Former Macy’s Worker Turned Social Conservative... →
When Natalie Johnson saw a young transgender woman entering the dressing room at a Texas Macy’s, she moved swiftly to interrupt her, telling her that she was in the wrong place.
“I had to just be straightforward and tell him [sic], ‘You’re a man,’ and of course that … really got him steamed,” Johnson told KSAT.
But Macy’s LGBT-inclusive policy explicitly allows transgender customers to use...

5 Signs You're Acting Like a White Guy →
When I read Gene Marks’s Forbes piece, “If I Was A Poor Black Kid,” it literally made me woozy with anger. Actually that’s not true. That was how I felt when I read the title and saw Gene’s smiling (white) face shining back at me. I wanted to grab him and shake him like you would a victim of shock.

I want it to continue to serve a purpose for someone else, though. Since it’s so stretched out, maybe someone who usually wears a size “S” (it’s a size XS tri-top) in Underworks binders would...
