Nothing says “I’m fine with this result” like “the voters don’t give me enough credit for how great I am but I’m gonna keep being great anyway.”

You’re always winning when you’re making up both the contest and the rules.

I think as of right now, the primary issue here is the fact that the police and media did not use the proper pronouns or name for her. Having her identity erased by them when she is unable to speak up for herself any longer is something that happens all too often to trans people that haven’t been able to legally…

Do you also get the most incredulous faces? Like WHOA I AM A MAN YOU SEE ME RIGHT?

In a similar but unrelated note, I now bump into men who walk right into my path instead of moving to the side as we pass on narrow sidewalks.

Post-wine texted this to the ex-husband who keeps contacting me

“Assault” is the correct term for hitting someone with a fucking hockey stick.

Aaaah, this. Poverty is a cycle. Sometimes it breaks people too badly to fix. But life is not a Horatio Alger novel, impoverished kids rarely get the opportunity to bootstraps! themselves into the middle class. Constant discrimination against the poor merely perpetuates this cycle.

Attorney here, working with families involved with child welfare. I represent parents and children, and all my clients are indigent. This is so incredibly spot-on. After six years of seeing addiction, domestic violence, neglect, all varieties of abuse, mental illness, and myriad other problems, it’s clear to me the…

Didn’t they tell you that I was a savage?

I am *cringing* watching this shit. Just when I thought I couldn’t hate Coldplay anymore.

It was monstrous how this whole thing was treated like a political football. I had to stop watching. There was something…

And that’s not even to mention Frantzen’s work on the discernment of clitori! Now that piece was...what? What do you mean they aren’t the same misogynistic asshole? “Franzen”? Yeah, that’s what I said! Oh. Ohhhhh. Well, are we sure they’re two different people? I mean have we ever seen them in the same room? Cause I…

My ex once called me after getting out of an elevator, he was upset that the woman inside of it had hugged the wall the entire time and had rushed out when it reached her floor. He couldn’t understand why, because all he had said was "Hello" It took a long time for it to get through to him that it didn't matter that…

I met a guy at a party recently. He kept striking up a conversation with me even though it was clear (to me) that I wasn’t interested. At first, he said “wow - you’re a tough nut to crack!”, then “you seem so reserved - it must be difficult to get to know you, but I want to try! Say, Tuesday night?” (I said no). A…
