Laverne Cox becomes first transgender person on cover of Time Magazine

While I don’t disagree with bsolutely anything Spirit Juice just posted above…

I’d like to point out that - it’s not like us black folks are truly looked upon as equals…is it as bad, hell no, but the whole donald Sterling situation should let people who pattern their cause after the Civil Rights movement know that while it can and will get better, any type of minority will be prejudiced against. It may not be on the surface, but it is there.

  • :bluu:

only a gay black person has the answers :rofl: and they’re wearing white woman wigs not afros, just make sure you remember that

I don’t care what an individual does to their body and that individual is free to call themselves whatever the fuck they like and receive no reprecussions or harrassment because of it but fuck trying to get everyone else to play along and call you that as well.

I now declare that I identify as the unfallible poster of truth in this thread, if you disagree you are both a bigot and contradicting yourself.

On a separate note, it seems almost like people have too much of an unhealthy attachment to gender roles which really don’t work too well in this day and age, perhaps talks like this wouldn’t even be happening if people weren’t still obsessed with the idea that “This is how a man should act and this is how a woman should act”, it would be nice if genders were eventually done away with altogether one day and we were left only with individuals with Male and Female soley reffering to bodily traits with no behaviour or feelings attached.

Jesus christ, i was going to play some ttt2, but this page alone blows my fucking mind. Lemme respond to some of this shit so you lazy fucks can move along to more progressive points on the topic at hand, then continuing to argue like a bunch of housewives for another 4 pages.

We get it man, just let this thread go. It’s not for you, other then to continually defend yourself and argue nonsense points. Do not assume someone is acting like perez hilton because they got rejected in an interview. This country is filled with so many homophobes at times that wearing pastel colors, or to fitting of a suit, or not talking like a burly man is an instant superficially based assumption of someone being gay. That they will inevitably roll with to discriminate on said applicant. Not to mention that obviously no one should be discriminated against like that in general, so what point are you even arguing or attempting to make.

Gay people offend you, and so do trans people. We get it, then leave the thread. Why are you here other then to argue with people at this point. You have said your peace, we get it, no need to further continue to let people know how you feel on these issues. Also, people should be able to feel comfortable where they work. No one should be okay with going into work to be bullied or shunned because of their race, ethnicity, gender, creed, or religion. You accept that it should be fine if they are being shunned at work for who they are because they still have a job at the end of the day, fine. Just stop now with your replies, we get it my dude.

I know people are replying to the stuff you’re saying, but please, stop replying to them, and for those replying to the shit he is saying that you disagree with, at this point in the thread, let it go. He is not going to change his opinion, and definitely not going to change it from these weak ass replies he is getting.

You have said some of the most sound stuff in this thread, but just stop with these odious comparisons. It does nothing for the thread. Why are you even bothering to compare the LGBT movement to the civil rights movement, which ultimately is going to have someone bring up slavery, which ultimately is going to lead to just more odious comparisons. Whats the point. Maybe its to reply to what someone else said, but for the betterment of the thread, if you all care about this so much, then just stop the comparisons, and move forward on topical discussion of social injusticies, healthcare, dumb opinions of politicians, anecdotes of peoples struggles, etc…

Edited for wrongness here. lol. Shouldve googled first.

Everyone just stop replying to dumb shit, and move forward if you care that much about this topic. If youre here just to argue because youre bored, then why not move along to something a bit less sensitive then this topic. Its going on 4 pages of nonsense back and forth, with the occasional person to come in and declare how dumb this thread has gone without offering anything to change it.

Move forward or just stop giving a shit about this thread and let it die. These odious comparisons and high horse replies of “this thread is dumb”, “you can compare the civil rights movement to the lgbt movement because”, or “i now have a worse opinion of some of you” isnt going anywhere, and there are TONS of things to discuss on the topic at hand that dont involve diving back into that cesspool of discussion.

I don’t even want to know how this sentence happened.

Don’t let it happen again.

yeah, i am pretty wonderful. :cool:

Once again as stated before.

How can you compare something someone is born as (race) to something someone willfully choses (trans)?

You believing it doesn’t make it true.

So a black man isn’t born with that skin tone?

Am I overlooking a critical aspect of biology here…should have told black slaves about this.

You are making huge assumptions in the gender the person is. You think a person chooses to be that gender when, like sexual preferences, they are born inclined to that gender. It’s like when people kept saying being gay is a choice despite the insurmountable evidence proving the contrary.

So in other words…a person born with black skin is the same as someone who actively chooses to be trans?

It doesnt matter either away.

The best part of this thread is that people that are into pedophilia, cartoon rape porn, and racism are all of a sudden champions of justice and human equality…

Anyways, doods on here still mad that they paid cash money to send a tranny to japan and didn’t get to hit.

Hey OP, you’re oppressing all of us by pointing out TRANSPHOBIA.

