Gender identification... Now I'm asking for opinions on this and I will call out anything biased or harmful to any specific groups of people. I want to know what your opinions are on gender identification. Here's the catch, state your opinion and explain WHY that's your opinion. I'll state my fact as an example: Just because you identify yourself as something you're not or wasn't born as doesn't make you what you want people to see you as. Reasonable explanation: Bruce Jenner was born a male, but got his gender changed and changed his name to "Caitlyn Jenner." He wants to be identified as a female though. As someone who is blunt, honest and realistic, I wouldn't acknowledge him as a female nor would I address him as one... but if he felt as if it was rude, I would address him as "Caitlyn," without acknowledging him as a female. Ok, please state opinions, no drama and if possible could some transgenders state their opinions as well? Let's all be adults here and see if we can understand this topic as a community.
I think that the transgender community is often at odds with feminism because one seeks to unbox what it means to be a woman, and broaden the scope of that gender expression as much as possible, while the other side tends to romanticize and crave "femininity". For example. Caitlyn Jenner wouldn't have made the cover of Vogue if she wasn't wearing make up, heels, a dress, etc. and probably wouldn't feel herself if not for those stereotypically feminine fashion aspects. - There was a somewhat viral ad called 'Run like a girl' or something, where young girls are asked to Run, throw, pose, etc. like a "girl", and they assumed the most efficient pose. Then they asked older girls to do the same, and their stances and actions became less efficient. More like what they'd seen of girls in the media, and elsewhere. I'm convinced of a tendency for transgender people to walk, compose themselves, run, talk, throw, etc. like a "girl". I'd honestly like to see an exception of this. A man drawn to, and engaging in womanhood in a non- stereotypical/patriarchy-created way. I think that might be something impressive, because often it seems like these two movements are running the three-legged race perfectly, like sisters. But in this one aspect I can only imagine them stumbling, and don't know if they will both fall flat, if one will tear away from the other and charge forward, or if they will somehow answer this apparent difference and finish the race together, as I hope they do.
My opinion. People can do what ever tf they wanna do with their body and I couldnt care less coz it dont effect me or my life
Let's say one of you sleep with the transgender, lol. Those who don't consider the possibilities that may or may not ever happen shouldn't be commenting.
Because this is confusing to me. As kids we are taught not to lie. In court we are told not to lie and to also swear on the Holy Bible. When do the lies stop? When we're all dead?
Im not afraid of anything. I only fear God. It won't happen wit me. What I'm getting at is people lie about what they are and their deaths are marked as "hate crimes." Now, here's the big picture, some guys would willingly sleep with them if they knew they were born guys. So what's the point in senselessly lying? I'm so confused about why everyone lies in general?
Well you shouldn't lie when you are about to get in a physical relationship,that I would agree but that doesn't mean like lgbt people in general are lying.
This isn't about LGBTQ people. Well, it's about liars in general and all of the dead transgenders on the news. We will never be able to prevent death, but we can avoid death. Stopping the lies is the first step. Actually if everyone stopped lying in general we could all get along better and make the world a much better place
Like I understand people aren't always proud of what they are born as whether it's low social status, poor, ugly, girl/boy, with a condition/disease. That's understandable, but life isn't about self-hate and looking for flaws within yourself... It's about self-love, loving yourself and doing what makes you happy. Example: Why hate who you are, when people will hate you for you for no reason at all. People won't love you for no reason at all so you might as well love yourself for who you truly are
Same thing basically. Your people are the original English. Us Americans are descendants of your people technically. (NOT including all of us btw.)
Why care? It's their body and life, let them do whatever TF they want. If they want to be identified as female, then what's the harm in calling them female or vice versa?
That is the most ridiculous exaggeration. And Adults who teach kids not to lie are hypocrites and the bible does not belong in court. I also don't see the point of swearing not to lie in court since ppl do it all the time.
