Finally, a school district is fighting for sanity.

Praise Jesus.

 

Internet opinion and all that, but transgendered people are estimated to be like < .1% of the population. So how does a school that probably at most has 1000 kids have 3 transgender students. Probably edgelords trying to be trendy.

20 years ago you never would have heard of this. But your mental illness doesn't mean the rest of us should be inconvenienced.

Agree one million percent.

 

I saw this on another GNR site. The guy simply said "Why Trump won...." and posted this:

I flipped through a bunch of stuff on that website...not too much worth noting, as it does mostly what it accuses the (always capitalized?) "L"eft of, which is being a uniform group of this, that, and the other.

However, this piece was good:

I made it this far, nothing is going to stop me now. 

 

We ditched the fam today and did an early dinner at a local buffet. I asked the waiter how  many covers they did on Thanksgiving, he said 3500!! That's crazy. He would do 200 on average alone, which is also completely nuts. That's just for a really nice local casino, I wonder what the Strip was like.

 

When we left the line wait was at least 3 hours. No way in the world I would ever wait that long to have dinner. Mashed taters were super tasty though, I'll give 'em that.

Odd.  But strangely enough, I find this less odd than Furries.  Getting dino raped is just a risk you take in the mesozoic.  Or is that victim shaming?

UPDATE: Peepocalypse 2016

 

So I'm at work last week and I hear an argument between a professor and an admin assistant and simply walk by to avoid being involved.  I had no idea what they were arguing about.  Turns out they were arguing about the new gender neutral shitter (aka "The Artist Formerly Known as the Fifth Floor Men's Room").  Apparently, since it's now gender neutral, any person using it is supposed to be locking the door, i.e. I should be locking the door in case women come in and don't want an eyeful of dong.  Why this would happen, instead of them using the women's room literally five feet across the hall is confusing to me, as is the notion that a trans-man, who we're told have been using the men's room forever without us knowing, would somehow be bothered by the presence of penises in the former men's room.  I mean, for fuck's sake, there are three wall urinals in that room.  Those are sex specific to all but the most talented of ladies.  The room is designed for multiple, simultaneous users. 

 

I suppose I could go in there, sit on the shitter, and try to fire an amazing arc of piss over the stall wall and into the urinals, after which I'll wash one hand in each sink. 

 

Or I can just leave it unlocked and scream "THERE'S DONG IN HERE" when I hear the door creak open.

Pink ‘Pussyhat’ Creator Addresses Criticism Over Name

by Julie Compton

(Editor's Note: This article contains slang that some may find offensive) [freedom78's note...HAHAHAHAHA...that's dumb]

 

The cat-eared "pussyhat" became the crown of the Women's March in January. Many saw it as a symbol of female empowerment -- and still don the pink hat weeks after the event that catapulted it to fame. But others believed the pussyhat equated gender with biology, making some transgender people feel excluded from the movement.

 

"I never thought that by calling it the 'pussyhat' that it was saying that women's issues are predicated on the possession of the pussy," Pussyhat Project co-founder Krista Suh told NBC Out.

Suh said that was not the knitting group's intention when it created the hat. She expressed sadness that some people felt that way

 

"I think 'pussy' refers to the female anatomical part, but it's also a word that's used to shame people who are feminine … whether they are men, women [or] genderqueer. And I think what it comes down to is that femininity is really disrespected in our society," Suh explained.

 

The Los Angeles screenwriter said the concept was inspired by outrage over President Trump's "grab 'em by the pussy" comment captured in a 2005 Access Hollywood recording. The symbolism is all about "pussy power," she explained. She said the knitters were frustrated that the most intimate part of their bodies is often used as a catchword for weakness.

"We want to reclaim that word," Suh said.

 

The Pussyhat Project created the do-it-yourself knitting pattern and put it online prior to the march. It spread rapidly across the internet. On January 21 — the day of the Women's March — cat-eared protesters poured into cities worldwide to take a stand for women's rights, leaving a sea of pink in their wake. In the days after, the knitters would see their hat on the cover of Time Magazine and The New Yorker. Suh felt amazed.

 

"It just showed how powerful the symbol has become," she said.

 

But controversy exploded around the hat online. Aside from getting criticized over its reference to genitalia, the knitters were accused of excluding women of color. Some of the hat's critics believed the its pinkness was a reference to flesh tone.

 

But the color has nothing to do with race, according to Suh, who is Asian American. She said the group chose pink because it is associated with femininity.

 

"My belief is that pink is considered a little bit frivolous, girly, weak, soft, effeminate, and honestly, I don't think it's the color, I think it's a code for women," Suh said. "And it doesn't matter what people wear, if it's a color associated with women, it will be mocked."

 

By embracing pink, marchers sent a clear message: "We don't care what you think," Suh explained.

 

"[Women are] given all these crap chores and hoops to jump through, saying that [when you've done them], then we [society] will respect you," Suh said. "I just don't want to play that game anymore."

 

The hat is a metaphor, not just for women who are cisgender (a person who identifies with their birth sex), but any person or group who can relate to feeling marginalized, according to the knitter.

"But I don't want to shy away from the fact that it does refer to the female reproductive organ," Suh said. "That's a huge issue right now. How can women's rights supporters of any gender… protect these literal reproductive parts from unfair legislation?"

 

Pussyhat: 'Dangerous' for Trans People?

 

Transgender professor Cael Keegan, who teaches women, gender and sexuality studies at Grand Valley State University in Michigan, is suspicious of the hat as a symbol.

"We know that any time feminism starts centering people based on anatomy, that gets kind of dangerous for trans people," Keegan said.

 

Keegan believes transgender people, like cisgender women, are fighting for autonomy over their own bodies, but feels their issues are often seen as separate and less important. A federal judge in Texas temporarily halted protections for both trans and abortion-related health care services under the Affordable Care Act in December, and many government agencies require transgender people to undergo gender-affirming surgery to have the gender marker on their legal identification changed, Keegan noted. Not all transgender people desire to have surgery, according to advocates.

 

"If people were really paying attention to reproductive rights they would know that in many, many states in the U.S., transgender people are required to become sterilized to change our [legal] genders," Keegan said.

 

Keegan said the pussyhat seems to send an unconscious message that only cisgender women experience sexual assault. But according to the Office for Victims of Crime, one in two transgender individuals have experienced this type of victimization.

 

"A lot of the reasons [transgender women] are attacked is because they do not possess that piece of anatomy," Keegan explained.

 

Keegan said it can be difficult to talk about these issues. He said he quit a women's studies listserv in January after some feminists sent emails arguing that reproductive issues only affect cisgender women. Keegan claimed one prominent feminist sent a hurtful email stating that "only women get pregnant and anyone who's pretending otherwise is deluded." He said he fears the pussyhat symbolism reinforces those notions.

How dare anyone suggest a vagina is unique or related to being a woman. Tampons in the men's room I say.
