And then on the same exact site. [url]http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/jan/13/julie-birchill-bullying-trans-community[/url] What. Hope the bitch was fired to be honest.
[QUOTE]don't threaten or bully us lowly natural-born women, I warn you. We may not have as many lovely big swinging Phds as you, but we've experienced a lifetime of PMT and sexual harassment and many of us are now staring HRT and the menopause straight in the face – and still not flinching. Trust me, you ain't seen nothing yet. You really won't like us when we're angry[/QUOTE] lol
This is really stupid. I agree that transgender activists can sometimes be a little extreme (see: glitter-bombing Dan Savage), but this is just ignorant and needlessly cruel.

Seems like transphobia is still cool even if homophobia isn't.
Some people [I]really[/I] need to be set on fire. Honestly this sort of shit would look out of place in the fucking [I]Sun[/I] or [I]The Daily Mail[/I], but in the Guardian? Wow.

Ah yes, I already saw this earlier today, so fucking ridiculous. Also amazing @ [quote]we've experienced a lifetime of PMT and sexual harassment [/quote] Fun Fact: Trans Women have a MUCH higher rate of rape and sexual harassment than cis women. And those rapes usually turn into murders in the end.
The thing about the guardian is that nearly all the comment section writers are pants-on-head retarded. It's like they shunted all their awful into one, easy to contain section. Guess that explain why the one writer that isn't pants-on head retarded (Charlie Brooker) is so freaking cynical.
It looks like someone wants to get fired.
[quote]You really won't like us when we're angry[/quote] [IMG]http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m26qba4p771qcimw1.gif[/IMG] I'm still trying to figure out if this is satire or not

[QUOTE=Ray-The-Sun;39206757]The thing about the guardian is that nearly all the comment section writers are pants-on-head retarded.[/QUOTE] They really are. Prime examples are the woman complaining that the [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/may/21/shakespeare-universal-cultural-imperialism]International Shakespeare Festival has too much Shakespeare[/url] (because Shakespeare = cultural imperialism or something(?)), and that crazy [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2012/aug/11/devastated-by-my-sons-tattoo]mum crying about how her son got a tattoo.[/url]

[QUOTE=postmanX3;39206382]i'd say nice try, but that's not even remotely comical. (edit: i mean you're basically doing the same thing as the article. it's just as dumb and insensitive.)[/QUOTE] ok usually i don't give two shits about ratings but why is this so dumb? we all seem to be in pretty general agreement that the article's author is a bigoted idiot, so why is it funny when someone else makes a remark similar to her idiocy?

[quote]The annual Stonewall Awards at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London last night had their first protest in their three year history. Activists from transsexual, transgender and queer organisations from London, Liverpool and Manchester held a noisy protest against “Stonewall’s refusal to withdraw their nomination of Julie Bindel for Journalist of the Year, a journalist know for her anti-trans opinions and writings.”[/quote] wow. the fucking Stonewall Awards chose [I]this[/I] person?
What the fuck am I reading?
[QUOTE=An Axolotl;39207085]What the fuck am I reading?[/QUOTE] A bigoted asshole with a persecution complex.
transphobia is a problem that's been really ignored i mean i've noticed even some people on fp are transphobic lmao
[QUOTE=AJisAwesome15;39207118]transphobia is a problem that's been really ignored i mean i've noticed even some people on fp are transphobic lmao[/QUOTE] Though, I usually define them as young kids who are trying to deal with their own issues, in a rather misguided way.
[QUOTE=dogmachines;39207005]One is an intentional joke, the other is just bigotry.[/QUOTE] Both still cause misconception. That's harm. It's not necessary.
[QUOTE=Skelmech;39206549]sigh. i really fucking hate people. i think so? its written rather poorly. and if she is a feminists then ugh. im tired of "feminists" who only care about ciswomen ffs.[/QUOTE] They're a radfem. A branch of feminism that thinks transsexuals are oppressing women somehow. It's like a terrorist branch of a religion, or any other crazy-ass branch of a political movement, they give the rest of the group a bad name. And apparently they don't know that 'cis' is a fucking [I]scientific[/I] term. "Oh, I have no fucking idea what I'm talking about, and cis MUST come from syphilis, because they sound so much alike, so it's okay for me to use derogatory terms." It's like a white guy going "Did I just hear you mention bread? Crackers are a type of bread. You nigger."

The Guardian's standards are slipping really fast.
[QUOTE=AJisAwesome15;39207118]transphobia is a problem that's been really ignored i mean i've noticed even some people on fp are transphobic lmao[/QUOTE] Case and point: [QUOTE=don818;39206389]Not another shit storm. FP stop it with your TS & TG fetishism. It's annoying.[/QUOTE] "Stop annoying me with your non-problems slightly inconveniencing me from reading news threads on a gaming forum you silly TS/TG fetishists. God you people are so inconsiderate!"
[QUOTE=AJisAwesome15;39207118]transphobia is a problem that's been really ignored i mean i've noticed even some people on fp are transphobic lmao[/QUOTE] I never got how you could be annoyed at somebody for trying to have a happier life instead of practically living a lie.
[QUOTE=Patriarch;39207211]The Guardian's standards are slipping really fast.[/QUOTE] It's only one bad article, plus it's the observer not the guardian, even if they're linked.

[editline]13th January 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=carcarcargo;39207242]It's only one bad article, plus it's the observer not the guardian, even if they're linked.[/QUOTE] Observer is the Sunday edition of the Guardian
It's like Tumblr on here.
