real americans will never accept their acknowledging reality agenda!

I look forward to a time when openly discussing reality isn’t seen as indoctrinating people. Gay people exist. It’s a fact. Talking about that truth in a classroom setting is not promoting the “gay lifestyle.”

Depends on the crowd and the Bride/Groom. I would find it funny if someone else did that, I would never do that (but I don’t want to be the fucking center of attention any more than necessary anyway).

So much this. Fuck all these people who think that every shitty thing they witness happening to anyone needs to immediately be shared on the internet.

Bride’s inner monologue:

Would going in for the garter and coming out with a giant pair of granny panties be considered funny or unacceptable? I’m asking for a friend.

Whoever documented her shame and then put it on the internet deserves an eternity of public humiliations. I hope they crap themselves at work or on the metro or while on a first date. The universe should right this wrong. And I hope in their moment of embarrassment they realize that what they are experiencing is…

No.

Thank you. Comparing this to transgenderism is just silly. Gender has biological components; race does not. This is a social practice, not a medical necessity. We already have a word for this, and it’s “passing.”

a man feeling like she was meant to be a woman BIOLOGICALLY is not the same as a white woman feeling like she can identify with African american history and their struggle. Identify with it so much that she wants to turn into a black person to co-opt the racial struggle that they face.

By the time I was done reading this person’s posts I was in tears. I can’t tell you how horrible it feels to constantly have people picking at your identity and trying to invalidate it. I hate it. It makes me angry and it makes me horribly sad and it makes me want to give up on transition altogether sometimes.

Don’t take it personally. While there are thousands who think like this, there are more and more who simply don't give a shit how people identify and would rather the world just start respecting one another. :)

No one is saying women with gynecological problems aren’t women.

I didn’t invent the TERF label; you realize that’s what Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists call themselves, right?

FFS, what do anti-trans “feminists” think trans people should do? Not transition? Transition but not be feminists? What if you are born a woman but with a deformed/absent uterus or vagina or breasts? or with some kind of dysmenorrhea?

Yeah - As a nearly 6 foot tall former rugby player and competitive lifter, for most of my adult life I bore a much closer resemblance to mid-80s Bruce Jenner than I ever will to someone who fits a more traditional feminine ideal. Although I have dealt with my fair share of criticism from the Elinor Burkett’s of the…

I actually think there are probably some important issues dealing with assumptions of what is and isn’t “feminine” and to be honest, sometimes narratives like “I do all these stereotypically feminine things, of course I’m a woman” make me a little uncomfortable about what that is unconsciously defining what a woman…

I think the real issue here is that trans women provide a perfect target for cis women to vent their impotent rage against the patriarchy. That is, it’s much easier and safer to say “Caitlyn Jenner doesn’t know what it’s like to be afraid while walking home alone at night!” than to fight against the patriarchal…

Gaah, thank you. “I am so much more aware of my emotions; much more sensitive emotionally (and physically).” <— what I took from this is that now Chelsea feels free to acknowledge and express her emotions as opposed to years and years worth of society telling men that they need to be strong and do everything in their…

Ain’t nobody got time for TERFs
