It’s heartbreaking because it’s such a commonplace quintessential rape story. The rapist gradually convinces her step by step to adjust her boundaries to accommodate him while she worries the whole time about hurting his feelings as she tries to protect herself. After he rapes her unlike most victims she’s actually…

This is the news item I deserved to wake up to today.

Remarkable how effective cops and their unions have been at convincing enough of the American public that the problem with policing is that the cops were the ones expected to take a few risks before. Now? No risk whatsoever is acceptable. Drive by shoot that 12 year old to death just in case his toy is real, search…

I don’t think you can opt out of all the benefits (or drawbacks such as they might be) from being a male in a patriarchal society any more than you can opt out of the consequences of being white or able bodied.

I understand you believe that a few years of hormone therapy completely alters the physical differences between men and women and it sounds like you have a very zealous desire to hold to that and that’s ok. I have not attempted to sway you from that belief.

I think you’re confused. It’s not your “fault” you don’t wish to engage or “explain” or “educate” or anything else- I posted something, you directed three angry responses to me, I responded to one, and you announced you didn’t wish to talk to me anymore. I said that’s fine. Because it is.

*shrugs* that’s ok. You seem pretty set in your opinions so I doubt it would be productive anyway.

Men on average are taller, have longer limbs relative to height and thus better reach, larger hands and feet, less pain receptors, have larger absolute lung capacity, denser bones, and heavier skeletons even excluding the debatable muscle mass issue. Etc. Etc.

That seems to go against everything most people who believe in feminist politics have been taught for decades. If everybody is socialized differently than its all a coincidence that women are less likely to defend themselves, argue for raises, do well in math and science, earn less, the list goes on and on and on. If…

Hmmm. That was interesting I didn’t know all that. I didn’t know there were so few ftm trans people, though now that I think about all the famous trans people I’ve ever heard of are mtf.

Men and women are in separate prisons for a reason, right? Chiefly because men tend to be on average faster, stronger, and better able to inflict significant damage in a short amount of time. They are in separate teams from women in the NBA, NFL, wrestling, boxing, MMA for a reason. For example, here the transwoman in…

I can follow the reasoning behind giving prisoners reassignment surgery and hormones if they want it that badly, what alarms me is the idea of people who were born and socialized as male in women’s prisons. If a prisoner received SRS would they then be placed in a women’s prison or in a protective wing for trans…

Laura Kaye, A.C. Arthur, Kristen Ashley, Suzanne Brockmann, Farrah Rochon, Devon Monk, Marjorie Liu, Lauren Dane, Courtney Milan all have some mixed couple books though Singh is my favorite because she seems to be one of the most consistent in creating a very diverse world in each book plus I just plain love her…

She was my gateway drug into shifter romances and I love her for it. The covers ARE awful though. Elena in the Guild Hunter series is described in the books as this gorgeous brown skinned Middle Eastern warrior goddess and on the covers she looks like a white blonde woman with a fake tan dressed in pleather.

No mention of multicultural romance novels or diversity in romance novels should be permitted in any article, ever, without mentioning Supreme Goddess Nalini Singh. I decree it. I wish there were ten more of her.

“At the time, Wilson refused to talk about the tragedy, but his family knew that he was struggling: he started skipping school and hanging out with troublemakers.”

Something tells me you are being a bit disingenuous, there was a one foot difference in height, massive differences in muscle mass, hand and feet size, etc between you and the other girls in your team that is perfectly comparable to this photo? I am willing to admit I might be wrong but I am ok with risking it - why…

It seems far more common for a transwoman to go from being middling competing against cis men to dominating sports against cis women than it for transmen to do the same thing in male dominated sports.

Not the point obviously, but where does a dentist get hundreds of thousands of dollars to play at big man this way? Is it really that profitable a profession?
