She's to trans people what Milo Yiannopoulos is to gay people. And I hate that I've typed that name often enough to know how to spell Yiannopoulos. [none]

looks like she's got a friend: http://www.dailyxtra.com/vancouver/news ... oup-183906

Opinions are one thing and I can vaguely sympathise with a minority of her viewpoints, but I hate that she's been spreading the same blatant misinformation about trans people (e.g. suicide rates go up after transition, when they do the opposite; or that trans children are being given hormone therapy, no they aren't) that have been plaguing right-wing circles, because she's apparently just as incapable of doing basic research.

On the bright side, I only found out about her because some right-wing dude on Reddit mentioned that he changed his opinion of trans people for the better after listening to her, so...

I'm actually excited about the new Spider-Man movie coming out. Like, legitimately excited. Can you imagine me ever getting excited about a Marvel movie? I mean, what.

That just confirmed that nothing in this world makes sense any more. [none]

This is evidence enough to know that someone just stole DA's ID and password. You are NOT the real Derived Absurdity. What have you done with the real DA???!!!

It's all Spiderman, yo. Spiderman was my shit when I was younger. (Well, the movies were.) I actually think Marvel might do a good job with it. I mean, it just needs to be fun and action-y and witty, and Marvel's good at that. It won't be as good as Spiderman 2, but it can't be any worse than the Amazing Spiderman 2. [none]

Can it?

The Amazing Spider-Man movies were better than the Spider-Man movies.

I mean, I think the words are still in English, but they still don't make any sense.
