I usually try gauge appropriateness of breastfeeding by the ice cream test. (Which I made up)

I don't get the Courts response. Having been in a lot of courthouses, in all sort of roles, assuming the court officer actually showed her a safe, clean, nearby location I can kind of sympathize with the on-scene bailiff/Court Officer. Pretty much their entire day is getting yelled at and mistreated by everyone who…

I used the skinny hinge-pieces to give all my minifigs ponytails. So they'd be girls. Changing the hair was enough of a marker to make me happy.

Here seems as good a place as any to pull out this heartwarming example of the spirit LEGO should be asked to embody in its toy lines:

But you know who has? Me. Because I am a trans person, and I get to speak to the cisgender media about representations of trans narratives and, if they give a shit about recognising the privileged intersections they operate under, they'll listen. Listen to me and other trans folks.

"Trans woman" generally refers to someone who was born with male physical characteristics, but identifies as female. "Trans man" generally refers to someone who was born with female physical characteristics, but identifies as male.

B-b-but if you don't like how men treat you can just ignore them or take your rightful responsibility for personally educating them about why they didn't quite get you to sleep with them this time!

I think I can explain.

There have already been all those comments.

There's the article.

False!

I'm on this new photosynthetic diet and it's working great! I've never felt better. I'm staying slim, feeling alive, and my leaves have never looked greener!

I love the "half the women in grad schools are women so things are fine" argument. I don't know the situation in the medical profession, but if you look at the legal profession, once you actually get out of school and into the profession, your chances are much grimmer if you have a vagina. At many big law firms,…

As a gay man, I've routinely spoken out about sexism within our community. Some of what Rohin writes is spot on; diva worship, unsolicited groping, and the "fear" (read: hatred) of vaginas are all problematic and should rightly be critiqued. However, I can't help but to feel, as another commenter put it, there's a lot…

Yes, that's why I wrote it in the article that you are commenting on:

The CEO of a company that I used to work for is a trans man. The only reason that I know that he is a transgendered person is that I went to college with him and knew him before he transitioned. He presents as a man. He IS a man. Had my co-workers (his employees) been privy to the fact that he is a trans man, I'm sure…

Most of the last decade. It's a term which has not been used by any gender and sexuality group of which I have been part. The distinction between cis, straight cross dressers and queer drag queens is an important distinction to make. Transvestite doesn't make this distinction, and was therefore something considered…
