Oh snap, apparently after the cameras turned off the transwoman threatened to curb stomp the guy and said she'd be waiting in the parking lot. Security had to get involved and the skinny dude called the cops and filed a criminal complaint.

why isnt that last bit about the parking lot in the scan of the police report?

You see, grabbing someone by the neck and threatening to send them home in an ambulance is what any woman would do.

iirc the stats show mtf transwomen commit domestic violence and sexual assaults around the same rate as regular dudes which is greater than people born as women.

Foo Diddley posted:

Yeah, see, maybe I'm dumb but I'm not seeing how the "utility of the person" relates to transexual issues, or to anything at all for that matter
I dunno really what he meant by that line but it's p clear the rest of the post was talking about how now instead of just being a girl who likes traditionally masculine things or a guy who likes traditionally feminine things we've created a cultural situation where not rigidly ascribing to gender roles means you must be a dude trapped in a girl's body or vice versa, a lot of the narrative surrounding gender identity is almost regressive in how rigid they treat what men and women should do. The potential ramification of this are pretty self explanatory.

There was a guy in the e/n trans thread who was like, "I feel comfortable with being called a man or sir, and having a penis and my body, and I don't really want to be a woman. But I like knitting and feminine stuff, and I'm not very aggressive and I don't like sports. Am I trans?"

I said isn't that just being a feminine man? and the e/n mod said "It's whatever he says it is!"

Credit where it's due, the majority of the other trans thread posters were like, you're just a feminine guy, don't make it a thing.

That's the only thing you have to say? You're just really upset over "scare quotes"? Like, I didn't even know what scare quotes were. It's just that I don't really buy some giant thug grabbing someone's neck and threatening their well-being is really feminine behavior.

There is a big trans community on SA. If we want to have an actual discussion in this thread and not just say "lol those dudes are crazy. Don't cut off your dick, moron!" over and over again, I think having some actual trans voices is important. And just casually questioning their identities by, for example, putting scar quotes around the word woman when discussing a trans woman, is the exact thing that will make trans people think their voices won't be listened to or their opinions valued.

Sure, but don't they have that exact fuckin' thread on E/N or some poo poo?

The reason people can't engage with fuckin' trannies is because to them everything is some LIFE OR DEATH poo poo. There's no in-between; it's all extreme, all political, all the fuckin' time. You're like conservatives in that you can't take a fuckin' joke.

The e/n thread goes too far the other way, where you can't challenge silly made up genders, for example.

Basically, there has to be a middle ground where people with serious, fundamental disagreements can talk about this stuff. Not e/n, but not /pol/ either

The thing is, to trans people, it absolutely is a big deal. Their entire deal is they want to be seen as their preferred gender. When you put scare quotes around the word woman, you're casually dismissing their identity. You can absolutely believe that trans women aren't actually women, but don't be a dick about it

Doesn't the prefix "trans-" mean "beyond"? It all seems like such a hodgepodge of obscure terminology. If you're beyond sexual there's no need to argue. Let's just call everybody fucker. "My fucker wants me to pick up some eggs." "Hey, fucker, come down here and walk the dog!" "Suck my cock for money you dirty fucker" et cetera.

It's gender neutral and, in time, endearing.
