Yeah not only is it dehumanising to trans women, but what about all the people since the beginning of time that were born with ambiguous or irregular genitals or chromosomes?

Germaine Greer, the second-wave feminist best known for her 1970 book The Female Eunuch, accused Caitlyn Jenner of “stealing the limelight” from the other women of the Kardashian clan...

If you think her transphobia is bad, you should see what she has to say about FGM (pro) and fucking underage boys (also pro). Lady has been off the rails for a loooooong time.

I think sometimes self-described, self-defined, and self-enclosed feminists are more hostile than the average person to whomever they perceive as outsiders using “their” titles, because they don’t want to give up what they perceive as special status, as if expanding allyship is watering down feminism. Which is…

How hard is it to leave people alone? If you don’t think they are real women, so what? They’re not going to need your permission to live their lives, and you can’t take away their right to take hormone therapy and wear the clothes they want, so what do you want to accomplish here? Jail them? Encourage more…

My little brother accidentally disrupted one of her speeches because he was in an echo chamber late at night with an opera singer and thought he’d try out singing the Les Miz soundtrack with her. Yeah turned out Greer was giving a speech just off the corridor and due to sound issues they were louder than her so they…

What I find interesting is that unlike some other transphobic second wave feminists, Greer’s insistence that trans women are not women has always seemed to be based on visceral disgust more than the usual a priori theories (which in any event boil down to “trans women aren’t women because they aren’t women”) — as in…

“What they are saying is that because I don’t think surgery will turn a man into a woman I should not be allowed to speak anywhere.”

Agreed! Lake Hollywood Park is by far the best place. There's no need for anyone to be driving up through Beachwood or parking on those streets, they're confusing and annoying and don't yield the best views. But that's why it needs to be accurately mapped, so people don't get sent to Griffith Observatory and then try…

This is fascinating. People act irresponsibly. Your solution is to make a new rule to keep irresponsible people away rather than punishing the irresponsible people. When people riot after a sports team wins a championship we don't react by banning sports teams from winning championships. Sure, it solves the problem…

If you own a house worth seven figures you are rich. It doesn't matter if you are an artist, a business owner, inherited it, it's very small, or if it's common to own a house in the same price range in your city.

So you mean, it's like New York City everyday?

Except you're miseducating, misleading, and obfuscating the directions on how to access the sign. Concern trolls are hollow.

I live near Chicago, and had never gone to St Louis until a month ago. I was all "meh, it's just an arch" and then I drove there. It's a huge motherfucking arch. It's AWESOME. Even though I had somewhere else I needed to be I wanted to see how close I could get to the big shiny arch because AWESOME.

Next people in St. Louis will be deleting the Arch, Chicagoans the Sea...Willis Tower, and the President the Washington Monument.

Great writeup and great service you're providing! Keep it up. If there's a public trail on public lands, then it should stay open, full stop. It's not like "tourists flocking to the Hollywood sign" is some kind of new phenomenon— how long has this been going on without anyone trying to block access? I have yet to hear…

I and a lot of the neighbors love the passion from the tourists.

It doesn't really matter when you started living there.

The smaller homes were there and there were families living there before the sign became a tourist destination, but everyone who is living there now moved in after it was.

If cars are blocking the road that is a city issue and the city needs to take care of it by towing them. Trying to make it so tourists can't find a…

If you don't want to be bothered by tourists, how about NOT buying a house next to a tourist attraction?
