I also strongly believe it's a good thing for visibility. That normalization thing we've all been so worried about? Goes both ways. Trans stuff is still new and scary, but if someone sees a Coverboy wearing makeup and trans tees and buttons at Target of all places, that maybe opens up their mind a little.

Not at all, I know someone'll do it.

My father (who is the living embodiment of Holiday in Cambodia) argued for years in favor of boycotting Walmart, then shrugged at the idea of intentionally going to Target. You can't argue that your money counts when it's a stick, but doesn't matter when it's a carrot.
Either way, there's now a button at target that…

This is pretty damn off topic but, uh, this made me tear up a bit: http://www.target.com/s?sor…

I think you're too generous. I suspect, given the apparent integrity of the people involved (minus Simmons, obviously) that no one cared if it was true; it sold copy and that's all that matters.
I'm sorry to hear about your awful family!

Oh Christ I'd forgotten that bit of this weird saga. What the fuck was that shit?
I wonder what conclusions we'll jump to in 30 years when the current A-listers try to retire? Brad Pitt went to live under the sea? Julia Roberts was eaten by her own mouth? Clooney…well, Clooney got married and had two children and is…

This whole fucking thing was just so bizarre, from the oddly stalkerish podcast to the dead or transitioning rumors. Barely anyone actually seemed to care about Simmons himself, just the lurid gossipy nature of it all.

Don't bother - he pops up once in a while. He's either trolling to entertain himself, or he's legitimately the king of logical fallacies.

Sad upvote. I don't want to get all heavy in a frog obituary, but I hope you're taking care of yourself or are in a position to be able to do so.

What? Wait, so we weren't happy with one? The goddamn Soros liberal media just had to have both Wachowski siblings transitioning?!
Also, Penny, you gotta stop redditing, it must be bad for you.

Meanwhile, it appears the UK is sticking with the Tories and Brexit, though perhaps they're throwing UKIP on the trash fire of history where it belongs.

Dude. We made fun of her shitty book, which doesn't seem to espouse an opinion. Get some sort of grip.

There's a lot of old pictures of women walking in skirts and heels or studying in a university classroom alongside men, all in Afghanistan in the 70s and early 80s. I couldn't believe it.

She's never going to love you.

Women in large cities in the Middle East are told to be grateful they're not in the rural areas, where they'd be less safe. Women in the rural areas are told to be grateful when they're not married off to a man three times their age. Women who've been married to a man three times their age are told to be grateful he…

c-c-c-c-combo!
No, seriously, the most endangered people in America are black and Latinx transgender people.

6 out of 100 rapists walk free. That's not much better. And as should be obvious with how long it took women to make a noise about Fox and Trump, plenty of women still keep their mouth closed about sexual harassment.
And thanks, I guess, but I'm going to continue to be aware of how much the GOP hates me, because I have…

Would you have preferred me to say she done fucked up? And again, no. You're conflating mocking a dimwit with stoning a witch.

Literally no one here would break out pitchforks if this was Ivanka's only transgression. This is merely a tiny straw on the bale that has broken the camel's back. Probably a few people are truly upset at this new dumb thing; none of them are here. We're just rolling our eyes and making jerkoff motions because this utt…

Did you hear he's marrying Mika? What a weird, toxic little family gathering that will be.
