I’m up with you until Clinton and Sanders. In my mind, flip the two:

There really is such an unfortunate disconnect, between career/life realitites and the chronological/biology realities.

Yet, like with anything else, people scramble and try to negotiate the best balance between the two that works for them as an *individual*.

“getting” egg-shelly? When it comes to comedy, Jez is all egg-shells thin skin and no sense of humour, all the time.

If David Bowie was born today “parents” and “therapists” would have declared him a girl because he liked dresses and makeup and pink. The same thing would have happened to Freddie Mercury. We have far more regressive attitudes now than we did in the 70's.

And what’s the alternative? “Stop playing with Barbie! You’re bad!”

Gender is not a real thing.

Thank you. Slightly disturbed that the original writer equates preferring “girl” toys and dresses with being a girl. That’s not what makes a girl a girl, just as tonka trucks and overalls don’t make a boy a boy. Plenty of boys love dresses and barbies, plenty of girls love cars and mud. I’m hoping that if her child…

Exactly.

She’s transgender at FOUR YEARS OLD and you knew and changed pronouns at THREE? That sounds more like a lifestyle choice YOU are making for the child rather than letting her grow up and discover herself.

You let your 3 year old switch gender? Or maybe better put, express preferred gender outwardly?

Is this a joke? A 4 year old? How the heck can a 4 year old decide that she’s “transgender”?

He’s always been the really sensitive one out of all of them and I think his breakup plus what I can only imagine is a HELLISH life having to fake your daily drama for a tv show put it’s toll on him. They probably don’t take kindly to his perceived ‘weakness’ or maybe they see his unwillingness to participate in their…

Exactly how much more are you thinking she should accomplish?

Because it’s not about being skinny. It’s about feeling good about yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. Eating better and moving your body contribute to taking care of yourself, no matter what your age. I don’t expect to ever be “skinny” as you say, but I do want to be healthier and feel stronger. There’s…

Maybe she legitimately prefers to not be heavier? Can’t we respect that this person of all people knows what she wants and is making the best choice for herself?

I understand that programs like weight watchers do not work for all of their participants, and many are fraudulent. I understand that Oprah’s weight has fluctuated over the past thirty years. I do not understand “you’re fat, you will always be fat, and stop trying to lose weight” sentiment in these comments.

Yeah. It is awful to agree with David Spade, but I do. First lady on Ellen? Sure. President on GQ and Bear Grylls? No no no. Just be the president. Leave SNL appearances to candidates, man. Don’t do it.

Dunno. I voted for Obama and sometimes I wonder wtf he's doing so many snl tv show type of appearances.

You are not stuck in a job that has high public visibility, even if you fell into it accidentally.
