Slate had a good article behind their reasoning: http://www.slate.com/blogs/wild_thi…

Serious problems with the show notwithstanding, it's actually not abnormal for people to be engaged in physical activity for 6 hours a day. As previous posts on this story have pointed out, mail carriers, food servers, industrial workers, etc. all do physical activity all day long. Sitting all day at a job is not…

"The public has a great interest in our personal lives," said Aniston at the Makers Conference yesterday. "[As women] our value and our worth is basically associated with our marital status or whether or not we have procreated." To which Steinem responded, "Well, I guess we're in deep shit!" - I have always liked…

I love that they interviewed men and women for this article.

His brothers have gracefully gone about their projects with nary a peep. I'm guessing it's because Joe is/was the hot one so he can't give up the attention so easily? It's pretty clear that the whole purity ring thing isn't marketable anymore so he's done away with that. Don't you know? He smoked pot once, he's a…

I have a close friend with a fistula bc of a chronic illness. I get that this is funny on the surface and I hate to be that downer but it's an awful thing to live with and I am sure this would help her a lot versus what she currently does to keep dry and clean.

I am offering $10,000 for unretouched photos of Margot Robbie's legs.

We traveled in the same circles and knew some of the same people and he saw me with my girlfriends wearing a big silly bride-to-be tiara and said, "Hey. Do I know you? What's your name?" and we just clicked. I got married 7 days later. But my poor first husband wasn't that into me—it was marriage o'clock for him and I…

I actually introduced my parents. My dad lived in the house across the alley from us and not being a fearful child I wandered into his backyard one day to play. Him and his roommate hung out with me for awhile, then he took me home and got to meet my mother. He legally adopted me shortly after they got married.

Does anyone else thing Damian looks a little bit like Mr. T in that photo of him and Lohan?

A few things: you don't really cite where you got that gays suffer the most anti-LGBTQ violence. The AVP's 2012 report (http://www.avp.org/resources/avp-…) stated that trans women account for 53.8% of all LGBT-related murders. Further, your assertion that violence against trans people isn't important because they're…

Yeah, I don't disagree. But I think the larger point the author was trying to make was that Hermione was exposed to new challenges (outside of academics) through these friendships, and that allowed her to grow into the proper heroine she became.

And that's how we just became best friends, just then.

Yeah, how is that so hard to get. They don't need to be subjected to genocide for it to matter. It matters when people are killed for EXISTING. Brandon Teena would be alive today if she hadn't been trans. People find out that someone is trans and they will kill them and do unspeakable things to them that they…

Are you kidding? I don't think trans-people need to be subjected to genocide before the issue of violence against them is addressed. The difference is that they are killed specifically BC of their identify...people like Brandon Teena for example. People who find out that someone is a transman or transwoman will…

Morgan's questions played into the narrative that trans* people are somehow hoodwinking with gender. And, yes, that narrative gets people killed. It is a tool used to make trans* people appear to be deceitful, disordered, and alien. It is the same dehumanization we have seen used against Jewish people,…

The idea that trans people are getting axe-murdered left and right is completely hyperbolic. In 2012 in the US, there were 25 "anti-LGBTQ" homicides. Most anti-LGBTQ violence is aimed at gay men; trans people represent single-digit percentages even amongst just LGBTQ victims.

She was born male. Boy/ Man is gender and therefore psychological, whereas Male/Female are sexes which are biological. It's a common mistake made by people. Also it doesn't help that until relatively recently medicine and science recognized sex and gender as synonymous.

Tranlation: "Political correctness", the movement that has made it less acceptable for white, straight men to say whatever the fuck they want to and about whoever the fuck they want, is a pain in the ass! The resulting social pressure that happens is just...too...uncomfortable...and isn't fair because people are…
