I always have referred to this as your schmatta. An inexpensive, comfortable garment that you don’t care if it gets a stain, can be tossed in the washer and dryer... but at the same time you can answer the door or run to the post box down the street and be decent. My preferred use for a schmatta is as a cover-up when…

Between working from home and the covid-19lbs, jeans are out and dresses are in.

For fucks sake. They raped women and children. Ellen was a mean boss. In what fucking world are these things equivalent?

Agreed, 100%. Other people’s medical decisions and how they raise their kids are totally their business, but as a woman who transitioned post-puberty...That bell can’t be un-rung, and it takes an enormous amount of effort to offset the effects.

I mean, if you absolutely, 100% have no way to get your daughter on some kind of testosterone blockers, or even estrogen (which will naturally knock down T via the HPG axis); well, that really sucks. But if there is a way for you to do it, I would definitely give it more thought.

That makes sense, although not offering blockers to under-16yos is kind of wild. Kind of like “we only sell locks to people who have already been burgled!”

Commenting to plug RAD Remedy (www.radremedy.org) - it’s a database of trans/queer/LGBTQ+ providers where you can upload good and bad reviews.

“The Referral Aggregator Database (RAD) is a nationally-collaborative referral network identifying care providers who serve trans, gender non-conforming, intersex, and queer…

Can you explain a bit further on the blockers thing? I can’t speak for anyone but myself, but I would give anything to have been able to take blockers before entering puberty. Puberty is what leads to a need for looooooong hours of electrolysis, careful vocal training, and a host of other things that are simply…

Just wanted to chime in that there’s nothing to be afraid of - there are ton of good, compassionate, skilled surgeons out there, and new talent coming to the field now that insurance is starting to cover it more.

As did nearly every comment on here. Did you read a single one supporting your take?

A bitchy compliment towards Taylor Swift yet the transphobic Cardi B is praised by a trans woman.

The "bravely" comes off as unnecessarily snarky. No decent human being is pro-voter suppression. If all they wanted to do was highlight Swift's statement against Trump's garbage tactics, it was easy enough to write a headline that read neutral at best. I rarely comment on the Taylor stuff, and I'm bored of the…

You know what’s good feminism? Not shitting on women for using their platform for good.

It’s gotten exhausting. I’ve never really had much of a opinion on her but I do admire the fact that she’s obviously become educated on the issues enough to speak out and risk potential backlash. Why not call out the celebs who just insulate themselves by not wanting to be seen as "political"?

and all that hate for Taylor. 

Jamie angrily denied long-standing rumors that he or anyone else is skimming money off the top of Britney’s estate.

I can believe the Ellen stories. And to me - and I’m not saying this to defend her because I’ve always found her show annoying and fake - it says more about the industry than anything else that all these stories are coming out, in the sense that if the non-assholes are the exception, not the rule, then it’s an…

Even if you don’t plant the seeds, you can still end up with a fake review.

Pursuing these lawsuits is such an odd choice for him. If his motivation is to protect/repair his reputation from the divorce, it is backfiring.

I’m really confused as to what Depp is trying to accomplish here. These accusations had pretty well been put to bed after the divorce. He could have moved on and not brought it up, thereby letting it fade from public memory. Other celebrities have survived far worse scandals simply by leaving them in the past.
