  • Re: What The Fark 5: I Can't Believe This Happened!

    Let me put it this way: I am extremely grateful that my company's non-discrimination policy includes sexual orientation and gender identity. Otherwise, they could choose to fire me simply because I'm bi/pansexual and transgender.

    And I remind you that it is an act of courage for me to use the women's restroom right now. Those in power tried to pass "trans bathroom bills," which painted all transgender individuals as guilty of rape and criminal sexual misconduct.

We will get on the internet and yell to a wide audience.
        I never would have understood what trans people face if you hadn't been here telling us. I don't know if I know anybody else trans. Screaming works.

        Some of the people who hate you, like Republican politicians, are just evil cynics looking for an edge to control people. Most of the people who hate you are ignorant and afraid and are responding with the reptile part of their brain. If they worked alongside you for a year their lives would be transformed. They'd lose a fear and hence a hatred.

        I am very sorry you have to scream, but keep screaming. Like you said, it's all you've got, but it's working. You changed my life.

          Of FFS that's exactly NOT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING Brent. You'ver never once, ever, ever, ever acknowledged the following: This is about white dudes treating them like pure ****ing garbage. Everyone *should* be treated equally by others, but they are not. They shouldn't face abuse from people for no reason, but they do, and they are human.

          If you have that acknowledgement goes out the window the second you repeat your bull**** nonsense that we shouldn't look at them as being weaker. WE ARE NOT. The people that disenfranchise them, discriminate them, hate them, act violently against them however do.

            I am saying that. They should NOT be treated as lesser humans. I don't say Miss T, who is trans, or Slap, who is straight. I don't add qualifiers. I simply say Miss T, or Slap. Period. There are some who do treat them as less. Every time one adds a qualifier, that points out that they are different, and we should treat them differently. I think that is wrong. Treat them the same.
            Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

              Ignoring the fact that straight white males have a 250 year head start where they oppressed everyone else.

                Not ignoring it. Trying to change it. You have to start somewhere.

                      Agreed. So let's start changing it.

                        There are times I have needed a bathroom escort.

                        I want to get back into triathlon, but I'm afraid of the locker room situation when it comes to swimming practice.

                        "Passing" is a transphobic concept. However, I'm gonna need about $45,000 in surgeries just to come close. I need to pass so I don't get beaten up or murdered.

                        I rarely go out alone anymore.

                        Try and walk in my shoes.

                          And that start is giving those you oppressed a step up to make up for the last 250 years. Perhaps in part by letting them have parades while you sit and cheer from the sidelines.

                            Who said they can't? I'm saying let everyone have parades. Let 'em all march. When it comes to laws, now that is a different issue. You know, actual action that changes things.

                              You can have your parade...

                              The moment straight people are told they can't be married because it would destroy the sanctity of marriage.

                              The moment your spouse is denied benefits under your insurance.

                              The moment you're told straight people can serve in the military, but don't ask, don't tell.

                              The moment you, a cisgender male, need an escort to the bathroom so you can pee in peace.

                                And what affect does a parade do? It's a celebration of who you are. If one wants to celebrate that they are straight, or bi, or black, or white, or Asian, or Latino, or pan, or whatever...fine. Go ahead and have a parade.

                                Go out and vote for change. Contact reps for change. Boycott businesses that don't accept change.

                                I really don't care if Alex Jones walks down the street with a megaphone spewing his crap. Whoop-dee-doo. I'll be on the next street supporting people who support LGBT/non-racist stuff.
