saw a car crash once (just a fender bender) driver of one of the cars was pregnant... pretty much first thing she said as she got out of the car was i’m pregnant and crying.... never seen anyone so distraught in my life... least not in person

Or, you know, not hunting for a beat down.

Nope,icky blue dress was the one calling for violence,and careful what you wish for and all. Yep yep yep.

Ben Sisko remained Ben Sisko throughout it all, though. You can make him a victimized struggling writer in the 1950s or the man whom even the Prophets obey, and he is always Ben Sisko.

Worf was Negro adjacent. He probably faced more oppression and ostracism, as well as fetishism than a regular Black person, being the first Klingon to be accepted to Starfleet Academy. You know there was a #BeckyWithTheBadGrades who was a legacy and “experimented” with Worf. “Is it true what they say about Klingon…

“It’s satire” would have worked if she hadn’t concluded the bit by saying we should stay home and ignore them.

(It’s also kinda interesting to see the criticism of the Fey criticism coming down to “well, y’all just don’t understand satire.” Like people who called her out just aint smart enough to get it.)

I mean what I don’t understand is so what if you’re “tricked”? I don’t get it. Don’t understand why this is supposed to greatly upset a person. You found another adult attractive. Get over yourself.

I know that.

The thing that get me is that people say “not disclosing trans identity is hiding something” but surely if you are trans you the opposite of hiding, you are living your truth. The sex a person is genetically born as doesn’t matter, a trans person is living the absolute truth of who they are and what gender they are.

You are absolutely a disgusting excuse for a male. You’re not entitled to a damn thing other than what someone chooses to tell you.

Oh please.

What exactly is it that you’re looking for? In this hypothetical you bring up is someone supposed to say “Hi, my name is X and I’m trans” as if it’s some new acquaintances business?”

That’s really my thought on this. I honestly don’t want to debate “trickery” because there are women out there dying. Men are killing trans-women. There is no excuse for that, so I don’t need to debate the context of the comments made on TBC.

you keep saying that like science backs you up. It does not. biology, zoology, genetics, etc all in favor of shit you find gross. sorry, buddy

So you’re derailing the discussion at hand to talk about small portion of cases where a trans woman MAY have tricked someone? Even the cases that I have read where it appeared trickery was involved only received that narrative because the trans woman was dead and the killer’s (who is the only one alive to tell a side)…

If you don’t get out of here with that BS. You know d@mn well in general dudes aren’t having full conversations with cis women or trans women before jumping in bed with them. Most men aren’t even telling their sex partners the truth about themselves, but EXPECT honesty in return. You seem to be just refusing to…

no, wtf are you assholes talking about. transgender people have no obligation to share their medical history with anyone, just like you aren’t obligated to let anyone know you’ve had polyps removed from your ass

Aaryn, thank you for this piece and for sharing yourself with us.

I’m seeing a lot of people out here saying some pretty ignorant shit. So here are some true facts.

The first comment thread in this post is a bunch of anti-trans bullshit. So let me say this, fuck all of you who think that trans people are out here “tricking” you. The end.

As if men haven’t reacted violently when a woman discloses her gender identity up front. Or rejects their advances. Or looks at them funny. Or...
