Yes but trans women who like men aren't gay so it's a double slur when applied to them.

maybe you shouldn't be tossing out that particular slur with such relish if you are not a member of that category, then.

Was it not clear I was satirically speaking from the viewpoint of people who call trans women traps?

And I'm 100% gay BTW. But for women.

I gotta disagree on that one, but I won't do it in here if it makes people uncomfortable.

But I gotta say that I've seen a lot of the gay folks in here make jokes out of trans stuff and I took it as satirical support and it kinda sucks I don't get the same courtesy.

Queer punk is the only real punk in the modern day. Against Me! Is doing God's work.

Also grrr at pwr bttm for turning out to be jerks who used their nonbinary identities to sexually harass a bunch of people. I liked their album so much but I can't listen to it anymore because they get money if you stream it.

It still matters for libs. Just look at how eager liberals are to disown Chelsea Manning because of two photos of her standing near alt-righters with no other context provided.

True, as I said in the other thread though, I'm conflicted about the whole thing. I wouldn't get close enough to touch those people unless I was going to punch them so it's not a good look to me 😕

I don't think it's as online as folks are saying. The terminology is new, but minorities have been beaten into viewing themselves through the lense of their oppressors since time immemorial. The idea of reclaiming slurs is a philosophical response to that; the concept that by taking the tools of your oppression and making them the tools of your expression you can destroy the narrative they wish to inflict on you.

Unfortunately 4chan is a black hole for irony so trans people there are deluded into thinking they're reclaiming when they are are drifting into living the exact narrative their abusers have crafted for them.

same person who was talking about traps now tells me she's constantly ranking herself in terms of cuteness and sex appeal relative to all the other transwomen she knows and i'm like "k you need to get the hell off 4chan cuz it's melted your brain" because that's absolutely a 4chan thing that /lgbt/ does all the time :sigh:

she's fully acknowledged that it's horrible and is aware that she's in need of mental health help real bad but she's also, well, unemployed, poor and lives in Florida soooo yeah. me and some other friends are working on helping her find a job and also help her with the whole "having enough money to eat" stuff so maybe things will get better soon :unsmith:

I'm sure you've considered this, but I'll just put it out there that a lot of therapists bill on a sliding scale based on need and can be very flexible. My old therapist charged me $Texas but was very candid that she had clients she saw for $15 a session and a couple she even saw for free.

It could be an option for her if you can find someone like that in your area. Good luck, she's lucky to have a friend like you :unsmith:

this is basically exactly how i've been feeling for the last few years.

then i noticed i felt better when i took certain steps to change my outer appearance. it's nothing major: staying cleanly shaven as much as i can, long hair, using those goofy hair scrunchies. and then i started to put two and two together, and here i am.

I’m going to dip my toes in and change my hairstyle to minimize my massive widows peak and grow it out nicely. See how it feels. Shaving is such a pain in the rear end either way that I’m considering laser hair removal no matter what happens.

Also YouTube makeup tutorials are strangely enjoyable.

People were talking movies with gross twists before and I just remembered beyond the valley of the dolls. Roger every wrote it and it's praised as brilliant satire but it ends with the surprise twist that the crazy killer manager is a trans man (with boobs!) and the whole thing before that is kinda just a boob fest with a thin veneer if "ain't it sad what society does to these girls".

Either nobody updated their reviews after women and trans people became official human beings or the whole industry conspired to protect old Roger from the fact that he wrote a pos.

I don't know about the industry but Roger himself was always pretty open about it being poo poo and that's why he never went back to writing for films, just about 'em

like fake as in nobody acknowledges bi people as existing ("you're just confused!") or fake as in you personally feel like a fake cuz you're married?
