To dismiss the KKK as merely racist and extreme would be to ignore the fact that their beliefs are shared by a troublingly large percentage of the American population.

The first family resulted in first instance of fratricide, so maybe that shouldn't be your gold standard.

Marriage is actually about appeasing Walder Frey and keeping the passage of the Crossing open for your army.

His response sounds palpably bitchy to me.

No. If you haven't worked out once in your entire life, and the first time you try it you barf, you're doing it too hard/too long and the people who have given you the idea that makes you think its a good idea to do this to yourself are idiots. That is not working out with the objective of achieving healthy goals,…

But these people aren't athletes. They are in terrible shape.

My cousin and best friend, both of whom are personal trainers, have told me that if you are not in shape, you should work your way up to, not train to the point of getting sick and passing out. If you have trainers telling you that this is a healthy thing, you need to get new trainers.

Hidden in the eyes of these women: "Please, some American man, marry us so we can have separate bathroom stalls and yogurt."

Oh man, I'm feeling some strange things inside. I'm so confused. I've never felt this before!! Hold on, let me check something....

This Thai advertisement also made me cry buckets.

I do not find Mia Farrow's graphic illustration of the destruction of their family due to Woody Allen cheating on her with her teenage daughter to be as shocking as the actual destruction of their family due to Woody Allen cheating on her with her teenage daughter.

Reducing the lives of trans women to the "before, during, after" chunks flatly denies the broad journeys we have.

"Male assigned at birth" or "coercively assigned male at birth" (MAAB, CAMAB) are terms that get that across, while acknowledging that even the construction of "biological" can be loaded (as there is actually a ton of gender variation with regards to biology). As Mock said, she was born a baby.

It's mostly because of ego, IMO.

This is totally true! But when someone straight up says, "hey, no, this narrative doesn't reflect me at all," and talks about that in the book he's supposedly read, it's inappropriate to argue that that narrative is correct.

I feel what Piers did initially (saying Janet Mock was a boy up until the age of x) was probably a common mistake that most- myself included- would make. I really know little about the transgender identity or life but I understand (as a black African person) and am able to identify the invalidation of certain…

Yeah, I'm really split on this issue. As a WOC, I love seeing a dark-skinned woman getting attention (finally) not only for her beauty, but also for her rawamazingomg talent.

But at the same time, I feel like some people use Lupita's image to prove how hollywood&fashion has improved because Lupita's wearing neon in…

My sister wasn't able to conquer her addictions either. But I wouldn't call her "stupid." I'd call her beautiful, artistic, kind, funny, deeply troubled, incredibly sad, and gone tragically early.
