There already are several trans women on that show. True, the lead isn’t, which sucks, but it’s not nice to forget about Alexandra Billings, Hari Nef and Trace Lysette.

I think this might be because the White American experience is something people are actually used to. After decades of importing White American pop culture it is something people actually relate to. It’s something many of us grew up with.

Racism might be part of the issue but the real reason (at least in Germany) is that we Germans just have a horrible taste in TV-shows. People here love Two and a Half Men, How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory. Those are basically the most popular shows on TV. I mean, seriously?

I’m German and I like this idea (although I don’t like how the discussion about sexual harrasment only started when it was useful for racists). I don’t like being close to men I don’t know and had a few uncomfortable experiences with men in public transportation. When I lived in Japan I used to take women-only train

Are you a German woman? Because I am and this wasn’t shocking to me as me and pretty much all the women I know are used to sexual harrasment. There’s still a lot to do.

I live in a German city with lot’s and lot’s of people that are not ethnically German. I’ve had issues with guys from all kinds of background. I’d say it’s pretty proportonial.

White Germans. I’m not denying that some of the guys had a different background, probably Turkish, Eastern European, white Americans, can’t always tell, but the majority were white Germans.

I’m a German woman and I have had issues with all different kinds of men (including Americans), not just Muslims. It’s neither religion nor ethnicity. The only thing they had in common was being male.

I think Kim Kardashian would be a better president than Trump though.

I actually like it. Do I have to leave Jezebel now?

Morocco and Monaco are not the same thing.

25, still have issues with acne. The only thing that helps me is a combination of things. I take the pill (no breaks), a gel from my dermatologist (adapalene and antibiotics), take a zinc supplement, moisturize a lot (I avoid mineral oil and silicones on my face as they tend to make me break out) and try to eat really

Please tell us!!

I decided I like her as a person but not as a politician. (Although I’m glad she spoke out for refugees)

Yes, being raped by a stranger is not as likely as being raped by someone you know, but I think this device can be useful for other situations thay involve strangers as well. Say, a man follows you but doesn’t do much else. You can’t just pepperspray him but it’s still really uncomfortable. Has happened to me before

Oh, yes that sounds good!

Intersexual and what? What’s the second I for? I thought it was LGBTIQAQ

I live right next to an American embassy. Friday night there was firework somewhere and then sirens after. Wasn’t a good feeling.

That’s not even what all OCD is like. I never really had cleaning compulsion. I had bigger issues with obsessive/intrusive thoughts. Like being sure I would die everyday. Sometimes I was too scared to leave the house. I almost didn’t finish school because of that.

I am, thanks! Lot’s of therapy.
