Responding to Responses to Caitlyn Jenner's Vanity Fair event
In conclusion: there are many ways of being male or female, masculine or feminine. And many trans people are pioneers in widening the spectrum of gender expression along which we live our lives. Jenner, herself has done a service by bringing one transgender life into public view. May more trans diversity become visible and the most pressing problems of violence and employment gain the notice they deserve.

Want A Lesson In How People Judge Women's Voices? Start A Podcast.
"Whiny." "Empty-headed valley girls." "Sorority girls with zero insight." When two women decide to record their voices and put it out for public consumption, these are the kind of constructive comments that follow. We are two women. We also decided to start a podcast about “The Bachelor” franchise, "Here To Make Friends," several months ago, because we thought it would be fun and believed we had some things to say on the subject that might be worth listening to. We knew we would have some haters -- as women who write for a living on the Internet, we’re no strangers to the backlash ladies who deign to...

Chris Pratt And Bryce Dallas Howard Are Living Our Dinosaur Fantasies In 'Jurassic World'
Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard have come as close as anyone can to walking among dinosaurs. While filming "Jurassic World" in Louisiana and Hawaii last summer, they had daily access to what they say amounted to a functioning prehistoric facility. But given the film's lengthy development, which began in 2001, it seems like quite the feat to have anyone shielding themselves from dinosaurs at all.
"Jurassic World" is a beast unto itself, though. Numerous directors were attached to the movie throughout its various stages, including "Jurassic Park III" maestro Joe Johnston, and it was rumored that several cast members fr...

Laverne Cox's Reaction To Caitlyn Jenner Reveals The Impossible Expectations Trans Women Face
There has been a din of voices -- many of them cisgender -- weighing in on Caitlyn Jenner’s Vanity Fair reveal. The majority of commentary has been support and praise. Aside from the usual string of transphobic comments from Internet trolls, most reactions have been positive, revolving around Jenner’s bravery, beauty and “realness” -- concepts that the cis mainstream often clings to when embracing trans women. So when Laverne Cox posted a Tumblr blog yesterday celebrating Jenner, but also unpacking the politics of beauty surrounding Jenner's warm reception, it was an interesting moment to gain real perspective from...

Anatomy Of A Smear Attack on GMO Supporting Scientists
This post was co-written with Val Giddings
Recently on the Huffington Post we came across a disturbing article - an attack by Jeffrey Smith on two respected university professors who apply a critical eye to the claims made by various advocates alleging dangers to human health linked to genetically modified organisms (GMOs.)
Smith, if you are not familiar with him, heads up a one-man band rabidly anti-GMO organization known as the Institute for Responsible Technology--he and his organization are controversial to say the least, but more on that later.
The subject of the attack piece was co-written by University of Illin...

7 Ways to Let Go of People and Places With Peace
Sometimes, what seems like the perfect situation can be absolute hell if it's not the right fit.
My first job out of college I worked for a prestigious, sexy and popular magazine company. Great pay; perks and goody bags galore. Great growth and benefits. Yet I wasn't fulfilled.
I couldn't shake it; I always felt like a tourist to that life. It just wasn't for me. After a few months I cut the cords and left to become a teacher, never looking back.
Situations can be just as draining to our life force and distracting from our purpose as energy vampires would be. Sometimes situations are changeable. But sometimes, not imm...

Dear Dr. Phil -- Is the 3rd Time a Charm?
Dear Dr. Phil,
Maybe you remember, we've been in touch a few times before. Back in 2013, I shared some thoughts with you about the use of language around mental health . My point was simply that the widespread and unconscious use of discriminatory language to describe people with brain health challenges has blurred our minds, hearts and souls. People were very interested in that conversation along with the two open letters that I wrote you.
My best guess is that these were popular because many of us, or our loved ones, feel completely dismissed by that kind of language. We also know first-hand that choosing our words car...

Neil deGrasse Tyson as "Censor of the Year"?
The Discovery Institute is usually a reliable source of humorous "breathtaking inanity," and this Darwin Day I wasn't disappointed by its seasonal contribution to the festivities.
Well, I was disappointed for my own sake, since yet again I did not win the Discovery Institute's "Censor of the Year" award, which is much coveted by those of us who hold the radical notion that science is awesome. But once I overcame my feelings of loss, I turned to examine the person they chose for this curious honor: Neil deGrasse Tyson. And then the inanity swept over me.
Huh? Neil deGrasse Tyson? What terrible act of censorship does the D...
