It was my first year of college and there was a girl I liked for a few months. We had a few classes together and always got along. But she had a long time boyfriend. They had been together for about 3 years.

It continues to frustrate me that the writers of Jezebel seem to believe there is no nuance whatsoever regarding this issue. It seems Jez’s readers recognize that athletics is an entirely different matter from any other issue of trans inclusion, yet the writers just cannot see it. 

This is what drives me fucking insane as a trans woman. Because on the one side, you have a ton of cis people saying things that are just blatantly incorrect because they don’t understand just how much HRT changes your body, especially if you start young. To give you an idea, I started at 19 and the movement of my…

I say this as someone who is a trans reader and longtime commenter here: this article does not really help to advocate for trans issues. The idea of “variation exists, therefore it’s fine” does not adequately address this issue. A better set of arguments is:

I mean they all sound like crimes.

orrrr five more kids to start their own doomed and noble house...! hehehe

Ariana Grande was seen kissing a mystery man in West Hollywood. Here they are sneaking out of Lucky Strike.

Even if she just eased up a bit. Some of the snark is so strident that I find myself feeling defensive of people I’ve never even heard of before. When it’s not funny it’s just kind of mean. 

A genuine plea: can we put Joan on the serious-topics beat (her piece on the California fires was moving and beautiful) and take her off the pop-culture-snark? Because it’s not where her talents lie. Half her snark is incomprehensible, and the other half is just wrong.

Waad’s dress says “we dared to dream” and “we don’t regret asking for our dignity.”

I must disagree about Brie Larson, she wears that color and similar a lot and it looks good on her! 

That’s a wonderful ad. It’s informative, tells the truth, and offers a product that can help so many.

Garrett, your Dirt Bags (and your other writing on Jezebel) are the perfect balance of funny and kind. I admire your ability to *gently* poke fun. They should have you write all week!

“She seemed really excited, though!”

Sounds like Meek need Irina Shayk as a life coach.

Well, she would have been a real influencer, that’s for Goddamn sure.

As someone who is immunocompromised, may I just say: I hope she gets an infected ingrown taint hair that doesn’t heal right for at least a month. 

I saw the reaction to Sonmez’s tweet yesterday and was holding my breath for the WaPo’s reaction. Yup. They made the wrong call, just like I thought they would. You don’t punish a reporter for conveying accurate information. She didn’t tweet it directly to his family. She didn’t add commentary calling him anything…

I initially thought her boobs were airbrushed onto the dress like one of these t-shirts:

Can we please stop calling Jessie J a Jenna Dewan impersonator and other regressive bullshit when it comes to these two women? Why are we pitting them against each other because they dated the same man? It's so gross. Jenna is happy, Jessie is happy, they both have dark hair, let's move the fuck on. Dunk on Channing…
