You don’t actually think white people look like that do you? Have you ever seen white people before?

EXCELLENT QUESTION it’s a completely unrelated photo

Yeah, why not just have white people dress up as blacks, and use them instead? What’s the harm?

Isn’t this settled law? See Finder Keepers vs Losers Weepers.

They give Beesley and Crusher a bad name.

(This is a general response to your whole awesomeness in this thread, not the specific commenting I’m responding to).

So?

Their bullshit excuse was that they couldn’t cast a Tibetan person as the Ancient One because of the Chinese market.

Everybody dismissing people’s problem with the casting, please read this post by George Takei :

I would like to forget that happened.

You know that TERF is a slur right, on the same level as nigger, kike, kaffir, Wop, etc. right?

You care only about keeping a safe space for people born unambiguously female. Sure, you’ll “accept” safe spaces for others, or “support” that, but it’s pretty clear that your intent here is to keep anyone who doesn’t fit your rigid category out of what until now has been the women’s room. That’s why your concern…

In rereading this original post, I think the thing I find most galling is your false concern for genderqueer folks. You don’t care about them any more than you care about trans folks, which is to say you only care enough to make sure they stay out of “your” bathroom.

Trans women do belong in women’s spaces.

Fair enough. I think my concern is that trans women do belong in spaces like women’s locker rooms, I would argue with the idea that those are “spaces not designed for them.”

*hands you a sleepy cat and a hot mug of tea*

Ahhh, calling trans women MRAs, which is analogous to calling trans women men. And you claim to be respectful! Laughable! But, even beyond that, you’ve still given no evidence that trans women who have years of hormone therapy under their belt have an advantage. It’s a contentious issue, with many people who would…

My point was that, despite your disclaimers, making that argument opens a door to dangerous things like reparative therapy.

Your claim that you can “usually tell” is logically nonsensical (as well as embarrassingly dumb), and is known in general as the bad toupée fallacy. See http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Toupee_fallacy; see also http://freethoughtblogs.com/nataliereed/2012/01/30/passability-and-the-toupee-fallacy/.

I think this is what they call projection. Recognizing you are actually the entitled asshole has really been the foundation for many allies joining various social rights movements, so its not too late to catch up!
