Yes - trans kids have been subjected to horrific things in conversion therapy as well. I didn’t mean to speak about just lesbians as though they were the only victims. I had just read several first-hand accounts from lesbians about the sexual violence they underwent and was struck by that.

I didn’t include this in my original comment, but I was the victim of a “corrective” rape when I was in college in the late 1980s. I was a regular speaker on my college campus on a panel of gay and lesbian students about sexual orientation and what being gay on campus was like. A man from the one of the audiences I…

Horror film indeed - there are reports from the 1940s and 1950s of lesbian teens in camps like these being forcibly raped to “repair” their attraction to men. Electroshock therapy, physical and sexual violence - this is not just about brainwashing and gas-lighting teens, as bad as that is. The claim that the…

She got rave reviews for her acting in Orange is the New Black, and rightly so. She’s a good actress. The problem with Doubt was shitty scripts.

There is an intersex case moving through the courts right now. Sorry I don’t have a link at hand, but I just saw it the other day.

Every state is different about how they handle changing birth certificates when trans people legally change their name and gender markers. Some states don’t allow it, some states require genital surgeries ($100,000+ range, usually without insurance), some states require hormone therapy, some states just let people…

On the bright side, Netflix has real hard numbers on it’s viewership, rather than the scattershot data provided by Neilsen. So they’ll catch on really quickly that reality shows are crap and no one is watching them.

Maybe. It’s pretty easy to focus on the low end of one range and the high end of the other the way you’ve written it, and most people are going to land either low or high roughly in comparison to where they were on the other chart; depending on amortising of T into estrogen, you wouldn’t go from 30 to 700; your body…

You hit on a key point there that sucks for both him and the girls he’s wrestling - scholarship opportunities. Some of the girls are knocked out of potential scholarships because he’s beating them, and he’s knocked out of scholarships because he’s competing in the wrong sport.

I’m a trans guy. Normal female range is 30 to 150 ng/dL. Normal male range is 300 ng/dL to 700 ng/dL.

Yeah, I don’t want a graphic depiction of her death, which this will surely end on. I just can’t with that. I loved her so much and was heartbroken.

And he also looks remarkably like Diana’s brother did when he was young as well. Red hair is common in the Spencer family.

Looking forward to the live action Beauty and the Beast. Where trans women tend to identify with the little mermaid, us trans men often have feelings about the beast.

What was the roseanne tweet? She apparently deleted it.

Maybe if he were cool Batman and not grimoire morose hopeless hypocritically self-righteous Batman.

Was a Trump Server Communicating With Russia? From October 2016. Interesting article about communication between Trump and a Russian Bank

I’d guess the relationship was staged to try to keep him on track and diffuse the constant rumors that he was still doing drugs. She was his drug beard.

I was sympathetic when he died, but yeah, why are we still hearing about him in connection to something she’s trying to sell to me? I think not.

I don’t know. Lately I’ve been thinking I want to do exactly what Mischa did - just fucking lose my mind in the yard, ranting and raving about crazy stuff. The world is fucking off kilter and I’d like a break.
