Are there really no comments on this yet (or am I being Kinja’d)? Talk about proving her point.

That kid is awesome! You can tell him an internet stranger said so.
The irony of the whole situation is that it isn’t just dangerous for LGBT people. It’s dangerous for EVERYONE! Though the hate and bigotry is directed at LGBT folks and they are at a much higher risk. It’s like these people don’t think at all. I was just reading about a school district in Florida who want to start…
The hand-wringing won’t be about a trans person being assaulted - that’s baked into the cake.
Yep. The world needs a collective lesson on gender identity and gender presentation.
Seriously, were this any other circumstance, they would be telling women to cover up more in the restroom because it’s in men’s nature to roam the earth sniffing out vaginas like malnourished hyenas.
Why in the world do they suddenly care about women being assaulted. No one seemed to care when it was a drunk guy trying to grope me in the middle of the street or on the subway or at a concert.
OH WAIT, ITS not about that is it
Story of my life as a lifelong butch.
How long before someone who isn’t stable decides to be the Bathroom Monitor with a semi automatic and someone gets shot. Because this is exactly where this is headed.
The world would be a better place in general if this is how all people fought on social media
Cheers. I can’t remember where I read it first articulated, but allies have to realize that sometimes people disproportionately react when they ignorantly and/or innocently get something wrong because of the constant bigotry we get elsewhere; allies are a slightly easier target for our frustration. Allies need to not…
Good for him. It sucks because it’s like “Thanks cis white guy for drawing attention to inclusive feminism” but I love that he knows that and thinks its BS that he’s getting all the pats on the back for it when women from all walks of life have been saying this for awhile now and just getting crickets. So he’s dammed…
I do absolutely get the “it’s easier for a man to be a feminist” thing. Every now and then a troll will presume I’m a woman and I’ll get a fraction of the gendered harassment that women on this site get, and it’s such a heartbreakingly personal reminder of how I, as an ally, can't truly understand the psychic toll of…
I kinda realized the same thing about ‘being an ally.’ Because I’m trying to see past and around my lens and privilege (white/mexi, straight, cis-male), I’m going to rub people the wrong way, including those with whose plight I’m trying to empathize. And the only thing I can do when that happens is to be open to the…
On the one hand it’s great that she basically told them to sit the fuck down. On the other hand it’s sad to witness. Maybe if she used that kind of parenting to her kids while they were growing up. America would never have known about her kids.
I understood what she meant because these photos were blowing up my facebook timeline a few months ago but I generally don’t understand Cher-speak, which is weird because I’m gay and I should intrinsically get her.
You know what the worst part is? As someone pointed out the last time this picture came up, his knife is totally clean. Which means he wasn’t the one who cut off the elephant’s tail.
