Unfortunately if he doesn’t get work in entertainment it won’t be because of what he said.

Damon Wayans? You can fuck off with your “explaining.” You are a piece of shit.

In New York it depends on the part of the city the hospital is in. In Brooklyn there are many black doctors in hospitals and in practice.

It's generally easier to consider transvetites as the equivalent to tomboys. Men who are content with their gender (male) and their assigned sex (male) and happen to really like traditionally feminine things.

I just want to add to the other responses that, when talking about the trans (or trans*- asterisk representing a more inclusive label) umbrella, those who identify as genderqueer or who engage in cross-dressing are often included in an effort to address the general phenomenon of gender-variant identification and other…

Transsexual and transgender are also two different things. Sex means your physical body, chromosomes, hormones, et al, and gender means your social roles/expectations. The term “transsexual” could describe someone who’s on hormone replacement therapy and/or has had sex reassignment surgery, but it’s kind of archaic…

Isn’t a transvestite transgender?

What popped into my mind when I read this is disabled actors. Almost always, an able bodied actor is cast to portray a disabled actor. Only exception seems to be when an able bodied person cannot pass for a role, and those actors are almost always walk ons or supporting cast.

The movie industry, both in constitution and in product, is not representative of greater society. And are you really in favor of quotas? Sorry, Hollywood can't do another action flick this year: they've only got roles left open for Japanese librarians and Latin@ tax professionals.

That would be less than 1 in 500 roles? Sounds plausible.

Therer are said to be 700.000 transgender people living in America (about 0.2 % of the population). Is it really true, that less than 0.2 % of all roles in Hollwood are played by transgender people?

I think you’re looking at this from a very judgmental point of view. Perhaps more so than her. Raising a bi-racial child is not easy. There are still people that don’t accept it, not necessarily her. Could be her community. When one choses a partner of a different race, one accepts the tougher road that society will…

Um...no. The sperm bank provides a service for a fee and the person paying that fee has an expectation of getting what they agreed to. You may disagree with what they want, but them getting that right is part of their job.

There has to be a way to sue, however, for putting bodily fluids in you to which you did not consent. Also, the sperm bank was negligent, no matter how you slice it. I find it difficult to believe it’s on her to show how damaging the mistake was, because she can’t know if the donor was screened properly for disease,…

She really should have sued for just negligence and not mentioned all the race bullshit.

Yeah, but she didn’t get what she ordered. It’s still negligent (and pretty disturbing) on the part of the sperm bank.

Wrongful birth likely would have yielded greater damages.

That’s what got me - they’re not arguing the sperm bank made a mistake, which they did, but that their baby is defective because it’s mixed race, which is so appallingly wrong!!

It would also make her come across as a better person. Throwing a fit because her child is brown is REALLY shitty. But making the argument that a sperm bank should be super safe, and that if one of its clients gets different sperm than what she picked then that means that the clinic is unreliable and what if they fail…
