Well, it is really difficult because not just transphobia but also the concept of transgender identity is a western concept as well & many people outside of the west prefer other concepts

Well, since they do have those old concepts they might not necesarily consider them not normal. Prejudices exist everywhere, but I don’t think that they necessarily have to always target the same groups. We know that people who are attratected to the same sex were not always stigmatized for example , so why Should it…

There have been cases in which they have given away castles for free. Because the renovation & upkeep costs so much that was the only way they could even find somebody to consider it.

Have you ever looked at the upkeep of one of those castles? They might not be worth more than 1980sflat in Mayfair but i guarantee you it will cost you much, much more.

In many cultures traditional concept exists of something besides male/female, like muxe in Mexico, Hijra in South Asia or two spirit in some Native American communities. In some cases however this acceptance has been damaged by colonialism etc or they might always have been while in some way accepted also marginalized…

So everybody in the Middle East thinks they are better than you? Actually, This gives me an idea for a plan for peace in Israel &a Palestine that might actually work: the whole west should start with a war on hummus, declaring it sucks and ban it. i assume Israelis & Palestinians would look at each other, say “can…

I am kind of proud that I immediately thought, that’s Linda Sarsiur before gen clicking on the article.

Eh, he is still fairly young so I wouldn’t be surprised if he was still growing into his looks in most of the other pictures, which, if you look at the difference in hair length, seem to have been taken a while ago.

As If his life is going to be over and as if he is never getting work again- just look at this years oscars, with Casey Affleck winning and Mel Gibson being nominated- Casey has been accused of worse things then this dude and Mel Gibson has without any doubt done much, much worse things- and they both have very good…

Here is an economist article on it that includes the study as a source:http://www.economist.com/news/united-states/21716055-least-it-didnt-when-america-tried-1960s-kicking-out-immigrants-doesnt-raise

without the outrage he will continue to be paid to speak about how he is the perfect feminist and other men should be like him while treating women like crap. I and others find that problematic. Again, I don’t think anybody is saying that he isn’t the worst human being ever. But he shouldn’t be paid and have this…

But can you be outraged that someone who was lauded as a male feminist and made quite a bit of money and lots of admiration because of his image as a male feminist behaved in that way? We are not outraged because what he did was the worst thing ever, but because of the hypocrisy. I would compare it to a republican who…

Not if you have any concept of how difficult it can be to get out of an emotional abusive relationship. And this sounds like one, with the power difference and him never accepting her “ I am done” and her having to block him on all kinds of media to finally get out. Something that she couldon’t do before.

The woman said she tried to break things off multiple times, but was unable to. “He never accepted that I was really done, so there were several times where I tried to break up the relationship, but he’s my boss,” she said. “I have to talk to him every day, I have to answer his emails, I have to tweet at him. I have…

So ridiculous.

I kind of hope an intersex person takes them to court for it.

You should also look up Michael Hughes, a trans man who started taking bathroom selfies to illustrate how ridiculous it is that he is forced to use the women’s bathroom. inam just waiting for him or other trans men to be accused of being perverts for using the women’s bathroom when in fact they were forced to use them…

This is so ridiculous. Like, what does biological or anatomical sex at birth even mean? What about intersex people?

Kind of reminds me how I went to school (and had a crush on for a while) with a blond, blue eyed Turkish, Muslim.

But proper burial is a huge thing in catholic Ireland, so even if the only thing they did was to put children’s bodies in a sewer instead of burying them properly, it still would be a huge scandal.
