Why You Should Watch 'Outlander'

It will change your life.

The Wrap

When I ask my friends if they are fans of "Outlander," they respond with “what’s that?” I feel as if this show is very under estimated and more people need to be aware of this magnificent show. So here are some reasons why you should start binge watching it.

1. If you like "Game of Thrones", you will like "Outlander."

It has the same kind of wit and gore that "GOT" has. Coming from a fan of "GOT," I instantly fell in love with this show and I am just as obsessed with "Outlander" than I am with "GOT."

2. The first season is filmed in Scotland, so you can bet there are a lot of Scottish accents.

All of the characters (except for Claire) talk in a Scottish accent. Forget wanting to have a British accent. Having a Scottish accent is the new thing now.

3. The main male character is hot.

James Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Fraser. Beautiful blue eyes. Beautiful long red hair. Beautiful body. Beautiful human being. Enough said.

4. The story line is super good.

It is about a woman (Claire) who time travels from 1945 to 1743 in the Highlands of Scotland. Claire has to decide whether to go back to her husband in 1945 or stay in 1743.

5. Shirtless scenes of Jamie.

You get to see Jamie’s body andbutt multiple times. I mean, I’m sold already.

6. If you like witch stuff, there is an episode about witchcraft.

If you find witchcraft interesting, then you will enjoy an episode where Claire is accused of being a witch. Such an interesting episode that popcorn will definitely be necessary.

7. The books are amazing, and the TV show is equally amazing.

The books are phenomenal. Diana Gabaldon did an excellent job writing all seven books And yes, this means that there will be seven seasons. There is still time for you to join the fandom.

8. You will want to visit the Highlands sometime in your life.

The scenery is absolutely beautiful. Forget going to Cabo for your honeymoon. You will want to go and vacation in the Highlands.

9. It will make you want to live in Scotland and not England.

Again, beautiful area. What more do you want?

10. Season two is out.

You are not too far behind, you can still catch up. So you can't use the excuse that "I will never catch up" because you can.

11. You won't regret it.

Trust me, this will be the best decision of your life, right behind you obsessing over "GOT."

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.
