Oh, yeah, you’re right. I can’t imagine too many trans people will be racing towards the military after being explicitly told they are not wanted, even if they’ve dreamed of being soldiers for a long time. I personally can’t imagine why—but people do dream of serving.

Haters have, of course, invaded the “Audience” section of the site, with only 88 percent of plebeian viewers claiming to have enjoyed Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf’s layered mother-daughter sparring.

Percentage-wise, it isn’t a lot, but numbers-wise, it’s more than I would have guessed.

Picturing all this is making my day.

oh man, THROW BACK to reading notes aloud. [crumbles note up and tosses it onto your desk]

Holy shit I just googled it. I don’t think that origin story is common knowledge in the US orrrrrr I live under a rock.

I hope you know that every time someone comments on a thread, they bump it towards the top of the comments!

Let. It. Be. Thusly.

omg

It is my understanding that you can only be called “Princess First Name” if you were born a princess, like Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice. Otherwise, you are “HRH Princess Your Husband’s Name.” Like Sarah Ferguson—she was a duchess, as Meghan will be. But her children will be princes and princesses.

“Good People of the Dystopian Gawkerverse: This is not and has never been a feminist blog NOR is it even a site for women any longer—it is now a site that interests ElephantShoe.

Yeah, and she must know Harry wouldn’t give two shits if she didn’t give her blessing. I just saw a clip of his father and he looks genuinely pleased and sort of even glowing. When you have the approval of your parent, grandparents—even the Queen of England—aren’t really an obstacle.
