Wait, so whether someone is a boy or a girl is determined by their physical genitalia now, and not their mental self-identity or whatever they consider themselves to be at a given moment? Gawker, I’m shocked. How transphobic of you...

These absolutely homophobic replies you are getting is beyond disgusting. Telling lesbians that they should be open to penis is what passes for lgtb rights nowadays. Unbelievable. A lesbian is a homoSEXual. They are attracted to the female sex. They do not need to “examine their preferences”. They do not have to…

Just a little solidarity. This “feminist” site has turned itself over to where 1) there are no lesbian authors (Rich Juzwiak covers the lesbian beat), and 2) dare say anything in defense of what makes a lesbian tick, you’ll get flamed. Instead of maybe being alarmed with the trend, they attack you.

Gross. Revolting. The almighty penis always front & center, a banner of aggression, anger, discord and lack of compassion. I am a hetero woman of the plainest variety. I have no dog in this fight other than rejecting such attacks on lesbian individuals, regardless of their personal beliefs, with all my being. As long…

We’ve been seeing those “Punch a TERF” signs here too. However, most trans people I know are horrified by them.

This is definitely an important part of the conversation. This recent episode of the podcast Reply All did a great job of speaking with people on both sides of the issue and delivering an even-handed take on the creation of and opposition to the laws: https://www.gimletmedia.com/reply-all/119-no-more-safe-harbor

Thank you so much for the work you do! I am sending you the biggest hug! : ) I try to be calm and pretty reserved on Jezebel even though I find that a lot of what they write is very problematic because the understanding of complex issues that they cover seems to be very shallow and cursory. But on this issue, I have…

Thank you for writing this! I work with trafficking victims through a non-profit here in NYC. I am likewise appalled at Jezebel’s complete lack of support for the VAST majority of sex workers, who are, statistically speaking, poor women and teens of color who are coerced into sex by pimps and traffickers who control…

I posted this in response to another comment on this article- I live in the Netherlands where prostitution is legal. What has happened is very interesting in terms of the correlation between trafficking and consensual sex work. In terms of sex workers, legalisation and regulation has been a big success- access to…

I don’t believe that they even care about “consensual sex work” that much to be honest. It’s just a part of the current “progressive” identity to support “sex workers” (even though it’s never defined what is meant by that).

Agree 100%. The constant undermining of the reality of sex trafficking is extremely upsetting to me in all of Jezebel’s coverage of this issue. It is beyond bizarre to me that they cannot even discuss at all the actual issue that this law is meant to address and why so many people who care about online sex trafficking…

Jezebel is aimed at middle-class white American/Western women who believe that the only aim of feminism is to force their lazy/shitty husbands to do housework/childcare.

It was actually supported and led by anti-sex trafficking organisations and in the community the support is way more pro than con. Yes, some objected to (particularly earlier versions of) the law, but that is not the majority. I work in this field. Do you? Do you really know what you are talking about when you talk…

So um, you just make things up and try and put them in people’s mouths?

Jezebel’s repeated and total erasure of the voice of trafficking victims is disgraceful. The total ignorance displayed about the anti-sex trafficking organisations and survivors who supported and advocated for this legislation is embarrassing. The changes made in mark up are clearly beyond this site’s ability to…

“She gets tired of men sometimes.”

I would sincerely hope that the Huxtable children would be doing well enough to not be living with their parents in their 40s and 50s.

Just send in Gary Burghoff to announce her plane was shot down over the Sea Of Japan.

John Goodman marries Phylicia Rashad after both of their spouses die in explosions. The Conner and Huxtable families merge Brady Bunch style.
