Transilience - The video of a 6 foot 6, 350 Pound, Non Passing, Queer ,Feminist, economically challe - General

[QUOTE=FlubberNugget;41608300]Gender and gender identities are pretty much wholly a social construct. It may be something someone can choose and something someone cannot, but we do not know enough about it to be 100% sure.[/QUOTE] no, it isn't. if you're born male, you are a male. if you're born female, you're female. it's not that difficult to understand. If I'm born white, I can't "choose" to be black.

Just like you'll ALWAYS be white, but thats really not the point. [QUOTE=FlubberNugget;41608300]Gender and gender identities are pretty much wholly a social construct.

[editline]27th July 2013[/editline] LGBT isn't meant to represent only sexual minorities, it represents sexual and gender minorities. When is the T ever left out?[/QUOTE] there are quite a few times where it sure as hell does. And I find that silly that people do that. \ And, see Medicmans post as to how T is left out.

Fat things deserve to just die

Yep, people excluding transgender/sexual individuals from equality processes while supporting sexual minorities is really backwards. I agree entirely. [editline]27th July 2013[/editline] Although I have the slightest feeling that Medicman doesn't support anyone that isn't heterosexual on that note. Just a hunch.

I hope he isn't one of those fucking idiotic "Gays are ok but trans is SICK" lol this just in, trans people don't effect your lives people. Bitch about something more important.

Reminds me of Eric Wareheim in drag.

I'd rather have sex then gender.

good enough for a poke

This thread is just plain terrible, holy crap. There goes my already shitty mood. :<

We can't go a day without someone doing shit like this. This thread is going to be a shitstorm.

Hey look gender debate!

I wonder what the OP was doing looking for videos like this...

Non Passing, Queer, Feminist, economically challenged, AND Transgender? It's like tumblr personified

[QUOTE=Doomish;41609914]Non Passing, Queer, Feminist, economically challenged, AND Transgender? It's like tumblr personified[/QUOTE] hahhaHA im gonna rate this funny

[QUOTE=thisispain;41609925]hahhaHA im gonna rate this funny[/QUOTE] oh cool thanks

facepunch is transphobic as fuck like, moreso than expected [editline]27th July 2013[/editline] okay, you people are being insensitive as fuck holy shit

[QUOTE=J!NX;41604885]whats wrong with queers? Queer. [editline]26th July 2013[/editline] ok jesus christ I couldn't take it[/QUOTE] i think it's time to take a break

I don't get how there are so many apparently anti-trans people in this thread. FP usually will swoop in and bitch them out really fast. [QUOTE=TWPTooth;41610410]i think it's time to take a break[/QUOTE] I think its time for me not give a shit about a few dumbs and get over it.

I think its time for me not give a shit about a few dumbs and get over it.[/QUOTE] because most of FP are white knights and will only defend "pretty" trans people, they'll still point and laugh at those they deem ugly

[QUOTE=FlubberNugget;41608353]You're confusing sex with gender. Try again.[/QUOTE] No he's not that's the point. If you're born with "female mind" (as in you'll identify yourself as a female) then you are a female. Just sometimes your body will not be adequate to what you actually are.

[QUOTE=Judas;41610477]because most of FP are white knights and will only defend "pretty" trans people, they'll still point and laugh at those they deem ugly[/QUOTE] I think you might be confusing jokes with serious posts, because thats what the vast majority (especially in this thread) are

[QUOTE=Kyle902;41609877]I wonder what the OP was doing looking for videos like this...[/QUOTE] I genuinly wasnt looking for another classic "facepunch shitstorm" I just thought "this is an ineresting way to look at life,I wonder what FP's opinion would be as the comments were off on that video

I don't care if she is transgender feminist woman, but I can't stand fatness. You don't need to have photo model's weight-to-height ratio, but this is just... Ugh

[QUOTE=matty928;41611453]I genuinly wasnt looking for another classic "facepunch shitstorm" I just thought "this is an ineresting way to look at life,I wonder what FP's opinion would be as the comments were off on that video[/QUOTE] which is why you use the title of your thread to insult the person in the video by implying she's not a woman. You literally proved the entire point of her video by reinforcing the idea she's "weird" because she's not a "real woman™". [editline]27th July 2013[/editline] backpedal more pls

[editline]27th July 2013[/editline] backpedal more pls[/QUOTE] Hey I aint backpedaling,I still think she's weird as fuck and if you want to change your gender thats YOUR choice no one elses and that I support, but to say shes a 6 foot 6, 350 Pound, Non Passing, Queer ,Feminist, economically challenged, Transgender Woman,Shes just taking it too far,and that i believe is wrong.

I know this is simplistic, but... Live & let live. People's chosen identities and trivial personal behaviors should be left up to them. I understand there's absurd flaming from both sides, especially as there will always be extremists, but I see no reason for it to hit such a nerve with some people.
