If you have no problem with transpeople dont call them their wrong genders and call them trannies, it's insanely rude.
Please, people, stop agreeing with me then refusing to use their gender pronouns :suicide:

I myself have nothing against niggers but I wish the KKK was still allowed to burn the dogs on a cross.
Seriously, are you listening to yourself?

In Kirill's defense, he said nothing even remotely like that.

Maybe so but saying you have nothing against transgenders and calling them 'trannies' in the same sentence is just laughable.

Are you? That's exaggerating his point a lot. He used a word that he probably didn't know is that offensive, maybe doesn't get the pronoun thing either, but he didn't say anything about harming transpeople at all, just one specific individual.
It would be more akin to saying "I have nothing against negroes but I still think OJ belongs in jail".

How do you not know that the word 'tranny' is a derogatory word for transgender?
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;40653114]How do you not know that the word 'tranny' is a derogatory word for transgender?[/QUOTE]
Easily? Plenty of people come into every thread about it and honestly don't know. Maybe they've just never met anyone who's offended by it? It sounds like a normal slang term if you don't know what the people it refers to actually think about it. The word doesn't come up a lot, and the pronoun thing is totally understandable if you've never met anyone it would affect.

It just sounds like overly politically correct bullshit.
[QUOTE=Bredirish123;40653309]It just sounds like overly politically correct bullshit.[/QUOTE]
It's in the same boat as not using the correct gender pronouns for a transgender person
It's just sort of offensive is all
You transpeople sure seem to like to victimize yourself. I clearly said that I'm not speaking against anyone but Chloe, yet you're looking for things to get offended by.
[QUOTE=Bredirish123;40653309]It just sounds like overly politically correct bullshit.[/QUOTE]
its just the same as nigger was, transpeople die over that word
[editline]15th May 2013[/editline]
i will accept its use when a significantly lower percentage of transfolk kill themselves or ARE killed for being trans. people's last moments are filled with the word tranny
[QUOTE=TheDecryptor;40648769]On the contrary I'd say it's the perfect time to go public with this information, there's already been one suicide attempt and keeping quiet won't help stop any future attempts. Drawing attention to Chloe's mental/physical state should help her get treatment.[/QUOTE]
With the amount of hate going around the attention this will draw to her is likely to do more harm then good, remember how many people were trolling her before and times it by 10. Its true she need's help, but its hard to help someone that we can't even find, let alone get the real name of.
[QUOTE=Bredirish123;40653309]It just sounds like overly politically correct bullshit.[/QUOTE]
in my experience, when people call something "overly politically correct bullshit" they're usally people who don't wanna realize how fucking offensive and shitty something they say is :^)

[QUOTE=Tommyx50;40652168]The issue is, the guys who told the truth and blew the cap off of the story are under a tonne of shit because they revealed the motivation - Chloe is transgender and wanted a sex change operation. This isn't a case where her being transgender is "vaguely related" to the subject at hand, This is a case where the entire story pivots around the fact she was wanting a sex change operation.[/QUOTE]
He didn't have to give the details, though. He could have just said the car-accident story was fake and the money was going to go to an operation that was not treating something immediately life-threatening, but that was still causing her a great deal of pain and discomfort that he wouldn't discuss for the sake of her privacy.
I'm not saying this would necessarily have been better or worse than what he did, but he did have other options. No one actually lost any money out of this, so it's not like there's an obligation to tell people exactly where their donation would have gone.
[QUOTE=Tommyx50;40652168]Also, there are genetic differences between men and women other than the X and Y chromosones - there's a huge huge set of further differences.[/QUOTE]
Such as?

[QUOTE=Reshy;40654138]One of my transfriends has that, not the same way but she was born with male gentiles and hormones but has a uterus with no entrance. So what is she supposed to be? She's XXY.[/QUOTE]
Well, exactly. Defining people by what chromosomes they have etc. just leads to an awful mess. Treating people as they identify is the only thing that makes sense, quite apart from how rude it is not to.
[QUOTE=Tweevle;40651638]You people bringing up chromosomes do realise there are women born with female genitals and who go through female puberty [URL="Complete_androgen_insensitivity_syndrome"]who have XY chromosomes[/URL]? A lot of them don't even realise until later in life. Chromosomes are a pretty bad indicator of whether someone is a man or a woman.
If people who look like women, talk like women, dress as women, act as women are expected to act, identify as women, and for all intents and purposes [I]are[/I] women don't fall under your definition of what a woman is, I have to say that's a pretty useless definition of "woman".[/QUOTE]
