This week Conan apologizes for a trans joke but unfortunately no one apologizes for genital whitening products, Olympic gender testing, or rape as a plot device to “strengthen” female characters.

- Registered sex offenders in Louisiana now have to share their sex offender status on social websites like Facebook.
- Conan O’Brien apologizes for his anti-trans joke. (He referred to Chicago as “the city of the big shoulders” and added that it “was better than the name they almost went with… ‘the unconvincing tranny.’”

- The New Statesman reports on why rape is now seen as a reasonable way to “strengthen” female characters like Lara Croft.
