I have a whole fucking package of stars that I got in the dollar section at Target. Go buy one for yourself, stick them all over your face, look at yourself in the mirror, and say, "You are worth ALL the stars!"

Oh my god, are you still talking?
The only time I can ever remember seeing it spelled 'Jamey' was when I used to watch Law & Order: Criminal Intent. The actor who played the captain was Jamey Sheridan.
Did you respond to the wrong person?
OMG I can do you one better! I have a male cousin named Jamie, and have known a few females named Jaime, plus one Jayme AND one Jaymee!
Plus adding that extra 'e' theoretically should completely change the pronunciation...or you could just call it freaking dumb, since the 'i' alone (not followed by anything) or 'ie' would both sound like 'ee'. It reads like 'Amyyy'.
Why do you think people named Amy don't know what their name means/where it comes from?
That's absurd. The Help was hugely popular. She was great in the role. Like it or not, it's what most people know her from (and I'd be willing to bet most people don't remember her from anything else). The nature of the role doesn't mean anything, any more than Sharon Stone's most memorable role having been in Basic…
Ooh, wanna trade names? I'd love to be a Catherine!
There's no such thing as 'misspelling' a name (unless someone tells you their name is spelled a certain way and you fail to follow that). Names and their spellings change over time. Names that used to be unheard of are now popular ('Ashley' was originally a surname, then a male first name, and is now one of the most…
I just think there are plenty of other platforms for that. For me personally, FB is the one form of social media where I'm the actual real-life me; it's on all the others where I'm varying degrees of anonymous.
We have donkeys in zoos here (in the US) too - usually in the petting zoo/children's section.
Uh, seeing gay sex on TV is actually really important to some people.
I don't really know any other bi people in 'real life', so I get to stay blissfully ignorant in that regard! WE ALL GET ALONG AND EVERYTHING IS FINE AND HAPPY AND BUNNIES FROLIC IN FIELDS ALL DAY LONG and the only biphobia that exists comes from non-bisexuals. Dammit.
Maybe I'm just normally so overwhelmed by other aspects of biphobia, but I had kind of forgotten that that whole...branch...existed. (Let me have my temporary ignorance, dammit!) So when I got into that thread, oh my GOD I couldn't believe what was happening.
I hope some of the more vile Supreme Court justices kick the bucket (I'm looking at you, Scalia) just in time for such a case to make it all the way to the top. Or at least some state courts, the way marriage equality has been going.
My worst fears have been confirmed: STOP SPELLING MY NAME IN WEIRD WAYS. I'm looking at you, funeral home woman, and all of you, parents of the 80s! You're the reason I have to spell my name out for people...gaaaah!
Well said.
I know this is a serious issue, but I can't get past the spelling, "Amiee". Ah-me-ay?
