This is the same company that outed a man. Don’t expect them to be rational on the topic, especially after Rich penned his bullshit on the topic this morning.

Yeah, it reads to me like he feels he was very involved with how this has been handled and is good with the outcome. I don’t really get the need to continue to side-eye it until Zeke says we should.

Also, not that it makes this any better, but Zeke is actually out in his personal life, he just didn’t want to play Survivor as “the trans player,” he wanted to play as Zeke.

Remember, he was a returnee castmember: I think the fact that CBS chose to not use it as a dramatic tool in his previous appearance (can you imagine another reality show doing that?) suggests that they were pretty much as Zeke has outlined. 

What happened?
Did she try to drive herself to work?

“conflicted with the values which underpin our readers” - there’s so much in here, and yet so little.

I gotta say though... that’s a pretty good Twitter apology.

I understand trans individuals wanting to live their lives as their truest selves, and I applaud that.

Not that the irony isn’t there a bit. But I recall rich being one of the many GM staffers opposed to running that clusterfuck of a story.

Oh, the irony. I wonder how the CFO of Conde Nast feels about this.

Everyone is always so ABOVE everything.

Always fun to go back and reread the comments of that one. Not a good look for many people, especially the author.

We’ve come a long way since “‘Is the UVA Rape Story a Gigantic Hoax?’ Asks Idiot.”

I don’t know how this ended up as a reply to you. It was meant to be a reply to someone down thread who was taking about what’s done in Europe. Sorry!

I’m going to add my 2 cents here and back you up. Maybe it’s the influence of my Native friends, but I’ve stopped doing blood quantum for me and my family. We are “X and Y,” not “half X” and “half Y.” And I avoid enumerating anyone else’s heritage for that same reason— it doesn’t tell you anything about their…

This is a vapid statement. Becoming an “it girl” may have gone to her head a little.

It makes me slightly uncomfortable to define sex as a thing that can be “withheld” by one half: the corollary to that is that it’s therefore a “thing” that can also be taken.

Dear Anna:

You would be glad to see that the Washington Post yesterday published an update in which it confirmed that Ms. Erdely did not talk to the accusers. As you have a Masters in Journalism from Columbia University, I am sure you will remember the introductory classes in which you were told to at least try to…

We DO know Jackie's real name - it's Jackie. In the WaPo article, Erdely notes that she did not use a pseudonym for her.
