I have only one regret: that I could not also put Nair in there, because the smell was too strong.

Eggs roll in, eggs roll out. You can't explain it!

I very deliberately and consciously never had children; never even got pregnant because I was careful and cautious. She can bite my (not shiny, not metal) ass as well.

Sorry to be persnickety, but the "societal elites" the dingbat mentions in the quote do not appear to be transgender people themselves. Rather she appears to be referring to the people (including subject matter experts) who are suggesting it is a bad idea to discriminate against others because of who they are - as in because of the traits they were born with rather than those they chose, such as ms. dingbat choosing to be a lying bigot spreading her lies in her supposed field of expertise, medicine. That trait, lying in order to advanced your bigoted agenda, seems to me to be one worthy of a hostile response.

I call it the Trump base.

Mine too. Child Free by choice, never pregnant. Those (usually bible-thumpers) who suggest we're not 'real' women can go get stuffed (with votes, of course).

And they fucking leave through the cat door for some reason.

Sure! We are "vessels" belonging to the state, and as such our only function is to host future Republicans. Hey, it worked for the Nazis!

No, no, no, what ARE you thinking? They resented evil uppity beeyotches not letting them fuck them! So if ladies have no agency, and lack of birth control prevents them from getting decent jobs, so they have no financial security, they have to let the red pill dudebros fuck them! See how it works? Just like in the good old days! Women knew their place! That's why they voted for someone who "grabs 'em in the pussy" and why they failed to recognize that those inept words were the words of someone who has no idea how a women's genitalia work--they're just the same.

Women were told that the very thing that most marks them as a woman, their wondrous reproductive systems, their fertility, is their enemy. If only they can break free from the tyranny of their own bodies, they will be free.

I delayed breaking free from the tyranny of my own body so that I could use my wondrous reproductive system to have a kid, even though it was quite a mind-fuck to be pregnant with a man's mind... I guess it hasn't occurred to her that the difficulty or inability to have children is a tragedy to a lot of trans people, not a motivation.

And with the suicide rates without treatment and reported improvement in quality of life after treatment I often wonder if the treatment of transsexuality is one of the most successful medical treatments. Whatever causes it, why not save lives if you can?

I'm just talking to myself. I know nothing will change these people's minds. Frankly I don't even care.

He's a true deplorable, AND he was raised by a single mother on welfare. Yet another wingnut who doesn't want other people to have his advantages.

Yep. The basic "Fuck you, I got mine." People like him and Paul Ryan, I'm not sure if it a lack of empathy, even for someone else in their same situation, or some sort of zero sum math. Or both.

Ryan is a Randroid, and I 'm pretty sure Demint is holier-than-thou. They should be mortal enemies in a sane, rational world. Instead they have the same goals and outlooks.

Robyn, I'm not sure what to say about the birth control stuff, but I know how you can solve your health insurance problem. I learned it from Trump. Just have your dad give you a couple million bucks. Then have him connect you with the politicians and zoning boards in Chicago and have him cosign on a construction loan for a 50 story mixed use building in the high rent district. You could call it something like the Robyn's Nest and turn the top floor into your own kitschy dwelling, leverage it into more glitzy real estate, become a billionaire, run for president, get elected and let the taxpayers pay for your insurance. Easy peasy. As bright as you are, I'm surprised you hadn't already thought of it.

Hahaha! No. That would require having a soul, and making a lick of sense.
