In an interview with a local television station, the conservative firebrand said she believes God will destroy Minneapolis once the legislation is enacted, and wants to be far away when the reckoning happens.
LOLZ. Thanks, take off before I get back! Peace out, lady.

OK, what? Benedict Cumberbatch is playing Khan, who is meant to be Indian or at least a POC…and was born hundreds of years before the parallel universe split…so why would it make sense for him to suddenly be white…even if the original actor was Mexican and not Indian.
I wonder were they just scared of having a brown man as the villian? And if so, how come they’re so...

I try to remind myself
When I start to worry about a part of my body being “not right” because I’ve had surgery, or wasn’t born with the “right” chromosomes, or what-have-you, that I am not the only one with these fears. Our whole society is focused on having men’s bodies fit some Platonic Adonic ideal.
Most recently, I glimpsed my chest in a mirror and noticed that my nipples...

Seriously? Among the many reasons someone might get better at math after going on testosterone, one is that stereotype threat is a real thing. If you’re no longer faced with the burden of disproving the notion that...

Not sure what to think
About a clothing store that markets itself for “butch women and trans men” (came across it today on Tumblr). I get the reason why, for sartatorial purposes, you’d put those categories together. But I think a store marketing to “femme men and trans women” might get some kickback from people in the LGBT community. Because there’s a whole host of assumptions in...

Equality House
I’ve seen some posts on teh Tumblr complaining about the “cishet” (first time I’ve heard that term—I thought it was a mangled version of “fishnet” at first) who opened the Equality House across from Westboro.
The complaints are of two kinds: first, he’s not queer/gay and he has no right to do this kind of activism; second, he didn’t think...
