quote of the day

[prof_pangaea]

Is it possible that th notion of “transgendered inidividual” is a contemporary error that ,in the future, will be viewed as similar to witches, werewolves and vampires?

little known facts about trans people: they sparkle in the sun drink human blood, engage in orgies with the devil, and are allergic to silver.

sorry, this is why i had to cancel my plans to attend your fancy dinner party -- i can't use actual silverware! also, i had plans that night to maul a few people to death with my teeth and then fuck satan. next time i'll just bring my own flatware! and a goat, that we can ritually sacrifice together.


ETA:

me: lolol. but seriously? werewolves? wtffffffffff.
bran: ...YOU REALLY ARE REMUS LUPIN.
me: :O

If this is true, then my gender dysphoric husband says he'd like to know where the hell his superpowers are.

Handy rule of thumb: never read the comments on a newspaper site. Ever.

has he tried concentrating really, really hard and seeing if that makes him levitate?

it wasn't a normal article, though -- it was a forum for asking trans-related questions to be answered by a doctor who is writing a book called trans bodies, trans selves. as such, i was surprised at how restrained the comments really were (i.e. i was expecting wall to wall FAIL). this particular gem was just too lolarious not to share, though.
