Why I’m not non-binary
When I was seven or eight my dad took me to a football match; more than forty years later it is still the only football match I have ever…

4 teens arrested in beating of blind, transgender woman who pepper-sprayed them in Tukwila
Four teens have been arrested on investigation of assault and hate-crime charges after authorities say they beat a legally blind, transgender woman who had pepper-sprayed them as she exited a Metro bus in Tukwila.
Katie Herzog
This story is insane. Teenagers make fun of a trans woman, she responds by pepper-spraying them (on the bus), they beat her (badly), get arrested on hate crime charges, and she is off the hook. WTF?

Confessions of a Prude: I'd Never Watched Porn in My Life Before HUMP! (and Oh My God How Do I Wipe My Memory?)
A pornography virgin watches two hours of porn. In public.
Katie Herzog
I have nothing to add to the “ban porn” conversation other than this: the one and only time I’ve watched porn was at my boss’s amateur pornography film fest.

Interviewing Freddie DeBoer for my piece on a controversy broiling in Seattle schools made me revisit this piece (saved online by @jessesingal) and, goddamn, he is so good. Read to the end. It’s worth it.
