@KeKesUHaulFacility , You mean genderfluid people? Who, if you show respect to their identity, will let you know how they feel about their gender any given day and correct you nicely if you mess up accidentally. Or do yall just rely on caricatures and whatever asinine ideas you've come up with on your own?
-
@KeKesUHaulFacility , no, I'm referring to the people who do it only for attention or don't let everyone know what gender they are and get mad when you get it wrong. Don't even try to deny their existence. At least where I am, true gender fluid people are rare or nonexistent, with most of the people doing are very obviously doing it for attention. (I know that sounds bigoted, but you haven't seen these people. They start pretty much every conversation with a "stop raping me" or "check your privilege," regardless of circumstance. It's honestly sad)
-
@KeKesUHaulFacility , look, all I'm saying is that I can't be expected to know what gender you are today if there is no indication of it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the average trans person is just a regular person, right? If you are going to change your gender, fine with me. While I apologize for just assuming that a couple of the gender fluid people at my school just do it for attention, I find it tough to believe anything when you feel the urge to tell everyone. Let's just agree to disagree, neither of us can be swayed. I rather just keep this civil. After all, we come here to laugh, not to argue. *reaches out hand to shake*

@KeKesUHaulFacility , lol, girl/guy/apache attack helicopter, I'm okay with you saying you're transgender, I'm okay with you saying you're gay, or bi, or pan, but choose something or don't get upset with people for not knowing. It's borderline multiple personality disorder to just say you're a different gender randomly, and just ridiculous to expect people to know. *triggered*

@captaincowtj, Then ask instead of blaming them? From what I've heard Trans people really hate being treated like their identity is a burden on other people and its not that hard to eschew that. Also, I'm not trying to speak for their community here but from reading and listening to people's experiences trans people generally feel good and relieved when they figure out their place on the spectrum, like why wouldn't you want to share that with people? You make your ideas seem reasonable but really they're shady as hell.
-
@KeKesUHaulFacility , there's a big gap between you and I in terms of understanding. (Not being condescending, just acknowledging that you aren't here with me and we don't share the same experiences.) I guess I'm not explaining myself correctly, but I'll try again. I do ask. It offends them. I treat them like a normal person, and they get offended. This is the minority, but they do exist. Even if you don't believe me, let's just go our separate ways and agree to disagree. *extends hand again*
-
@KeKesUHaulFacility , He's not talking about transgender, because transgender know what sex they want to be, he's talking about the ones who just randomly and always change what they want to be. Those people obviously don't even know themselves, how can they honestly expect anyone else to understand them?
-
@BigHatLogan, Transgender isn't just FTM and MTF, it's an umbrella term defining all people who don't conform to the gender binary. For some people it takes a while to figure out their exact label, or they don't want one at all, it's not hard to be nice and respectful while they figure things out. You could also be describing gender fluidity, which is a 100% valid identity and its not hard to be nice and respectful to them either. Yours is the kind of rhetoric that makes for the horrifying suicide rates in their community.
-
@KeKesUHaulFacility , if it was 100% valid, it'd be universally accepted. Which it is not. I can understand people switching to male/female (whichever they want, I don't care) but you cant just be nothing. That is literally a thing when you're human. You are either a female or a male. We have the technology now that allows them to pick, but you can't be nothing, nor can you change daily. Their "label" is whatever they have between the legs. Gender is the same as sex. There isn't a certain mind set to be anything. What they are trying to figure is what they are comfortable with. I'm fine with that. But as I've said, it's whatever between the legs, not what's in your head.
-
@KeKesUHaulFacility , to answer your questions, I have met several trans people, and I have my skepticism, I respect them cause I don't know what they feel. Gender fluidity sounds like some some bull, if you're one sex and feel like you'd be happier as the other, whatever. But if you're changing every day, you're just doing it for attention. I think they're just trans people who got hooked on the attention they got from switching genders so they try to do it every day
-
@tampon theif, Except that's wrong, that's not what it is at all. And it's disgusting for you to say they're doing it for the attention because the type of "attention" that trans people get comes in the form of bullying, discrimination, and physical violence. They're not who they are for kicks and giggles. Laverne Cox said it best "invalidating trans people's identities is an act of violence".
-
@KeKesUHaulFacility , Except that's wrong. Here, where I live, in Texas of all places, transgender people get the same, if not more, respect as anyone else. Especially in my town, there has never been an act of bullying, discrimination, or any kind of physical violence against any of the transgender people here. And there is quite a few transgender here.
-
@KeKesUHaulFacility , Oh? So, you're telling me you live here with me? So you know my school I graduated from and you know my community? Why don't you just stop now? Not only have you lost this argument by discrediting yourself with the lack of respect you been putting out, but you are also just embarrassing your self further at this point.
-
@BigHatLogan, There is no way that in all the years your town has existed that there's been no incidents of a Trans person being assaulted or harassed, especially since the police and other authority figures can't be trusted in those situations and its unlikely to get reported. And obviously the respect for Trans identities can't be that high because you're there.
-
@KeKesUHaulFacility , Wow. You're no better than what you're trying to make me out to be. As I've said, I respect transgender people. I don't care for the one who constantly change what they want to be. Everything I've said is true, whether you believe it or not. I no longer need to defend myself to you as I've officially lost all respect for you. Please refrain from commenting back.

