Biphobia is so, so awful. While I know gay people who have used bi as a stepping-stone orientation, most of the bi people I know are actually bi and feel like there's pressure on them from the straight and gay communities to pick a side. I, as a straight ciswoman, would love to date a bi man as long as he's a kind,…

I'd suggest looking up interviews with Laverne Cox and Janet Mock - two transwomen who only emerged on the scene after spending a long amount of time fully "transformed" - voices, appearance, and I believe surgeries. They both are "passable" and are very fem-normative: dresses, heels, makeup, etc. They're also both…

I didn't say all, I said many. I know that no one is excited for such a procedure. Someone else said it best "women want an abortion in the way a bear in a trap wants to gnaw off its leg". If it conflicts with your religion, or you want a child but can not afford or raise one, it can be traumatic - which is exactly…

Yes, and all at the Bada Bing (which is actually five minutes from my house, I shit you not)

She can do anything she puts her mind to, even fly! (I think about that line and laugh every week I watch the show)

Yes. Look at Hilary getting involved in that chewing gum webseries. Each kid had the perfect involvement in that, and she was able to really show herself off as Diane's child.

Bert is the sweetest little peanut. When they showed him at the door after Meg's "handsome" with his little smile and little outfit I just cooed. He's a hyper, passionate, excited little kid - I work with kids just like him at my school. They sing in the hallways and wave to you because they're happy to see you and…

I know her from VH1, so I've been familiar with her for years and years. She's also had commercial work.

Hello, fellow Jerseyan!

It's weird because he's basically front and center in the subway promo poster too. The fat storyline went nowhere and was shitty and clashing because the show celebrates Mindy's body. She either says she loves it, she has cute dudes all over her, etc. So it was strangely fatphobic in a show that otherwise champions…

"How I Met Your Egg Donor"

I think the happy smiling and the misty-eyed look was the answer there. She didn't look shocked; she looked straight-up starry-eyed.

It just doesn't happen on network TV anymore - you only see that on Sex and the City and other cable shows. It's a lousy play for high stakes and it's irresponsible - female-majority shows should always, always have their characters using the pill or condoms to inform the women watching (especially younger women) that…

Quinn did shut Olivia out though. olivia did try to express her want for Quinn to stay.

I just don't think that naturally that arc points to becoming a government torturer. This girl had people who cared about her, a stable job. She could have been mad at them, forgiven them eventually, moved on. Gotten a boyfriend and a dog. Nobody at OPA really acted in malice towards her until she turned. The natural…

These guys just perplex me - do they identify as white because they KNOW it's a better assimilation tactic, or are they blind to their parents' race, or do they just think they're white because they haven't encountered work discrimination, speak English fluently, and live in a mostly-white area? They all have ethnic…

According to the internet, 75% white (more than state average, 6.7 black, 0.4 American Indian/Alaskan, 15.5 Asian alone, 0.1 Native American, 1.8 biracial or more, 17.3 Latino/a/Hispanic, and white alone (non-Hispanic) is 60.

As someone else mentioned, it's the equivalent to "darkie". It's a skin-based slur, just like "yellowman".

That's ridiculous to me. I watched Reel Injun and was floored by how negative media has depicted Native Amerians and sadly, there aren't a lot of famous actors or positive roles that can expand the average knowledge of Native American culture. Adam Beech doesn't get to play NDN all that often and there aren't a lot of…

True. The Midwest/Southwest has a stronger presence and population. I'm from Jersey and despite the fact that a LARGE portion of our cities (and even more towns) have Native American names I have never met a Native American person here and we don't have a lot of Navajo Nation imagery/fashion/culture/etc. We do have a…
