It's okay to like things, to dislike things, to like or dislike people, even to have opinions on things or people. But to paraphrase a recent viral tweet, "Opinions are for things like 'I dislike coffee', not 'I dislike black people'." It is generally frowned frowned upon, and for good reason, to dislike people, for certain traits that have been historically used to justify their disenfranchisement. One would break Wheaton's Law to do so. So when we happen to dislike the company of some transgender persons, for reasons not directly related, but possibly tangentially related, to their trans-ness, how does one avoid dickishness?  To even identify traits related to mental health, education, or childlessness, seems judgemental because of the cultural connotations of these characteristics. George has professional skill in how to distance oneself from judgement regarding these concepts, but Jess can't shake the feeling of being the bigger or more advantaged sibling, pointing a finger at their smaller sibling, obnoxiously in their personal space, almost-but-not-quite-touching, saying "I'm not judging you! I'm not judging you! I'm not judging you!" The little song Jess sang can be found at youtube.com/watch?v=0la5DBtOVNI.

Time for another rousing discussion about which story best exemplifies a Doctor’s era. This time Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne tackle the 10th Doctor (not literally—as much as Lynne would probably enjoy that). “School Reunion” lies at the heart of the discussion, though “The Girl in the Fireplace” is touched upon and “Journey’s End” is defended quite ably. We start the show with some Who-centric items that excite us, and end by taking a few minutes to talk (and rant) about the “Tennant Fangirl” phenomenon, awesome and unfairly-derided cosplay, and how to not be a dick.  (Wheaton's Law, people. Follow it!) ^E Also covered:Doctor Who the Writer’s Room!New Zealand Doctor Who Coins!New Doctor Who Soundtracks!Classic Doctor Who on BBC America!How to Spot a Real Doctor Who Fan
