Her “crazy” didn’t stop her from being competent at her work, though.

Like she actively seemed to demean black women when speaking about them? If that is true, that makes this entire story even more terrible because her students did not deserve to experience that.

Best explanation I’ve read so far. Thank you so fucking much and I apologize for being so fucking dense.

Could we be wrong about this? Wasn’t there a time when society felt this way about transpeople? I don’t necessarily agree with what this woman did, but I wonder, was there a cultural element in her life that she grew up with that she identified with more?

Maybe she has some kind of malingering personality disorder or mental health issue? I feel really terrible for her because of how much her life revolved around this lie and how entrenched she seemed into something that could easily be disproved.

Legit laughed out loud at your response. Sorry.

Same. Just take care of you and yours and hopefully we’ll all meet somewhere in the middle? :(

Exactly. I’ve been reading Jez and Gawker for years, mainly for the comments. But after this clear exploitation, it’s time to move on. Unbelievable. I have no words right now for how rock bottom the writer of this article has hit.

Sooooo...why is this up here for us to see as well? I’ve got a pretty tough as nails stomach but this seems in poor taste and really exploitative. C’mon now.

You will be fine because you are not an entitled dim wit like these two.

Ummmm

This sounds like the kind of post a procrastinator would make...

I hope you broke up with every one that night. :/

Anne and Ted even worked together answering phones at a rape crisis center...fucking unbelievable.

What. The. Hell.

My god. I just want to say that this should never have happened to her and I wish her and her child the very best.

Ohhh, ohhh you hate bunnies...as in “h8t”.

Thank you for the reply. It is very, very insightful for me. I cannot believe how young you are still and how incredibly young you were when this happened to you. My take away from all this is to be more aware of the possible survivors in my day to day life that I am not even aware of. Thank you again.

What part of a persistent pattern of hostile behavior in the workplace towards women on behalf of this man is confusing to you? Anyone who behaves this way is a liability to any profession, even porn. He made this happen to himself.

Maybe not grabbing women’s faces and sticking them into his crotch when they say no is a good middle ground for him. Maybe if he respected some of those basic boundaries these stories wouldn’t see the light of day and he wouldn’t lose his jobs over them?
