Transes is not a fucking word. Again, shut the fuck up.

Shut the fuck up you transphobe.

I remain convinced that something in the union contract/sales contract required Univision to offer Rich a spot and they assigned him to Jezebel hoping he’d quit. Since that didn’t work, I assume they’ve stolen his stapler and moved his desk to the basement.

It’s filming on my street in Toronto. By all means, add Drake to the cast!

Ditto; my working hypothesis is that there is a troll posing as a regular, above average commenter whose been followed/recommended by the writing staff who enables the others. Or some equally tinfoily alternative.

Have you considered that even if trans-women “are only 15% of,” that 15% faces all kinds of dangers and stresses ciswomen do not, hence they deserve attention disproportionate to their percentage of (the population, I presume)?

Dude. If you truly aren’t a douchebag this barrage of people calling you out will make you better, and I add to it because such barrages against stupid shit I have said have (I think) made me a better feminist. People who say and believe stupid shit are redeemable and I hope you redeem yourself.
