1.) There are trans actors who would gladly and more accurately portray the role.

Yeah, but he’s a cis dude playing a trans woman. He plays a trans woman on the show Penny Dreadful, too.
Yup. Also, I’m not sure why the only trans character is being played by a cis dude.
Sure, haha.
It’s not really about that, though, is it? No one here is saying that you can’t have an opinion, offer advice, or generally comment. However, if someone who has lived through the experience reacts to your comment by saying you may not have the whole picture, the best course of action is to sit down and listen. Or you…
Yeah, as with most nobility of the era, there was a bit of a problem with inbreeding among the Sforzas. They were known not only for their quick, explosive tempers, but also for paranoia and erratic behavior. I’m related to the Sforzas on my mother’s side (her maiden name is Sforza) and we still joke about the Sforza…
I’m from a branch of the Sforzas as well! We’ve always been known for our sometimes scary tempers.
I’m related to her! And to Ludovico Sforza, who I believe was her nephew. He was the Duke of Milan and was a patron of Da Vinci. My mother’s maiden name is Sforza, and I’ve considered changing my last name to keep the line going. Mostly Sforzas were known for their explosive tempers. Whenever someone in my family has…
My long distance dude and I have one of these things. It’s called a “we-vibe” and I think it may just slide by this because its intended use is for a cis woman to use it while she has sex with a cis man. She’d put it in and use the remote control to change the speed/pattern of vibrations. However, there’s a version…
While sexist attitudes may have been more prevalent and accepted back then, it seems that it wasn’t necessarily worse, just different. Since movies couldn’t have sex scenes, female characters had to be given more dynamic roles than just “hot girl 4” and “trophy wife.” Instead, women ended up playing roles that women…
Originally her lasso was meant to make men obey and submit, not necessarily tell the truth. Sounds like the creator had some interesting fantasies.
Right? It’s sort of like that episode of Bob’s Burgers where Tina dreams she’s flying around, kissing boys as they lay on the ground. Only it’s not kissing on my mind...
Lots of passages from 50 Shades appear to be lifted word-for-word from Twilight. Possibly because 50 Shades was originally a Twilight fanfiction.
But she didn’t say it. The interviewer said it, then assumed that she agreed based on a smile.
Your sexuality isn’t defined by who you happen to be dating, though. I’m currently involved with a man, but that doesn’t make me any less bisexual.
I think you do have a point. Obviously we know very little for certain about sexuality. But I think, while we may be able to acknowledge that these things do happen sometimes, it’s not really fair to make the assumption that anyone’s bisexuality is a “phase.” That’s what the interviewer did, and that, I think we can…
The funny (and by “funny” I really mean “depressing”) part about being bisexual is that, whether the person judging you is gay or straight themselves, they always assume you just like dick and will go back to it eventually. This goes for bisexual people regardless of gender. Bisexual women are assumed straight and…
Sadly, even liberal men who believe themselves to be lovers of “strong women” can still fall into the same old misogynistic bullshit. The most annoying part about these kinds of men is that they think that, since they’re liberal, there’s no possible way they could ever do anything misogynistic, so telling them become…
I’m not assuming. I’m close-reading the text. That means looking at the specific language being used and reading into the implications of it. Look it up. It’s a widely-accepted critical technique. I’m using textual evidence, such as the specific things he said about her appearance, to build my argument.
It’s a hard truth, regardless of your gender, that the only common denominator in all of one person’s failed relationships is them. The OP is specifically asking for things he can do. He’s not asking for things other people should be doing at all.
