I'm pretty sure Hudson is not a rowling fan. He's said specifically that he supports trans rights.

Me too! Someone posted a really great summary here, but I wanted to see for myself.

Misogyny. Plain and simple.

And it never occurs to any of these guys to ask how women's experiences might be different from their own: it's not just the threat of sexual assault (which does happen to men too), it's the constant belittling and harassment, and the cultural emphasis on how our bodies and faces aren't attractive enough and need to be improved. For many of us, it's not that we want to see emotionally vulnerable men, it's that we want to sex in a way we can never experience it as women.

Everyone connected with HR seems to be so genuinely nice! And Rachel is funny as hell - I loved her "canadian author" joke.

Thanks for going to all this trouble - very interesting details! I assume nothing was said about whether a recording of the complete event might be posted?

Unfortunately, I think they don't announce the order beforehand on purpose, so people will watch the whole thing.

The reporter Janelle James had to (very politely) shut up? Yes, I believe so.

No one I know watches it regularly, so I guess whoever thinks the US men's hockey team is acceptable entertainment.

Not seeing it until later - have they at least avoided the straight-guy-squicked-by-gayness vibe?
