But is there something to laugh about?

RantWoman goes here gingerly between sweaty bruiser MMA fighters and the lives of people always fighting erasure. 

To hear haters tell it, there must be millions of transgender people about.

President #StableGenius thinks a kid can turn transgender in one day at school. To go one step further, he loves the poorly educated so skip school AND ...

#GrandpaSleepyhead even thinks the National Science Foundation is studying transgender instead of TRANSGENIC mice. 

The internet has been proclaiming Michelle Obama a man for YEARS and yet she persists in remaining female. 

If only all this magical thinking about transgender people ensured that people who actually are transgender found instant ease and comfort as fast as social media waves its magic wand. If only....

Tackling the Iran Peace Deal

Yes, of COURSE RantWoman could have launched her commentary with SERIOUS pieces. Instead RantWoman will be going off on what seem to be the main talking points raised about the beginning, HOPEFULLY, of a path to peace.

Just let the comics at the realities.

Hoopes Sentenced to More Than Two Years in Prison for Assaulting an ICE Agent - Friends Journal

RantWoman's judgmental and possibly unhelpful comments:

DO NOT DO ANYTHING that might be construed as assault at a protest!

Anyone not confident that they can stay centered in a given situation should definitely consider sitting out a protest. There are MANY ways to stand for justice. Know yourself. Know the situation. Know the people you are with. Avoid actions that you might be embarrassed about later.

Even though information suggests the officer's injury was comparatively minor, RantWoman is SEVERELY humor-impaired about any and all injuries around someone's eyes or face.

And at the same time, plenty of undertrained #ICE agents perpetrating the current barbarities, in RantWoman's eyes, also bloody well deserve prison sentences for the many assaults and injuries that come with their nearly lawless operational rules.

#AbolishICE

End the barbaric mass deportation efforts and get our collective legislative and national acts together to do serious immigration reform.

The Strait?

The gist:

Travel is still risky enough that insurance rates remain high.

There are likely to be continued charges to pass through.

Insurance rates are likely to remain high; alternative routes last longer and cost more so no relief on prices anytime soon.
