doing is shitty, but so is homelessness. I hope she finds some way to save her apartment and get some kind of job, for her kids’ sake at least. No one should be homeless.

The level of unthinking schadenfreude in this post and in the comments is frankly making me uncomfortable.

I take no joy in this. Despise the woman but I do feel for her children who never asked for this.

going back to being white?? You are white dumb dumb

Seriously. It’s part of Jez’s mission to point heinous shit like this out and that’s what they’re doing. People who need to question the reporting on this completely miss the point of why it was reported on.

There are a lot of concern trolls hanging around here.

I guess because in reality he has every right to compete?

Because he wanted to wrestle. He wants to compete. He would much, much, rather compete against boys, but if he’s told it’s either wrestle against girls or don’t wrestle, I don’t think it’s a crazy choice.

Yeah, there’s no point even discussing this if your core stance is to reject the right of trans people to exist in the first place. This society makes reasonable accommodations for a huge variety of choices humans make that they don’t “need” to survive, because part of a working civil society is not being complete…

Except his testosterone injections do not make him ineligible to compete. So the issue isn’t ‘does the testosterone give him an advantage?’ The entire issue is they just won’t let him compete with men.

But he needs the testosterone. He’s not randomly asking to be able to use a PED.

This is some next-level mental gymnastics going on. Obama somehow orchestrated UIL’s pigheaded refusal to acknowledge the possibility that a transgender student would want to compete in his or her gender, to somehow bring about the downfall of America, all after he has left office?

All the blame/anger about this story seems to be directed at the wrong target. He didn’t want to compete in the girls’ league. So blame the league, not him. He has a right to play, and they backed him into this corner. It really does seem to be about transgendered people’s right to exist, yet again.

Read the appalling comment section on the last-linked article (from the Star-Telegram, whose reporter has done good work on this story) AYOR. People are fucking terrible.
