Exactly, if a drag queen was in this situation while dressed in drag, how is the officer supposed to differentiate that person from an actual transgender person? Are they just supposed to say "Yeah, this one still looks too much like a dude and that gaudy make up must mean he isn't serious"? Or do they just throw a…

It's cute that she thinks customs official give a flip about her tweets.

Seriously, these sound like the most respectful, nicest immigration officers ever. People regularly get treated worse than this for much less.

I don't see anything wrong with this either. If their policy is not to house penises with vaginas then you can't be outraged if you have a penis and are having to go to a men's correctional facility where there are other penises.

This is actually a massively complicated issue. Transgender people are of the gender of their inner identity, sure. The problem is that not everyone who cross dresses qualifies as "transgender," and some people who will identify as "transgender" in the future are not "transgender" now. There is no simple test for…

So, trans woman flouts law, demands pity when treated sternly but humanely by authorities. Also permitted to live-tweet throughout "ordeal," which means it wasn't an ordeal at all.

Uhh this all seems pretty reasonable aside from some rudeness/insensitivity from the staff. I'm not seeing what is so horrible here: the policy for trans prisoners seems pretty reasonable considering the competing concerns (i.e. women *not* wanting to have pre-op transsexuals with male anatomy housed with them). Of…

I was outraged. Then I youtubed her "comedy." Now I support solitary confinement for her for life. Just awful.

I'm sorry - perhaps I'm missing something? Aren't the officials following the law as quoted in the post? Or is the point that the law itself is a problem? Or that there was too much delay before they settled her into a cell? Please excuse my ignorance here!

meh, could have been worse. Like Analdonkeygangbangs.com

i do concur, so you can imagine my surprise when board members took offense to me breaking wind HARD at a meeting last month, and then letting out a sigh of relief afterward.

It's a, mock religion, basically as an example of how ridiculous religion can be, and you can't prove otherwise. What applies to Flying Spaghetti Monster applies to any god.

They've already said you'll be able to use any external USB3 hard drive in the Xbox One.

I'm addicted to Flappy Bird articles. Please pull them all.

is dong using bots to spam kotaku with fake articles now too?

Maybe Justin Timberlake as Paddle 1? "Bring it on down to Atari-Ville"

And yet no mention of Mortal Kombat, the best worst video game movie of all time.

A whole host of news outlets — including Jalopnik, to be fair — jumped on the narrative that Barra might be getting paid less than Akerson because she is a woman, and because women at every level of the professional ladder aren't compensated as well as their male counterparts, including executives. But it seems all of…

Can I just say how shitty it is that an article about a woman's death has a picture of the sister she hated first and foremost, and a picture of the actual dead woman nowhere to be found?

Jezebel named a victim of a high profile brutal gang rape and murder against the explicit wishes of her family. There was no retraction or apology. The article is still online today.
