Your MIL actually demonstrates who Caitlyn is really a role model for — mature adults who need a tangible example of a trans person in their minds before they can be open and accepting to people in their lives undergoing the same experiences. Bruce Jenner was a hero for his generation who embodied the masculine…

I think Caitlyn and her story is huge for the transgender community in so many ways. I was at home visiting my parents when her interview aired, and my parents are very old fashioned Catholics and don’t always have the most progressive views. I was a bit worried about what their reaction would be, and I was so…

Pausing for a second to contemplate the fact that TMZ’s hardball tactics could have led to Jenner’s suicide. This is not fun and games, this is dangerous stuff. I’m glad she made it through, and I join to chorus of congratulations.

i cannot with the red dress, the shades, the car. gurllll.

Part of the problem is that Asian/Mixed-Asian/Polynesian/Hapa actors are so underrepresented in Hollywood that taking away literally one of a few parts available to them and give them to a white person is never going to be the same thing as a PoC being cast as a white character. Never.

(Re: transitioning for attention): “It ain’t happening.”

I love this. Like there’s no other response to this besides lol and gtfo and who even are you. What kind of paranoid poopy diaperpants person believes this? “THE KARDASHIAN / JENNERS FAKED THE MOON LANDING AND NOW THIS????????? Enough is enough”

because white people aren’t 6.6% of the demographics coming out of hollywood. additionally, rue was not recast as someone black, she was black in the books. louis ck’s wife isn’t being cast as someone not black, angelina jolie in salt proved that the film worked regardless of gender.

In context it makes a bit more sense, given the family dynamic she’s coming from. There are plenty of trans women who don’t play that game-I don’t wear makeup and my wardrobe would probably be best described as “functional”. But, with that said, it’s a very dangerous world for most trans women. Oftentimes “prettying…

It’s also crazy that Aloha came out at the same time as this incredible William Finnegan personal history about Hawaii and race and surfing and devotion, in the New Yorker—make that white man’s Hawaii story into as nuanced a movie as the piece was and I’d be there for it 100%

What kicks me though is that “Allison Ng,” minor spelling differences aside, is my actual daughter’s name. She happens to be 50% Chinese. Imagine it sure would have been cool for her to see a positive character with HER NAME who was an actual Asian person. Instead it’s the usual “no one looks like me” crap.…

A member of the group, Rev. Judy Stowell, tells the Guardian that exclusively referring to God as “He” gives worshippers a “deficient understanding” of the nature of the divine.

I remember that. And that book actually seemed interesting because Edward sounded like a serial killer. Always fantasizing about killing students and Bella. That’s what a vampire is supposed to be, not what Twilight proposed.

I always think his name is Meek Milk, which for some reason makes me imagine a little boy quietly nibbling on cookies.

When Amandla hangs out with Kiernan Shipka and all their other weirdo teenager friends I am SO jealous. They’re so beautiful and smart and so goddamn ~cool~. I’m 30 and I have never been that cool and I will never be that cool. Sigh.

Oh! I do have a story. But it does paint me and some of my friends in a bad light. All the same, here it goes.

This paragraph just gets more pathetic as the ages increase.

I don’t really understand all the excessive hate for Buzzfeed on here lately. It’s not like they offered $10k to buy untouched Vogue photos of Lena Dunham or as if they took cheap shots at Amy Pascal’s private online purchases. Don’t worry, Jez, no one is muscling in on you.

This had already made my day, but then I noticed that it’s filed to “go fuck yourselves”...I bow down to your lack of fucks.

Well, you seem like a real great human being with a strong grasp of physics and childcare!

I KNOW DOGS ARE NOT BABIES
