It’s in the DSM, but that doesn’t mean it’s a “mental illness.” Unlike the previous term, “gender identity disorder.”

Gender dysphoria is vast improvement over the previous classification, “gender identity disorder.” It is not really considered a “mental illness” anymore, as it is.

Venus? You mean Angel? I would not assume that Angel is going to end up like Venus Xtravaganza. I don’t think the trans women working with Ryan Murphy on Pose — or Murphy himself — have any interest in perpetuating the Tragic Murdered Trans Sex Worker stereotype. Even if it has a basis in reality all too often, as…

Of course anxiety attacks can cause physical pain. Obviously you’ve never had one — most people I know who’ve had them think they’re having a heart attack the first time it happens. So you have no idea what you’re talking about. In addition to being a racist, anti-Semitic piece of shit who just crawled out of a…

I’ll bet you think saying things like this gets you laid a lot. I think you’re probably just about as trustworthy as Hugo Schwyzer.

I had a lot of friends — good friends — when I was young who were cis straight white guys. They’re all gone now, and I realized not so long ago that I have none anymore. And I’m lucky enough that where I work now there are none of them either. Not a single one!

Thanks for repeating your bullshit, Jeffrey! But whoever you are, you obviously couldn’t care less about trans people or the trans community, given that you’re calling the trans women he assaulted liars. Sexual assault does exactly what for the trans community, please? And what else did he do for the trans community,…

Jeffrey Tambor is an unrepentant piece of shit who was absolutely terrible in the Transparent role — embarrassing, frankly — and who probably took it in the first place because it gave him access to trans women he could harass. Because he’s nothing but an old-fashioned chaser. Every trans women I know who’s met him…

`Obviously. But that doesn’t make it accurate to use that term to characterize the entire show! Also, it’s kind of ironic to criticize the trans people who helped create this of ripping off “Paris is Burning,” given how often that movie has been accused (with some justification) of ripping of and exploiting trans…

Are you a trans woman of color? Have you ever even met a trans woman? Do you come from ball culture? If not, who the fuck are you to think you have any idea about all this? Hint: it’s not really “the Gay Experience” that this is about. And it wasn’t written by people who got their knowledge from documentaries.

You sound nice. Who cares why they’re covering this show? The important thing is that they are.

Just in case that wasn’t your intention, you should know that you sound like you’re following the TERF Terminology Handbook to the letter. Hint: trans woman are women.

That’s what Jeffrey Tambor was known to do to just about every single trans woman he ever met. Why do these men think women enjoy having their asses grabbed?

I specified New York City. Not just one city, but the largest city. With the most trans women. Obviously. I wasn’t talking about Omaha.

Absolutely false. It depends on geography and appearance. Most trans women I know in New York City were using women’s public bathrooms more than 15 years ago. Especially if they weren’t visibly trans.

So it’s all down to the essentially random genetic accident of someone’s appearance and whether they “pass”? (I prefer the term “blend in with other women.”) There are plenty of non-trans women whom you and others like you would probably assume are “men” — and plenty have been viciously harassed and even arrested…

Over 2 million? As in, 3 times as many? What the hell are you talking about?

Again: why are you so sure that a single word of this is true?
