Woman mistaken for transgender harassed in Walmart bathroom - Polidicks

[QUOTE=CAPT Opp4;50334381]Might've been mentioned before, but that liberal attitude kinda makes a video like this seem a bit misguided, eh? [video=youtube;9FhMMmqzbD8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FhMMmqzbD8[/video][/QUOTE] I love it when people take perfectly good Depeche Mode songs and twist them to fit their ideas when they probably already wrote a goddamn song about it. The original song would be best for the article in the OP tbh.

The kind of people boycotting target are too poor to afford it anyways

[QUOTE=proboardslol;50335545]The kind of people boycotting target are too poor to afford it anyways[/QUOTE] They're passively boycotting Target by only going to Walmart.

[QUOTE=TestECull;50334821]This is precisely the thing that makes me not in favor of these 'you can use the one you identify with' laws. I knew it was gonna happen the moment I first saw news of such a bill, and hey presto, here it is. In a walmart, naturally. These sorts of measures are good in spirit, but in application they're only going to cause more problems than they solve.[/QUOTE] As opposed to the harassment they would get if they looked like/were dressed as the gender they identify as but were using the bathroom associated with the gender they were born with?

Seriously, I'd be willing to bet that the person doing the harassing looked less feminine, not that it matters. You'd have to have gone off the deep end to pull this shit[/QUOTE] I don't get you could think she's a man. Shee lacks the telltale man jaw and Adam's apple that always outs MtF.

[QUOTE=Howlthrug;50335659]They're passively boycotting Target by only going to Walmart.[/QUOTE] Like poor white trash go shopping anywhere else

Seems a whole lot of dumb overall regarding these bathrooms. It's just a place to take a shit/piss who cares about your gender really. [QUOTE=Saxon;50335943]Like poor white trash go shopping anywhere else[/QUOTE] Oh wow, didn't know you had to be trash and white to shop at Walmart. Where does the poor black trash shop at?

[QUOTE=fudge blood;50334463]Like, wtf. She looks like a cutesy girl. How can anyone be this retarded and go "This is most def a man." Get over yourself, it's 2016. Fucking psychos.[/QUOTE] What exactly happened to accepting criticism? If I walk down the street in pink kneehigh socks then I'm judged, and I'd be stupid if I though otherwise. Girl's masculine, should fix herself up or face social judging - just like everyone and everything else in the world.

You don't get to dictate whether or not a woman gets to used the womans bathroom, nor should anyone.

What, should we just have it so women must abide by a dress code in order to get recognised as such? Get real

I wish people would just get over all this bathroom nonsense. Just take a piss and get on with your day. Nobody's bothering you.

[QUOTE=OutLawed Blade;50336245]You're being sarcastic, right?[/QUOTE] If nobody were to judge anything, everyone would be the same - literally. Every piece of art would be a blank piece of paper, because it couldn't be judged or analyzed so there'd be nothing to provoke the reader with. Everyone would dress the same, have the same haircut, because why express yourself if it's not to be given a reaction or visually represent one's inner self. Hell nobody'd be good to judge so one's inner self would be as fascinating as a frozen potato, because no personal preferences could be established. She's chosen an appearance that she prefers, and apparently without pre-judging it's possible consequences. I've done the exact same, with my coloured hair, jeans without knees, and leather jacket - Why can't she accept the faith she's chosen while everyone is well aware of Newton's third law in a social perspective?

Why in honest fuck does transphobia still exist? What is this, the 1950s?

This woman was harassed not criticized, how you think being flipped the bird and told she doesn't belong as criticism is beyond me. Part of criticism is it has to be constructive and this wasn't constructive at all, it was entirely hostile.

It's hard for people to formulate an opinion on things that literally have no real meaning.

This is not uncommon attire for women. At all. She also does not look masculine. Maybe if you squint, but I fail to see how you could honest to god confuse her for a man or a trans woman. Like for the love of christ how on earth is wearing jeans and a t-shirt grounds for being booted out of a public loo

[QUOTE=ChronoBlade;50336296]Why in honest fuck does transphobia still exist? What is this, the 1950s?[/QUOTE] Gawsh, it's not like people have valid critiisms of the whole transgender stuff. Everyone that disagrees with me is an ignorant normie that should go back to the time that I think is the worst time EVARRRR, the 1950!

Merely being an asshole to somebody because you dont like how they look is dickish by any standard, let's not forget that. Even if somebody walks down the street looking like they escaped from the circus, the sensible person wouldnt walk up to them and start being a dick, would they?

Come on now that's not too hard. Being a [insert anything that doesn't affect you or anyone here]phobe is pretty dumb.

Your point is that she is being judged by the general public, but if you paid the slightest attention to the audio of the video you can hear basically everyone but the police backing her up on this. Your argument holds no weight here. Hence why I was utterly fucking baffled by the sheer insanity of trying to turn a case of harassment to some kind of philosophical debate

You're saying people should judge each other otherwise everyone is the same? Nevermind that one post back you implied that girls shouldn't dress like the girl in the OP because they'd face social judging for it. So does this imply that they should dress conservatively or "traditionally"? Don't these two posts contradict each other?

People aren't writing a metaphorical autobiography to be "analyzed" when they're getting dressed, at least not to the extent you seem to think they are. For some reason you seem to think that judging somebody is inherently the same exact thing as analyzing something for its meaningful artistic or intellectual content. A lot of times judging somebody's appearance is actually nothing more than just being a jerk to somebody because how they look doesn't appeal to your personal preferences or arbitrary ideas about how people should dress. This is no different with you right now.

I remember a magical time when you were only an ass to someone because they were an ass to you first. Thooooooose were the daaaaaays.
