This is kind of weird but I'll share it anyway. I've always been very open about my body and never really tried to hide it. Some people think that I might be a little too open about it but whatever, it's my body. Well, one time a website offered five figures for unaltered pictures of my body and then they made a post

Thank you for the Clueless reference!

From now on I am calling football the "hand egg game."

For anyone wondering, and because the article didn't really make the connection, the use of a fake noise machine relies on attribution theory. Basically the idea here is that when people experience discomfort, they try to find reasons why they might feel uncomfortable so they can minimize discomfort (this is how panic

What if y'all give retouching like a three month break here on Jezebel? Maybe?

"What began as a story about a brilliant woman with a new invention had turned into the tale of a troubled man who had invented a new life for himself. Yet the biggest question remained unanswered: Had Dr. V created a great golf club or merely a great story?"

She was using her false background to lend credence to how good the putter was. Without that fraudulent background would she have even had the opportunity to create said putter? Would she have been taken seriously. the most likely answer would be know.

I'll give you that she was deliberately scamming people. I think that is indisputable. But her being trans was not part of that equation. What if she were born a woman?

I can't believe you're still trying to make this happen.

And why didn't Jez just run this story to begin with instead of the Dunham/Untouched Photo Bounty nonsense?

One of the interesting things about this is that it is nearly always a case of the accuser not having a stake in the question. There is no case in which a straight Christian man will have to evaluate their own actions and say to themselves, "no, having sex with men is wrong, I shouldn't do that despite wanting to."

It's not Christians. It's either just some Christians or certain branches of Christianity. The churches with rainbow flags advertising that everyone's welcome to attend in Boystown do not agree with that reading.

Respectfully, if you guys have something specifically against Vogue then it would be great if you would just write up a big retrospective piece. The more you make this about Lena Dunham and effectively force her to respond to this—which no matter how you slice it is a direct discussion about her body that invites a

Jez,

LOL oh I know. Dude, I for one live in a garret shooting up heroin and wallowing in filth with my rat friends. I even have to steal wifi from the junkies downstairs to perform my armchair psychology. Oh and I'm completely mad obvs. Just a typical GTer.....
