Exactly. People like that don’t care so much about racism. All they really care about is taking every opportunity to be transphobic and disseminate crackpot TERF ideology, even when they have no idea if the person in question is trans.

I posted here last year about my own abuser:

Emma Lazarus was a Sephardic Jew. Hardly considered “white” in the USA at the time.

Yes.

The whole supposed “left wing” motivation was absurd from the start.  As if he murdered 9 people to support Elizabeth Warren’s health care plan. 

You think there are no white people in Brazil?

It would be easy to depoliticize PP.  It can just stop being an abortion provider entirely.  Problem solved, right?

It’s all about the Jews? I never would have guessed anyone would go there!

It sounds like you’re trying to say that trans women have “loud voices” because they’re really men.  And trans men are really women.  If that’s so, then you’re just pretending to support trans men and trans masculine people -- you saw an opportunity to be transphobic, and took it.   Correct me if I’m wrong, but your…

Agree about Angel. It’s an amazing, liberating feeling to be in a situation where your’re outside your usual environment and are taken unquestioningly as who you are, and nobody has any idea about your history. (For Angel, two aspects of it.) And if you then find out that someone “clocked” you after all, i can…

Either you didn’t watch the first season or you weren’t paying attention. Sandra Bernhard’s character was in several episodes in the first season, and had a substantial role in at least one.

I believe it reduces the ability to “perform” sexually. Which probably does nothing whatsoever to reduce the urge to assault and rape children.

No. The statistic is that 41% of trans people have at least attempted suicide. Horrendous, but not what you say.

No. Her records have never been made public.

Did they have access to her medical records?  Because nothing at all has ever once been made public confirming that she has XY chromosomes -- not that I think that should be determinative even if it’s true.

Trump didn’t know the difference between the Balkans and the Baltic. The chances that he has any idea where Sri Lanka is are nil.

My reaction to the comment that “none” of the series on Netflix are great was “What? Babylon Berlin is absolutely fantastic, and I still think about it, and can’t wait until the next season!” I even went and read the books.

Wasn’t he going to do exactly that, “soon,” in 2016?

As long as you’re willing to disregard her history of transphobia.

About a dozen years ago, not long after my transition, I was taking the 6 train downtown from Grand Central when an obviously inebriated woman walked up to me and started pointing at me and repeatedly shouting, “I know what you are! I know what you are!” I thought to myself, oh no, she knows, what’s she going to do to…
