I got this scar over my eyebrow there.

“Women who menstruate” sounds pretty rational.

“People who menstruate” is a bit of an over reach and pretending it is otherwise is absurd.

I’m with you on this, and honestly, I just try to live and let live. My way of thinking is simple - just do your best not to be an asshole. Respect people for who they are and treat them how you’d like to be treated. Golden rule stuff. It’s not difficult. Trying my best not to sound cliche here, but I really do have…

I am very glad to hear that so many people are supportive of trans women, but has anyone picked up that Rowling is also implicitly shitting on many trans men? By saying “people who menstruate” are the same thing as “women”, Rowling is saying any trans men who are still menstruating are actually women. In short,…

There’s just something inherently funny about Daniel Radcliffe ageing into Jon Hamm.

Elijah Wood seems like a pretty good guy.

“People who menstruate” is a perfectly cromulent phrase. It’s clear, concise, and inclusive, doesn’t distort the rules of grammar, and doesn’t use any neopronouns or language to be offended by. To take issue with the use of a phrase, to the point of using your big-ass platform to mock it, is what’s absurd.

Everyone who isn’t exposed to these issues directly will mess up the pronouns from time to time. As long as you’re willing to grow and learn and try to be better, then you are fine. I wouldn’t go as far to resent the people who get mad at you though. They may have a better case to be mad than you have to be resentful.

We all process things at different paces which is fine so long as it’s internal. I can use my own journey being queer as a great example. I used to say that I was attracted to women but could never date one. It was partially due to internalized homophobia/sexism but also due to the fact that I had never seen a…

Radcliffe, in general, seems like a really pleasant, intelligent, well-adjusted guy, though obviously you never really know what celebrities are truly like.

Daniel seems pretty rad.... cliffe.

I dunno, he was pretty great in Lord of the Rings too.

Hard same. The number of times we had to sing that at assembly while talking about bringing the troops home and wearing our blue metal MIA bracelets would beggar belief. (I have nothing against the MIA bracelets, but asking a crowd of fourth graders to all join in to honor/memorialize a random soldier who they don’t…

I dunno - I’m pretty sure a 20-something white girl like Britt Hayes is EXACTLY the type of person who should be telling Terry Crews, and all of us, how to feel about race in America!

Terry Crews isn’t a Nazi. He isn’t a Confederate flag waver, he doesn’t call police “heroes,” and he isn’t even a Republican. He’s also a black man from one of the poorest cities in America and has spent 30 years of his life in two of the most high-profile businesses that treat black people like objects. And, friendly…

Imagine still being upset about Hannah Gadsby.

Some of those who work forces are the same that burn crosses

Today’s hot take: “Trans people don’t deserve rights because back in college my radio station refused to play Lithuanian kazoo symphonies.”
