A citation for how perpetuating hateful rhetoric that inspires the continuance of hate against a marginalized group causes violent harm to that group...Is World War 2 good enough, or do you need something more modern?

Honestly I don’t see what you feel as ignorance, so much as just not having frame of reference for it. Ignorance is a lack of knowledge, usually willful. Seeking to understand is the opposite of that, and I respect you for wanting to understand. One minor correction though: One doesn’t want to become trans, one is…

Already got one, thanks. Guess what? Someone perpetuating the mindset that people like me are okay to abuse, which landed me personally in the hospital his summer by some bigot calling me a “sissy faggot”? Not actually funny.

Your ignorance of racial issues is so blatant it’s almost cute. Get an education.

cishet is more than just “straight”, that’s why we use it when discussing trans issues. It describes both sexuality and gender identity.

Your last point is completely correct. I don’t excuse bullying, no matter who it comes from, but you asked what I thought and I was honest about it. It’s probably the one genuinely complex part of his whole special, and the complexity has nothing to do with him.

Do tell, what do you feel “the majority” feels about trans people, if not what I said? At their most charitable, they don’t feel we deserve equal rights. For those in political power they want to push things like bathroom bills (which presume that every single trans person is a sexual predator, when not only has no…

See, that literally doesn’t work for the same reason that gay people can’t just decide to be straight. I was born as a transgender woman. There are physiological differences in my brain that cause portions of it to grow and behave more like those of a cisgender woman than a cisgender man. Science has found several…

It’s quite alright, thank you for looking for answers! It’s the shortened form of “cisgender, heterosexual”. That is, someone whose gender identity aligns with the sex they were assigned at birth, and whose sexuality is considered straight.

I did watch it (honestly, I could’ve just read the transcript if I didn’t accept what everyone I know and trust was saying about it, but I’m enough of a bitch to be so fed up with everyone saying I can’t have an opinion without watching it, that I’d put myself through intentionally getting bullied just so the…

Honestly? Let them. Six months of edgelords wailing and gnashing their teeth kills fewer trans people than his special remaining online, and being seen as acceptable material in today’s culture.

Judging by the hate I’ve gotten for daring to speak out against Chapelle, as a trans woman, that is exactly what they’re upset about. They want to pretend they’re okay with trans people, but they also want us to be quiet, and keep ourselves unseen when it comes to perpetuating hateful mindsets. 

More than 100 years, for sure. And any time I see or hear someone being shitty to black people, I’ve got your back - always have (I’m very much a child of my parents, who marched as allies with Dr King, and Grace Boggs). Hell, I chose my current job specifically because it’s working at a company that directly addresses…

Are you or any of your friends trans? Because I am, and “humanized” isn’t on the list of things I felt about what he said, after watching it.

You’re biracial and you don’t get how hate speech can hurt? I have no knowledge of what races your heritage is comprised of, but having seen enough people called “coconut”, “oreo”, “banana”, “Uncle Tom”, and so on from the non-white side of their bi-racial background, plus knowing the racism I’ve seen from white…

Thank you for this comment, it made me laugh after wading through the toxicity of the people who responded to mine. Such ignorance of hate from a self-identified bi-racial person - which puts him in the crosshairs from bigots on both sides of their racial makeup (plus white bigots, in case neither side of their racial…

The assertion that promoting hate speech culturally causes no real harm ignores the 1930s-1940s in Europe, and most of American history, but go ahead and feign ignorance, it really makes you sound edgy and cool.

Not that he’ll read it, but to continue what I was saying:

Sadly, it isn’t safe to ignore them. The permanent damage to my left eye is evidence of that.

“I can’t be racist, I’ve got a black friend!”
