I'm not saying that calling this person a ladyboy is right; it's rude and wrong and generally uncalled for. However, respect is earned, and when someone flips out and is ready to fight a retail worker for what was most likely a slip of the tongue does not make people want to give that respect.

Most of this isn't transphobia. That asshole blew up over what was most likely a slip of the tongue. I have accidentally called a guy ma'am before. I, a straight woman, have also accidentally been called a man before. This shit happens. The best way to respond is to laugh it off, not blow a gasket

The problem is that the two are becoming inseparable. The same people complaining about rampant systemic sexism in the US are the same people putting Linda Sarsour as a feminist hero.

And if it's because you are concerned about preservatives in the vaccines, those have been largely decreased or swapped out for something better, largely because of improved preservation techniques in refrigeration, and the discovery of better biological compounds.

The herd is a good thing haha! But really, @born2fly you can see in real time what happens when people don't vaccinate their children. Measles is spreading like wildfire in Europe, and there are now outbreaks of measles, mumps, chicken pox, and other childhood diseases in the US in numbers that haven't been seen in years.

This is because you benefited from something called herd immunity. That is when most of a population is vaccinated, preventing an outbreak and protecting those who cannot be vaccinated. The percentage varies, but to have herd immunity, 83-94 percent of a population must be vaccinated. With the rise of antivaxxers, that overall percentage has dropped, exposing everyone who can and cannot be vaccinated to diseases we haven't seen in decades.

I was talking a bit more in general haha! I lived over by Detroit, so I got lots of overcast weather in the winter.

Especially in the winter! If you're really unlucky, you can go months at a time without seeing the sun!

Thank you! They cancel it because it's "too much money" but fork out 100 million for a show that has been rerunning on TV for the past ten years

You know it's a joke right? It's also nearly finals week, and I would think memorizing any textbook could bring anyone to tears.

Watson and Crick weren't the original discoverers of DNA, it was actually Rosalind Franklin. She was the first to get a rudimentary x-ray of DNA, and went to Watson and Crick with her theoretical models. They then used her work and published it without citing her.

But there has been plenty of cases in the past few years where the public has been, if not blatantly lied to, purposefully mislead on multiple occasions, regarding many important topics. It's coming from both sides of the political sphere, and with no sign of impartial change in the media, it would be irresponsible of everyone to simply accept what the media tells us.
