In the ABC interview, Caitlyn said the kids were welcome to continue calling her “dad” because that’s what they are used to. Lots of trans parents handle it different ways.

Yeah, the fact that Lena’s sister is her most vocal defender is a point that the anti-Lena trolls just conveniently overlook.

The parents should have put him in juvie if he was under age, or jail if he was an adult. Not that hard to figure out.

Reading page 11 of the report that In Touch has - yes, it’s 3 of his sisters.

They were - look at the report; it lists the victim’s parents as the Duggars themselves.

As noted on another thread - they victims were his sisters, which you can figure out by reading the report fairly closely.

That link is some scary shit. I’m really sorry for those kids sent there, including the Duggar kids.

Dying to know what movie this was for, though. I wish that info would leak, because I want to put it on my list of stuff not to see.

Exactly - because of course everyone gets punished but the guy who is most responsible for the douche behavior. The guy who seems to think “I’m sorry” is a good enough punishment, and that he shouldn’t lose his office or face any repercussions.

That’s the point of the lawsuit, though. Doesn’t matter what their corporate policy is if store managers don’t follow it. Top down, the company is responsible for knowing all their managers know that rules and follow them and treat their employees with respect. They don’t get to advertise their HRC score without being…

I’ve never been able to get behind the character of Pat, even after re-watching recently. Sure there is a level where the joke is on the people trying to figure out Pat’s gender.

That is really cool. I hope that over time more relationships will survive when a partner transitions. The track record is pretty tough for a lot of couples. I think the separation rate is about 50%, from what they say. Stats are hard to gather in the trans community. My wife is going through a lot with my transition.…

Well said. My wife is going through this with my transition and it’s been very hard on her. My wife was pretty scathing at Kris Jenner’s “no comment” to the special, though. She thought that despite mixed feelings privately, the right thing to do would be to publicly support Bruce. I think that my wife might be less…

God I need a job here.

Cis women spend a lot of time and effort to learn how to appear feminine, from the time they are children. Many of them want to learn this stuff. I remember being given pre-teen beauty mags and having nail care sessions and beauty sessions with my aunts. I was taught how to put on makeup and how to dress and how to…

Doesn’t need to - Federal law says that taking photos or video in public is perfectly legal, and uploading to a secure server are perfectly legal under First Amendment law.

You can take pictures of police brutality against black people. In fact, you’d be a pretty awesome ally if you did - the police would be less likely to do what this asshole did.

I get her concern as a mom. But we need her kid protesting. We need me protesting, and you protesting, and her protesting, too. All of us need to be standing out there next to her kid, keeping him safe by standing up for him. That is the only way we fix this.

Actually, lots of men do just that without any relation to gender transitions. I had a conversation about it with a plastic surgeon recently while building a database of trans-friendly medical providers for my region. They work with trans folks and cis folks to do some of the same surgeries.
