I will tell you my mind isn’t completely closed off to it, but I need to get her (and me for education and counselling) into the program and talk through everything in depth with specialist. Luckily she currently passes, but who knows what full puberty will do.

That was my thought about the blockers as well. I mean if you’re going to do it, you should start at 10 or 11.

I was beginning the process when my insurance was yanked, but yes I have been directed there and started conversations. There are a lot of resources here. My big thing last year was getting her total bathroom access at school, which worked - having a single bathroom she could use at school had acedemic and emotional im…

One, they won’t offer blockers to anyone under 16 here, but the other issue is tissue. The other issue is that blockers are expensive, I don’t mean 100s of dollars expensive, Imean if not covered by insurance, prohibitively, just dont have the money expensive. Could buy a house expensive. Because even though when…

One thing I’ve done is not get blockers for my daughter because of the tissue issue. She’s also too young here. But we’ve discussed it and when I explained my reasoning, she understood, but still wasn’t thrilled. Her body dysphoria is difficult for her.

This terrifies me, evetything about bottom surgery terrifies me. My daughter is 13 and trans. She’s known since she was 3, at last that was when she first told me she was a girl. She socially transitioned at 11. If we can get the bigoted assclown out maybe things will improve by the time she has bottom surgery.

I didn’t read that. Iread it as blaming staffers ( if you stand in one place, yada yada.) I thought the “you’d have to ask other people” was more of a no-comment comment. The end where she expressed her one time love for Ellen wrapped that up neatly.

Yup. I also think, asking for someone other than her father - it’s probably healthier for her to have people that aren’t her family do this.

I’m unsure what I think about her, and the podcast didn’t help.

Excellent point and she has such a huge following that her voice can make a change. 

This and the Bella Hadid story a couple of weeks ago is click baity misogony. Also, and damn it I hate defending Swift because she kind of annoys me, she came out before this - in June in support of BLM and donated as well. This makes it sound like she bandwagoned on this. It’s misleading, lazy, and *unty reporting.

Okay Grandma. She’s clearly not cancelled and if she was, who cares? And seriously, I’m a mom with a trans kid on the spectrum. What I do to advocate would exhaust your bitch ass. Go crawl back up Cardi's ass.

I knew they used to be sble to. I’m old enough to have been around when rap was concieved and grew up in SoCal when rap, metal, and grunge were huge. Most of what I've heard in the last five years or so is nuetered, sexy, or just about the money. So I am clueless. 

Did he brag about it, like it gave him street cred? No. He didn’t even admit to it and he wasn’t charged. I stand by my statement. I do not think any of the men you mentioned would get away with bragging about drugging and robbing women. I think people think it’s “funny” and “cute” that a woman did it, and that the…

She’s come up in what? The last three years? Do you see a man right now getting a pass for drugging a women during a sexual exchange? Because whether they had sex or not it’s still an exchange, and robbing her and then bragging about it, getting a pass? And Takashi is not getting a pass from everyone. Niki supports…

I get that. And to be real, it’s a joke I know I’ve made about other people in the past five years and before. It can take a while to recognize old ways of thinking, that we used to think were acceptable, never were.

That's a solid transphobic statement there. 

While I’m at it, I’ve always hated that she gets a pass for drugging and then stealing from men while she was stripping. No man would get that pass. She could have killed someone, it could have hurt them in a lot of ways, but she didn’t care. And I don’t care that the men were seeing a stripper, as long as everyone is…

She did. Though her response, I’m bi so I can’t be transphobic is specious because we know transphobia exists in the LGBTQ community. Her rant that have we seen how homophobic the Caribbean is gives me I have a black friend vibes, and her identity as an openly bi woman doesn’t give her a pass either, because bi women…

Considering her stance on trans people and her colorist statements, I'm always surprised by how far up Cardi B's ass Jezebel is.
