Re: Planet America

Most "normal" people cannot read. But that's just my humble opinion. I disagree. Most "normal" people can read, they just don't. Reading is a fundamental skill - imagine not being able to read street signs, product labels, texts and tweets... But people don't read books for fun,...

Re: Science etc.

It's the "that's the part I'd like to know about" bit that got me worked up.

Re: Science etc.

I didn't read all of your wall of text, but I read enough to understand that what you're talking about is very much not the same as approaching someone and saying "you look trans - do you have a penis?" Any trans person subjected to that would be very justified in replying "What? Fuck...
