well, I mean, she was walking while black, so...what did she expect was gonna happen?

I understand your anger. I understand the extreme frustration. I've worked hard on behalf of disadvantaged people (though not transgendered people specifically).

You are conflating issues. The officer can use the wrong pronouns while still being able to explain what a hate crime is.

This is one of the most self-righteous things I've seen you write. Commenters don't owe you anything because you took a few journo classes and if many people are saying that there is something wrong with the article it might be because the article is poorly written, not because they are all wrong and don't understand…

It was flippant.

I didn't read the officer's quote as "she was murdered because she was transgendered but we don't consider that a hate crime." I read it as "she was murdered, we don't know why yet and we're investigating it like any murder right now and not a hate crime specifically."

"Do you typically see non-hate crime related homicides that end with burning the already dead body and then dumping it like worthless refuse in a garbage bin?"

I hope this doesn't come across as minimizing what happened or as denying that transgender people are very frequently the target of hate crimes, because that is not what I mean to do. But I can also kind of see where the officer is coming from. I have cadaver dogs and even though I'm a civilian handler, we're called…

Wow this is just so awful. I can't imagine what her family is going through right now. I hope they are able to find the person who did this to her.

ME ME ME, I I I. LET US TALK ABOUT WHAT GETS MY DICK HARD!!!

No one cares what gets your dick hard.

"I'm not trying to body shame"

If you have to clarify your statements with that, you ARE body-shaming.

Because institutionalised sexism should just be ignored.

Fair enough. I didn't see the Kunis piece, but if it was anything like the article I would think it would be a mistake to take it all that seriously. Pop culture is fairly rife with people commenting on each other.

I thought I was pretty clear that I decided on my own not to refer to myself as pregnant. At no point did I suggest that I was trying to apply my reasoning to all men/couples, and no third party made the decision for me.

There's a fundamental contradiction in what you're saying. You simultaneously say that white people shouldn't ask to be taught by black people (or cis people by trans people), and then say that no one cares about your background/how you grew up. That is literally what the people "asking to be taught" want to hear!

I'll admit I used to be an idiot too. I was never taught what being transgendered meant (or that it means different things to different people) so the physical transition I assumed was a given.

He's establishment chic. That's code for "daddy was famous" as far as I'm concerned, but for those who don't know, yes, he is photographer Bob Richardson's son.

But haven't you noticed how when Jezebel writers find annoying celebrities, they're usually women?

Hmm, is your answer that Jezebel is shitty to everyone? Cause I don't think that's true.

The whole world took notice because this is barbaric.

You can't arrest people for shitty views, but you can arrest them for making threats. Rodgers could have easily been arrested for his manifesto, and should have been if the police had found it out.
