I love this new rockabilly-ish 'do on Lupita. So ridiculously awesome.

He hardly looks like he's aged at all.

YES! I got one for my birthday and I loved her soooo much, I had a weird obsession with pregnancy for a while. The babies were made like little bean bags, I think. Gosh she's creepy looking now though.

Everything sounds like a hipster band. Even the sentence "Everything sounds like a hipster band."

To be fair, I had some kind of cat toy in kindergarten whose belly was velcro and you could open up to find kittens inside, and I was totally obsessed with it.

It's kind of hard to tell when the female "body" looks like Christmas turkey, but I'd say not really. Maybe a bit long, but not that overlarge.

Honestly, I think everyone deserves a spot at the table in feminism, including cis and trans men, regardless of their gender expression or how much they may pass. Patriarchy hurts everyone. Maybe not equally, but anyone who is invested in deconstructing oppressive structures can have a seat with me.

I've seen cishet as a shorthand, if you like.

See, to me that is mind games. It's reading into things, behaviors that could be totally innocuous, and before you've even had a chance to get to know them! You could apply the exact same logic to plans ahead of time — why that Friday? Maybe their last date fell through. Maybe they need time to plan dates ahead…

"I have had friends who were asked out on Thursday for a Friday night date and said "I have plans" when they didn't because they felt the individual did not value their schedule."

Haha yes, it is a bit disappointing since we all love Tyrion, both book and show versions. I do think "being confused" was his kind way of saying "yeah the books... ehhhh..."

Sometimes I think not reading the books is better for the actors because they can just play the character as they were written for the show or movie, rather than trying to shoehorn in the traits from the book which might have been edited out. The show feels more self-contained and natural, less like a fan-fiction.

This was me before I moved back to my hometown. My commute was long, over an hour to an hour and a half, and I'd keep in touch with my Mom every day. Sometimes I would call my Dad, but far less frequently.

I absolutely agree, and I figured this is largely the opinion of most transgender people as well from what I have read before. But I didn't want to speak for trans people, which is why I couched my statement in being a cis woman. Because ultimately, I don't know what I'm talking about.

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm so happy for you that you have been able to find who you are, even late in life. I hope as a society we can fix this so that no one has to feel that way, especially not for so long. Even if my children's school does not teach these concepts and I can't get them to do it, I'll be…

I said that because I am cis and speaking to an experience I don't know. I don't know if trans people feel like their issues should be included in the same class or separated out into an entirely different class. Including them makes sense to me, but it's not for me to say what the right thing is for trans people.

Just so you know I'm told the correct term is transgender, not transgendered, for future reference.

Ugh. That's just homophobia and transphobia in a nutshell: if we tell our children it exists, they'll magically become it. Which is both woefully misinformed about how gender and sexuality work AND playing into the idea that being trans or homosexual is a bad thing.
