Apr. 16th, 2010 11:12 amWhen I do return to matters political in 2011, I'm thinking of creating a blog whose sole purpose is to debunk bigoted stories in the media: not to argue the issues, but to identify and puncture specific falsehoods, of the "in fact, the report did not state this", "this is incorrect; his actual words were..." variety. Like a Snopes for the Daily Mail, basically: tracking down the original sources - scientific papers, government reports, interviews - and just stating the truth.
In the meantime, two thought-provoking links:
Don't confuse them with facts: "We admit no ideas that do not confirm us, hear no voices that do not echo us."
Bodyswap fanfic != transgender fanfic, in the same way that slash != gay fiction. Food for thought - and inspiration for fic: boy!Donna can physically pass as a man, but what if she slips up and talks, walks, or otherwise acts like a woman?
(For those who may not be familiar with the notation, != means "does not equal". Not to be confused with the conjoining ! in "boy!Donna". Far out, the Internet is weird.)
