My mom is around Hillary’s age, and she has lots of questions around stuff like gender identity and pronouns. She has a really hard time with “they/them/theirs” pronouns, for example, but if I yell at her and shout her down, she would just get defensive and she’d never learn. So I try to talk to her using specific…

Bingo.  Its an odd tendency for many to try to box out allies on these issues and more.

Agreed! This is another part of why I’m not gonna jump on the Hate Hillary train, because I’m certain Chelsea will not let her go too far down any shitty path like this.

Also, the “not wanting penis” thing is just the latest bad-faith argument like the “cotton ceiling” thing. It’s referencing a very specific discussion, out of context, to paint trans people as rapey.

This seems more an issue with the interviewer than Hillary. I do like that Chelsea wasn’t going to play the interviewers game and was direct.

This is classic TERF/transphobe tactics: find the most extreme possible example, get someone who is casually ok with trans folks to go along with it, and then try to portray them as agreeing with you. Hillary Clinton has actually worked to measurably improve trans lies, I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt…

I agree. I think it's a lot better to say "I'm still learning" than to just spout off at the mouth.

I don’t see what the issue is here. This is a new subject for many people, something they’ve never been exposed to before or thought much about. And frankly, it is an uncomfortable topic for many, especially older folks. I say it’s a good thing for those who are confused or don’t feel fully confident in their ideas…

I feel like a whole-ass college campus that’s 75% white feeling bullied by one (1) woman of color is a perfect representation of the fragility at play here.

Bigotry with a hug is still bigotry.

Don’t harsh our squee, burner.

You are so cool and above it all.

God I’m so excited!! This is my superbowl.

I was too late with my submission last year, so here goes...

I’m doxxing myself because my friends all know this story. I waited until daytime to write it because it scares me so much.

Hollywood has gone full-0n whore to the Chinese market in recent years, and they are reaping the financial bounty that comes from 1.4 billion consumers.

Just saying “it’s a business” when someone/some corporation does something shitty doesn’t absolve the person/corporation.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

There should also be a rule to not make the same stupid Trump jokes like the last 2 years. They have been a stain on the scary stories post.
