There are many who embrace and prefer that phrase. Others don’t. GLAAD’s media reference guide still recommends “sex reassignment surgery” or “SRS.” (Though they also stress “Journalists should avoid overemphasizing the role of surgeries in the transition process.”)

Until and unless Bruce Jenner personally confirms this information publicly, reporting on an alleged sex reassignment surgery (which is the preferred phrase, since you can’t surgical impact someone’s gender) is tantamount to genital speculation and not helpful to the transgender community or anyone else.

You and me both!

IT’S REAL AND IT’S AWESOME AND IT’S THE REASON THAT I BOUGHT A WATERPROOF MATTRESS COVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice! I’m more of an embryo sushi kind of girl myself.

I’m going to go out and buy LUX (in the thrifty big box) today! I’ll be damned if a lack of daintiness and my soiled under breeches are going to spell the end of a fine romance for me. Again.

Except — and really I’m not proud of knowing this — Amber Tamblyn writes for Preserve on ocassion.

Yesyesyes. Everything she said was perfect, except the words “Tracy Anderson.” It took me right out of the right-on vibe.

And I do my part by not squirty-pooping in the gym!

Just read that profile on Sr. Fuuuuuuuck. I can’t even deal with it. I couldn’t read it all the way through — every paragraph upset me more. That writer .... seriously can’t deal with it.

I know this. I live this.

This is fantastic, Anna. I’d also like to take a moment to praise that AMAZING story art. It’s everything.

I swear it's there. Follow my thinking, if you will...

RIGHT?!

Netflix vs Free porn?! Sex vs Makeup?! GUYS, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO HERE.

You just wrap them around and around the same way you would any hair elastic. They work better than any other kind for me, and I have crazy thin/fine hair. No slipping; no ripping hair out. Between the ones I've bought and the ones I've made, I've got them scattered throughout my whole house now. Mildly obsessed.

Is that what we're calling it now, Ryan — "smashing the patriarchy"? OK. Let's do this. Let's :eyebrow waggle: smash the patriarchy.
