Photography is commercially viable. It just also happens to be competitive - like a lot of "commerically viable" professions are.

The question was about understanding their reaction. I personally would've reacted in a far more understated way. It goes without saying that other people will (and have) react differently than me. What is the point of discussion if we shouldn't share our differing experiences? That's why we discuss! Look, we only…

Come now. Just seems that you have chosen to post this as a chance for people to take umbrage to term that is rarely used anyway. While there are very real discriminatory challenges people who can't hear face, sensitivity training is just a salve for those who are truly prejudiced and a lesson in endless terminology…

Whoa! Way to clean up spilled milk by burning down the house! I didn't say anything about discrimination. In my view, the people got what they wanted (awareness that a word was used that was out of date) and were satisfied. I do think there's a big bullshit machine surrounding this all, though. 1) Don't call for…

? Who are you responding to?

I know... I was kinda sad when it didn't really look like a penis. Hoping a little too much

I'm not telling someone how they're supposed to feel. I'm saying I personally don't understand feeling upset when someone says something stupid out of ignorance.

Then, honestly, why are we reading about this non-issue? Somebody wrote a note with out-dated terminology out of ignorance. The offended party got irate and were responded to. End. Of. Story.

I don't. Be offended when something is done in malice. When done in ignorance, politely inform and move on.

The answer is: "Yes." Changes the whole concept of "sell yourself" though doesn't it? I always felt it was a bit crass the way they always tell you that's what you have to do to get a job. A bit too close for comfort to the idea of prostitution.

At TEN?!?!?

I kinda hate phenomena like this. We've turned doctors into service industry workers who follow the smell of money instead of the Hippocratic Oath.

Oh! It's so true. I kinda miss the sexualized weather girls that I used to see in various Western Eurpean countries... pretty funny. I will concur with the OP on one thing, though. I like a lot of British TV and the actors look like regular folk of varying different body types, ethnicities and all-around facial…

"You'll feel like there's a doctor back there preparing your food," he said."

Well... true.

Huh... Never thought of it that way.

I love what she said: "This is your life, and you think you have forever!"

That's very sweet, but logically, if your argument is how much hormones control our gender traits, then wouldn't it make it that much easier for a trans-phobic person to say that our biology determines our sex?

Traits get "stuck"? Like what - do you mean cultural traits or physical ones? The only thing I noticed was the guy's hands seemed a little small for his frame. I thought the woman looked totally normal, though.

Why in the ever loving hell would you have sex with him, then?
