Thrive to spite them

But this was in the early seasons. I stopped going to the chat room so...I keep wondering, did she keep watching through the end? And it wasn't just watching, but logging on after the episode to complain about how much she didn't like it.

I'm not really like that, if I'll stop reading a book - or I'll skip to the end. Or, more recently, look on Wikipedia to find out what happened so I don't have to read/watch the whole thing.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Cross posted w/Bitches cause I am in a (homework related) panic:

I am working on a homework assignment and I don't know the proper way to describe the transgender issue with Girl Scouts. Is it correct to say it is a "transgendered boy" that joined the Girl Scout troop because even though she has the bits of a boy, she lives as a girl? I want to make sure I say it right.

My brother posted a picture of their (male) cat schooling the (female) dog and noting the boys once again beat the girls in their household.

Shortly thereafter, my SIL posted that my brother had just been locked out of the house and texted her to let him in. He was locked out. By the cat. HER cat. The one he'd been touting as being the most badass male in the house.

It's pretty funny to me, at least.

Depends on how clear you want to make it. You could say an "MTF child" or something to be maybe a little more clear. Not sure what the most appropriate would be. But if you do what you're saying, I think the phrase you want is "transgender woman ((girl?)"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

But if you do what you're saying, I think the phrase you want is "transgender woman ((girl?)"

This is how I've heard it as distinct from "genetic girl" or GG.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Speaking as one, "genetic girl" feels like a weird label (not least because genotype and phenotype don't always line up, even biologically). Is "cis" too niche?


meara - Mar 14, 2012 5:55:18 pm PDT #26645 of 30001

Cis is totally niche, but "biogirl" or "genetic girl" is bad. And in the case of genetic girl, quite possibly inaccurate (as there are many XXY or XXXY people out there)

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Huh. It's not a complicated concept, right? I suppose using it implies a certain degree of awareness of cis-ness as something other than "normal" which is more awareness than most people have.
