Damn, I LOVE Jelly Bellys, what a goddam shame. They unfortunately just lost a customer, though.
[QUOTE=God of Ashes;42658343]this is like every idiots argument against gay marriage.
"what's next? people will be allowed to marry dogs?"[/QUOTE]
you know the funny thing is "you may as well legalize pedos and dog fuckers" literally can be used against itself with only 5 seconds of thinking of a witty remark against it.
the examples are so massively different and about 2 unconsentables
but gay men consent and are old enough to know better
if you legalize hetero marriage you may as well legalize gay marriage I mean really how can people literally not figure this shit out
and this is why anyone that actually think that's an argument at all is basically completely stupid.

We should organize all transgender people to stop buying his jelly bellys, that'll show him

both of these ideas are terrible. that's such a tiny amount of people that it will literally mean nothing. and does anybody actually buy jelly belly's anyway? i haven't seen those in forever. the second thing you said is just dumb even as a joke congrats
Herman you fucking traitor
I don't hate people for being transgendered, but myself don't think it is really the best decision. I think this for two main reasons:
1. Shouldn't you be happy how you are born? If somebody was paying money to get a nose job or boob job I think most of you would be saying this. If one wants to crossdress that is okay I guess, but changing your entire gender when in the future these people could possibly decide they actually weren't fully decided could be a huge mistake.
2. It could be very misleading to others. How would you like it if you went to bar and met a girl and had sex only to find out she used to be a man?
[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;42655708]I really dont want to come off as an apologist, but arent restrooms split between sexes rather than genders? Correct me if I am wrong.[/QUOTE]
They are, but I'm seeing more and more places with unisex bathrooms available.

for the first one, it's not really a matter of just being happy with how you're born, because for transgenders it's more than just not having big enough boobs or a nice looking nose, it's like having your entire body be completely wrong, your body and therefore societies perceptions and expectations of you being completely opposite. for the second one i agree that's a bit of a tricky one, i think until transgenderism becomes more accepted it should be something you'd be open with if you're going to be having sex/a relationship. or maybe stick to trans* friendly bars, like how there are gay bars and stuff
[QUOTE=Forumaster;42658619]They are, but I'm seeing more and more places with unisex bathrooms available.[/QUOTE]
except if the facility wasn't designed that way, redesigning it would cost a fortune/cut a whole bunch of stalls therefor making lines to use the bathroom.
Why would you want to put money towards making people miserable.
[QUOTE=Rubs10;42656893]Does anyone have recommendations for jelly beans?[/QUOTE]
starburst jelly beans have always been and will always be the best kind of jellybeans
edit: even moreso now that i know that their competitor is run by a bigoted dumbass

Why would that bother you if you couldn't tell to the point that you had sex with her? if there was some actual reason to care maybe you'd have a point.
people should be able to have any beliefs they want, but if they arent mine they should be killed

no
it's extremely complicated and it's not a simple black and white answer. Some parents don't want, for example, genetically male student being on a female sports team and using a female locker room even if they identify as female.
Sometimes there are religious reasons for that, sometimes parents object. The point is that act disregards students other than the trans student.
the sensationalism is strong with this one. Both sides of this argument have valid reasoning and this guy can do what he wants.

more like "people should be able to have any beliefs they want, unless those beliefs discriminate against other people and make their lives worse, which is what this guy is doing by donating money to an organization that is actively and openly working to strip basic human rights away from a group of people"

some parents didn't want black students being around white students, some parents still don't want gay students being around straight ones. some parents should grow up!

LOL
being black or white is fundamentally fucking different than having a dick or not
[QUOTE=Whiterfire;42659048]LOL

but being trans isn't fundamentally FUCKING! different than being a different oppressed minority that people still found/find stupid reasons to discriminate against.
Um, if I was a girl (especially), I wouldn't want guys to just come into the women's bathroom whenever they please, and then just use the excuse, "I'm really a woman inside!"

yes, it is.

well you're not a girl so why are you trying to speak for any? despite that, it's not remotely a matter of just saying 'oh i'm a girl on the inside!' it's something that requires a lot of meetings with a psychologist and a proper diagnosis

Exactly!
this goes back to those 'stupid reasons to discriminate' thing that i just said

you're saying being trans is the same as being black
I cannot find a way to express how stupid that is
I fully support gay rights but trans stuff is just too far for me. It's just too weird/unnatural and most of all pointless. I highly doubt there are people who ABSOLUTELY NEED to have their dick cut off to live a happy life. I just can't think of a logical reason they need to change genders, like at all
