They put a left rear tire on the right rear of the car for loading purposes.. this is nothing new in sprint car racing. They'll likely cooperate fully, they won't destroy the go pro either. Looks to me in the video like Stewart was trying to get away from the kid, the #45 car almost hit him too. When you blip the…

I get that. But do you deny M and F are value laden? That's the issue. I am not taking this lightly. I am saying that we don't have a system set up to explain that primary sexual characteristics, even if seemingly unambiguous, are not the whole story and that gender is not formed typically until ages 3-6. And how…

Yes. This is the general rule. Both narratives are possible. Ask, then do. I was always she. Please refer to me as such. I have friends who see their gender as a development of adolescence or early adulthood. They prefer a change in pronouns depending on when the events being discussed took place. Key point: ASK.

If it's in fact true that "every interaction [you've] have ever had with trans women has been overwhelmingly negative," I think it could be important to view these interactions within the larger social context in which they are occurring. Trans individuals are a marginalized group, along many parameters. They are…

Were you being pedantic in order to police what SaitoHawkeye said? Why, yes, I think that is what you're doing. How tiresome does it get?

My apologies. I wasn't clear, I am offering possibilities not certainties here. I don't presume anything. Only your sibling can specify. Ifs, not definites. I am sorry that I caused offense, unintended or not.

1) Those individuals annoy me, too. They are not representative. And for two...

Uh... what? Yes, saying trans women aren't women is indeed an insult.

1) I like your avatar, I am a BMW fan.

Some people just have shitty opinions that they should keep to themselves.

Not exactly. I feel like you are still conflating passing with acceptance and those are two very different things. People who pass still get rejected regularly when 'exposed'. That's because people's views of gender are still based on biological essentialism. Until people's idea of gender changes, passing only helps…

It is completely yucky. I don't have much experience with trans people, but I assume that trans people who don't "pass" as well as others cause the same uncomfortable feelings that morons feel when a gay or lesbian person looks more like their opposite sex. My sister is gay, and she tends to dress more masculine and…

Just to clarify (since you left out a space), you do agree that trans women are women, right? I think you did mean that, but I wasn't sure if you set up a binary in your later clause which would suggest trans women were neither men nor women.

Conditional acceptance based on how good you look is not true acceptance. Attractive people get away with a lot more, trans or not. Making trans people look better will promote better outcomes, yes, but that only help so much if people view gender non-conformance negatively. There are a lot of people out there who are…

As a trans woman who will never pass 'acceptance depending on stealth' is not an option. By far the majority of trans women do not pass. The Laverne's of the world are rare. So we cannot ever fight for 'hey if you pass it's all good' we need to fight for 'how about not physically attacking me or verbally abusing me,…

A reasonable distinction...still, there's something a bit yucky about acceptance being dependent in any way on passing. Not that passing is a bad thing, I don't doubt that it would be the preference of many trans people (though surely not all), even without society pressuring them to do so.

Society accepts transwomen and men who "pass" a lot more than other visible LBGT people.

I sometimes feel as if transwomen will be the last group of people in our society to get acceptance. We aren't even at a state where most people are aware of the issues they face, and certainly there isn't societal tolerance.

Kat,

I leave that to WoC and TWoC specifically to discuss. I have been informed that even in violence from BM towards BW, there is a racial factor, but it's not my place to go any further.
