Because I couldn’t not... This is 18 and 19 year old TER walking the runway with Thierry Mugler! Back in the 90's when models were allowed to be quirky people on the runway. (And now I need to watch George Michael music videos..)

Yeah, it didn’t bug me at all either, it made me uncomfortable (as it should!), but it didn’t bug me. I knew it wasn’t (mostly) about me specifically. Though even doing my best I can be complicit. Just made me want to try harder.

Get it, girl!

Right? No, Veronica, no! Flip him off!

Oh, they’re already getting there. Someone who is Black *and* trans and willing to tell it without sugar-coating it? There will be a veritable avalanche (extremely appropriate wording) of white cis tears to tell us all how hurtful and bad she is, and how they just want to help but also how can they if people might…

I think she is ultimately better off now, because more people know who she is and she can express her thoughts on this to a broader audience. I am not sure I could name another L’oreal spokesperson or anything they’ve said or advocated for. Funny how it works sometimes.

This is a weird way to ask for the attention that you clearly crave.

Thank you! Thank you, sir. Your disinterest in being butthurt about this has really helped me out today. I didn’t sleep well, you see, and so having to deal with butthurt cis folks would have really taken it out of me. But you, good hero! You are resolute! You are a champion! You’re really the best of us. May your…

Not giving a shit...and taking the time to write a comment, lol.

Yeah because black and trans people must remember that when fighting their oppression that they must be kind and gentle to their oppressors.

Just look at all these offended white people, outraged and disgusted by this truth dropped by a person who has the nerve to be not only Black, but trans.

Sometimes speaking your mind has consequences.

That’s because you were raised right

A friend of mine is married to a guy from an Italian family. Neither of them has ever wanted kids but his mother constantly pesters them about it. Then his sister died and they took custody of her son/his nephew and the pestering has got worse - his mother has been turning up with brochures for Italian and Polish…

Seriously? Really? Yeah all the child-free women have absolutely no family or friends or meaningful careers. They were probably just waiting to drop dead so their 50 cats could feast on them anyway.

3 kids seems like a lot to me, but I sometimes feel put upon by having to get up early to feed my whining cat, so what do I know.

And that’s a fair point. If i haven’t made it clear I do not support or advocate murdering anyone trans or otherwise, even in the “Lil duval scenario” I can personally say I have used the word murder or kill as a substitute for “be angry” many times in my life. I don’t want to use that sentiment however to downplay or…

How a man without a fragile ego responds to finding out that he’s in bed with a trans woman: “Sorry, but that’s really not my scene. You’re nice, but I don’t think I’ll be able to get past the physical incompatibility. I know it’s kind of shallow, but it’s how I feel and I hope we can stay friends.”

It’s almost like amber rose’s version of feminism is all about empowering amber rose. it seems like an exploitable side-effect when her brand empowers other women.

Ugh. There aren’t enough Maxine Waters’ eyeroll gifs to describe how I feel about Amber Rose’s awful “choice” feminism and her colorism-addled comments. Like, we get it. She’s internalized white supremacist bullshit beliefs about beauty, and she thinks only light-skin women are traditionally attractive. Can she just…
