This isn't 'girlhood'. Girls are female children. This is an adult male.
There is NOTHING wrong w males wearing makeup. Look at David Bowie, Boy George, Prince.
You can promote your products to males (there's a market!) w/o alienating females. Wouldn't that be more inclusive?

'Lia' doesn't give a shit about 'the trans movement'.

I was insanely jealous of my brothers because they could pee standing up. I wanted to pee standing up! I liked their toys better, too.
I was lucky. I got to grow up a tomboy, into a very happy tomboy WOMAN (hetero, if it matters).
Thank heaven.
I'm not going to attach it, sorry, but THIS new narrative takes the cake.
"'Cis' women often have large clitorises that are INDISTINGUISHABLE from normal penises w/o close inspection.
They are often beaten up by other 'cis' women who mistake them for trans."
Holy shit.😳

You... actually re-worded RBG. Holding her up as a champion, while stabbing her in the back, and she's not even alive to protest.
Every time I think ACLU has reached ethical bottom, you dig another level down. I actually donated to you for decades. Unbelievable.
@babybeginner
Remember that other couple - the birth mother played 'father' & the man played 'mother'. He desperately tried to breastfeed but could not produce 'milk'.
The poor newborn would 'latch' and GET NOTHING.
They said "It's okay. We're supplementing with formula".
SUPPLEMENTING?
@JohnLewisRetail
But wait. Your ad was designed to make it clear he IS "wilfully damaging his home" in a rampage. That it is very much intentional. And that he is not having fun (nor is his family). Nobody's smiling. Throwing things in order to break things is not "dancing'.
Didn't you watch it?

You know he's is a man. He knows he's a man. Everyone knows he's a man.

I was not just a tomboy. From the time I was a toddler, I told everyone how much I wished I could be a boy!
If someone had told me I COULD be a boy, I would have begged for it.

Males have all the access to male privilege, and then occupy women's spaces. We are required to 'validate' them. In many cases, they are lauded as 'stunning and brave' - and even get Woman Of The Year awards.

You could delete all of that and just write "I didn't watch Chappelle's show so I really don't know what he said".

WHAT is so complicated about the simple reality: Periods require having a uterus. No uterus, no period.
The fantasy is dangerous. Someone has abdominal pain & no uterus, labeling it 'period' & popping Midol - this is gonna kill someone. Something else is wrong.
It's is happening (FINALLY). The story Netflix will NEVER tell. Or Rolling Stone. Or any Penske Media. But hiding & warping reality doesn't erase it.
This is $12.99 USD for both parts & I sprung for it & just finished Part 1. Worth every cent. I'm serious.

I'm relieved to hear that. He's going to be under a lot of pressure to do 'appearances' - I hope he knows he can (& should, imo) just take time off, out of the spotlight. Be with his family, process & 'come down' from all this, start healing.
I wish him all the best. You too.
@FemCondition
You NAILED it. And her Appeal is frightening. They want to set precedent, that if someone 'felt' abused (or says they did) then they WERE abused & are now free to ruin someone's life, and that person has no legal recourse. An extremely dangerous 'get out of jail free' card.

We were only allowed a max of 10 ppl at a gathering (party, funeral, etc). All must be social distanced.
Unless it was a protest. Then the limit was 100 ppl. No social distancing required.

Dave helped & mentored Daphne, and tried to boost her career.
Y'all, on the other hand, mobbed & bullied her until she jumped off a building.
So tell me more about "supporting the trans community".
I never thought to see this in my lifetime.
Homophobia is back, worse than I ever remember. Gay ppl are assaulted & called bigots & pervs in need of conversion therapy - because they don't want to fuck someone of the opposite sex.
This is WRONG.

Depp is photographed w red Solo cup in hand. Headlines: "He's ready to PARTY!"

When someone says "Give me X or I'll kill myself" - then, by definition, X is 'life-saving'.

The male who dressed as a woman & became HEAD of that rape shelter in (I believe) the UK could have devoted his energy to trans shelters.
Instead, he announced that victims who objected to male presence would be 'challenged' IN THEIR THERAPY.
It's perversion & it's evil.
Annnnd HERE is why AH's anti-Depp campaign has been working overtime recently. From hit piece podcasts to AH herself pap-walking the streets of Madrid... again...

@SiameseAbby
I can't remember who it was (someone must remember!) a 'transwoman' on a podcast(I think?) who suddenly had a deep manly voice.
He had to admit he normally uses some kind of sound adjustment for a 'womanly' voice & it either malfunctioned or he forgot to turn it on.

Oh for chrissakes. "Mommy" & "Daddy" are laser-focused on their feeeelings. Hello! They have a KID. I hope that occurs to them at some point soon.

They don't even have too "change gender" to "change gender". All they have to do is "feel like a woman" if they spot you in the gym & would like to shower naked with you. They can "feel like a man" again later. Gender is fluid, dontcha know.
@babybeginner
As for ladies rooms - we KNEW (until 5 min) ago that a man coming in was DANGEROUS.
Now local public ladies rooms have signs telling us:
If someone looks like they don't belong? Do NOT react negatively. Make them feel welcome.
(In other words: SAY YES & act like you mean it.)
@megynkelly
How about one word: 'transwoman'.
The space was added so they could say 'tall women, blonde women, trans women'. Types of women.
No!! Just like a 'tomboy' is not a type of boy, a 'transwoman' is not a type of woman.
Pass it on if you agree.

That one doctor saying no problem, a girl who changes her mind can always "get breasts" later.🤬
Apparently nobody is telling that girl once her breasts are gone, they are GONE.
Whatever she might get sewn on her chest later (if that's even possible for her) are not breasts.
I think I am re-thinking Obama. This is not easy. I practically worshipped the ground he walked on. I will never forget the euphoria, when he won the election. Maybe I have been seeing red flags & ignoring them, or maybe I am just seeing them now. I don't know.

@HazelAppleyard_
The most dangerous thing is:
The doctor refers him to the APPROPRIATE doctor to diagnose & treat him.
Isn't that what he wants? To see what's actually wrong, whether it's urgent, and (hopefully) treat him to assuage his suffering??
NO, he goes home & cries about it.

After all the fuss started I got curious & read a little of the first HP book. Got hooked immediately, devoured the whole series. It's fun meeting other first-timers who started at same time & for same reason I did. Business must be booming! She deserves it, too. Amazing woman.💕
Amber Heard is at it again, rehashing old scripts.
Dateline: She doesn't understand why she should have to PAY ($ she pledged) to be 'believed'.
Today: She doesn't understand why she has to be CRUCIFIED (for terrible things she did) to be 'appreciated' as an actress.

@jackappleby
As a female born & raised, inside & out, adult woman, I'd like to know too.
