Sadly it’s not even close for me. I once did a postpartum home visit to find that the infant had died several days before but the mother was still bathing and dressing the little body and frantic because “She just won’t eat.” I suspect this will turn out to be something similar. Grief can do some powerfully tragic…

I’m going to reserve any judgment until more is known, but even without more information this is completely sad and creepy. I fully expect this story to be exploited on network TV soon.

While a horrible and sad story (that I already had a chance to process after reading on Gawker last night), I do want to point out that Charles County is not Baltimore. It is more than an hour away.

I have done my one good deed for the year. I AM DRUNK WITH POWER.

Can you imagine the family and church pressure on those girls to forgive him and then never mention it again?

A type meaning vulnerable disenfranchised young women who are part of a marginalised racial minority? Predators seek prey that are exceptionally vulnerable and black women in America are certainly that in terms of sexual abuse and violence

I just looked this dude up - he has three other daughters by three other women - DOES THIS MAN NOT KNOW WHAT CONDOMS ARE?!

The antebellum photo is extra awkward, because Myra appears to be African American, usually it is just white people dressed like racists. It is weird that he got his black teenage girlfriend to dress that way as well, although not as weird as an adult banging a 17 year old.

It’s not that they had a transvaginal ultrasound. It’s that they were coerced into being classroom models, with a staff member making sexually inappropriate comments, and people “sexually stimulating” them bc to “help the probe go in” (even though that's bullshit, that's completely unnecessary). Like, they were…

I have gotten countless vaginal ultrasounds in the last 3 years, and not once have they EVER had to “sexually stimulate” me in order to get the scan. Like, at all. Like AT ALL. It would go right in, without anything inappropriate or awkward, beyond me apologizing that my body is always like, “haha no not again” and…

Is this actually commonplace? My best friend is in med school and for stuff like this (basically anything involving genitalia men or women) they have paid volunteers. Like people who literally get paid to be test subjects for them.

Dishonesty isn’t the best word, because its not done maliciously, and the way family members experience isn’t really malicious. But it can feel like all your memories with that person are suddenly off-limits. Because your brain is still trying to learn a new way of conceptualizing this person. I wish it were easier…

“Honestly, if she had been really good with it and understanding of it, we’d probably still be together.”

I never thought I’d see the day when I was defending the Kardashians but: they have lost close family members. Kourtney, Khloe and Kim all lost their father. He died.

It’s difficult to be supportive of someone who isn’t open about what they need. The Diane Sawyer interview made it sound like she divorced him because he was trans, which I thought was kind of an unfair painting of the situation. This made it seem a lot clearer, she seemed hurt too, that it took him years to be honest…

I mean, the difference is that coming out as trans actually requires something of other people in a way that coming out about sexuality does not. I mean, my sister came out as a gay man as a teenager, and it was like, well, who you’re attracted to is definitely your own business. I love you and understand that its an…

I was saying my sister is transitioning and my family has struggled with it, and you said you hate when family of trans people make it “all about them.” So from my perspective it sounded like you were saying our struggles are “not normal,” that the feelings that we’ve grappled with (grief, betrayal) are “not normal.”…

For someone with a complex mental health history, I don’t think its quite fair for you to pass judgment as to want qualifies as a “normal emotional response.” How would you like it if someone came at your mental health struggles in the way you just came after mine? Doesn’t feel great, does it?

Kendall isn’t a minor and Kylie turns 18 this year.

It’s particularly hard, though, when you feel very adamant about something politically, so it really stings when you feel like you’re doing it “wrong.” For example, being supportive of trans issues, you can think “Fucking hell, how hard is it to use the right fucking pronouns??” and then find out the answer is…
