yeah this was making the rounds days before portland so i think it activated the angry man and his ally.
Superabound posted:fair point. its just that as someone who has struggled with an entire lifetime of relationship and career-destroying anxiety, and who once experienced a continuous month-long panic attack completely indistinguishable from my own personal concept of Hell, i feel more than comfortable speaking frankly about the subject
and, being an adult, i recognize that "being triggered" or as i personally describe it, "freaking out", is a symptom of my disease, and a purely internal phenomenon whose existence is no ones responsibility but my own
generalized anxiety disorder is after all, at the end of the day nothing more than a form of privilege, and almost exclusively the product of relatively safe and sedentary First World lifestyles
man you suck

roseweird posted:no of course not, i mean in queer films, of course, and this french comedy i saw once, but never anything in mainstream media. even the l word didn't do this that i can remember
there was a lovable butch lesbian working on their house in the l word. i can't remember what the plot was though so maybe she ended up stealing or something.

rosie o'donnell, hilary clinton
next
anyway, the person i was thinking of was Weezie, but i can't remember if she ever evolves to her true form:
discipline posted:lol I remember that guy on the L word who was like "I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body but for real" and he wanted to get with lesbians all the time and they were too nice to gut him and wear his skin as a joke immediately. that's season 3
possibly identifying with something like this even for a microsecond is why i have never watched the L word
also the women are really hot and it seems 100% exploitative
but then i think wait can't they be hot???? no yes no yes help and then my head explodes. basically just best for me to avoid the whole thing

I honestly have no clue why Ellen isn't a butch lesbian but Maddow is, I dunno what difference is you see.
I've also often found it awkward meeting a lesbian who's really butch for the first time because I start wondering if they're actually a transman and worry I'll offend them by using the wrong pronoun.
tpaine posted:so what happens in the l word, what is it about. i mean i know it's about lesbians, but what do they do
the l-word is a critique of homosexuality as bourgeois decadence. the show features various privileged lesbians living horrible petty lives.
tpaine posted:no i mean literally what did they do on the show. what did teh lesbians do
lots of dumb stuff leading to one of the dumbest series finales ever.

it was about their intertwined sex lives and the balance between fighting for who you are and living a normal life. some of the main characters included an art school dean, a radio personality, a tennis player, a hairstylist, a cafe owner, etc.
