The ones wearing more make-up than the Kardashians and dressing up as drag queens are totally being sexualized...
Ohhhh. Adolescents in general are being progressively more sexualized in a similar fashion. I haven't seen transgender children dressed up as drag queens I don't think, but I see all the time like 12-year-olds in a full face of makeup and flashy clothes. I feel so bad for them because they don't know any better and they're just open to more victimization by pædos. Not to mention becoming dependant on lots of makeup at such a young age is going to promote low self-esteem.
That just reminds of a terrible story that i find hilarious. One of my ex gf's little sisters was obsessed the book The Faults in Our Stars (which is a terrible book but also a best selling novel about two teens with cancer who fall in love). Anyway, my ex's younger sister was going on about how she wished her and her bf had cancer so they could be like the characters in the book. And she told everyone this. And then it turned out her bf actually did have cancer and hadn't told her. Das all, and if hell existed i'd be going there for laughing everytime i think of this story. Ty for tuning in
^ yeah, she's matured a bit since and is very embarrassed by some of the things she used to say (the cancer thing is sadly not the only insensitive, shocking thing she has said.)
Baby section? As in week or month old babies?? I haven’t seen any of that, but if I had seen that it would make me ?
But there's trans children? People are getting their child (under 16) gender change surgeries... and it's legal?
I’m probably wrong but I don’t think there are any who have had gender surgery. Rather they let them dress and live their life as the gender of their choosing.
Idk bout the irregular but it is definitely insensitive to people with the actual illness. If you think about it for even a minute, imagine how horrified her bf was, a guy who actually has cancer, to know that she wished they had cancer. That's very insensitive and terrible.
nah I still think it's a personal thing. They're not saying that cancer is okay or palatable. They're saying that they wish that deep tragedy upon themself for its tragicness. It's stupid but not offensive unless you see what they say as belittling the horrors of your own reality.
Too bad for them not understanding what the person says and their motivation for saying it. and I don't think that's really an offense... You aren't offended. You act offended for them... You try to stand up for them. When you ally yourself with their identity and attempt to shoulder their burden, this can also be seen by many as belittling of their condition. "I get it" "I can handle and help you handle the weight of your problems" The sentiment's okay but can you see past it?
^ I never claimed to be offended. I just think she was insensitive. I literally said I thought the story was hilarious. But yes, you can be offended on other people's behalf. I've had people be offended at things I have said about cancer because they've known people who've died of cancer, they were definitely offended and no belittling people with cancer. Likewise, I'm not black or latina but I do get offended when people hurl certain insults at those groups because I'm indigenous and the similar stuff is said to us, so. It's possible to be offended/upset on behalf of other people.
ah I see. guess if you feel like you're painted under the same brush of their accusation, then you can also be offended. Makes sense.
^ I do know sometimes they do take hormone replacement therapy to suppress puberty, but those are reversable if you just stop treatment afaik. Also I don't think anyone realizes how difficult it is for trans people to get both hormone replacement therapy AND gender reassignment surgery. It's not as easy as just telling your doctor you want it and then they give it to you.
