I’m so, so sorry you had to go through that. I hope you can someday not have to deal with lawmakers trying to trivialize your experience and excuse the actions of people who are truly at fault for the pain and suffering.

Except a)nobody’s actually been conscripted in 40 years, so it’s pretty much a a moot point and b)men get raped in the military a whole fucking lot.

Yeah, I don’t know. I am a rape survivor and (trigger warning for anyone, because I’m going to describe some of lead up) one of the things that I very frequently still have nightmares about is trying to get away. He had picked me up and was carrying me upstairs and all I could do was grab on to one of the rails of the…

Oooouf. Not like rapists never use anything else, like a gun or a knife or drugs to incapacitate their victims or secure their compliance. Or like men can’t also be raped. Or that women can also be rapists.

I feel so sorry for her. Let me play her a song on a this tiny violin:-

The chances of this guy seeing the error of his ways, learning his lesson, realizing what an absolute prick he has been, and start respecting woman is basically 0. This man will be in jail again in his lifetime for some sort of abuse against a woman, or women. Whether he beats the crap out of a woman, or sexually…

I am an optimist at my very core. What can I say? I am giving him the benefit of the doubt. But I would not be surprised if it only takes three months.

As part of a lengthy parole, they should make him wear an ankle bracelet that senses the presence of women in his vicinity and broadcasts a warning. “I’m a rapist! Run away! I’m a rapist! Run away!” Then it delivers a dose of date rape drugs to him and he passes out wherever he might be. He must also carry a pack of…

Absolutely! I have always thought this too. It is so “ human” to expect life to be what we are, they thought that nothing could survive at the bottom of the ocean yet it’s full of life, the hot water vents would kill us, yet thriving, there are creatures thriving in tar pits, under that lake in Russian they drilled…

“This push for women to go topless in the 21st century is as strong as women wanting to vote in the 20th century,”

The fight against piracy hackers is a meaningless fight.

Really I think we’re seeing a parasitic action on a star that is changing its luminance properties. This is something we’ve never seen in science and why we look up at the sky in the first place. This is just a never-before catalogued natural phenonomon and that makes it really interesting! Also inspiring for those…

“Just isn’t relatable”. More like it wasn’t a show about or for trans people...it was literally Caitlyn being as narcissistic as humanly possible.

Ah, I was just being stupid w my comment, assuming you just didn’t type anything about handwashing.

I’m sorry that you feel uncomfortable when the bathroom is just as much for you as it is for me. I never know what to say, because I’ve never been in this situation, but I hope we as a society can progress so this…

It is. One of my personal favorites was a republican state senator from Florida who tried to pay a state trooper $20.00 to let him blow him. Crying.

I know that pointing out the hypocrisy of these anti-trans laws is important. They aren’t actually achieving what they desire, since transmen are still in women’s restrooms under this “biology” rule making the bigots feel unsafe.

There’s a meme going around that no transpeople have been arrested for doing obscene things in bathrooms, but three GOP congresspeople have.

No offense, but this argument doesn't help transgender women who aren't able to pass for super femme women. They're not thinking about the people who pass well when they make that law, they're thinking about the people who obviously don't.

GOP stands for Genital Obsessed Party, dontcha know.

I really really really want ladies rooms to start filling up with transgender men like Buck Angel. Something tells me that not too many of the supporters of this bill would be thrilled with sharing the restroom with this:
