Yes, basic reading comprehension is hard.

That would be preferable to assuming, by far.

Sadly, many who are commenting seem to agree that she should be dehumanized, misgendered, insulted, and denied agency.

And yet, what the 'comedian' said is being defended by so many gamers on here that it's clear his viewpoint is representative of what Chastain Anderson is referring to.

Looking at her Twitter, this is sadly very true.

It's actually more valid, since using the surname to refer to someone is standard journalistic practice.

Yes, but not offensive to trans people. Offensive to bigots.

Well, not to weaken your argument, but there is this thing called 'informed consent' at least in regards to HRT. Informed consent exists largely because those years of therapy can often act as a form of medical and monetary gatekeeping.

But she's not a neutroi, agender, etc, she's a woman. So it is derogatory to her. And just because you like 'it' doesn't mean 'it' is a universally accepted pronoun for anyone of a non-binary gender.

Err, no... that's 'transvestite' that's listed as offensive there.

Someone tried to explain to me that I don't hate her because she's rich, only because how she's a privileged asshole. Nope, I hate her for both, too.

the whole picture is that he's an utter POS and that people ignore that because the find him funny or like some other part of what he says. i find that a lot of people who defend Savage defend him because, by extension, they share some of his fucked-up beliefs. and i don't meant by extension in the sense that it's…

Quit dissin on rhinos.

Thank you - I know there are things like the now-defunct Google Answers, but I don't think that funded original research, just research in the sense of digging for other people's research or collating answers, etc. And I think the social element would be another good addition, since then if there are a bunch of people…

Because the story I linked to isn't just about one girl or one school. And even the first paragraph states, "The Taft Educational Complex, in the South Bronx, started a boys’ wrestling team in November." Seriously, I'm done arguing with you about this. Get the last word in if you want, but you are wrong.

Heh, like the article says, "Avoid those motherfuckers. Guaranteed creeps, all of them."

Believing that touching a girl is inherently arousing sounds like a justification for being a total creep, no?

I kind of wish there was a socially-funded research group to study these kinds of things. Like one that people could submit questions requiring research tom questions could be vetted or rejected, and then people could vote with their dollars to get it funded. Or something like that.

No, you're just really bad at reading comprehension. Your previous comment of, "Even the team the person this very article is about joined a team that was, by her own account, not established and advertised a boys' team, but a team made up primarily of boys." establishes that. Frankly, you don't seem to be arguing in…

I just did. Repeatedly.

See the article I posted, that describes such a thing repeatedly.
