Thanks for saying this. I have to realize that I am seriously old enough that well, younger adults have a completely different cultural experience of our community. I've never heard the word used as a pejorative, but more and more younger trans woman are saying, "I've never heard it used as anything but a violent…

Transsexual isn't an outdated term, and "tranny" at best, is slang for man in a dress (which may include cross dressers and drag queens)

There's a long history of this word, and a long recent battle disputing its history. Trannyshack just changed it's name due to pressure, despite it being an 18-year-old club named for an apartment in the Haight where many genderqueers lived and identified as Trannies. Kate Bornstein (and others, like me) recall it as…

Serious question: Does "tranny" mean different things to different people, especially transgender people and drag queens? I ask because there's a famous SF drag club called the Tranny Shack, and I thought that was named, tongue-in-cheek, after the outdated term "transsexual." Could that be part of the difference…

Frogurt. Why the hell would you eat something called frogert? I don't know what word it's clicking with in my mind, but the only thing I can think of some kind of cottage-cheese type festering wound.

The frogurt is also cursed.

My mom used to tell me that if I was a boy, she would have named me "Michael Jackson." But I also think my mom likes to fuck with me sometimes, so I don't know.

I had a nose job a few years ago. I had a bump removed. It always bothered me. I saved up the money. Do not regret. I tell most people about it too, and it seems to normalize plastic surgery a bit for them. Like oh, really? Hmmm... Ok. Moving on.

I know 2 guys like this. One's in his 30's, and one's in his 50's. The one in his 30's has an actual LIST the a girl must meet all criteria on before he'll even consider asking her out (between 5'3" and 5'6", brunette, long hair, built like Barbie, college grad or better, etc.) Have I mentioned that they are both…

But I think you also have to take those words in context with the rest of the article. "My mom comes with me to the gym three or four days a week for an hour..." and "We average about 2.5 miles a day and use a fitness app to track our steps." You know who else went to the gym 4-5 days a week, for 45 minutes - 1 hour…

Lot of Love and Hip Hop today, Jezebel. Not that I mind!

Holy crap wut? I ALSO am a Lincolnite now living in Chicago. I wonder how many of us there are around...

Also left The Good Life for Chicago, and I agree with your sentiments!

It's referencing this. Gooooooooo Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggg Reeeeeeeeeddddd! GBR!

My FB feed was blowing up about this on Saturday (I'm a Nebraskan living in Chicago). It's especially nice because he's known for being really dour and blunt almost to the point of rudeness. So it was good to see him having a little fun.

That clarification is great and also an example of how colossally idiotic Kinja is (how can the most active thread not be the highlighted one? HOW). I just wanted to point out that Slay isn't a mod for jezebel — there is no such thing anymore. She is boss of GT and PR, but has no sway here as far as I know.

jealous!

Do you think she's the next Marina Abramovic?
