I'm not anorexic so that was an insignificant insult to throw at me. Also, thinspiration is not a word that existed before Internet (tumblr specifically) so to continue to ignore its context and implications simply makes you appear ill-informed.

Douchebaggery must be the name of the nemesis please!

No, trans is still (in this context) an adjective. Trans women, not transwoman. Like: black woman and not blackwoman. Depending on the details involved in a scenario, a woman can be a woman, a black woman, a trans woman, a black trans woman, a Midwestern black trans woman.

That has nothing to do with what Internet-savvy folks know as thinspiration, but thanks for playing.

Again, buddy, the word trans is not a noun in the context of transgender people. It's like you're saying "gay make me uncomfortable." Just something to keep in mind if you're interested in sounding like you're at least five years old!

Reading the last paragraph isn't the same thing as reading the whole article, sport.

many of us know better than to assume the sexual orientation of trans folks, and it's possible that Ethan Hawke doesn't know this, but at the same time I don't think it's necessarily incorrect that homophobia and transphobia overlap. When you look at the recent example of Casper Smart texting a trans woman, the…

Yes, let's all put on our critical thinking caps and try to come up with an explanation as to why a trending news story about a murdered trans woman has any business on a LGBT blog.

if it's any consolation, I read somewhere that this was Paul's least favorite song of theirs.

you're tragically dense if you don't understand that the social construct of race 1) exists in simplifications (ie, a biracial child with dark skin will be perceived by many as black) and 2) that a parent will not be horribly depressed if a child identifies more with one race based on their unique experience.

people don't always have to get back together, and yes, if she left him, it's not really on him to persistently try to get her to change her mind. Sometimes what's done needs to stay done.
