I was called a transphobe by a girl on my Facebook because I said I had no interest in dating trans women...
Shit, I get it, if you see trans people all as being like that, then why wouldn't you be a transphobe? Part of the reason I didn't decide to transition until now is because I didn't want to be seen as one of 'those people'
Originally posted by BlakemoreYeah, but I don't believe you. You've had outbursts about trans people a number of times, much like your old racist outbursts that you now apparently 'regret'.
Hey, if you wanna wear dresses and make up, go for it. I just think you should not cut apart your genitals and I'm glad you're concerned about that too so respect!
Originally posted by ScribbleWear whatever is safe. Just don't cut up your body for aesthetic reasons. But if you really want to, I won't get in the way. Your body, your choice.

So is this just the "let's all denigrate trans people for no reason" thread, now? Nice.
Nah, but to be fair I do think Caitlyn Jenner looks bad. This isn't because they are trans in and of itself. It's just...some men can't pull off the look. While there are others where you wouldn't know they were trans unless they told you.

caitlyn jenner is godawful ugly, and the plastic surgery she's had has only accentuated how bad she looks. i feel like thats a pretty universally known fact. ive never heard a single person say "damn caitlyn looks HOT and super passable!"
but calling an ugly person ugly isnt me "bashing" the trans community or whatever. there are plenty of [biological] women that i also find completely unattractive.
my opinion- dress up in whatever the **** you want, and call yourself whatever pronoun you want. but dont hate on me if i dont think you look good, because i shouldnt feel obligated to say that a trans person looks good JUST because theyre trans (not referring to you specifically, just making a general comment.)
Originally posted by SurturThis is true, but I don't see why we should judge a trans person by their ability to pass. Some people just don't have the build for it (plus Caitlyn was pretty old by the time they transitioned, which would make it way harder to begin with).

I think as long as that effort being made is obvious, it's in cruel taste to mock someone in that way. Some peeps are just unlucky.
Originally posted by DeadpoolXXXIt was more the use of "she" (in quote marks) than anything else, so I don't really have anything else to reply to, as I don't believe anyone has a right to dictate whether they look "good" or not.

Implicit doubt of the person's identity is just in poor taste imo, unless there's good reason (for example I would cast doubt on Jessica Yaniv as in my opinion they aren't trans, they're just insane).
