Base level knowledge of Trans people = Academy Award for a Mediocre actor doing a transphobic, minstrel-like performance*. Gotta love the Academy.

Genetics. We get what we get. Blame our ancestors.

I agree with the idea that Gunn doesn't understand. I had a really large hip to waist ratio before I started T, and that is fading fast. Women's clothing doesn't really work as well if you lose those curves to testosterone. I've some very curvy lady friends that seem to embody the evidence that it goes the other way,…

Cis-women do not look like the cis-women that are presented in the fashion world. I sure as hell don't look like any of them.

I've spent the last three weeks trying to find men's dress, summer shoes in a size 6, extra wide. Tim Gunn can kiss my ass as well.

While men and women have different pelvis shapes, isn't the primary difference between classically male and female shapes actually about the distribution if fat, not bone? Women tend to accumulate fat in the hips and butts, men in their guts. I'm sure pelvic shape plays some role (probably more in gait than body…

His comments also imply that trans women will never have the body of a "real" woman. WTF, dude.

I'm honestly shocked to hear this from him. He's the last person I'd expect to be so obtuse, especially about a topic such as this. I really hope he has the grace to issue an apology and work to learn about why what he's said is so wrong.

Well, you make a good point.

Sorry but this is a load of bullshit, and the people who are defending this idiot are sticking their heads in the sand about trans issues. The fact is that most cis models are tall and thin with narrow hips, and pretending like it's a problem when all of sudden trans women with the same fucking body features enter the…

I've noticeable difference between waist and hips as well, it's my shoulders that visually minimise this though. Maybe, hmm.. Five inches?

This reminds me of a conversation I had with a former friend (though this is not we aren't friends anymore) where I told her about the picture book "My Princess Boy". Her immediate response was "That kid has to be gay, right?"

That is completely true, and we need an article to express that.

:( ugh, I'm so sorry. My sister met a guy online (I think on a gaming site) and just moved out to Idaho to be with him and my entire family is on pins and needles. My parents skyped with him before my sister moved out there, but they're still terrified that the guy is really just exercising a fetish and my sister is…

I think it's shitty to blame men for feeling this way, frankly. We have been largely raised from birth to believe that we should provide. Whether that is "true" or not is a different story, but this is a constant message. You know how we all shake our heads at the social messages about beauty for women? This is…
