Not bad influence. Mostly I was thinking of squeezing her face cheeks

She wouldn't complain!! She's got you covered!!

(Also your clarification of Face Cheeks, Specifically, is very funny and you've done a great job)

Haven't seen any mention of it on your main blog, so I wanted to ask if you're aware of HB/HR 2796 (The Civil Rights Uniformity Act of 2017). Simply put, it's a proposed bill sitting in Congress that would make discrimination against transgender people legal (unless expressly stated in future legislation) and set a precedent that Congress is allowed to determine who does and does not have Civil Rights protections. It's been flying under the radar from what I can tell.

I made the briefest mention of it in this post, but I haven’t given it any other coverage beyond that. That’s mainly because I don’t think it’s likely that it will actually make it out of committee (let alone become law).

It’s a terrible piece of legislation, absolutely. While it wouldn’t legalize discrimination, it would prevent federal protections for sex/gender from being interpreted broadly to include LGBTQ+ identities as well. Obviously that’s bad news for trans folks (among others). As things currently stand, that’s still not a settled legal question (that’s in part what was at stake in the Gavin Grimm case).

But what this legislation, and the continued debate over things like Title IX makes clear is that we do have a need for comprehensive federal anti-discrimination legislation. That’s the best, and clearest, way to ensure LGBTQ+ folks are protected. Unfortunately the chance of that passing in this current congress is probably even slimmer than this discriminatory bill. That’s part of the reason why flipping congress is so important in 2018.

In the meantime, I’m keeping an eye on 2796 and will definitely be vocal if it starts to move forward in a meaningful way.

No but Richie having an assistant that looks exactly like Eddie while not even remembering who Eddie is in the miniseries just fucks me up errytime. And then you realize the boy he's subconsciously been wanting to be with all this time dies and he's now completely alone again, forever stuck in an endless cycle of short loveless trysts with random women

oh...

thakns btw, i needed this! *ugly sobbing*