@KeKesUHaulFacility , I was pretty close with a trans girl in high school, and in all my years knowing her she got more positive attention and respect than most people I know. Aside from the occasional behind-her-back remark from the douchebags who talk about everyone, there was no discrimination, verbal physical or otherwise, against her or any other trans person I know of. Go back to tumblr

@KeKesUHaulFacility , gen·der ˈjendÉ™r/ noun noun: gender 1. the state of being male or female (typically used with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones). "traditional concepts of gender" synonyms:sex "variables included age, income, and gender" the members of one or other sex. plural noun: genders "differences between the genders are encouraged from an early age" 2. GRAMMAR (in languages such as Latin, Greek, Russian, and German) each of the classes (typically masculine, feminine, common, neuter) of nouns and pronouns distinguished by the different inflections that they have and require in words syntactically associated with them. Grammatical gender is only very loosely associated with natural distinctions of sex. the property (in nouns and related words) of belonging to a gender. "adjectives usually agree with the noun in gender and number" Origin  late Middle English: from Old French gendre (modern genre ), based on Latin genus

These people who go through that process have mental issues. Sorry. That's what is it. A scientist who's been studying this did a giant article on it and talks about it and doesn't care what the stupid, whiny, entitled millennials say on Twitter or tumblr. Not that being or having a mental a issue is wrong, but it's an issue and a problem.
-
@FoodieAsFuk, it's a good thing the psychological world is big and full of diverse opinions. Being transgender is widely regarded as normal in the psychological community and is protested by few. It is important to note that just because a paper is published, it cannot be taken at face value. There is conflict between whether or not it is a mental issue and we each take stances dependant of our views. It is not a matter of fact affair so do not treat it as such.
-
@TriangleTesticles, No. It's a complete mental illness. Anyone who's a male and tries to identify as a female or wants a different body part is completely mental. Your opinion over a 10 year study doesn't mean anything. Sorry. Gay is a little different than this. They're not cutting off body parts or identifying as a different gender. And in the psychological community it's normal? I don't know who you talk to or what blog you read on tumblr, but my gf who's a psych Doctor and would completely disagree with you and not just price you wrong and anyone who tells you that, but also studies people like that and does her own studies and agrees with that very long review on them.
-
@FoodieAsFuk, slavery used to be normal, women's suffrage used to be looked down upon, gays used to be killed by the church, psych patients used to be locked up and disgustingly tested on. And I said the psych world is diverse, I don't care what small world you live in or that you have just one study, there are multiple studies for and against this I'm just saying you can't say definitively what is factual. Only voice your belief, which you have the right to do.
-
@TriangleTesticles, no, I base my studies on professionals who study and base their careers on results and understanding logic. Not some dopey teens who read memes and Facebook posts who know nothing of psychology or how the brain works of a normal male or female. And vaccines I'm for, but being a good friend of my doctor, he tells me of certain things about vaccines that they add that he doesn't fully agree with, and with that, I don't agree on some vaccines that are a "necessity." Just most I agree with, depending on what they are.
-
@The Doctor Horrible, you're really, really reaching, and I almost feel bad for you now. Being a transsexual who identifies as another a different gender and/or has body parts cut off or put on, is not fvcking normal, no matter what you want to convince yourself. A male who thinks they're male and female who think that they are female is normal and natural. Anything else, is not normal. I'm not saying they're bad people or should be best or hated, but it's not normal or natural. I don't need any study to make me change my mind on that.
Oh god. *hides from Tumblr users*
