If You're Not Already Watching 'The Bold Type,' You Have Binging To Do, Right Now

I started watching "The Bold Type" when it first premiered and instantly resonated with all three of the main characters. Sutton Brady (the aspiring fashion designer), Kat Edison (the social media manager for Scarlett), and Jane Sloan (a writer for Scarlett).

Scarlett is a fictional magazine very similar to Cosmopolitan. The show discusses very real issues in a relatable manner. Kat begins a relationship with Adena, a Muslim woman, and they discuss topics such as comfort zones in sex and being bisexual. At one point in their relationship, they have an open relationship. Sutton and Jane fight about having a gun in their apartment. Sutton is pro-gun while Jane in anti-gun and they talk about school shootings and gun policies, and are able to find a middle ground. Jane faces the pain she felt when her mother dies of breast cancer, while writing an article about breast cancer.

Season three is as great as the other two seasons and opens more discussions. Kat is running as a councilwoman and is dating her campaign manager. Jane and Jacqueline Carlyle, the editor-in-chief of Scarlett, embark on writing a news story on a famous photographer who mentally and emotionally abuses the models for the shoots. Sutton is chasing her dreams of being a designer as well as some obstacles that come with dating someone fifteen years older.

I want to focus my attention on Kat because she is my favorite character and I love her relationship with Tia, her campaign manager. Adena and Kat were super cute, but I prefer Tia. Moreover, Tia grounds Kat and directs her to other issues that need focus. They are on the same page emotionally and find a way to separate work and pleasure. Adena was in a way Kat's first love. They had beautiful moments and worked through hard events, but I believe that Tia is good for Kat.

The show itself is very progressive and tries to incorporate issues that are occurring in real life, and that affect women on a daily basis.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
