Yep. Conforming to culturally defined femininity was absolutely a major part of Lili Elbe's persona, so it's quite a stretch to take a snipe at the actor for this particular statement, at least. By contrast, the shots at the studio for casting a cis man in a role a trans woman could have taken are more reasonable —…

But I'm not sure what you would want people like me to do, other than say, yes, the cruelty and protests are un-Christlike and unacceptable.

Does Taylor Swift really have a reputation for being stupid? Her business acumen, at the very least, appears to be off the charts.

Yet another reason to REALLY despise pro-life Christians (not that we needed one). Until I checked Facebook I had no idea these assholes had set up tons of groups online under the guise of "love of prayer" that exist for the sole reason to criticize Maynard's choice and use social media and organized protests to…

Here is the thing — Bill Maher's basic premise (that the texts of Islam define a religion of violence, subjugation, and misogyny) is not incorrect. What is problematic, however, is how frequently he moves into racist (particularly anti-Arab) territory, how misogynistic his routines are, and how little respect he…

White people have the weirdest fucking cults.

Oh yeah. Totally forgot about this one. The TV show, which admittedly wasn't as good, had me all aboard the Maggie/Nenene ship.

Nice list, and thank you for not including Kannazuki no Miko here. I might quibble with the placement of Noir (other than the amazing soundtrack I thought it was a decent, but not great series — definitely didn't pack the same punch for me as Utena), but to each her own.

To be fair, this mirrors plenty of the bad teacher-student sex/suspense flicks from my teenaged years.

I mean, this image pretty much reinforces the problem. Look at where the focus is in this drawing, versus the focus in the other.

I'm with you. More than anything, Shark Week makes me want to see sharks eat people I don't like.

Would anyone care to hook a non-troll up? Pretty please?

Also, does each site have a separate pending list, or is there is a universal commenter list?

If you can't beat the police state, why not join it?

I'm not certain you can separate them entirely. Some would say that black men, being the most marginalized and demonized class of people in the country, are simply the canaries in the coal mine of our new and improved police state.

I've noticed that Gawker attracts more trolls than other Kinja sites with the exception of Jezebel (because men love harassing women anywhere, anytime), probably because it's the main site hub.

Nail hit on the head, and in concise fashion. Your second paragraph summarizes most of the cultural tension in Western Europe at the moment.

I mean, I agree in principle — there is a nuanced conversation to be had about gender roles and the radical feminist interpretation of gender vs third wave interpretation. I'm not certain that this is the place to have that out, however, particularly considering the OP's obvious slurring/trolling.

Which part? The fabricated bit about trans people telling inter-sexed people how lucky they are, the incorrect interpretation of chromosomes and sex, or the fabricated claims of violence perpetrated by trans women.

I remember your post from the Andreja Pejic piece on ROYGBIV a couple of weeks back. Your claims of ignorance and half-hearted apology to Kat can now be seen as pretty disingenuous, I would say. You should at least be brave enough to express your disdain for trans people and their allies openly.

I can't really say…
