I was raised Catholic and went to Catholic schools for 12 years. Catholicism is a bigoted, misogynistic religion. Need I remind anyone that the Catholic Church facilitated the sexual abuse of thousands of children by reassigning and hiding pedophile priests? Those “outraged” parents should withdraw their kids from…

Ha! I was so thinking the same thing.

Thanks, Miss Mercedes, for taking the time to write such a detailed and articulate response. I wish you the very best of luck with your transition. You seem to be an intelligent and interesting person, and I wish you nothing but joy For the rest of your journey. Thanks again for teaching us something, and with…

Ha ha ha! My question is this: she had been arrested eight times before. Why in the world of the bride think that she would make a good bridesmaid ? Big fail on her part.

That’s awesome! I’m from Ohio and you are so right. Although I’d say, “Florida of the Midwest.” My bro lives in Florida, a place I call “Kentucky with a Beach.”

Unbelievably dark. The only thing that keeps me going is people like the ones who have posted here. If everyone went about their business after Trump was elected, the dispair would have ended me. Instead, millions of other people are as angry as I am and are determined not to let the US get sucked into a vortex of…

I’m so very sorry about your dad. Losing a parent is so tough. I hope people in your life are being good to you. Take care of yourself.

Ha! I just watched this episode last night! All those white emails...

Jello. Don’t forget all the freakish things white people do with Jello.

Fucking brilliant. I don’t want some old celebate religious dude dictating what I do with my uterus. I detest the Catholic Church.

That’s a great quote, am saving it to share. The idea that religion is a genetic trait, rather then something a person shoukd use their goddess-given intellect to explore and make an educated decision whether or not to be part of this faith tradition. or another. Any other approach is allowing yourself to be…

I’m also listening to the Scientilogy series on Oh no Ross and Carrie (takes all my strength not to throw my phone to the ground when Carrie starts her hystrionic screeching). I would be shocked if they don’t experience some type of backlash from the church for this. Have you seen the doc “ Going Clear?” They like to…

I guess the trailer parks finally got WiFi.

You said it, girl, loud and loud. Let's call a spade a spade.

For heaven sake, can’t you see what’s going on here? Opponents so have so much to torture Hillary with: Benghazi, emails, her husband . What stuff does Bernie have? Dead bodies buried in the closets? A history of affairs? Accepting bribes? I don’t think so. Something is needed because a clean politician makes us…

Could have been a book report. A+.

Are you a trained nutritionist? No? Then people should trust your advice as much as they believe what they hear on Fox News.

I’m so very sorry for your horrible experience. I hope you are able to find some peace and joy in your life despite such a soul-shredding trauma.

I second everything you said. I imagine being the victim, and the worst moment of my life was spread out over the Internet. How do you get over something like that?

I think that the name thing should evolve away from the patriarchal default and toward the aesthetic. If a couple went to have the same last name because of future children, they should simply choose the nicer last name. How many women do you know who gave up lovely surnames for ridiculous married names? I have two…
