Over at Feministing , Jos is bothered by the AP’s treatment of transgenders in a news story: “Bellamy is a male who has been living as a female for about the past six years.” No. Wrong.

Cbs-logo CBS has launched a new holiday PSA campaign that when broadcast in my home, silenced the room and made me look sort of quizzically at my husband.

Authority: 147
During the 1960s when male hair length was among the most critical issues facing American society, many adults spent their days and nights checking out the hair of their children.
