The title of this feature is extremely transmisogynistic in obvious ways. "Ha ha, get it? Don't be a dick. Because women don't have dicks. Get it?"
It's not clever. It's not funny. It's hateful and reinforces a culture where trans women are othered, misgendered and dehumanized. I expect this kind of shit from assholes like Joss Whedon, but I thought Bitch magazine would be a little more conscious of the effect their words have.
