"Born a biological male, Nicole was identifying as a female at the age of 2. By the time she was in fifth grade, she had a female name and used the girls' bathroom, with her school's full support."

yes, but how are they "identified" as boys and girls? what is that classification predicated on if not their sex or their perceived sex? How else do you become aware of the "differences between boys and girls" or "hav[e] a sense that males and females are different"? is it not because there is something that marks…

I am fully aware of gender identity disorder, and I understand sex dysphoria. I just don't understand how one can identify as a sex. I get how you can dis-identify with your own.

being male or female i get, but being a "girl"? What does that even mean? Being a girl is culturally, class, racial, ethnically, time-specific, right? So the only way you know you are one is because you are TREATED like one?

um, i'm pretty sure medical science would find her to be male. there would be no "trans"ing if she wasn't, right?

How, exactly, does one "identify" as a sex?

um, you totes didn't say "bigger" girl. you kinda decidedly drew attention to her being "big":

I'm sorry, you think Lena Dunham is a big girl? Really? As pointed out below, she is a SIZE 8. In what world is that a "big girl"? That's not even faux plus-sized big girl.

I don't understand why you keep repeating this? I agreed with you in my first post. Isn't that the point of a comments section? That I'm expressing my opinion about this which disagrees with the article?

Also, I'm not using Toshi as a defense. I am mentioning that Toshi is a voice that is not given room in that…

um, did i either say that black people can't differ or that I think everything or anything Ani DiFranco does is "peachy?" No.

Wow. I for reals cannot believe this.

The "Caramel deLites" are just terrible. Terrible. I got a box once by accident and I took a bite of waited for an entire year cookie and spat it out.

By "Caramel deLites" do you mean Samoas? Because they changed the formula with the former and they are a faint shadow of the Samoa. And a frozen thin mint in August is everything.

They actually added weight to her hair. Go figure.

Um, girlfriend made 7 very cute, individual outfits (a collection, if you will) out of curtains. She could have made something cuter out of beer steins and hay.

It is like watching a jar of skippy.

Oh I am so not feeling Carrie. And since the dance scene with the captain and Maria was one of the first things that made me understand feeling funny down there, I will not sit and watch my childhood joy be destroyed.

Um, that shizz happens ALL. THE. TIME. They ruin people's lives and there is so little accountability, even when there are tons of Brady violations.

I am happily gay domestic partnered with ms. Sugaredpeas, I don't go for femmes, and I put Jennifer Lawrence on the free pass list for both of us years ago. It's not even sexual. I just want to go over on a Saturday and have an unplanned brunch into spliff into Streisand movie marathon into pizza snack all day besties…

OMG I just peed.
