i am assuming that none of them bothered to do their due diligence, look up their publication's already stated rules on this type of reporting, and therefore should get called out on doing a lazy fucking job. just because it's not intentionally shitty doesn't make it not a shitty thing to do, and misgendering in a…

if you're a professional journalist and you don't know to look up something in your publication's style guide you are a bad and negligent journalist. this is bad journalism. it might not be ill-will but it is lazy journalism. i can absolutely harp on journalists who do a bad job being journalists, and editors who do…

uhhhh i would presume they'd look it up if they were unsure. i sure as shit have had to read style guides for every publication i've written for, and i've read the AP Style guide like a zillion times in order to not fuck up in reporting classes. if i'd never written about a trans* person or a gender identity…

EGR, this is a good article but you might want to have your editors/headline writers read it.

this only makes sense if you believe that newspapers don't have style guides. all of them do. even the AP style guide has a section on how not to be shitty about the pronouns of trans* people. so yeah, I do expect every single news source in the country to already have rules in place on how to deal with this because…

most places are actually getting rid of the legal obligation to surgically transition in order to get documentation changed. outside of the fucked up legal system, i'm not sure why anyone's genitals would necessarily impact their gender identity.

it's great that your friends felt comfortable transitioning, but you…

uhh i'm not really sure where you're going with this. are you saying a majority of white women didn't have white privilege? there's a large intersection of privileges to be had i.e. you can not have class privilege but still have white privilege. for ex. my dad is a white dude but was the first person in his family…

I like that Kendrick called out Jay Electronica on a track featuring Jay Electronica.

a lot of this stuff went down in long comment threads but not all of it is online. it's hard to keep a record of how he bullied everyone because a lot of women moved their online homes to create safe spaces for themselves. i would presume that hugo explicitly admitting that he used his currency with loud white…

i'm glad y're really invested in looking this stuff up yrself, but by labeling them as combative, angry, stupid, making sure mainstream voices took his side, ignored them, possibly trying to get redlightvoices fired (i don't know what exactly went down with that and i think i've done enough googling for you),…

on the first page of google: http://globalcomment.com/why-do-some-fe…

the non-pology post has plenty of links and explanations in the comments. or you could google it?

"owe it to white women to do that?" stop. also stop with the idea that being seen as a model minority is not harmful.

1) uh yeah all of that has happened and continues happening — just look at how this post initially wrote out the black woman who STARTED THIS HASHTAG.

ha, there's even a write-up on Jez. http://jezebel.com/384139/allegat…

"she started blabbing on endlessly about equality while also deciding that her music would be devoted to the same thing – and then put out subpar music"

yeah, i was corrected — i just wasn't 100% positive, but now i am!

i stand corrected on my vague terminology! i honestly couldn't remember about the comments though I do remember the banning happening. but hasn't racialicious been around in some iteration since like, 2004? at their current home since 2006? i feel like that was pre-Hugo but i could definitely be wrong.

yeah. it still doesn't excuse joints like Jez giving him a platform literally YEARS after all his shit was disclosed. they're pretty culpable.

jezebel is thought to have been deleting comments on hugo's posts from his vocal detractors ie WOC.
