The Israelites took the transgender trope from their surrounding cultures and wove it into their own sacred scripture. The four-Hebrew-letter name of God, which scholars refer to as the Tetragrammaton, YHWH, was probably not pronounced “Jehovah” or “Yahweh,” as some have guessed. The Israelite priests would have read the letters in reverse as Hu/Hi — in other words, the hidden name of God was Hebrew for “He/She.” Counter to everything we grew up believing, the God of Israel — the God of the three monotheistic, Abrahamic religions to which fully half the people on the planet today belong — was understood by its earliest worshipers to be a dual-gendered deity.

Putting aside the fact that racist people would say the same about this black politician, how’s this acceptable discourse for civilized society? If some rando on twitter said this, they’d get FBI at their door.
Maybe this will increase voter turnout for people who want to see Trump get sentenced and not avoid his sentence
Reach out to your representatives and ask them what they’re doing about it, then tell your family and friends and ask them to reach out to their representatives
The girl in the window looks so pleased with herself lol
I hate South Park. It’s occasionally funny, this is not one of those occasions
That’s fair
I kinda admire human…creativity, I guess? I mean, this dude understands the meaning of YOLO
The word fag needs to be taken back from the haters. My first encounter with it was in the context of cigarettes.
Just be careful that you’re both designating each other as a beneficiary on any insurance, 401K/other retirement vehicles, or other assets (stocks, bonds, housing, accounts etc). If she’s not legally your spouse, she’s not going to be automatically entitled to any assets if she’s widowed or vice versa.
You both may also want to have a will or power of attorney clause given to each other in case of medical issues which prevent someone from communicating their own will. Family members get the right to act on behalf of their family, but they can’t do anything to help or protect if they’re not legally related in some way. Some places have clauses for common law spouses, but not all do, and not for all circumstances.
I am interested in knowing if I am wrong, would be cool to see published results which can prove any of these ideas
