Ooooh She Shady

Here's Tim Gunn feeling the cunt.

Today's Lesson

My tranny hooker boots!  My God!  I can't move my tranny hooker boots!

I am so embarrassed.  Somehow I never knew the true origin of the word "tranny."  It's a diminutive of transvestite, not transsexual.   Transvestism generally only implies crossdressing.  Transsexualism is simply when someone identifies with a gender other than his biological sex.  Maybe I did know this, but I've forgotten.  I'm having memories from a book that referred to transgendered people (fucking hell, don't even get me started on transgendered vs. transsexual; my fragile mind can't handle that right now) going through the transition as "transies."  That's a little advanced, and it just doesn't soothe my ears like TRANNY. 

What started this was GLAAD throwing a fit over a kid saying tranny in an episode of Glee.  The kids were to put on The Rocky Horror Show, and Mike Chang backed out of playing the "sweet transvestite" Frank 'N' Furter because his parents didn't want him "dressing up like a tranny."  GLAAD's Matt Kane commented that "unfortunately the larger problem here is that the word “tra**y” has become an easy punch line in popular culture, and many still don’t realize that using the term is hurtful, dehumanizing and associated with violence, hatred and derision."  First of all, if you're going to play grown up, use the real word.  If it is so polarizing, don't give it power by fearing to even write it.  "Tranny" is not Voldemort.  Secondly, I strongly believe that epithets can be used to highlight ignorance.  Okay, Mike Chang's parents don't want him to dress like a tranny.  Ha ha ha.  But what is that really saying?  It's showing that his parents are so closed-minded that to them, even playing the part of a tranny is unacceptable.  I don't really see anything wrong with referring to people as trannies.  If a female friend is wearing terrible makeup and a bad outfit, yes, I will tell her she looks like a tranny.  In an old episode of Glee, Finn says "fag" to Kurt, and it was a very powerful use of the word which emphasized Finn's own issues and insecurities.  Invectives can serve a higher purpose than just making us laugh.

This Is Cute

I think I randomly found this from someone's Twitter page.  I like eery and slightly disturbing stuff like this:

Enough said.

Songs That Make Me Happy

My favorite 80s song:

Looking Good

This bitch knows she's hot.  It's 1985, and she's about to paint the town neon.  I'm not going to lie, her lip gloss be poppin.  She looks this crazy made up, just imagine what she looks like at 6:00 a.m. with no makeup and no wig. This is a man, right?

Hell Yes

I think I've written about these books before, but my favorite fantasy series ever is The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan, and now Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.  There are 11 books so far, with number 12 due out at the beginning of November.  These books are amazing.  The story is epic and engrossing, and the detail of the world and multitudes of characters is astonishing.  Jordan created a compelling magic system, which is vital for any fantasy read, but this might be the most interesting.  The original author died a few years ago, but he had already outlined how he wanted the series to end, even writing some of it himself.  The last two books are co-authored by Brandon Sanderson, a talented fantasy writer by his own merit.  I'm excited for the next book, and this trailer gave me multiple nerdgasms.  The character being quoted was my favorite, and she last appeared many books ago, but the authors have been hinting at her rescue for some time.  NBC has the rights to do a miniseries for the first entry, but it's apparently unlikely that it will be made.  Universal Pictures plans on making the first book into a movie, but this worries me.  There's too much going on in this world to translate to film.  I think it's possible for a great movie, but no matter what, it will be highly simplified.  It has potential to be terrible, but I'll see it anyway.  If you haven't read the books, get off your grubby ass and go get The Eye of the World.  Better yet, sit your grubby ass in that seat, and just order the Kindle edition.

Tranny of the Day

Okay, well I think he might be a drag queen, but that's just a technicality at this point.  Directed by Michael Serrato with a cameo by the lovely Calpernia Addams:

Finally

I should have started this a long time ago, damnit.

Hells No

Kristin Cavallari has no fucking business being in a video for the Trevor Project.  Really, bitch?  An anti-bullying PSA?  You got PAID to be a bully for years. You're a professional bully.  You took that shit to a  whole nother level.
