Awesome article Maddy

It’s fine, just wanted to add a depressing personal anecdote to back up the piece :P

Rich, this reads like gay Holden Caulfield.

I’ve had other veterans tell me that I don’t deserve respect or dignity (sometimes very hatefully) despite my six years of honorable service, because I’m a transsexual woman.

God, how do you make me love boxing again.

You should understand that the intelligence apparatus is seen as elite, snobbish, and creepy to the average infantry or marine grunt. Please do not fool yourself into thinking that a large portion of the rank and file military are not secretly in love with Trump’s posturing against “terrorists.” While I do think that…

Marry me

Further, I feel like we’re ignoring the important issue here which is that this priest doesn’t think supporting transgender people is the Catholic thing to do. I’m really not sure why we would be “living” for this. This is quite sad, actually!

Really makes my dad’s favorite way to threaten me, “I’ll hit you so hard your great grandkids will feel it,” seem way more fucked up.

He just loved the feel ring.

I want to work in a research lab where I discover new and interesting ways to call people rapists.

(I 100% agree however, that a woman should not lose control of her body during a birth, she should have more agency in that situation, not less)

I transitioned genders just so they couldn’t call me back up, then Obama had to go and ruin it with all his transgender inclusivity in the armed services bullshit. Fucked again. I probably won’t even get to finish my fucking college degree with this goddamned GI Bill before the draft happens to fight the Chinese in…

What’s absurd is that this dialogue serves as a distraction, it seeks to criminalize a group of people for nonsense, and distract from more pressing issues. Trans people’s core issues are healthcare, wealth inequality, and housing, which affect trans people severely and everyone else completely. Changes that help…

Debating someone’s internal state is meaningless. It’s pretty obvious that Caitlyn Jenner doesn’t speak for trans people, and she and every other Trump voter can only be judged by their actions, which have thus far been not-very-good.

I’m gay also, and I argue with my Jesus-loving mother by learning to speak her language.
