He said that he’s a victim too! Hey, it was just a joke, why can’t you people lighten up?

Such an adorable little cutie-pie! But even if he weren’t, anyone who says those things about another human being, let alone a 2-year old, is vermin. I’m glad they were fired, and I wish there were still public stocks to put people in so that they could have rotten vegetables thrown at them.

I read Crime and Punishment at 12, and understood it pretty well I think, at least in an intellectual sense. So did a number of my friends. (Perhaps we were all incipient Raskolnikovs.) I read War and Peace at 17, and doubt I would have gotten through it at 12 — I probably would have skipped everything except the

A guy at a jewelry store recommended Windex to me, and it works.

The comparison is nonsensical. I’m more functional after physical transition, not less. I didn’t render myself “disabled,” and a vagina is not a mutilated penis.

I’ll repeat exactly what I said above to someone else:

I knew someone would make this idiotic comparison. The point of physical transition is to be more functional in the world, not less. Being a woman is not a disability, and a vagina is not a mutilated penis.

It’s not. It’s the intense lighting that makes it look that way. It’s a pale brown if you see it in person.

Are you serious? What an idiot.

And was later occupied by the Germans.

They’re pretty bad at it, actually — in fact, completely incompetent — if you believe that genocide is their motivation. And, starving? Really?

99% of those involved in the Holocaust escaped prosecution. So please just stop.

What I’m saying is that if someone identifies as a “trans woman” — rather than a non-binary trans person who is neither male nor female — then there’s no need to call them a “binary trans woman,” is there? It’s superfluous. Why not just call them a trans woman, which can encompass a wide range of gender expression,

I have no quarrel at all with what you just wrote.

No problem — I wasn’t really directing my comment at you, but at the fact that it has become a common justification raised in comment threads every single time there’s a discussion of the issue. I have no doubt that there are some trans actors for whom it would in fact be a problem. But I’ve heard others say they

I’ve known or spoken to hundreds of trans women who transitioned in their 30s on up (although none quite as old as Tambor or her character), and although there are plenty who haven’t had surgery, there hasn’t been a single one who wasn’t at least interested in taking hormones and anti-androgens, unless there was a

This is the go-to excuse now for not casting trans women to play trans women, and I think it’s largely B.S. concern trolling. Considering that it’s an assumption people make, and for the most part nobody even tries to cast trans women to play trans women, or ask trans actresses if they’re willing to play a trans

Marion Zimmer Bradley the notorious pedophile who sexually abused her children?

The idea that “feminists” are “viciously aggressive” about defending binary trans women is a joke. There’s still an enormous amount of hostility towards trans women among feminists — particularly binary trans women, because people who identify as “non-binary” or “gender-neutral” are often seen as less wedded to gender

You’re really an asshole.
