Right? Garbage person says shitty things — big shocker...

If it had happened to me, I would say absolutely, yes. I would be pretty unhappy with being misgendered or having my birth name splattered all over the news (notice, I didn't do that in my own report).

I consider these phrases to not be remotely cutesy but to represent the level of disgust I had reading and writing about this.

You never not get flak when you write for a publication like this. It comes with the job. I knew what I signed on for when I agreed to do this.

EXACTLY. Murder against women, when there is a deep sense of entitlement to women, to women's bodies, to react violently to women, that is a hate crime. As far as I am concerned, even if not legally recognised.

I want to, but his phrasing was incredibly tone deaf. Especially "because it was a male living as a female" is particularly painful to transgender ears. I imagine "it" here was a pronoun used for murder and not for Yazmin, but still. I cringed at that line something fierce. There is also no recognition that most…

I'm the developer. It's good to be on Kotaku once more. Last year's article and comments had a huge impact on my design.

I think it can work if you have a high sense of self worth, are very confident and are completely comfortable in cutting things off when they aren't working. That's a lot of "if"s for most people. I figure as long as you're not judging other people for not being able to do what you did then that's fine.

This. I spent my 20s sexually exploring myself and others.....a lot. I never felt like a slut, was never made to feel like one, and never caught anything from it since condoms were a great accessory for a night out. Now that I'm older my life has changed & I don't really do casual anymore. But I sure as hell don't…

I was a very "unrestricted" young adult and feel lucky I got to have as much sex as wanted. When I wanted something different, I made different choices. I like to think there are lots of people like me out there somewhere so it was great to read your post!

Earlier in life had a lot of casual sex. A lot. Nearing the 100 mark. It never made me feel bad and I got to teach a few people as well as learn a few things. Never caught an STD once because I was careful. It's not me anymore, I have no regrets I had some great times, but I guess I moved on.

Also, this is STILL BETTER than birth control and comprehensive sex education, social safety nets and publicly-funded mental health programs.

Remember, liberals, this is STILL BETTER than a gay couple raising a child. STILL BETTER!

Did you know that yawning is also a calming signal in dogs. What this adorable puppy is more than likely saying is "Human, chill out and put me down. Stop disturbing me I would like to sleep".

HOLY SHIT ANOTHER GENDER!? A WHOLE NOTHER GENDER..IN ASSASSIN CLOTHING?!

EA is like an abusive relationship.

Funny enough, I DO know a lot about game development, and I actually AM working on a game, and I actually AM hoping to pitch it to the Wii U for players to experience, and I actually AM doing that with a very small team.

Well, I'd argue

Perhaps you should change the plural to singular.
