May I present the glory that is seat 2A on a Ryanair 737-8200.

They only charge like 30 euros for this.

Imagine standing in that queue to have your photo taken against a wall while 8 trans women are watching, judging you.

We'd just been in the pub, by the way. Some of us use our time better.

It isn't even the location from the film. That's between platforms 4 and 5 because Rowling is a hack.

So you're speaking a sentence in Portuguese, are you? Well you have 0.5 seconds to decide between a subordinating conjunction or a preposition/naked adjective, AND IT WILL DETERMINE THE COURSE OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!

Just got this Reddit ad for US ambulance chasers implying hormonal birth control is dangerous and causing mass health problems.

It’s starting. We (trans women) bloody warned you.

The advert described above. The text reads, “ Have you used the Depo-Provera shot for birth control? If so, you may have a potential claim against the company for personal injuries. You may have been exposed to serious health risks. See if you qualify for compensation.”
