No, I meant are you being serious or were you parodying the tens of banned posters who tried to push that shit earlier in the thread.
It appears you're being serious, though.

Push long stupid rhetoric that made a thread a graveyard so we can't talk about the latest news. Cycles.
Well yeah. Same thing happens here when a million people quote you and put you on blast. Everybody wants to add their two cents even when it is the same exact thing that everybody else has said. It gets ridiculous very fast, and pointless.
I doubt JLaw thought about what she said, or intended to make intersex folk feel bad, and I bet she will now be more sensitive about that in the future. And I certainly don't think it wouldmhave taken all the crazy reactions on Twitter for that to happen.

yuuuup. another thing some people need to understand.
when one person tells you you're wrong, it's enlightening.
when several people tell you you're wrong, it shows a consensus.
when a million people tell you you're wrong, it's a sharp knife being twisted in your stomach.

Jesus, again with the outrage. I don't think she meant it that way.
Being gay, an hermaphrodite or else, may be a struggle to some, it's a very personal thing and until you are comfortable with yourself, it's something you keep to yourself until you're ready to bring it to the public.
She's saying that she's happy she's not an hermaphrodite otherwise she would've been outed without her consent.
Chill out.

She could have easily worded that way and it would have been understood better.

She could've. She didn't. People make mistake, etc.
Also, it's an out of context quote from a magazine interview.
That's not much of a joke though.
I think it's easy to say things you don't necessarily mean in what was probably an awkward interview at times. Most people can relate to that I think. She should apologize and make it clear it doesn't reflect how she actually feels and that she doesn't support that sort of thinking. In the end, without additional comments revealing more, people should be upset that she said it but not that she truly believes it.

Our society has seriously come to the point where "at least I'm not a hermaphrodite" is something you have to apologize for?

There are more intersex people than redheads or Jewish people.

I post this a lot because I think people think only this small, defenseless group is getting made fun of all the time. It's a whole lot of people who aren't really accepted or treated normally in any society around the world.
It's actually not that darn hard to apologize if you did something wrong.
How is this any more acceptable than saying "At least I'm not gay"?

Sure, and it's an unfortunate condition.
If someone walks away from a car crash and says "At least I don't have cancer," is that going to be a thing too?
One is a sexual orientation and one is a physical issue?
Like, these are false equivalents.

That's pretty hermphobic of her.
This honestly makes sense in your head?
Oh, good to know where the line is.
At least I don't have Down Syndrome. Man, that felt good.

Be thankful you don't!
So youre saying hermaphrodites are a cancer?

I don't see how any reasonable reading of my post could arrive at that interpretation.

You did pretty much put that condition and talking about it in the Negative pile, like when someone says something is gay to insult it. This is the road false equivalence takes us down.

LEAVE JENNIFER LAWRENCE ALONE!!!!!
Seriously though. People are making a bigger deal out of a simple misworning than they need to just for the satisfaction of getting angry at something. We all know what she meant. She just said it badly. People were saying Lady Gaga had a penis for a long time too, but we all know for a fact that she doesn't now. She would make jokes about it too. No one freaked out at her. She was just saying that if she'd had a penis down there, this would not be the way she would have wanted people to find out. She said nothing bad about people with that condition, for lack of a better word. But since it is the nature of the internet to complain about whatever you can find to complain about, people are complaining about it.
Some people can't win no matter what they say. Such is the burden of being a celebrity. She'll apologize and everything will be right with the world again. Until people find someone else to complain about.
lol, dated references.

To be clear - this is the "outrage" you're fuckin' complaining about:
WHY
Holy shit the fucking OUTRAGE on display.
No, actually, they aren't.
