You should try out for Shark Tank with those numbers.

I have a prescription for sex toys: I have what's known as Congenital Genital Syndrome (CGS). Instead of being born like a barbie doll and engaging in normal stork-based reproduction, I was born with genitals and have to reproduce in a way that makes Jesus have a sadfase =(

Not just any conservatives. Openly fascist ones. They don't wear the swastika, but some would argue they no longer need to.

There is a strong trans* element in TwoX, it's just named that as shorthand so people know it's for ladies. Every Image Fest Friday lots of lovely trans* ladies post pics of their transitions and there is a lot of open chat about trans* issues. I remember one particularly heartwarming day when a trans* woman posted…

As a member of that subreddit, yeah, the name is a little TERFy. The atmosphere and the members there are not TERFy at all though. Pretty much everyone is welcome there.

Why not? Some women don't have XX chromosomes.

Exactly. If a white guy identifies as a black man, the first thing he does is starts taking black people hormones and then...

I am so sick of having to explain to people that the Bechdel test is NOT a measure of whether or not a movie has strong female characters (see: everybody under the sun using Kill Bill as an example to "disprove" the test). The Bechdel test allows us to COMPARE the overwhelming blanket majority of movies wherein men…

None of this explains why named male characters who have conversations about things other than women so common in movies, while named female characters who have conversations about things other than men are so rare. Why do female characters have to be "forcefully shoehorned together" while male characters just have…

It's because most hollywood writers are fucking lazy. Lazy writing equals characters who are only plot devices. That goes for men and women, and when you have a larger ratio of male leads in our current culture due to the influx of the action genre, then you will get those lazy ass writers writing their lazy ass…

Again, you are fundamentally confused about what the test is and what it is measuring, and you are angry at the test for not doing things it was never intended to do.

It is an exceptionally low threshold for passing. What's interesting, I guess, is that how few films can pass it. I mean, if Meghan Fox had a ten-second conversation with Shart LeBeef's mom in Transformers 7, that would have passed.

If you've never ever had a conversation with a woman that wasn't about a man in your entire life, that would be incredibly impressive.

It's not "garbage." You're just confused about what the test is and what is measures.

Can we talk about Belle for a second? I saw it at a screening and I absolutely LOVED it. I was tearing up throughout. But I thought the production value wasn't what it should have been. The costumes were ill-fitting and looked like they came from a costume shop (which it looks like, when reading the credits, they…

No, I've totally heard "you're being intolerant by complaining about my racism" before.

If the man was Newt Gingrich, I would indeed be grossed out.

You know what I have heard no one talk about with respect to the crass shit people said about Michael Sam?

Yet you never hear the same argument about racists. I'm surprised Donald Sterling hasn't tried to use that defense yet. Homophobia is the new racism.
