~~Trump will read the report~~ Someone will summarize the report for Trump, and his response will be “great! The hate and intolerance is working! Keep those anti-trans bills coming! Let’s make them as uncomfortable as possible!”

I’m so glad! Aren’t they wonderful?

Unusual name (to an American like me, anyway). Is there a story behind it?

He’ll get right on that.

Thank you for pointing out what I didn’t pick up on. I was just beginning to educate myself on transgender issues at the time, so there are probably a lot of problems with the essay that I simply missed. I haven’t reread it since that first time, and I don’t want to.

It may have taken me a bit longer, but at least we’ve come to the same conclusion: Rowling is full of shit.

I mean, why don't more people act like Dolly Parton when they get rich?

I often wonder this same thing. I wouldn’t want nineteen cars and a ginormous house. I know that nothing I could buy would be as emotionally fulfilling as helping others.

I read JK Rowling’s first (only?) essay on why she feels the way she does regarding transgender issues. It’s thoughtful, and partially based on personal trauma. While I still didn’t agree with her, I respected the fact that she actually researched and considered the issue, instead of just blindly lashing out at something that made her feel uncomfortable.

I don’t feel that way anymore. It was fine when she was simply explaining her feelings, but now she’s actively spewing hatred and cheering when people have their rights taken away. I lost any kind of respect or empathy for her years ago.

The buttmunchee deserves a treat for refraining from violence for so long.

For the sake of your sanity, I STRONGLY recommend that you don’t look for consistent logic in anything proposed/announced by any conservative administration, most especially this one.

There will never be a solution that satisfies (heh) everyone. I’m just glad that inclusivity exists in gaming, even when it’s done poorly or awkwardly.

The ladder one is my favorite.

I’ve often wondered why I was forced to spend my holidays with people just because our DNA had some similarities.
