Um, she didn't "conflate anything." The FBI got involved and told her it was likely a sex trafficking operation. But pretty white women, amirite?

At no point did I say he gets a pass. All I said was the other person was making a bad argument and attacking the wrong point, when there was plenty of better points to attack.

He often says that. Which is why I think this is contextless click-bait. I think he just assumed people know his very long history of crusading for body diversity, which he IS very famous for.

That's a different discussion, entirely, and one someone should have with him to better educate him on the topic. Not arguing there at all. BUT, the fashion industry is not using diverse trans models, either. Only the same old tall, thin, slim hipped model.

Your rage is also misplaced, however. Gunn has repeatedly called for more diverse shapes on the runway. He disapproves of using tall, skinny, white women, and has said so many times before. He was saying here that designers are using trans models, who specifically fit all the boxes of cis-female models, as a guise of…

Speaking as a passionate seamstress with a crush on Andrej Pejic, I don't find this comment as upsetting as many here do. To me he is speaking specifically to the fact that men, regardless of build, have more narrow pelvises. CIS-Women ALWAYS have outwardly-flared hipbones, and those born male don't. And designers are…

You know, I don't have a huge problem with an adult admitting that an issue is complicated and trying to think it out. Transgender issues and rights are relatively recent discussion points, so I don't fault people in not immediately jumping to the "correct" conclusion and worldview. I'm not saying we should give…

I think the title expresses it perfectly. He's conflicted. I can see him working through these issues in his head. He seems like a good guy, thinking hard about something that is a big part of his life. I think that's allowed.

This. I'm a little miffed at the selfie consternation.

"Ugh. We get it already, Albrecht."

I guess my friends and I were trendsetters when we were doing this in about 2008. There was definitely no empowering message behind it; it's just funny to make stupid faces. We posted them on Facebook because we knew that no one thought we actually looked like that. I'm pretty sure that the only people sharing ugly…

Correction: You get criticized if the media decides you deserve to be criticized. In other words, if you aren't willing to pay a publicist to schmooze editors and send them spa day gift certificates and crap. There are plenty of raging aholes and morons who aren't raked through the coals by media.

Honest question, on a scale of 1 to 10, how Woody Allen-ish is Blue Jasmine? Because I typically really don't like his movies, and not because of who he is. Like I just don't get why other people like them. Annie Hall, Midnight in Paris, Small Time Crooks- I didn't like any of them. But I really like Cate Blanchett,…

If you get the chance, you should definitely see it. It's very emotional and some parts are hard to watch but it's a beautiful film all the way through and a very important story.

Wouldn't you just LOVE to be at a party with them? If you're feeling somewhat laid-back, sedate, want to have a drink and talk about heady topics: hit up Portia. When you've had a few drinks and want to cut loose, dance, maybe play Pictionary while doing impressions of famous people: Ellen's a-waitin'.

I know! That statement really moved me....how often does that happen in Dirt Bag?!

Sweet fuck, I hope he does. The whole team at the Colbert Report is brilliant.

C'mon, you'll tune in anyway because he's great.

Did you see Janet Mock on The Colbert Report last night? It was awesome. Please, someone post the link!

I've had actual nightmares about my old LJ posts resurfacing...
