Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid
I can't think of a time I've ever heard "cis" or "cisgender" outside of the internet. If you have a bunch of trans friends, as I do, you hear it more often. If I understand the meaning right it's like being one of the Italian mobsters in the movie Shaft . Well I have no idea wha...

Re: Planet America
Sorry, but as a bullied kid myself, I am particularly sensitive to the reasons kids bully other kids.

Re: Planet America
Okay, that's a fair answer. I was just wondering if you had some kind of axe to grind with regards to furries, but if it's just truth you're after and you would have been just as concerned if the story were about kids smoking, that's pretty reasonable, in my opinion.
