Jezebel. Reporting the important stories while the results of the biggest elections in the world were declared yesterday. I mean, I get this is a 'celebrity. fashion. gossip' site but these were the results of the BIGGEST democratic exercise in the world and not a peep about it on this website. The Europe/US-centrism…

I love that Cate and Djimon look like they're torn between making sure America's okay and wanting to go kick the perv's ass for her.

Friend posts this article on FB and asks "what would you do". I said stomp down with a high heel, aiming for juicy eyeball or squishy, not well protected nose. Three men (none of them friends with me) called me a bitch/cunt for overreacting to a publicity stunt/joke and then took turns dissecting my moral character.…

I would imagine keeping your relationship, and essentially who you are, a secret is a HUGE emotional burden. Like the writer said we dont know their situation so we can't just say "STOP LIVING A LIE" but I think if this girl were to have a therapist and a safe space to work through those issues it would go a long way.…

Some of the guy in the third story's discomfort could be that he is unaccustomed to being the hunted and not the hunter. It can be pretty scary when your milkshake brings like thirty boys to the yard at once and they all want you to teach them.

"White respondents were nearly twice as likely to feel that the government pays too much attention to the problems of racial minority groups. And nearly half of all white respondents said they felt discrimination against white people was as big a problem as discrimination against people of color."

Some of that may stem from evolving conceptions of what makes one a racist.

When I was a youngster (in the early '80's) I also thought we were post-racial. It had a lot more to do with my sheltered upbringing than the real life experience I've had since.

There is a strong trans* element in TwoX, it's just named that as shorthand so people know it's for ladies. Every Image Fest Friday lots of lovely trans* ladies post pics of their transitions and there is a lot of open chat about trans* issues. I remember one particularly heartwarming day when a trans* woman posted…

As a member of that subreddit, yeah, the name is a little TERFy. The atmosphere and the members there are not TERFy at all though. Pretty much everyone is welcome there.

For me, it's been a great site to read about and discuss topics I don't get elsewhere. I subscribe to a sub-reddit called "AskHistorians" where I often read about interesting or odd historical topics that I doubt I'd see anywhere else.

I'm a regular Reddit user too, and like you said, it's what you make of it. It doesn't take long to figure out which subs to stay away from. It's a great news aggregator and place to find breaking stories; in fact, I've discovered that by the time an item hits the general public via television or online, it's old news…

It's a great place for Jezebel to get 90% of their content.

"An-Grey" is a whole 'nother thing, though.

But female biology does not always = XX chromosomes.

Why not? Some women don't have XX chromosomes.

Oh, thanks! I never would have realized that.

I wrote both an undergrad and grad thesis on the topic of "eternal girlhood" in L.M. Montgomery, and spent several years of my life immersed in her 22 novels and her ginormous and fascinating personal journal...

In my reading of her life and work, the "Other" that Montgomery/Anne yearns for is not homosexual love, but…

Anne was one of my first "friends." I was friendless until high school, so as an outspoken, gender variant child, I latched onto Anne as a person who was, as Anne would say, truly a "kindred spirit." My own love affair, of sorts, with Anne has never really dimmed.