Remember, if you are uncomfortable with your partners gender identity, it’s only rightyou murder them. How dare they exist in contradiction to my dichotomy narrative! I decide someone’s identity, not them!

I am doing the world a favor by not using their preferred a pronoun! I am a Hispanic female and there’s no way I can be an executive because I was born into my lifestyle, I chose to be less intelligent based upon factors out of my control!

Also science is not culturally biased at all! Sure there were textbooks about gender and sex written decades ago saying that the only “true” sex was male and that females were inferior “unmales” but NO BIAS. SCIENCE COMES FROM GOD NOT MEN. It was right then as it is NOW! People denied bi-racial children existed and that they had to “pick” one race or another years ago BECAUSE YOU CAN’T BE A COMPLEX IDENTITY YOU ARE ONE THING AND THAT’S IT.

Sure sex isn’t immutable in the animal world and is in much fact interchangeable, BUT I’M NOT COMFORTABLE ACKNOWLEDGING THINGS I CAN’T COMPREHEND TO BE REAL! STOP LYING! TRANS PEOPLE ARE LYING THEY JUST WANT PEOPLE TO FEEL SORRY FOR THEM! THEY RISK ALIENATION, VICTIMIZATION, PREJUDICE, DENIAL OF ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL LIARS. TRANSWOMEN ARE WOMEN BUT NOT CIS-WOMEN SO THEY AREN’T WOMEN JUST POISON FRAUDS! THEIR BRAIN CHEMISTRY IS LYING TO THEM!

HORMONE CONFIGURATIONS ONLY EXIST IN TWO REALMS. INTERSEX PEOPLE ARE A CONSPIRACY AGAINST MY STRAIGHTNESS! KENSEY WAS A FRAUD!

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO BE WRONG ABOUT WHAT I WAS TAUGHT. I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT SEX AND GENDER THAT’S WHY I’M ON SHORYUKEN.COM

TRANSPEOPLE DON’T DESERVE MY RESPECT BECAUSE THEY ARE DIFFERENT AND IT’S IMPORTANT I DEFEND ??? WITH PREJIDUCE.

#kappa
#going to vomit after reading some of these bigoted posts. But yes, surprised there’s a good amount of empathy and humanity left in conjunction with education. Also OP GRS surgery involves “reversing” genitals not chopping them off.

drops mic and leaves thread forever

Thats my bad. I thought it was a region. lol

Of course. It’s not like the Civil Rights Movement has completely eliminated racism or prejudice in America, and the movement is still very relevant today, be it race, sexuality, gender, religion, etc. Unfortunately, there’s still people that don’t think such prejudice still exists or applies to certain groups.

Racism and bigotry ended in 1968 man, all in one fell swoop.There is clearly no such thing as prejeduice towards any group of people in America. I mean, no group today is being oppressed in any way whatsoever. LGBTs have no prejudice against them, because I don’t see it! So it must not exist!

I’ve never heard a term so forced to be quite honest…although it seems like transphobia involves anyone who doesn’t agree with a trans person so meh.

People are free to refer to themselves however they want and likewise people are free to call people whatever they want. This is a point and concept lots of people here are overlooking…you don’t get the right to bypass someone’s preference and opinions all because you claim to be the victim. A person has as much right not to call a trans person by their preferred pronoun as a trans person has to refer to themselves in that pronoun…get over your entitlement in thinking the whole world needs to agree with you and do what you say.

Now I’m not someone who believes in the "progressive"line of thinking as it relates to gender. I don’t believe gender is 100% a social construct, I don’t believe men and women are completely interchangeable and identical in every way. I don’t believe that there are multiple genders and I don’t believe in all the other shit commonly spewed by people like you. However in spite of this I have no problem with people who do believe it. I respect their choices and ultimately would never go out of my way to force them to accept and embrace my ideas and values. In turn all I ask for is that these people show me the same mutual curtesy and respect.

I would even go out of my way to say no one here really cares what trans people do, what they call themselves, who they fuck and what they wear. In fact no one really seems to give much thought to it around here aside from the occasional joke. The issue arises however when trans people or their “liaisons"think it’s within their right to impose and implement their ideas,their arguments and their perspectives as mandatory thought streams to everyone else. Why can’t people like you just respect the concept of"to each his own”…why does there need to be such a aggressive push to immediately defer to your ideals. You realize your no better then a zealot when you try shit like this right…I mean for all the discussion of tolerance and acceptance it’s funny how the least tolerant people are those who constantly speak in its name.

In short I refer back to the South Park episode explaining the difference between acceptance and tolerance. People can tolerate opposing views but the instant you try to force acceptance…then we have issues.

Remember that dude that became a tranny on here but then turned out to be a lesbian? Whatever happened to that kid? Hope he didn’t get murdered by his significant other and worn as a skin suit like Papa Rhino.
