It isn’t as simple as “feeling I identify as a woman now”, it’s a culmination typically of years or a lifetime of identifying as a different gender, and then living congruent with that. It would be ludicrous for someone to just say they “feel like a woman” and apply for funding without actually taking steps to live in a manner congruent with the stated identification.tempo_n_groove said:

The vitriolic response to Harry and Meghan's decision to back out of public life- an example of outrage culture? Not the most important news on earth, but I think they deserve to have the life they want and I would say the hyperbolic reaction to that is outrage culture. What'cha think?

I think it's ridiculous and hilarious, especially when he's what, how many spots away from the throne? their roles are merely symbolic. I see that racist sack of shit katie whatsername weighed in and thinks they are spoiled brats. really? wanting to distance yourself from royalty and be financially independent?

What I find hysterical is that a newspaper dedicated 17 pages SEVENTEEN PAGES, to them.
I just don't get it? Let them do their own thing, dear lord. God forbid someone doesn't enjoy the spotlight...0 -
I guess Canada is to blame. They spent New Year’s with us, only a few kilometres from where I live, and decided to chuck it all

so i was perusing twitter trending topics again (my mistake) and found Alec Baldwin trending. so I clicked on it, thinking he did something to his daughter again. nope.
an instagram post, ONE INSTAGRAM POST, claiming his wife has been "faking being spanish" went viral and now all the right leaning media are latching onto it as if it were true, and not only that, that it fucking matters.
that's really what gets me. that people think stuff like this is something to actually be mad about.By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0 -
Don’t click on it. That feeds the animal.0
