There probably are sensible ways to talk about the whys of children who have Asian heritage dominating the Spelling Bee for the past couple of years. But, saying that these kids aren't American is not one of those ways.

Yes I forgot about hormones. That's what they start out with. It's still incredible. I remember women in the 80's looked like men in a dress. One of the James Bond film had a transgender women, very pretty. Everybody went nuts.

I think having trans activists is extremely important, especially given the number of states that do not offer protection for trans folks. You should not have to be defined by your transition, obviously, but I see why Ms. Cox has chosen to use her celebrity to raise awareness about trans people / rights.

I'm with you on the beauty privilege, 100%, because I have eyes. But she's something like 6'3" and started her transition well after puberty. I know she's mentioned that she herself doesn't consider herself to have passing privilege, and has had some serious angst about it in her pre-OitNB life.

I think people should look at how this worked out a little more editorially — it was probably less of a snub on the top 100 list and more like a, "wow there's a lot of interest in Laverne Cox who has a really interesting story to tell, let's save her name from the list and do an entire feature about her instead of…

Every time I see a photograph of Ms. Cox, all I can think is that the only explanation for this goddess having been born into a male body is because she was using it as a chrysalis.

All great societies are founded on the principle of censorship, benevolently applied.

People with his physicality and body count do not tend to be the victims in prison. But otherwise, your adolescent joke is ... still not funny.

Who needs all these fancy new doodads. You don't know what livin' is 'til you drive a team of horse like I used to. All these ridiculous wires you stick in your ears to hear a bunch of caterwauling from some half-dressed floozie. We didn't need all this new-fangled shit to have fun in my day. We'd just walk out into…

It was very frustrating to be a young man though and see the same alpha males get 90% of the casual sex

Okay, enough.

social norms influence how mental illness expresses itself. the fact men with mental illness in the united states often lash out in misogynistic ways reflects the deeper problems of our culture.

can "uno dos tres hahahahahahaah" be my new catchphrase?

Wait ... so they use a laser to emulsify the fat? If I'm not mistaken, emulsify is like blenderin' right? But with lasers? So heat?!? So they're baconing the fat under your skin and then it's flushed out your lymphatic system? H.S. biology was a while ago but what hole is the lymphatic system and what comes out of it?…

Well, I'm not sure I'd consider this rape, legally or otherwise:

Florida may suck for a myriad of reasons, but their public education system is great.

Ok, you just need to stop. The problem with your "solution" is that it ignores the history of sexual abuse towards women and how systemic it is. Boundaries don't mean anything to people who think they're entitled to another person's body. That's what the issue is. Not deciding when it's "ok" to objectify other people…

I think it's because then there'd be an excuse to drink a whole bunch of 18 year old Scotch for feminism.

"Hi kids! GIVE UNTO ME YOUR LIFE ESSENCE."

I can't pretend to like archaic divorce law that treats a couple as a single entity but part of me always enjoys hearing about someone sticking it to the 0.001%
