His options are pretty good, actually. They build peens for transgender dudes all the time. They aren’t quite the “grown in the womb” model, but they fool people.

My wife loves this pattern! They were her grandmother’s plates. Have you seen these willow pattern interpretations? http://calamityware.com/collections/pl…

Egalitarian = “ostrich with head buried in sand, clueless about what’s going on around them”

When you watch the “making of special” you can kinda see it between the lines. Both of them and the writers / producers are on, so they all tread nicely on the issues, but it pretty much comes out that the production of the show was really a huge problem. The networks were furious at the producer because it took…

Her legal team is tweeting quotes from her. She doesn’t have access to twitter.

From her legal team. She has phone access to them; they quote her words.

Someone from her attorney’s office is tweeting quotes from her.

No - she is not allowed to tweet. The person tweeting is one of the people she is allowed phone contact with, most likely someone from her legal team. They are just quoting her words.

I had read though, that the way they were filming - 16 hour days, script changes the day of, etc. - had more to do with them not getting along. Shepherd had little babies she had to take care of and was never there for them, but neither she or Willis could get out of it.

Yeah, but the filming on Moonlighting was brutal, apparently, because the showrunner was really pretty scattered and terrible. When you have to spend 16 hours out of every day on the set with someone, I’m sure they get on your last nerve. And they were both under contract, so neither of them could walk off.

Of course I can. I can ask to be represented on the screen and in print. Why not? I can also write it myself, which I am doing.

As a trans person - these sci-fi storylines tend to be way less than satisfying, though. It comes off the same way as when they use “shapeshifter” as the default power for a transgender character in superhero comics and say it’s inclusive. They’re basically “othering” trans characters as aliens, or making transition a…

In my onscreen stories, I like to see some concrete message that what happened isn’t the victims fault and that they should not feel guilty. I know people do feel that way in real life. But leaving the message open and without comment does tend to send the message to that the victims got what they deserved. That’s…

His birth name was Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch, according to several sources.

I have more muscles that Bobby Jindal. Granted, my testosterone is the injected kind, but still. I’m pretty sure I could knock him out.

And Sylvia Rivera was there, too. Lots of trans women and trans men were there. This movie is a joke.

And many, many of the people rioting at stonewall were transgender women as well as people of color.

Oh, I agree with that - lots of the other stuff happen in the mid-20th century, like the construction of monuments, the whitewashing / rationalization of textbooks etc. A lot of “feel good” nostalgia stuff started then that helped gloss over what was begun in the 1800s. And a lot of the rewriting of racist stuff to…

I read it in high school but re-read it two years ago, so it was fresh in my mind. But my high school teacher did point out stuff she found problematic about Atticus even back in high school, with a bit of a sniff - “well, here’s what many people think, but I would challenge you to form your own ideas.” I think it’s…

I think it’s kind of part and parcel of the same thing, really. And when TKAMB was published, I can see the editors of the time - the folks who pulled Scout’s story apart from Jean Louise’ story and made it a separate narrative - wanting to believe in the white savior version Atticus because that’s what we wanted to…
