On one hand I’m very pro union, but on the other I do find the very concept of a reality star union to be fucking ridiculous. I mean, I’ve never watched any Real Housewives but isn’t like half the appeal that all these women are pretty much already living in the laps of luxury? If there really are problems on set,…

“Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey...stuff” is the exact level of science I need from the show,

“By that same regard, though, it’s likely some longtime fans might find it hard to stomach the changes to their favorite show, particularly its aforementioned shift from pure sci-fi to fantasy.”

Thank you. The idea that this show (which I love) has ever qualified as hard SF in any sense is just weird.

“shift from pure sci-fi to fantasy”? Doctor Who has been squarely in the fantasy camp for the vast majority of it airtime.  

This might well be a good movie, but it really feels like a "I'll wait until it hits streaming" movie.

“AYE WHAT ABOUT THIS ONE SCREENSHOT OF PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET BEING ASSHOLES?”

Yes, people on the internet are assholes, present company included. They also don’t represent the real world, which is the place where trans folks are at FOUR times higher risk of being the victims of violence when compared to ALL…

Christ, you TERFs are so credulous. No one is bullying women, especially not the women I know who back trans rights to the hilt. No one is sterilizing children, especially not the parents and doctors who spend years in therapy and careful observation, slow walking social transition. I know you’re just some piece of…

>Since we’re asking questions, answer this one Jonny Boy: If genitalia does not define gender, why do trans people alter their genitals to “affirm” it?

Not all trans people alter that genitals with surgery. Many trans men don’t do bottom surgery, same goes for many trans women. not sure what your point was other than…

Jesus, dude. There’s something really wrong with you. Your comments reek of fear and insecurity. Women are not scared of trans people. It’s men who are. Men who know they’re a loser who have decided to focus on a marginalized group in a desperate attempt to make themselves feel better about their own pathetic lives.…

“Vulnerable women reliant on single sex spaces.”

A lot of women can’t give birth, either. Are they not real women? Transphobia is very real. You exemplify it. You’re totally scared of a concept that you don’t understand. Which brings up a good question. Someone as dumb as you are obviously can’t comprehend much of the modern world. How do you even leave the house?…

This is about restrooms again?

I mean, I was in an airport restroom once where a man came in and went into a stall and no one cared. Not a trans person, an actual cis man.

He needed to go, that was the nearest restroom. No big deal.

If JK Rowling would have run out screaming, that’s on her. The rest of us gals are cool.

A…

My trans nephew was a huge Harry Potter fan growing up. Going to conventions, dressing up, buying wands, etc, etc. Talk about crushed. It just seems so needless.

Yeah. The irony here is that the Harry Potter kids are more famous, more influential, and more associated with the franchise in the popular imagination than she’ll ever be. 

“However, of the general phenomenon that pit the actors against the author, he observes, “There’s a version of ‘Are these three kids ungrateful brats?’ that people have always wanted to write, and they were finally able to. So, good for them, I guess.””

I can’t believe we haven’t yet gotten an SNL sketch about how the books feature multiple scenes of boys sneaking into a girls’ bathroom to take a shape-changing potion.

That’s not what happened, but since you’re out of the greys: An NHS-affiliated medical association performed a meta-analysis of the existing data, but used stricter criteria than other policy makers, which led to a great deal of research data being excluded from their analysis.

So they came to a different conclusion…

Beyond the hatefulness of her views, it makes her look really, really bad to be so petty and vicious toward these grown-up kid actors who are by all accounts and appearances, really great people, in spite of all the show business weirdness they must have encountered

I agree. It is really sad. It’s pretty incredible how far she’s descending in a relatively short amount of time. It makes me happy that he publicly and clearly condemns her for it.
