Being female is not a matter of identity. I’m female - I create eggs, I gestate babies, and I am treated as an inferior person. How I identify will not change that.

Sex is immutable.

Gender / gender roles are changeable.

The push-back on this case that the author either does not understand or chooses to ignore is that…

As a person far removed from the legal arguments, I think it’s going to require some kind of test of who constitutes a “trans” person. Unless the argument is (and fine if it is), if you identify as a trans woman, you are a trans woman, even if you started identifying as a trans woman right then and there. NC fell…

You are not missing out. I’ve seen most of his films(which I regret) but after the Hateful 8, I’m done. It was one of the worst movies I’ve ever watched. Not because of his cinematic vision but because of his content.  Even when making a film with a female protagonist, he finds a way to objectify and demean her.…

I used to really like his films also. I bought the 20th anniversary box set of all of his movies on Blu-ray.  But something clicked in the theater while watching Hateful Eight that I felt like I had enough of his whole thing.

Sizing at Mango and Zara is a joke. I’m a UK size 12 (US 10) and I sometimes wear their largest size...

Hardcore eye rolling over here. No, you should not cast a white person in the role of a black person. No, you should not cast a Caucasian in the role of an Asian character. But this whole “you can only play a trans character if you are a trans actor” bullshit is getting real tired. How many trans actors are there? And…

Oh look at that, she drops out, and guess what movie isn’t getting made now? Its almost like the movie business is a business, and when your A-list actor drops out, no one wants to make a movie staring some unknown transgendered person playing a transgendered person.  Big win for you guys!

Did no one take a history class? It’s a thing that happened, not a nebulous concept.

My husband and I purchased a home that previously belonged to a hoarder- all contents of the home were included in the sale. The house was an incredible deal, but the catch was that we had to empty out everything and then clean the home before we could move in.

I ended up writing “FABRIC ONLY” with a sharpie marker on the outer portions of the metal blades on mine.

THE MISUSE OF FABRIC SCISSORS IS A DIVORCEABLE CONFLICT!!!!

I’m not a sewer of any stripe, but I caught my husband CLEANING WEED with my steeking scissors. I got a new pair and some fancy yarn in recompense.

I know this only because I crocheted for awhile and it did not take long before I discovered a deep rivalry between knitters and crocheters, the likes of which frighten the blackest soul.

I have no less than 10 (maybe 15 at this point) pairs of scissors and will still dig through them to get my paper scissors. (I’ve got teaching, travel, paper, cloth, pinking, and random scissors.) This count does not include my rotary cutters, which is prob another 4 or 5 blades. I will beat anyone who tries to use my…

No, that sounds not just normal but important and logical. Care to share the details?

My ex-father-in-law once used my ex-mother-in-laws fabric scissors to clean a butcher a duck he had killed and I literally have never seen someone so mad. I legitimately thought she might stab him.

As a quilter-adjacent personage, I have been sternly advised if the fabric scissors were ever used to cut something they were not designed to cut, I would have to pay to have them professionally resharpened. Seeing how much that cost made me exclaim, “But what it’s just a pair of scissors.”

You’re one of those people who walks up to a person with a fabric hoop in their hand, and asks what they’re knitting, aren’t you?

Haha I hope he appreciates that you managed to save your relationship, because I think you’d have to break up with someone who used your fabric scissors.

That’s like making a hockey pun for an article about tennis.
