[QUOTE=T-Sonar.0;36102272]Love how I'm getting rated dumb for finding a term that is offensive... well offensive.
You guys are dicks. :/[/QUOTE]
Because you're being way oversensitive in this instance. You're taking it in a way that it's not at all intended.
[QUOTE=Skelmech;36102291]*stupid*[/QUOTE]
Yes, it doesn't at all imply that. You're being oversensitive.

I'm not rating your dumb. D:
[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;36102305]Then that's on the slate of ignorance and bigotry. Tumblr doesn't decide what any term means, just sayin'.[/QUOTE]
To be honest, I just cant make up a name without insulting someone since I can't tell from the picture are they trans or just crossdressing. The theme is pretty bodies with dicks attached to them and I'm pretty damn sure that people who enjoy viewing at them wont complain if these are called traps.
I will gladly remove any picture if the person in the picture wishes it to be removed.
Ugh, I feel bad now. It's like I caused this argument. Please calm down and all be friends together. D:
Please.

Uh. Thanks for taking what I said and replacing it with *stupid*!
And i'm not being oversensitive. I've had it used against me and so have a few of my friends multiple fucking times but since you're going to immediately dismiss what I said and go to ad hominem then I'm not going to waste my time with you.

Since you just quoted yourself I had to put something in the quote and it's pretty dumb. Just because some retard has used it as an insult against you does not mean they're using the term correctly and that does not make it bad when someone else uses it.
Here have a picture of me reading.

Love those pants.

I don't like trans and queer at all (the words not the people!)

Ugh. Its not just that some retard used it against me like that. That's what the term [i]by itself[/i] implies and putting that implication on trans people(that you're just dressing up and pretending or just a crossdresser) is fucking rude.
come and look at me

what did i miss
It's evident a few of the TG people in this thread legitimately have hatred for crossdressers and even have found it p. cool to look down their nose on them. That's fine, but if you've got to the point where you're harassing someone for over two pages for using incredibly common crossdressing terminology (yes it's common, no amount of postulating will change that, and the vast majority of crossdressers find the term positive. This thread includes crossdresses, which you've forgotten apparently.)
Seriously though what happened to Inufin's inexcusable. I'm disgusted if you think that going up in arms over a word that's found to be primarily positive among people is worth being offended enough over to harass someone to this extent. There is absolutely no reason to not make a new thread, one where nobody can say any word unless it's extensively reviewed by a tribunal of your liking, but this thread has two demographics, not one.

I fail to see what's harassing about pointing out she's using terminology applied only to crossdressers when that tumblr has pictures of transgirls that she posted. It's not hard to spot a transgirl. If they have a growing or fully grown set of tits then that's a warning sign that they're an post-HRT transgirl. Calling a transgirl a trap is offensive.

Yes, because it's basically saying they're still a boy but "posing" as a girl
We're not trying to harass her, we are trying to have a friendly arguement, we're not insulting anyone personally, and we just want to get our point across.

Don't get me wrong, I get this all. But don't you ever think "wow, there's hundreds of thousands of people who are transphobic and many more that would endorse violence against me, but I'm here complaining about another TG person's use of a single wrong word that I find trivializes people with gender dysphoria". This isn't the first time someone's been thrown to the wolves in this very thread for the using of a wrong [I]word [/I]. Words and intentions are completely different things. Inufin meant absolutely no harm by the post, you could have just said "there are some TG girls in there that are being misrepresented as traps, could you look into that" instead of getting all passive-aggressive on someone with ":|" faces. That's my point.

Infuin wasn't harassed, her blog name was nitpicked. And if you think ANY of us have a problem with crossdressers than you're an idiot. We've already stated trap is fine in reference to crossdressers as it is common terminology. We just don't like it referring to transpeople.

Now can this argument stop?

Not how I meant that and i'm sorry it came out that way, I'd just rather this whole thing stop because everyone's getting worked up over who finds what offensive. I don't want bad blood here and I'm sure no one else does.
