Fuck implicit bias training. That’s ‘bout as effective as saying “stop being racist and show compassion for Black People”. If a white person has no empathy in their heart for us, a few hours of “training” isn’t gonna put it there. (Unless you’re talking about brainwashing them, then I’d have to handle that personally…

You know how everyone is so fearful of paedophiles getting jobs involving children? Like sports coaches and scout leaders and teachers, that those professions are almost paranoically scrutinised?

The CW’s Flash remains as white and straight as Mike Pence’s lapel.

This is a beautiful piece. Thank you so much for sharing.

Having sex with a female android makes him pansexual? Aren’t sex dolls a thing? Wasn’t Harrison Ford having sex with a replicant back in Bladerunner 30 years ago? Wasn’t Torchwood’s Captain Jack pansexual 10 years ago? But yes Hollywood, pat yourself on the back for how progressive you are.

I would think with the intergalactic setting that lots of people would identify as pansexual - since it is likely that lots of alien species do now hew to our biological genders... There definitely seems to be plenty of cross-species interest in the cantina scenes etc.

This is exactly what is being discussed in the comments section of other Root article about this.

I guess somehow he didn’t notice that it snowed in August every time he got itchy...

I’ve re-read this article several times because I did not want to jump to any conclusion. But this piece is not sitting right with me. To me, there is this underlying message that I’m still trying to process, and I have a feeling that I know what it is…

I feel like I’m seeing mom shade dad and now dad has to bbq tomorrow.

These pictures of masculinity are super important. Thank you so much for sharing.

Powerful writing. Thank you.

You and your sweet baby boy are absolutely beautiful! ❤️

Seriously. When we meet aliens we’re going to need some new fucking labels. What is the chance of their genders lining up with ours? Or anything we can even imagine? And anatomically, there’s going to have to be a whole lot of improvising going on. In that future, strange will be full-on-weird.

Great article. Thanks for sharing your story.

Are you intentionally mirroring the hypothetical aggrieved bigot in Yesha’s article, or is this just a case of art imitating life very, very well?

Fuck off, you insecure bigot.

Thanks, Stephen.

Based on what you’ve shared, You’ve become the badass you wanted to be when you were younger. Stay strong, Brother!

Wow! Good for you!
