Some peoples vaginal environments react weirdly with the strings. And if your cervix is straight ahead and the strings are short and the dick anatomy hits straight on, that can happen too. But mostly the strings are left long and wrap around to the side so there’s no exposed end to poke anyone.

Women are not all the same. We have the same basic parts, most of us. But you can have a different size uterus, different size cervical os (hole), one tilted forward, back, or to one size, resulting in a tenaculum (pointed metal grippers) having to wrench your uterus straight to visualize a straight insertion,…

Because you can’t consent to medical procedures when you’re impaired and they don’t have time to consent you, medicate you, and wait for the meds to kick in, as well as making sure you have a ride home and keeping an eye on you while you’re medicating.

No, this is more analogous to a woman taking a man’s semen out of a condom and using it to impregnate herself. It’s her genetic material, that is currently not a pregnancy, that she doesn’t consent to using to create a pregnancy. It doesn’t matter if you agree to relinquish child support or rights - it still belongs…

I just realized that when I saw her I was like - you’re far too old and out of touch to be an ambassador. And her ex is exactly as old and exactly out of touch and we just elected him to the office of most powerful person in the world. Wtf.

Being incredibly focused on one particular skill does not an expert in medicine (or anything else) make. Also, taking risks that more experienced surgeons turn down is not a mark in the column of wise. Some people jump off cliffs in squirrel suits. That doesn’t mean they should be secretary of fuck all.

It’s pretty clear that that asshole thinks that we were trying to save you, and that white people (men) are doing just fine. Because for him, living in a shitbag, racist, sexist, xenophobic hellhole is just fine and it’s a fucking favor to try and bail you out to fight for equality, the literal (supposed) foundation…

I’m so privileged. The worst thing this week is learning that I’m surrounded by white people who don’t actually understand that what we’re going through is a drop in the bucket. We are all citizens. We’re white (or perceived white). We are middle class. We’re educated. And still somehow so many of them DID NOT KNOW…

I feel that same way. In the last 3 days I discovered a dearly beloved ex I’m still close with is a trump supporter who dared to suggest I might be uninformed - mind you, this guy is someone I run circles around intellectually and he knows it. He does not follow politics and does not have any understanding of policy…

Whatever happens, this election is proof that we need more smart, awesome women in the world influencing others. There’s plenty for you to do here, if you want to.

I have had to be cold like that in the face of betrayal and though it’s hard it was exactly what needed to happen. I wish I’d stuck to my guns like you did. It took me several more years to get out.

What the fuck.

The honest truth is that if Hillary Clinton had a dick, Trump would not be president. A male politician with the exact same history and attributes would have been elected.

Black women. That’s what I said. Read.

I didn’t say it was easy. But it’s not impossible. And we have to stop acting like it is. We have to find a way.

White people do not get a pass. 50% of this country did not vote. You don’t get to blame the small percentage of people of color for this - they voted, overwhelmingly, for Hillary. Black women specificaly voted for Hillary in the 90th percentile.

I’m mad too. And I agree, we have to call out our relatives and friends - it’s our responsibility. So ashamed of us.

Perhaps the assholes that are baiting you need some “counseling” too? Be sure to note everything they say bc it sounds like you may need the documentation.

There are plenty of them. Google it.

Really happy to see all the protests. It makes me feel better.
