watch out buddy, if you're not trans, the opinion police is gonna come to get you.
cute.

question: if ya'll take all the slurs away what the hell am I supposed to say? checkmate, social activists.
stuff, YOU GOT ME


if I'm not replying to your post it's because this thread is moving too fast, I had more than a page happen while I was formulating one of my larger replies

i'm certain i'm just misunderstanding what you're trying to say, but if you're implying a widely-accepted political concept centred around liberty and egalitarianism is commonly followed as a result of simple immaturity, i think possibly that's not an extremely sound viewpoint?
I think he was just referring to the fact that the young adult demographic is generally left of center

can you stop or something?

it's kinda hard to follow an argument when you're trying to continue some lame joke instead of contribute to itthe latter
Agreed completely, the amount of trolling that's being accepted as OK in this thread is astounding

How can I be sensible? I have TRANS FRIENDS!!!

His post kind of meant that he has no issue with people being transgender. Why are you being so petty?

At this point saying anything in a certain tone will be perceived as a slur

I meant more along the lines of young adults and adolescents these days lean more towards the left

cute.
I honestly can't tell whether you're ignoring my real arguments because you don't have a response, or because you've stumbled on the fact that I am white, cis, male, and middle-class, thus rendering everything I say practically non-existent.

yeah sorry i realised that after i thought a bit harder oops

No, it's quite alright. I apologize for not being more clear, because I can see how you would originally think that.

Except I'm not trying to get you mad, I'm honestly trying to get you to think about what you're saying.

99 out of 100 white people agree: white is the best race!

Hold on... that doesn't seem right... ok you have to be doing this on purpose, that wasn't even tangentially related to race. i was saying that just because we're not the subject of the opinion doesn't mean our opinion doesn't matter. where the HONEST forget did you get the idea that i was calling white the best race?

You completely missed the point of why I linked that then explain it instead of just mentioning his name

Nothing says radical like
  • trans people are people too
most of us would agree...
  • the overwhelming scientific and medical consensus on the treatment for gender dysmorphia is correct
what exactly are you trying to imply here
  • businesses shouldn't discriminate against people, even if said people are homoloveual
last time this happened the entire forum shat on the business
  • people with autism do not deserve to be ridiculed all the time
afaik there is no autistic person in this thread so that's not relevant
  • generally, people's opinions on reclamation aren't productive to share
INCLUDING YOUR OWN
BLF is really not that liberal. If it was, we wouldn't have ridiculous numbers of unabashed transphobes stuffting on trans people in threads like this nobody is stuffting on trans people, they're stuffting on how some trans people feel the need to constantly point out how fabulously trans they are, and polls wouldn't show that the majority of the userbase thinks it's ok for a loving pizza parlor to discriminate against homoloveuals most of the BLF thought it was a stuffty thing to do but they were well within their own right
Do you deny that those supposed radical notions are what's causing people to accuse me of being a tumblr bogeyman? no, we're calling you a SJW because of how your militancy about those beliefs, not the beliefs themselves, and because you think that we can't possibly have an important opinion
Clearly. But my opinion on the best course of action to take to advance scientific knowledge of quantum physics is not something anybody cares to hear... or even one that I care to share. Because I don't have a loving clue. this isn't quantum physics though. discrimination is bad, yelling all the time about how discriminated you are is annoying.

Odds are that you aren't quite as qualified to talk about matters like this as you think you are. I know I'm not - which is why I haven't said anything about reclamation other than that it's highly unlikely that anybody participating in this thread has a sufficiently informed opinion to make that opinion valid (myself included) *distant sounds of a head hitting a keyboard* you've had an opinion this entire time, just like we are. the difference is that we think your opinion is equally valid as ours, just really stupid. you think our opinion is utterly worthless because we're part of the majority

ok, so amade

people can be trans
it's just we don't give a stuff, you know?
like if you want to be a different gender than your love, just shut up and do it
we want to just continue with our lives and maybe call you by the right pronoun or whatever but we don't want to be stopped every 5 minutes to be reminded of how transgender you are

Except I'm not trying to get you mad, I'm honestly trying to get you to think about what you're saying.
that's not going to work because you're basically just telling him he's an idiot every few posts
you're just making an ass out of yourself, knock it off

Alright, I'll stop

First of all, the post I responded to was nothing but trolling.

I really don't understand why people get so offended by the notion that sometimes their opinion isn't terribly relevant. In case this is somehow not clear, obviously not everything you say is invalidated by your demographics, but your demographics mean that it is highly unlikely that you have a relevant opinion on reclamation of loveuality slurs. And of course, most importantly: unless you're a member of a loveuality minority (or a group that hates loveuality minorities) reclamation has nothing to do with you.

I'm glad you realize that demographics don't invalidate opinions, and no, opinions aren't always relevant. But this is an issue that society - the entire planet - has to deal with together. Excluding people from this just because they are not the direct subject of it is absolutely a bad idea.

Alright buddy. Happy for you.
I don't think there's anything you could possibly say that would convince me it's normal to ask people about that stuff
pls try anyway

I mean it by all means could happen.

Just that the instance is pretty stuffty even if the person wasn't trans.
