I would be able to discern more information about that article, such as when it occurred and who it involved, if you linked to the article.

I know. It’s such a precarious moral position with a complete lack of ANY receipts to back it up... at this point I am actually cheering for them to come up with a link, or a personal background story that makes sense, because otherwise I suspect that this person is either a) the female prisoner who filed the Ft.

I am genuinely sorry to hear that you have been threatened with violence by... trans women, as in women like me and you who were formerly men.

What were the context of the threats? It seems like you are describing being in situations where you, a woman, were around multiple trans women who propositioned you, and then

I do not claim to be an expert on women’s behaviour, but I am an expert on shit I would do as a woman. I was a 6'5 woman living in the same room with a crazy prejudiced woman who was coming at me about my body, I can imagine saying ALL KINDS OF THINGS to get her to BACK THE FUCK OFF OF ME.

Still waiting on *one statistic* on the rate at which trans women are raping other women.

You have one of those, right?

I’m looking for one, help a sister out?

Yes, but gingers make some people feel uncomfortable.

And that’s more important than the actual facts about it, am I right?

You know... We have actually come to a point of agreement. Clearly the solution is segregating the people in our community that make others feel uncomfortable.

I feel the same way about Gingers. They should all just be herded into like... one spot, all together, for their own safety and protection.

It’s not their fault

So this link takes a highly speculative journey exploring the stats of prison populations in England and Wales... with (I am reading this correctly, right?) zero reports of rape or sexual assault by the trans population on their fellow inmates.

Still looking for *one statistic* that shows this is an actual threat,

This is not a statistic. This is a legal claim, details from a lawsuit repeated in a local newspaper. This appears to feature one transgendered woman who... did not rape anyone, if I am reading this correctly. She just really needed this one other “natural-born” woman to stay the fuck away from her in prison, and

How many woman have experienced sexual violence at the hands of men? Somewhere between 20% and 25%.

“I, a natural-born woman with a completely normal level of empathy and no internalized misogyny, am perfectly comfortable with putting another woman in harms way, in a fucking mens prison where she will be humiliated and degraded every day and *actually* suffer injuries when she is forced to use the bathroom and

Speaking as a woman who has asked for more money more than once, knowing what my male peers were making and being able to make a very cogent case for the value of my contribution being higher than my male coworkers... you are wrong when you say that it’s about asking for more money and no other reason. When you are in

I... can’t even believe this is happening.

...and this right here, this is why we have Trump.

Because people just love to roll their eyes at it and the people who watch or otherwise participate in its production. They love to call it trashy and unimportant.

It is a 21st century artform where the medium is genuine human emotion, and the artists are the

Hypocrisy in all forms must die from exposure.

The kids are not all right. The kids are fucking traumatized. The kids know that the adults lie and lie and lie, and they are about to become adults themselves... they are about to become fully aware of how easy is it to defer responsibility to the generation coming behind them, to the politicians, to the future, to

You get that the factor that you are overlooking again and again, to the point that you look silly is you are correct on the power dynamic, wrong on how it plays out here, because:

Male Director who has built a cult of power around himself

Female Star known for her work with him

Male Star who has built a cult of

Fun fact: The first season of Charles in Charge was a completely different family, mousy nerds who Charles helped bring out of their shells.

Season 2 started with the family being replaced with... another family with cooler kids. 14 year old Nicole was cast to play a sexually aggressive Lolita type, and Scott Baio

Guys, guys: The entire premise of Charles in Charge is an inappropriate sex joke, about how horny everyone is all the time, but that Charles manages to act morally and not molest the young women in his care.

Nicole was 14 when she joined the show, in a highly sexualized time and industry. She was getting hit on

I don’t want to argue, and I’m not trying to bully you. Of course who people are in the inside is more important that how they look. Clearly your frustration is rooted in true feelings of frustration and a desire to find a person who loves you for who you are, so I just want to take a moment to say I empathize and
