I’m in Stockholm! I know that’s not south but it is Sweden.

And misgendering people and calling them ‘it’, you cannot track that either. But I was truly shocked by the volume of homophobic language every second, I think the level of transphobic would likely be even more […]

Someone should include transphobic language in this, I bet that’s even more shocking.

So basically you’re saying I shouldn’t cut my own hair even though I am broke and living in Stockholm and my Swedish does not extend to phrases such as “They’re in a band” and “No they’re twins, from Canada”?

Woah I have been following the Autostraddle dream since the halcyon days of L Word Online, how have I never seen Living It Out before?! Did it ever get made? I’m guessing not that website doesn’t exist any more […]

Is anyone else just profoundly sad that such flagrant stupidity is being given airtime at all? This argument defies all sense about sexuality and genetics and reproduction and morality and legality and like, […]

I expect every article on Autostraddle to use inclusive language because Autostraddle is freaking awesome. That shouldn’t be a big thing to ask of anyone and it’s sad that we settle for ‘trying’ so […]

Also just plain sexist. Like do boys not get rushes of hormones and feelings when they’re attracted to someone?!

It totally wouldn’t detract from an otherwise great article with good advice to remove that one […]

Anyone who likes this should definitely check out a feature the Guardian used to do – Writers’ rooms. http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/series/writersrooms

Pictures of where various writers work, some of the […]

Nothing on the show has remotely implied that Mini or Franky was confused or going through a phase. Two people who have/had an attraction not sleeping is not implausible. If you think it is I sort of want your […]

I think reducing Franky’s behaviour this season to ‘dick-hungry’ is a huge oversimplification of what is going on with her this season. Like I said, the problem is what is going on with her isn’t properly […]

Maybe I love this show too much regardless, but I have patchily enjoyed this season so far. I love Rich and Grace and Rich’s episode was a beautiful punch in the gut the way Skins does best. I actually like Mini […]

I really really hate everyone’s need to compare any kind of political protest action anywhere to the Arab Spring. I realise in this case the protesters themselves are doing so, but I’m reminded of the way the press and right wing politicians used such comparisons to de-legitimise any political point that could have been raised [...]

I think everyone should watch ‘The Boy Who Was Born A Girl’ – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ax7M2tIaShg Ignore the clunky title, Channel 4 has a habit of producing deeply moving documentaries about the humanity and stories of people on the edge of society and then naming them things like ‘Two-ton man’. The doc is only half an hour [...]

He sounds like the scariest teacher ever, omg. Side note that is really the main point of this comment – when are you guys gonna get your pure poetry all up in Carol Ann Duffy. Like, she is the first female poet laureate and a massive lezzer. And she gave you an onion for valentines [...]
