Farewell, Oberyn.. but hello, Sand Snakes! Dorne shall rise again! Hail House Sunspear!!

I hope it's paid for by right-wing tears.

all day, erryday. god he's fit. i have dated men of all shapes, sizes, heights, weights and races. i'm like the UN of d. but just once - just once - i would like to know what its like to be with someone who has abs like that. i would probably black out and not be able to enjoy it.

Kneel peasants!

No, you look at them and declare yourself again the victim in this scenario.

Somewhat related, re: they're among us.

Over and over again, I've seen commenters, bloggers and even a few media types make comments about how much 'better' it would have been if Rodgers had just 'had sex with hookers'. As a sex worker, I can't tell you how appalled this makes me. Please, stop wishing more of these monsters on us. We already deal with (and…

An important lesson all men should be taught, at a young age, by their parents, is that being a "nice guy" is meaningless without some value behind it. You're nice? That's awesome. Are you also interesting, social, confident and a great cook? Do you know how to fix a car, take out a bullet, dance a jig, sing a song,…

Crimes like these are the responsibility of all men. It doesn't matter how small a percentage of men rape and kill women, or that they kill men too, as long as there exists a single rapist or murderer of women, men are collectively responsible. Because we as a gender have failed to fulfill our prime responsibility,…

Is this show filmed in NY (forgive my ignorance)? I saw the most enchantingly beautiful woman with vitiligo the other day (In Brooklyn). So hard not to stare! But the symmetry of her coloration looked like she was wearing some kind of elegant mask. Can't not look at so much pretty!

Breasts are not genitals. But feel free to walk around with your shirt off, i guarantee you would be fine and could upload to instagram to your heart's content

Nope, but you can walk around anywhere with your nipples hanging out. And so can I.

Annnnddd....false equivalency raises its ugly head!

No one calls Ms. Carrera out for referring to herself as "fish" to mean she is "passable" which is an insult to cisgender women and trans woman who do not pass.

I'm glad you agree about private usage. But I remained concerned that attempting to stop Ru's use of a word that forms her self-identity I'd incredibly problematic. I've never been misgendered, but I have been misidentified and it's painful, not only to have my identity erased, but also to have to correctly identify…

No, I think it's problematic to exclude drag performers from transgender identity because for those of them that identify with their drag persona, as many do, enact many of the qualities that define transgenderism. I think, furthermore, that the exclusion is at least in part internalized homophobia, as when gay men…

How is it co-opting if they used the word first?

I was a club kid in the late 80's/ early 90's, and went to lots of the same parties as RuPaul, LaHoma Van Zandt, Lady Bunny, Larry Tee, Michael Alig (yes, THAT one), and no one ever used "tranny" or "she-male" as a slur/hate speech... I think it is a generational thing. I remember where there were silly contests (like…

Ru's use of the term is admittedly part of a sexual-minority dialect which does not have a one-to-one relationship with English at large, or even with dialects of other sexual minorities. I can't help but think, though, that in policing Ru's language and denying him access to the term, there's some element of…

Sorry, but I agree with RuPaul. If your idea of happiness is built on someone else changing what they say, what they do, then you really are in for a hard-ass road. I've read so many posts regarding this issue and I still don't see how the word "tranny" is offensive. I don't see people saying that "queen" or "twink"…
