Okay then. I'm trans. You don't get to say what I find offensive and don't. You don't get to speak for me.
EDIT - Two and a half pages between this and her ban and she never replied. I guess lumping all trans people into one convenient group so you can climb atop them to reach the soapbox is more productive than actually being into this whole "personal respect" and "every voice matters" thing that the SJWs are usually wailing about.
Yo, I just saw this now.
First off, you're saying I don't define what you find offensive and how DARE that SJW tell ME what I FIND offensive this is the REAL OPPRESSION and the usual notyourshield bullshit, but... the problem is you're telling me I shouldn't find it offensive. I don't care what you do or don't find offensive, but the fact is that many trans people do. You can't just call everyone who is hurt by these remarks a "social justice warrior"and act like every cool trap acts like you do. There are any number of negative names for this trope, but you should know what I'm talking about. I don't represent every trans person, but you do so even less so than me. And I'm saying this is offensive on the basis of being trans - which it is. I'm not saying everyone will be offended. But that doesn't mean it's not transphobic.
A post before you agreed that Deadnaming was not a nice thing to do with someone. Then when I called someone out for it - saying they had no right to tell someone that they shouldn't be hurt for it because "words only have the power we give them"(which again, is bullshit, not a matter of opinion and we'd need to throw most of sociology out of the window for this to even work) you got all bothered about it.
I mean basically your purpose is to go "Hey, I'm trans. I don't find this offensive. Please continue doing this thing that almost every other trans person that isn't me finds hurtful."
This forum isn't just "anti-SJW", full on transphobic remarks, ungendering of trans women like Laverne Cox happens here and people criticising it are shot down. The problem isn't me here - it's that your self loathing is so deep that you're determined to prove yourself to people like this and distance yourself from people like me who actually support people like you and fight for you in meaningful ways.
The minute you make a mis-step, you end up the target. The moment you stand up for yourself, you get torn down. I've been there, I've tried to fit into geek communities like you have and been a "good"/self loathing tranny. I've seen it happen to a lot of people.
Also, the fucking Irony of using a Gatchaman Crowds avatar for any number of reasons I don't feel like getting into.
Also, I've had to stay up trying to talk Chloe down when she's been genuinely suicidal. She's part of a group of trans women I try to look after. I've seen how bad she can get. As someone with plenty of my own issues, it was very hard to deal with others at times. So I think I have a right to be pissed off when people make that job a lot harder.
