I’m not the one confusing “safety” and “comfort.” Trans women are not a threat to women’s safety. You might find a trans woman’s body triggering, but that is not her problem, it is yours. And excluding them from women’s prisons and safe spaces because they make you uncomfortable or trigger you is to punish them and…

But here’s the thing: a trans woman’s body is not a “male body.” Even if she has a penis, even if she hasn’t transitioned, even if she doesn’t shave her fucking face and rocks a burly ass beard, she is a woman, and her body is a woman’s body. Your “bio male body” bullshit is completely transphobic and we cannot…
“I, a natural-born woman with a completely normal level of empathy and no internalized misogyny, am perfectly comfortable with putting another woman in harms way, in a fucking mens prison where she will be humiliated and degraded every day and *actually* suffer injuries when she is forced to use the bathroom and…
They also clearly haven’t read the books. Geralt is constantly discriminated against, the humans are are all nationalists who hate each other, but hate the dwarves and elves more, and the dwarves and elves are divided between the Scoia’tael guerrillas and the ones who think that their race war will only hasten their…
The worst thing about that Walking Dead storyline for me was the INSANE levels of guilt she gets from everyone she speaks to. Maggie throws the pills at her while yelling, Glenn is only half-heartedly supportive, and boy oh boy does Rick lay it on thick. “How could you make this decision without me?!” etc.
Lori goes…
This is going to sound really stupid but I’m being genuine here: Don’t let a toxic fandom prevent you from being a fan.
I was really pissed off at Tyler Perry’s movie
The same sort of person that is super-butthurt that a diverse staff is working on The Witcher show evinces no concern whatsoever over (or, worse yet, handwaves the idea of) whitewashing in films that come from non-Anglo-European cultures.
Here’s the thing about fiction: it’s fucking fiction. It is entirely possible for…
The morning after pill cannot cause an abortion.
Seriously, white men have been writing for female and non-white characters for decades and they could care less. When non-white writers and female writers have an opportunity the concerns come rolling in about how they can’t properly capture the characters or even worse *gasp* create non-white male characters.
Where in the sweet fuck are these people when it comes to adapting media that isn’t European or even Western, or writing media about places that don’t fit that umbrella?
Allen Whitt is such an asshole. He rolled into my town to try to whip this shit up when our city council was considering a nondiscrimination ordinance. He showed up in the neighboring town when the council wanted to change their NDO language to include LGBT people. In both cases, he made these seemingly benign…
Hey now he somehow gets Presidential term limits removed (it would require a Constitutional Amendment) and he’ll be begging for a coup de grace from Honest Bob after the absolute beat down Barack lays on his ass.
Emergency Contraceptives are not the Abortion Pill! Emergency Contraceptives are literally a giant dose of birth control pills. But what can you expect from a society where many of the people which are capable of making and passing laws believe that a woman can “just shut it off” after they are raped?
Y’all, he’s not fucking joking...
Every empire falls eventually. But is anyone else just kind of...struck by the fact that America just chose a ridiculously embarrassing way to go out? We’ve spent so much time bragging to everyone that we’re the greatest, most advanced country the world has ever seen and we’re going to be destroyed by a guy who sold…
At this point, I feel like it should be reduced to one term only. I hate this man-baby with every fiber of my being. I need to stop reading articles on him to save myself from daily rage strokes.
I live in a small town in West Virginia that is about a 5 hour drive from Parkersburg in the Eastern Panhandle. We have successfully past many non-discrimination ordinances here in Shepherdstown and welcome trans community members. I want to invite Jocelyn to move here and apply for jobs in our lovely town. Now that…
That line from Whitt about not having any economic means through which the city can be forced into equality is such a weird exercise in shooting oneself in the foot. Sure, you’re not being leveraged into making this change now, but your children are leaving. Generally speaking, educated and talented folks don’t want…
