Entitled Transsexuals should cut it out, Julie Burchill portrays a typically belligerent transgender stance which shows that she is an extremist feminism. It is absolutely vile. I suggest you all read it.

I'll read it, but first I'll just say I know that kind if feminist all too well. The type of personality in general, the one who puts him/herself on the discriminated side to discriminate the other side. My arts teacher that I had for example. In a class all the girls except one (the most boy-like girl in that class) got the grade VG and all the boys and the girl who didn't get VG, got G. Guess which grade is the better one?

I'm kind of surprised only one person on here has tried to talk me out of my, idea that I don't need anyone at all.

I count two.

Knowing your reaction will start with either 'Yes, but' or 'No, because' doesn't help.

There's a time where feminism goes too far. It's acceptable for Julie to defend her friend, Suzanne Moore, but to the extent where unacceptable language is used towards to the point where she is verbally attacking a minority? I'm sorry, but she needs a boot up the arse.

Oh, and apparently this isn't her first attack on transgenders. A mere 12 years ago, she done the exact same except it was a lot worse.

I have no skills worth using to volunteer with. Besides, I'm so broke, anything I can do for free, I should be trying to get paid for.

Clearly you have never tried job hunting in northern Michigan.

In any case, I've decided to give having connections to other people another chance.

Something must have happened in the last week or so, that pushed me over the edge(not sure what), because all I could think was how I wanted nothing to do with anyone.

When you stop to think, you realize that is an idiotic thought to have.

Still kind of hope the girl I like don't come back to college though. Better to never have a chance due to events out of my control, than my own cowardice.
