But according to the author, she noticed her baby “twitching” three hours after his birth. When, according to at least two commenters here, he should have been in the NICU as a matter of course. Is it time to call shenanigans on this whole article?

I'm sure that's exactly the way Kate Middleton does it.

Thank you. These backyard births sound so cool until something bad happens. My friend was 31, in a non-risky pregnancy and decided to use a midwife in a birthing center. After 16 hours of non-productive, very painful labor, her midwife threw her into the back of her Cadillac (for some unknown reason she…

Ooh, am I in trouble? Hope this doesn't go on my permanent record. Don't worry about flagging me, though. I won't be back to tangle with you idiots again. Enjoy the sounds of your own voices.

Well, I wouldn’t expect a person who lives his life in a fantasy that he wishes we all would buy into to believe true, real-world statements. My daughter’s two best friends are indeed trans, and whether you believe it or not, she has had the experiences I’ve described. She has expressed her hurt at being excluded…

You don’t like what I say because you want to dictate what a woman is. I didn’t dictate this - biology did. You can no more change that definition than you can change the definition of a cow. Your rants and insults are just a reflection of the fact that you will go to your grave knowing inside that are, and will…

Don't worry. You already are a real asshole.

Yes, anyone who disagrees with you has a persecution complex. No one but you has a genuine beef. We’re all making it up just to piss you off. Guess I'll sit down and shut up now, with my persecution complex that makes me think that assholes like you are attempting to silence women's voices.

If you think basic biological facts are bigotry, then you are the paranoid one. Sorry the world hasn’t worked out the way you like, but someone who does not buy into your delusion is not a bigot - they’re a realist. You are a mentally ill person, trying really, really hard to remake the world in your own image, and…

Flabbergasted. I tell you real things that have happened in my life and you out and out call me a liar. I don’t know what fantasy world you live in, where things are always as you say they are, but what color is the air up there? You spend an entire post telling me my experience is not my experience and then call me…

First, I am not a dude. The rest of your comment is so ridiculous, I don’t even know what to say. “Yeah, science. Fuck that shit. None of that is true anymore.” It must be great to be able to create your own reality, “dude.”

It’s really funny that you called me not so bright after you accused me of “literally” (I just love when people overuse the word “literally” - it adds such weight to their arguments and shows so much intelligence) ignoring your point about breast growth when I in fact directly addressed it. Gynecomastia is abnormal…

Really? You never heard of black people trying to “pass”? Or people like the late Michael Jackson, who had so many plastic surgeries in an attempt to look white that he actually demanded that the actor playing him as a child in some movie or other be white? I guess he sincerely and authentically wanted to be white.…

What a cogent, well-reasoned argument you make. Like, for real.

Yes, call someone a name and declare the conversation done. That's mature.

I don’t expect you to go through all these comments, but I mentioned the statistics above and I’ll repeat them for you. According to Breast Cancer Org, a woman’s lifetime risk of being diagnosed with invasive breast cancer is 1 in 8. A man’s lifetime risk is 1 in 1,000. So even if Caitlyn’s hormone-taking increases…

Yes, I’m an idiot and I’ve never heard of gynecomastia. It is considered an unnatural condition, and people usually sue if it’s been induced by a drug. I see the ads on TV for the law firms wanting to represent these people all the time. Just because in your case, it was self-induced, does not make it a natural…

Yes, I'm certain those are very common conditions and we should all change our language because of them.

You do know that the risk of men contracting invasive breast cancer is 1 in 1,000 vs. women’s risk of 1 in 8, don’t you? So, um, no. You are highly unlikely to know how that feels like. You have a literal 1 in 1,000 chance. You could look it up. You may continue your tantrum now.

You call shenanigans? On what?
