OTOH, it’s so adorable how entrepreneurs (read: already rich people who “start” businesses) love to tell the story of how they arrived at their million dollar ideas by “sketching it on a cocktail napkin” or “doodling in my Moleskine.” Then inevitably they “bite the bullet” and “take their chance!” Lemme translate that…

I bought my bag at Target.

Mary Fallin signed a law requiring welfare recipients to get drug-tested to receive food stamps. She talks constantly about self-reliance, personal responsibility, and cutting government waste. It’s rather noteworthy that her children are living on the taxpayers of the state, in an arrangement that in Christina’s case…

Just as our tax money is going into “investigating” Benghazi...

so what you’re saying is that my tax money is being used wasted to investigate the completely legal practice of organ/tissue donation?

Everyone’s teeth should probably be brown and the women should have body hair, but you know . . . strict accuracy is not really the point in TV history dramas.

Okay. Drop him off at my place, please.

Leaving aside why you think you “gotta say” that, would you not describe Edwin Moses or Carl Lewis as an Olympic champion today? I think it is, in fact, a “perma-title” - if you win a gold medal and they put you on the Wheaties box and all of the other trappings of being a major Olympic star, you carry that for life,…

See that little “x” on the Gawker tab in your browser? Click it. Now. And when you see the words “Caitlyn Jenner” in a headline, don’t click.

She’s not a different person. When someone changes their name, for example for marriage OR for a transition, that does not negate their prior accomplishments. I’d be really pissed if anyone said that because I got my undergrad degree before I was married, it doesn’t count anymore.

This comment is like if a comment section came to life via a magic spell, learned to type very poorly, and set out to delight me. My birthday isn’t until Thursday but this is the best present I’ve ever received.

Why do you want her “15 minutes” to be up? The only time I ever hear about her is on Deadspin. She’s not a huge part of my life. What are you doing differently that makes her fame so irritating to you?

No, it shouldn’t. I was able to talk to my dad about transgender people this weekend because of Caitlyn and that would not have happened if she wasn’t still in the public eye. This isn’t about sensationalism, it’s about education and helping extremely vulnerable people be more accepted in our hateful society.

No! First of all, she has been famous since probably before you were born. She made a huge and courageous choice to be herself, and now she is in a position to affect positive change. I am glad she is doing this. It will be helpful for other trans people, and everyone else who doesn’t understand it.

If it were someone not-famous, no one would pay attention. I think it’s awesome that Caitlyn is using her power and influence to help raise awareness and make some transgendered lives a little bit better.

15 minutes? Da fuq? Hugely popular and successful athlete underwent a major life change and is now helping others deal with questions?

Please for the love of Cthulhu don’t ungrey the trolls. Some are being particularly vicious and I know it’s tempting to engage but just don’t. Keep that way of thinking in the fucking greys.
