I think it's okay to glorify someone who had a goal and stuck to it. She did what she wanted to with her own body.

Oh yes, the "I know how you feel" people... ugh. Thanks for your suggestions, I am trying my best to just let her feel her feels and be there for her (while my mom is running around like a chicken with her head cut off problem solving, ugh).

Pivot! PIVOT! PIVOT!!!

I wonder if Lance played anything by Crucifictorious.

OMG I remember my parents telling me about this as a child. I never went near a drain again.

Wow, that takes the concept to a whole other level!

"I legit vomit in my mouth when I think about getting boned by a fat dude. That's fucking gross." How proud you must be of your dude-like frankness. I think most men on dating sites would want to know this ugly, intolerant side of you or anyone else right up front. Let's look for total honesty right off the bat so…

i'm with you. i can't make a judgement on the pictures provided, though. i hope that's not all the camp is.

I saw this a few days ago in the news and had the same thought. Maybe makeup and fashion shows are just the most obvious non-gender conforming activities the camp offers, so the article focuses on that? I hope so. Kids should be taught they can have any mix of interests, traditionally associated with either gender,…

My theory is that it's considered worse for boys to act like girls because things coded as feminine are considered inferior. Whenever there's an article about kids and gender norms you get lots of women posting semi-boastfully about how they never loved barbies and pink shit and just liked to play with trucks and…

Considering the lead author of this study is from Brigham Young, I'm going to venture a guess that the teen culture in Utah is slightly different than that of suburban New Jersey.

That is very true. I can tell the students in your school are lucky YOU are there. Aware, caring people like you make such a difference! And what you said is true — the bullies miss out on real friendships. They don't how to have real friendships because their lives are so dysfunctional. And that is another…

You will pry my flip flops out of my cold, dead hands.

point out that since his kids arent involved, you have got this so to speak. If he wants to speak calmly with you at a later date, that would be acceptable. Im sure in his mind there is some unknown to you offense you or your child have commited and he cant figure out why you havent apologized profusely. My neighbors…

So this year has been nuts. I met Prince Harry. Before that we found out husband would have to be on testosterone replacement for the rest of his life because of one of his war injuries. We asked about baby making, so he was put on Clomid to boost sperm count so we could freeze and go through IVF. See, testosterone…

How do I burn this bridge as painlessly as possible?

Next time someone tries to scoff at the idea of "mansplanation," I'm going to direct him (or "her," but let's be real about who generally pushes back against the term) to this. A respected female politician filibustered her ass off, earning the respect of viewers nationwide (and maybe internationally) by speaking…

She was in the final third of her filibuster. You can't abort anything after the 2/3 mark. LET HER SPEAK.

"I'm twice as likely to not graduate high school because I was born in a country that doesn't provide reasonable child care to both teen and adult moms, so my teenage mother won't have the ability to finish her education herself, because to provide her with that ability might marginally raise the deficit.
