No, it means that the daughter-to-daughter lineages of all other “breeding females” living at that the same time as “Mitochondrial Eve” died out at some point.  (Men don’t pass on the mitochondrial DNA they inherit.)  Nobody thinks that she was the only human female living at that time.

Is that consistent with the increasing evidence that humans arrived in Australia at least 40,000-50,000 years ago? Could they really have left Northeast Africa and gotten all the way to Southeast Asia and then to Australia that quickly? And does it really make sense that there was only one single migration out of…

Obviously I agree that women in their 40s are “stunning,” to use your term. I’m talking about how women seem to be perceived by most men.

It’s different for women.

63 here and just lost my latest job. I was amazed I got that one, but it lasted only 10 months. I am not optimistic for the future, especially because I used up almost all my savings during my last period of unemployment, and because I have chronic health issues. But — I like to think of myself as still being…

All the people who think Stan is going to kill Angel are projecting on the basis of stereotypical “tragic trans woman” narratives in the past (and on the basis of wrongly assuming that she’s based on Venus Xtravaganza). That’s not what this show is about, and Ryan Murphy has even said that no trans women are murdered…

Her name is Bianca Castro.  You can see it in the credits.  “Jiggly Caliente” was just the name she used when performing on RPDR.

Maybe, but it’s not like 40 or 50 years ago when speaking roles as Native Americans were almost universally cast with white people wearing a lot of bronzer.

OK, fine.  But I’ve seen photos, and you certainly can’t deny the burly part.  

A number of trans actors have addressed this point:  all of this wouldn’t be so bad if trans actors were ever given a chance to play cis characters of their gender.  But they aren’t.  So as long as that opportunity is closed to them, they should at least be considered first for trans roles.  Especially in preference…

This is all irrelevant.  They’ve started to take them out, one by one.  They can’t wait any longer.

Just talking about team sports, you do know that baseball is extraordinarily popular all through Latin America, Japan, and South Korea? In other words, a lot more than two countries!  And how about men’s and women’s basketball -- Spain, France, Italy, the Baltic countries, Russia, China, South America?

Definitely file a complaint with your state bar association.  I’d be very surprised if they had the right t0 go beyond the amount of your retainer without your permission.

I’m sorry things are so hard.  But I promise you that living with your parents at 29 does not make you a loser.  Lots of people have to, and there’s nothing wrong with it.

You need to block this man permanently.  You don’t need that kind of nastiness in your life.  Nobody does.

How about a laser pointer, although that something you have do with your cat, as opposed to leaving it for the cat to play with?

You’re comparing the experience of having had a particular illness to something like gender?  Then why is it not like race?  Why do you draw the line where you do?

As Trace Lysette pointed out, this wouldn’t be so bad if trans people ever got cast as non-trans people. They’re almost never considered for roles like that, because people don’t believe they can play them.  So at least they should be seriously considered to play trans roles

Unfortunately, trans actors get cast only in trans roles.  But they’re shut out of even those roles because of vanity projects like this one.

I assume you agree that white actors shouldn’t play black people or Native Americans in blackface or redface.  Why is transface any different?  Where do you draw the line?
