I think Taylor and Karlie have established a new upper limit for whiteness... their whole adventure has gotta be at least 8.8 gigahonkies.

I definitely watched it in history class in the 90s/early 2000s.

Oh $CHARACTERIZATION $PETNAME, I ache with longing for the merest glimpse of your $BODY_PART. Fly to me, my $INFANT_ANIMAL, and let us spend the entire $TIME_PERIOD celebrating our $KINK.

My sister just texted me "Hi darl, thinking of your face," so thanks for this. Thanks very very much.

I'm 45 so I remember Roots - but if you weren't old enough to watch grown folks shows on TV in 1978 it's ancient history

Seconded.

I know you're just trying to be skeptical, but you're talking to another skeptic and still coming off as extremely rude. I'm a fucking scientist, dude, so you don't have to tell me that this is less than scientific. The people who consult my grandma are also well aware of the cost of digging a well...since they're in…

Well I don’t care that much. I mean it’s not like it takes much effort to write an internet comment. I just saw what I interpreted as a misconception, so I responded. Sue me.

Uh... It's 2PM now. I was asleep for something like four or five hours after the story was mainpaged. I am responding now, but I was asleep when many of the comments were originally posted.

Texas, like a lot of other top ten most populous states in the US, is not quite as culturally homogenous as others would be led to believe from it's popular portrayal in the media. There is a lot of regional cultural differences in Texas, which I have traditionally thought of as revolving around the four largest…

Maybe there is a slight possibility Kat didn't want to assert an opinion on 12 years because she rather allow POCs the forum to speak, not because she doesn't care.

Yeah, that's the thing. I lived in a pretty rural town in high school and I have a friend who, had he grown up in a major city and around politically savvy people, would absolutely identify as trans. Instead he went with gay, despite it never quite feeling right (and although I didn't know the technical term, I always…

I recently checked out this photo archive of first-class meals from the 50's-90's. Pan Am First Class, holy crap. http://www.airlinemeals.net/browseOldies.p…

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I also have SOA selective amnesia, AKA "SOA related PTSD and emotional trauma."

I'm noticed that a lot of the people who are offended by Rayon are youngs. If there's whitewashing going on I'm not sure that it stems so much from an unwillingness to admit that people like Rayon are part of the community so much as an unwillingness to admit that people like Rayon are part of the history.

I find it a little hypocritical to call Rayon a collection of tropes rather than a real trans character, and then criticize the character for not reacting to being misgendered. This implies two things about trans people : that we all react to misgendering the same way, and that we all experience gender dysphoria in…

So throughout your article, the failure of not making her real and nuanced enough is Leto's, you're very clear on that, but when it comes to the less-fail aspects (humanizing the character beyond a stereotype in the script) that Elle W points out "he didn't do that alone." I feel like that's really inconsistent…

I came of age in the LGTB community of a redneck city during the late 80s and early 90s and I thought Leto's performance was absolutely convincing. He was messy and campy and superficial and damaged in all of the ways that many trans women are —and were—in the the real world outside of the vain wishes of identity…

As someone who has helped run a local LGBT clinic, I want to voice my opinion.
When I watched the movie, I felt that the movie was able to capture bits and pieces of the problems faced by different trans-gender men or women. Of course, we didn't live in their shoes and we can't judge how "accurately" it portrays the…
