I bought a pint of their birthday cake flavor, ate two bites and threw it in the trash.

I’m not being an asshole; I haven’t said anything about the child or the parents, except to say that in looking to pin the blame for their suicidal child committing suicide on an online game, they are no longer exempt from my judgement, as their child’s death has now become (by their choice) a matter to be debated in…

This kid didn’t play the choking game; he committed suicide. And if ‘processing grief’ involves looking externally for scapegoats (in this case, an apocryphal online game), yeah, it’s now MY business, too.

Again, it’s the way the criticism is levied. If you have an issue with the language Rupaul uses, fine. But what you’re NOT going to do is brand Rupaul as a perpetrator of violence against trans people when he was out in the streets fighting for his life against transphobia before you were even born, all because he…

I find it fascinating that in a situation where someone who does not identify as female is pregnant with a child and carrying it to term, it’s the language that we need to be cautious about causing dysphoria. Not the, you know, baby in a uterus.

There are plenty of situations where Cis women have been encouraged to refrain from drawing correlations between their gender and anatomy because it’s ‘transexclusionary.’

i’m not sure if you’re serious or an alt-right troll.

A specific problem I have, which doesn’t only relate to this discussion but to a lot of queer/feminist discourse in general, is the total ambivalence towards the notion that elders within the queer/feminist community have had a completely different experience, and that their perspective, while open to being challenged…

The best was the end when Martha checked out and was like “Ok y’all be blessed” and everyone went into a tailspin.

I wrote about it upthread, but I thought the Martha Plimpton/March of Thousand Vaginas fallout (storify link below) was a very unfortunate example of what you’re asking about. It wasn’t SO large scale, per se, but it involved a pretty high profile event.

It’s more than that. Prominent trans activists encouraged allies to not attend the March of a Thousand Vaginas’ due to the ‘trans exclusionary title.’Martha Plimpton was shouted down by people a third her age and called a TERF because she dared speak unapologetically about her own anatomy.

Do you honestly think the point of my comment was to demand the comically precise level of casting that members of the queer community idealize? I thought it was quite clear I’m lamenting this level of woke-ness, not celebrating it.

There is literally nothing he could say that wouldn’t cause deep emotional distress to some sector of the queer community. The very fact that he, a straight white cis man, is involved in ANYTHING LGBTQ is already cause for a few dozen thinkpieces.

Unpopular opinion but speaking as a gay person, I don’t think the lawsuit is necessary. If this douchebag baker thinks his dusty ass cakes shouldn’t be tainted by a gay wedding then he should be allowed to be a douchebag with a depleted clientele.

Wait I’m so confused. I thought that was a picture of Earl Sweatshirt with Sharpton’s face photoshopped on.

I honestly find myself liking Mormons over any other devout Christian demographic and if there’s any sect that I think actually has a chance of moving forward and fully accepting LGBT members, it’s Mormons. I feel like if one of their Apostles stands up and says “You know what? Spread the love around. It’s fine. Be…

48. I had zero recollection of Danaerys saying *anything* to make Drogon fly. let along ‘Valahd.’

Cool story.

You’re horrible but so am I so I love you.

It makes it more difficult. Which is an act of suppression.
