I think it would get the attention of just about anyone, so don't think it is aimed at anyone in particular. So your construction is not needed in this context.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I love the letter to the editor my sister just wrote as a responsible to bum-sex-will-kill-us-all-if-we-don't-stop-them-marrying. Since the article played fast and loose with fact, her letter is pretty pedantically sourced.

Too long to get published in a letter to the editors section, I think. But my father has long been sending in lengthy responses to articles--he ended up winning a couple silver pens. But he never asked me to do research for them, so obviously they're not as good.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

We're close enough to a college campus that I'm sure these guys get plenty to look at. I haven't heard any catcalls, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say they aren't the "worst possible version of construction worker". Still, my own comfort aside, I think going out in my inside clothes would be a barrier to communication.

I want a new head. Yesterday was a migraine. I woke up at 5am feeling like it wanted to explode. I've made it through the majority of work I need to accomplish today and that icky nausia feeling is coming back.

In not me news...CJ is doing another fire ride-along. He is spending 12 hours at the firehouse across the street from us. I hope he gets to go on some interesting calls (not that I want anything on fire or anyone hurt...).

Huh. I was just testing to see if I could see indents on my mobile devices (which I can--if anyone has any information on how bon and Amy can force theirs to refresh, please help out in BBaBB++), and at the start of this thread I was reading trans* tumblrs who are filled with hate for cis women, and now I'm reading a tumblr of a cis lesbian who is railing at the rape culture propagated by trans* men. It seems they are worse than cis men, or no different.

Now I have to go look up this "cotton ceiling" and see what in hell is the deal.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Can't we all just get along?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I know that certain people for several reasons have blanket hatred for any number of specific populations. However, I am wondering if they have given reasons for hating cis women? Not that I'm going to argue with their reasons, I'm just curious.

Because books.

Where does "cis" come from? Is it short for something? I know what it means, I just can't figure out where the term originated.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I think the "cis" is the Latin prefix.

I am starting to get twitchy. Husband has to find a new job, we're going to have to move, and now I have the urge to throw out half of everything in the house.
