Right, I’ve agreed with you that race isn’t biological. That doesn’t mean that social constructed racial categories haven’t had devastating effects on the groups these categories oppress. As I’ve said. That certain people labelled black present physically lighter than certain people labelled white yet those…

I don’t really understand the idea that if skin colour is inherited than “all people would be poc”. Unless you’re changing the essentially definition of what it means to be a person of colour. Also I don’t think that anyone is saying that gender isn’t real but race is. I think the point is that the social construction…

Thank goodness, because I was really worried about having to switch over to the bullies on the “side of wrong”. I don’t have any more room on my arms for a poorly done “mom” tattoo and giving 8 years old swirlies until they give me their lunch money sounds exhausting.

“Race” as an academic or metric term from measuring or grouping people is absolutely constructed, but the colour of your skin when you are born is not. And unfortunately because of years of racist colonial social constructs, skin colour as a biological trait is combined with said social constructs to create a racial…

If you can find me an article written by a woman who feels that way, and who isn’t transphobic or biologically determinist, I will absolutely read it and take it into consideration when I’m discussing this topic in the future.

Well alright then. I guess I'm a bully. You should probably steer clear of any feminist discourse in the future to avoid all the bullies advocating for the rights of marginalized groups who are consistently denied platforms to speak for themselves.

DinosaurHead deadnamed Caitlyn Jenner and acknowledged questioning MTF transitioning. That’s offensive as fuck, even if it wasn’t intended to be.

I didn’t call you transphobic, you called yourself transphobic. I asked you in an above comment if you were questioning the validity of transitioning from male to female because a trans woman is born with male privilege even if she doesn’t identify with it, or if you just thought “transracial” was just as legitimate…

Well first of all, if you’re questioning the validity of male-to-female transitioning, then you’re transphobic. So there’s that. Second, “transracial” is actual a term used to define children of one race adopted into a family of another race and raised within that racial construct. Dolezal’s adopted siblings are…

Is your comment a question of the validatity of male-to-female transitioning, or a statement that “transracial” and transgender are both legitimate, inoffensive non-normative identities to have?

Thank god. Of all the ridiculous nonsense she did, the hair was one of the most offensive in my opinion. It’s the ultimate symbol of white privilege to be able to afford a salon experience that not only gives you the “ideal” black woman’s natural hair, but the most ideal of said “ideal” hair style. Like a perfectly…

I’m aware. My personal feelings about rape fantasy porn or play in the home haven’t factored in to my condemnation of the culture that’s been created here. It’s not just studios that specialize if you will in that specific genre, but a number of studios with a number of different specialities whose actors and…

I mean, obviously. Whether Deen established his fetishization of rape (or rape fantasy in consensual sex) before or after he entered the porn industry is fairly irrelevant. What is relevant is that regardless of the safety and health policies they espouse, Kink and the studios like it that Deen worked with created an…

I feel like these are very different situations though. Your cousin has presumably exhibited problematic and offensive behavior for a while, or at least done things that you have personally experienced. You have beyond good reason to block all contact with him for as long as you want to. But in most* families, there’s…

YES! I honestly don’t understand it. I don’t watch any of their shows or know anything about them to be honest, but they’re not any more offensive or problematic than any other reality TV stars or incredibly wealthy people. I feel like there’s a backlash from certain groups of people claiming to be enlighted or…

As you said, everyone’s experience is different. Kim’s experience, which probably includes placenta accreta and preeclampsya that indicate a high possibility that she’ll need to have a hysterectomy, is not yours. Dismissing her body weight anxiety as superficial or self-absorbed is incredibly cruel, especially as a…

Here are a few articles, two of which are written by Hindu Indians, about why the yoga we see in Europe and North America is actually a classic cultural appropriation. One is also, in part, about how to go about practicing asana without being appropriative.

Right. I agree with you, especially about the validity of ace persons and the fact that there’s not research that tells us how many married people are actually unhappy with each other. But this article didn’t make a wholesale judgement of married people, and it’s not stepping on other people’s relationships.…

Quite accurate.

So here’s the thing about this: not everything is about you. It’s the norm to get married to your partner of choice for life. Most civil laws in America and most European countries are catered to you. Socially, you are not judged for making the decision that you thought was best. We know that anyone can “do them”. But…
