[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;34219742]Because she was telling people that she had a fake penis in her pants? Does that not sound like attention whore to you?[/QUOTE]
no it sounds to me that she was transitioning
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;34219720]
That definitely sounds like my second scenario.[/QUOTE]
Spooter already mentioned that she confided in a few people, presumably people she trusted. I don't think she expected them to spread it around the office but evidently it happened
like I explained in my post I don't think it's an appropriate thing to tell people at the workplace either though because things like this could happen
[QUOTE=Sanius;34219754]no it sounds to me that she was transitioning[/QUOTE]
really how fucking stubborn can you be?
at least you're not backpedaling but the way you're arguing you might as well just call me hitler and be done with it.
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;34219720]What idiodic opinions on transgenderism do I have? I haven't voiced my opinions about transgenderism as a whole, I'm looking at this as an individual case of an attention whore who happened to also be transgender.

Attention whore? Fucking really? Like it's been said, you're making wild assumptions as to how she told people. And honestly, which one sounds more plausible, someone shouting that information or someone confiding that and it getting passed along?
[QUOTE=Sanius;34218714]you don't actually know that. stop projecting
all we know is that one bigot complained to management and blew the whole thing out of proportion[/QUOTE]

Is there such thing as transphobia? What is there to be scared of?

[QUOTE=jaykray;34219818]Is there such thing as transphobia? What is there to be scared of?[/QUOTE]
it's called a misnomer that has entered common vernacular
[editline]15th January 2012[/editline]
[QUOTE=Spooter;34219840]Did you post that in the right thread? Because that's not what's happening here. Someone is (perhaps incorrectly) that they're a bigot because they're making ignorant sounding judgmental posts.[/QUOTE]
how does one post in the wrong thread if they've quoted someone in their post
[QUOTE=jaykray;34219818]Is there such thing as transphobia? What is there to be scared of?[/QUOTE]
-phobia
 
a combining form meaning “fear,” occurring in loanwords from Greek on this model, used in the names of mental disorders that have the general sense “dread of, aversion toward”
[url]http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/phobia[/url]
phobia gets its meaning twisted in words just like dementia gets misused, as well as a myriad of other words because that's what English does

the modern usage of "phobia" has been in use since the 1800s so it's a stupid question in the first place

the word transphobia is stupid and literally makes no sense
you love handing out dumb ratings but go look up the definition of 'trans'
[QUOTE=Sanius;34219902]the modern usage of "phobia" has been in use since the 1800s so it's a stupid question in the first place[/QUOTE]
Are you someone who has changed their gender?
wouldn't transphobia more accurately mean the fear of transversing things anyway?
[QUOTE=Kalibos;34219920]the word transphobia is stupid and literally makes no sense[/QUOTE]
do you not understand the concept of language or...
threads like this fucking piss me off
how much ignorance about transgender and transsexuality does this site really need anyway
when are all you fucks going to get a damned clue I mean come on
and now you're all trying to divert the debate away onto semantics so you don't have to face the fact you're being little twits about the main subject

You're still inventing words to supplement your argument.
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;34219932]wouldn't transphobia more accurately mean the fear of transversing things anyway?[/QUOTE]
homophobia would also "more accurately" mean fear of things that are the same but guess what
it doesn't
[editline]15th January 2012[/editline]

yep just like I invented the word homophobia

you especially need to go away ridge
transphobia is an established word with established meaning so don't try to pretend that sanius is just making it up
what makes you think your tired conservative opinions are welcome anywhere here anymore
[QUOTE=Sanius;34219933]do you not understand the concept of language or...[/QUOTE]
define trans

homophobia is a classical example of a misnomer though
Sanius, did you change gender?
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;34219984]homophobia is a classical example of a misnomer though[/QUOTE]
does that even matter?
I could probably rattle off a list of 10 words that we use "incorrectly" on a daily basis but it doesn't mean the things they represent don't exist
ever use the word "awesome"? of course, but have you ever used it to actually describe something that inspires awe instead of something that you just think is great?
[QUOTE=jaykray;34219991]Sanius, did you change gender?[/QUOTE]
absolutely none of your business
