We're here! We're junkie-transsexual-spectral-bovines! Get used to it!

I see this as a show-stopping musical number.

I also hope very much that P-C's mom never finds b.org

Hee. My mom tried to friend me on facebook. I told her, "I use facebook for friend stuff, which isn't always Mom stuff," and she said she understood. (Not that I've actually updated anything on facebook in a while, but it's the principle of the thing.)

Also, argh. When I was home on spring break, my mom and I tried to visit her grandfather's grave. We found her grandmother's grave, but not her grandfather. We knew what burial society they had been part of, and we looked it up and found another cemetery that that society had used, so Mom called them, and they said he wasn't buried there. So I ordered a copy of his death certificate. It says he's buried at that one that had told my mom he wasn't there.

You know, that Junkie Transexual thing might be the reason someone's Mom is so uptight...

In other entitled students at my university news: [link]

When the officer threatened to arrest her, Sales said she called 911.

I'm still boggling at this.

For the record, I never think of you as a junkie transexual.

Hah! I was totally thinking that "Well, no WONDER she's so worried about him..."

I'm glad to hear they're looking out for the junkie transsexuals. (WTF? Seriously...why do they need to know your sex at birth? I'm glad they acknowledge it might not be your perceived one, but...um....why does it matter?)

That's very weird about the grave, Hil...

And she tried to get a ride home from the UPD? Who she called the cops on? And then tried to sob story her way to a free cab ride?

The UPD, by the way, are actual police, not just security guards. They don't have much, if any, authority off campus (unless they're pursuing someone who started out on campus), but on campus, they've got the authority to detain or arrest people, just like any other cops.

(WTF? Seriously...why do they need to know your sex at birth? I'm glad they acknowledge it might not be your perceived one, but...um....why does it matter?)

To keep databases consistent? It certainly shouldn't change whether you can donate blood. Which, you know, doesn't have chromosomes.

Also: she was in the gym without permission. The police told her she had to leave, and she said she'd be done in ten minutes? If you're protesting unfair treatment, or starting a sit-in, or something like that, then I can see a reason to stay when the police say to go. But when you're in a building that you don't have the right ID to be in, and the police ask you to go, then you go. When they get to the point of, "If you don't leave, you're going to be arrested," and you don't have any justification for being there other than "I want to," then you GO.

Yeah, it just seems odd--unless you're preemptively excluding transsexuals because they are more likely to...be prostitutes? junkies? engaging in unsafe sex? Which seems ridiculous. Even if it IS more likely, it's not 100% (and especially not for FTMs!). And you don't get paid for donating blood, right? So there's little incentive to LIE on those forms...(unlike, say, if you were trying to donate plasma, where you do get paid)
