@PopeBeanie – Yes, Once I got my teeth sunk into it, there was over 400 years of research to investigate. Or is it 500? At times it felt like I had bitten off more than I could chew. Alas, I don’t chew much anymore. It was a lot of blood, sweat and tears. Thankful, none of it was mine!

Your work on this research is appreciated!

If I meet someone who informs me of their preferred pronouns, I’m going to use those pronouns. It’s really easy.

My ex-wife had this exasperating attitude where she was convinced trans people are just playing games for self recognition and yet a massive danger in public restrooms.

The funny thing is, a trans woman is not safe in a male only res…[Read more]

The middle one of those links states “Still, the assaults appear to have little to do with the attacker’s gender identity, according to documents filed with the family’s lawsuit.

It felt to me in the final few weeks that it was the Democrats to lose. I thought his “Eating the dogs” line in the debate would sink him but he might as well have shot somebody on 5th Ave for all the difference it made. Here is an interesting article on the topic.
