Oh ok, thanks for telling me how it works.

I agree with you. Someone who was born in a male gendered body that is contradictory to how they understand themselves has a different experience than someone who is born with a body gendered in a way that mirrors how they perceive themselves. I'm not sure that trying to flatten that into a normative label is…

I am not necessarily comfortable with this. I fully support a person's wishes to live as they identify and as they feel comfortable, but I don't think you can support away the fact of someone being transgendered; that is also part of their identity. It seems like pretending that those 30 years of being male didn't…

First of all, I think Victoria Beckham is rad. She's super funny and charming and, I think, absolutely lovely.

I'm confused. Is this noteworthy because the article fawns over VBeckham's diet? Or are we supposed to feel angry that she eats a lean diet? Or spends above average time with a personal trainer?
I like her, she eats food, and works out. What's weird about this?

Omg these people are always bitching about how Victoria Beckham doesn't eat. SHE'S HAD FOUR KIDS. AND THEY ARE ALL ALIVE AND HEALTHY. Obviously she eats; she gets periods and has children. Ugh. People.

I hope she chose the name for this song and not for Chelsea Handler.

You make good points. Personally, I don't believe that transgender people choose that any more than gays choose to be gay. It doesn't make scientific or logical sense. However, the prison system can ill afford to be so accepting. Is Manning going to go crazy on the population at a female prison? No, probably not. That…

I understand where the prison system is coming from here. Until Manning has the surgery, we're basically just taking the inmate's word for it about the transgender issue. It would set the prison up for enormous liability to admit someone who is biologically male into a women's facility. If, by chance, Manning were…

Lifelong skinny woman here.

Her family sounds like a bunch of a-holes in spite of her child's looks, all skinfolk ain't your kinfolk..I would have ditched my family for something like that.

Ha! My mother has the same "marriage of convenience" theory. My cynical black heart wonders if all of their affection and lovey-dovey behavior is just working too hard to sell the act. But honestly, even if it is all a lie, I'd STILL take her life (and her house!).

The thing is, as easy as it is to make fun of Courtney Stodden (and I'm tempted too at times) she's a kid. She's a kid who looks older and dresses older and "acts" older than she is, but she's a kid who is married to a much older, gross man that her parents basically gave her to. And when I actually think about it, it…

Extras was the best!

YES, THIS. And Dodai should realize that things have changed a lot in the past few years—the "experience" that internships give you doesn't count for shit. Hiring companies almost universally now require 3-5 years' experience doing paid work as an employee in the field.

i bet monica was performing at a sold out show across town, but the writer was (is) staunchly team brandy and just couldn't give monica that kind of win.

That is why I said if. I do find that most of the Jez authors are pretty wealthy compared to us plebes. And I did read that too. I understand that you had paid internships, and as far as I know, you are incredibly lucky to have been able to land something like that.

My point is, however, that your post is apologia for…

did the boy show up, and more importantly, did he belong to her?

I can't believe this article missed one of the most important points of unpaid internships... which is that only people who can afford to be unemployed for however long take unpaid internships, and if unpaid internships are necessary experience in order to land a "good" job then those who can't afford to take unpaid…

For the most part, unpaid internships are a joke. Unless it is especially relevant to your future determined career and will result in a guaranteed job down the line, there is zero reason one should get an unpaid internship vs. minimum wage job. Short of, y'know, not being able to find a job (more on that in a bit).
