Easy Salmon Recipe posted:Which is what I have a problem with. The NYPD can march in a pride parade with my approval when it's holding a giant banner that reads "We're sorry we made you beat the poo poo out of us at Stonewall", and pails of garbage are passed out beforehand for the audience to throw at them.

I spent years working with dozens of folks who were/are cops. Not all police officers are bastards; just the majority of them. If cops don't want me to have this opinion, then maybe they should stop being assholes?

Atlanta does pride in. ...Sept or Oct, I forget, but that's to make sure the entire parade doesn't drop dead from heat stroke.

Hmm.....let's see.....I actually withheld shooting folks that I could have in the ROE because I'm not a bloodthirsty savage. The one time I almost accidentally shot a civilian family because my superior was an idiot, I almost killed myself, I still feel suicidal about it sometimes. gently caress you, too.

BigRed0427 posted:OHhhhhhhhh....I missed all of that bullshit. Because we can't have nice things? On a somewhat serious note, hormones causing emotional upsets/gender dysphoria stress can lead to comorbidity with other mental conditions which often leads to ineffective interpersonal communications skills, for the first thing, and people are assholes for the second

Okay, if you go to a group of Trans folk and as a cis person start giving your opinion on surrgeries, they're gonna think your a tool, at the very least. As a Trans person myself, I give zero shits about the opinion of cis folk when it comes to transitioning. And I say this as someone who is iffy myself on whether I'll get surgeries or not (they're expensive, surgery is dangerous, and they're not at the point where I could get the outcome I really want from it anyway, so why bother?)

Aleph Null posted:After I wrote my dad a letter about my being transgender, he openly wept and worried that the divorce when I was 7 was the cause. He's Southern Baptist. Now that half of the family will have me over and treat me like a normal person but they don't call me by name and they don't call me by any pronoun. We also never, ever talk about LGBT anything and never mention that I am a woman and not a man. Having spent the first three decades if my life pretending to be a cis man, I agree. Plenty of folks who are nice to your face, but everyone pretty much bursts out laughing\talking poo poo once you leave . I've seen it happen again and again.

RagnarokAngel posted:This might be too e/n but i just flipped my mindset. How would i feel if others accused me of laughing at them behind their back when they had no proof, and I wasn't? Oh I don't accuse people of it, and they're all random strangers anyway. If someone random accused me of doing that and I hadn't it would just be a ::shrugs:: "no....." Cishets who don't interact with the community talk poo poo about Trans folks behind their back. At least on metro Atlanta.

RagnarokAngel posted:I don't mean openly accuse with a finger point, I mean carrying that suspicion. It affects how you talk to people even when you think it doesn't, you don't open up, seem overly guarded things like that. Then cis should stop being assholes? I wouldn't feel this way if I hadn't spent years seeing it be the majority response. I know it's mentally unhealthy. Being a minority is mentally unhealthy because society shits on you all the time.

FantasticExtrusion posted:When I said the spectre of homophobia was a fading ghost, I said fading, not gone. A lot of closed-door examples from people who grew up in a different era and are dying. Some pandering from politicos for a demo grab. Call someone "loving human being" at WalMart in an unironic way and look at what the random sample of eyes say about it. The leader of my country just joked about how his second in command wants to genocide queers. That's not fringe. Edit: I got called a human being and threatened with violence on the train just a few weeks ago and ain't NOBODY else on that train did a drat thing.

I'm well aware of the objections you've brought up regarding SRS. Every Trans person I know is also aware of them. You'd be an idiot not to be, and they're a reason why I personally feel conflicted about getting surgery. You came off as condesending, and I've had to deal with "concerned cis" way way way too often to give folks the benefit of the doubt. If being trans weren't so spit upon, would you ID as trans? Some of your words don't really sound like something a cis person would say, tbh. Do you not want to be the gender you were assigned at birth ?

Surgeries are also dangerous by their very nature. It costs lots of money. You often have complications afterwards. I get they're better and better over time. But I don't want a neovagina. I want a cisgender vagina. I want a uterus and ovaries. Srs is, like pretty much everything transition related, is about making the best of a bad situation.

FantasticExtrusion posted:I wasn't Kramering, I just wasn't being honest enough and I'm sorry about that. I sort-of came out as trans/non-binary a week ago and got epithets for wearing v-neck shirts in 3 days so I get it. I was wrong. Frankly it was eye-opening and you know, I wasn't about to doubt your anecdotes regardless. gently caress sake people I stopped moderating my gait -entirely- in public and I'm getting stink-eye like I'm wearing a fursuit. I wasn't trying to call you out or anything, just pointing out how folks experiences can really differ. Fwiw, I was a pretty oblivious privileged shitbag before I transitioned and bigotry smacked me hard in the face (not literally, thank god) I'm sorry you're getting crap from folks. It really does legitimately suck. ::hugs::
