Yep, it was also an argument used against female equestrians riding astride (which is especially funny because the sidesaddle was actually a pretty late invention and women were riding astride for thousands of years, and also you'd think that just looking at anatomy men are the ones who should be riding…

Transgenderism is not equivalent to sex change. Why don't people get this? Is your entire gender identity rolled up in your fucking cock? If you got castrated tomorrow, would you consider yourself a woman? There are TONS of transgender people who don't modify their genitals.

she didn't go to a comedy club though.

I mean, is the gear-shift in a different place in Saudi Arabian cars?

But not when they're passengers.

I'm a big fan of the current trend of victim shifting. Forget the mistreated transgendered individual, will someone please think of the intolerant people?!

Let me guess, you're the real victim of discrimination?

It wasn't okay when Michael Richards went off on a black audience member, dropping racial slurs at them. What the fuck is happening here, Kotaku, that so many people think that THIS was okay just because he's a comedian? That's not a fucking excuse now, and it has never been an excuse before. This is transphobia, pure…

he apparently said "it" and "thing". It was no mistake. You don't call any human being "it", not even by mistake

Also, if someone dresses like a woman, presents as a woman, behaves like a woman and wants to be addressed as a woman, what is the benefit of addressing them based on their biological sex? What information does that give you? Unless you're trying to get in their pants, it really shouldn't matter at all.

Transgendered people have some of the thickest skin you'll ever see. They deal with this kind of shit daily and still continue trying to realize their true identity.

Why the hell do people have to be such asshats? Not just in the video game industry (although quite a lot seem to congregate there) but anywhere? I just don't understand it.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt, my body is ready.

Wait, between the ages of 22-24 with a Master's degree? How does that work? I get that international standards are a little different and if you jump IMMEDIATELY from your undergrad t0 your graduate work you can maybe be done by 24, but still....

Is there a story about how WOMEN feel in China about this? What happens in the heads of girls who are approached as such?

I've had this conversation with my partner several times. I'm a firm believer that women should be in the NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA, if any want to.

Wrestling is one of those sports where the typical differences between male and female participants are largely irrelevant, especially since it's divided by weight class. The differences in body types creates distinct differences between what the participants can do and what their competitors need to do, but it does…

Isn't this a possibility when wrestling other boys too?

Make them wear a cup, which they probably are doing anyways for protection, and ya know make them learn that touching a woman is not an inherently sexually stimulating act because women aren't inherently sexual objects, which they should probably be learning anyways.
