Lord help me, my 10 year old daughter is so picky, any new options are welcome. I’ll have to check it out.

My response to men like that is usually something along the lines of, “you need to quit projecting. Just because you treated women badly when you were a kid doesn’t mean all young men will do the same."

My trans partner, who was not yet living as a woman full time but was growing her hair out and wearing earrings and women’s sandals at the time, got creeped on in a washroom by a man last summer. After he was done, he lingered around in there and stared at her while she was finishing up.

Excellent point also. A lot of this is simply rooted in good old fashioned sexism. Many men can’t help themselves when faced with an opportunity to toot their horn about how they protect their daughters. Like the ones who threaten to sit on the porch with a shotgun when their daughters reach dating age. How about…

And yet trans people are the huge public danger in their eyes. The irony is making my eyes bleed.

I think that’s where the blatant violence in their arguments comes from too. That butt trumpet who responded to Cruz’s tweet is an example, and I’ve also seen it recently in response to the ACLU lawsuit, with people saying stuff like, “If I see one of you freaks go into the washroom my daughter is in I will fucking…

“I wasn’t brought up that way.”

Enh, what scares kids can be totally random and unpredictable. My youngest has watched all sorts of comic book cartoons with scary villains and stuff blowing up, but you know what scared her so badly she burst into tears? The giant baby from Cirque du Soleil’s Mystere. She saw a PBS special a couple of years ago and…

Oops. Sorry I missed that!

That story about the fight leaves out a key detail. As I recall, the reason Lovitz beat the crap out of Dick was because he made an off colour joke about Phil Hartman. He walked up to Lovitz at a party and said, ‘I put the Phil Hartman hex on you, you’re the next one to die’. Given that it’s pretty common knowledge…

If you were a child, and it was a gift, you are exempt from judgement.

I seem to recall coming across on social media a few years ago, a list from a used CD store dictating which albums would no longer be accepted. I googled and couldn’t find that exact list (I think someone just snapped a picture of a list taped on a wall), but here’s a similar, albeit shorter, one: http://www.gibson.com…

Maybe they could decorate it with all the copies of 98 Degrees and Spin Doctors CDs I see at every 2nd hand store.

That’s what we figure, and also that it’s going to be difficult to enforce anyway. But of course there’s still the question of whether in the future events for her organization should be held in places with hateful legislation.

So while this is hateful bullshit of the highest order in any case, this is also somewhat personal because my partner, a trans woman, has organized a major conference in her field in NC later this year (the city in question lobbied hard for this event). She’s obviously very upset about this, but I’m wondering if she…

But Snow?

There’s also someone who responded to her tweet by telling her she’s just used to being hit on by gang bangers and thugs (because she’s BLACK! Get it? Hurrhurrdurrh) . Because why not spice up sexist remarks about a woman’s appearance with some fresh hot racism?

I remember when I realized he was in I Capture the Castle. In fact, when I watched that movie ages ago, I kept wondering why the heroine kept going after Henry Thomas when that cute neighbour boy was 100 times hotter.
