This reminds me of the argument from Christians that I can’t possibly have any compassion or moral compass, because I’m atheist.

What would any one trans person have to say about the possible physiological effects of a particular treatment X number of years in the future which could only be known to a trans person?

You can fuck right off with that. I’m a straight, white man, and this has gutted me. Hell, I’m the one texting all of my female friends to tell them what’s going down today.

I’ll chime in as well, though Mercedes and DrDonna both make the point perfectly.
There are no downsides to the treatment of pre-adolescent kids. Because pre-adolescent kids are not given any medications. Zero. None. At most, they’ll get therapy.
Even come puberty, the idea that we just cram hormones in kids is…

this brought me so much joy

Yup- they key phrase here was “Ivy-Leaguer”-- they see it as proof that educated people are horrible.

The real surprise is they didn’t hit harder on her “weed for pets” business because that’s some California bananas right there.

If anyone gets any kind of Fox News in their feed, they see their website routinely posts on random crimes that involve black and brown people. 

Fox News reports on any crimes or misbehaviors in California with an insane glee. Partly due to the stereotypical disdain conservatives have for the state, but mostly to troll suckers into the furious comment shitposts that are Fox’s bread-and-butter.

Nah, it’s just a way to show that “Liberal San Francisco is racist too!” More than that, Fox just regularly reports on shit that sensenalistic, so this means two of their goals.

I feel angry i can only give this incredibly well placed gif one star

I own the Blu-ray release from a few years ago. Disc One is the edited cut and Disc Two has the uncut version. Still in that version.

I’m pretty sure newer video releases cut out part of the weasel gangster’s dialogue when he tells Eddie to “Cut the bullshit”. This is unfortunate, and it reminds me of the similar video censoring of Spike’s random expletive “Oh, shit!” from the 1986 animated Transformers movie.

I would really like to stress that in 1997 this movie was completely groundbreaking in how it dealt with Brandon’s death and story. Hillary Swank was known, but not well known. For the time, this was a huge risk for any actor. To judge how people handled it back then by today’s standards isn’t really fair, and it does…

I think the idea was for the actor playing the role to resemble Teena. Hilary Swank did an astounding job and I think the role could have been played by either a trans man or a cis woman, but not by a cis man.

they showed him as a adolescent young woman first, coming through the revelation that he was in fact trans, so it needed to be played by a woman.

Especially since intersex is not a sexual preference and asexual is a lack of sexual preference.  The “Q” is a pretty good summation of everything else, I’d agree. 

No we don’t. I like Maggie much better as Aunt May.

Everyone keeps forgetting about poor Maggie from “A Different World”
