@PilgrimSoul: exactly! it drives me crazy! a former coworker and still friend, asked why I defined myself that way. he seemed to have a very post-feminist view- you know- you're free, what inequality? he's very intelligent, but he brought up the "humanism" thing, as well. I just gave up. some people will never…

@hottherapisttypegrrrl: uh, not "views"- "friendship".

@little stripes: log cabin republicans make me want to slit my wrists. trying to wrap my head around that shit, well- it makes my head explode. I think they're okay, enough, with everything, as long as politicians tell them that they can keep all of their money. otherwise- as I've never known one, I can only guess.

uh, for the record; my undergrad uni. has changed the "women's studies" department to a different name. it goes beyond gender studies- it's long and complicated- but it's cool to see them make sure that everybody understands that they're talking about equality for all people. some people get all up in arms with…

yeah... I guess I should clarify that it was more of wish, than anything else. it would actually increase ANTM's social relevance. but, I think they're doing a good job exposing people to a reality, that confuses so many.

@schlegs84: fair enough.

@anonymiss: true. yeah, that's the way it tends to go...

@little stripes: I was being flippant? wow. the way things get misinterpreted over the internet.

I find it amusing that people on here think I don't know what gender-reassignment surgery entails. that. is. all.

@schlegs84: yeah, aware. um, you have to do so, as well, to legally take hormones to alter your appearance, voice, and such. that's way before one can be recommended (by a therapist) to have the okay. we don't know where Isis is in the process.

@gold_gato: excellent point. I was also thinking that they'd have to consult with her first. there is a feminist blogger who was transitioning to being a man- then changed her mind. of course, that is rare- but when she spoke of how she "did I ever get my period!", I felt for her situation. first time I'd heard…

@little stripes: true. it is quite complicated, not to mention COSTLY. but, it would be an amazing thing to do for someone.

@gold_gato: aha! you're right! maybe we're in for a "shocking" treat! i remember the tooth thing- had to close my eyes and turn my head. that was like an episode of "House".

@DiffidentDolly: that's what I thought: BLAND.

@jakesmom: I think Isis passes incredibly well. I just felt that it was unfair, last night, for her to be criticized for the way she was posing in a bathing suit, considering. also, I must be really naive: I thought ANTM would be cool enough to pay for some gender reassignment surgery, you know, since this was the…

@I_can_still_pitch: true.

I think it's rather groundbreaking- I mean, Isis (along with Elina) are the fucking hottest of the bunch. I couldn't believe it when, last week, she was attacked for "not dressing like a model" at judging. what the fuck does that even mean?

@Inkymonkey: yeah, I love redheads- but what they did to Elina? high fashion, yes. but she was so stunning before!

@Reenz: yeah! is there any pro-ana tips within this book? protruding shoulder blades? sign me up!

@JessicaLovejoy: Heart of Dykeness: true! if I didn't enjoy the fact that I could pull men and women all of the time (if I really, really, really) wanted to- this would be much more effective than my wedding band- no man or woman interested in me pays attention to that shit- but they'd notice desperation with this…
