I believe trans-women are women, and were born women. They simply lack a uterus. There are studies that show that trans-women and trans-men have brains more like the gender they feel they actually are. Their experiences are going to be different, of course, than a cis-woman’s experience, but that doesn’t mean they…

I’m going to preface all this by saying I’m a bigger girl: thin, flat-chested girls have always been the favorite of designers, and who they want representing their brand. Most women in the USA are overweight, but you wouldn’t know that, looking at the sizes at most clothing stores. A few times a year there’s a think…

I can’t absorb the feel-good vibes of this story because all I’m able to feel is fury at his mother.

Sounds more like a Midwestern thing.

I empathize with a lot of what you’re saying.

If they can vote, they’re citizens and not relying on Visas. I’m not saying you’re wrong that such beliefs (if they hold them) are racist, but this particular executive order isn’t going to hurt them.

You need reading comprehension lessons.

“Every race struggles and some don’t.”

I think we need to do a left version of the tea party to get these fuckers in line, personally.

Again, whether or not they are homeless does not matter. It does not change anything else that I wrote. The “joke” doesn’t magically become funny because they were simply desperately poor instead of desperately poor and homeless.

I have a hard time believing that you find race-based observational humor from comedians of color to be “safe” and “boring.” They’re definitely punching up.

What point are you trying to make, exactly? The entire point of my post is that it’s not funny; whether or not they’re homeless doesn’t change the fact that it’s not a good joke.

Yeah. Unfortunately, that is a very good point. Although, Adele has won so many awards at this point, I don’t think she cares about winning more. And the music industry would be silly to “punish” her since, at the end of the day, she will still make them a lot of money.

Exactly. How is having homeless people hold up antisemitic signs funny? Even if you’re a neo-nazi piece of garbage, jokes like that have to be super old by now.

Oh, I definitely agree giving Beyonce the award would have been condescending. I think the appropriate action would have been to not accept it at all, which she could have done.

I’d like what Adele did a lot more if she stood by what she said in the speech, and didn’t accept the award. Also, I could have done without the weird/creepy “I wish Beyonce was my mommy” comment.

It’s directed at the first sentence of your initial post.

Nah. Kamala Harris 2020

Racism has never been “over.” It’s just been easier, until now, for clueless white people to pretend it is.

Hanoverian jaw isn’t a thing. Did you mean the Habsburg jaw?
