Nope.
Also curious why you're okay with the outright transphobia in this thread? Is my sense of dress really worse than that, lol?
There isn't a single picture of my every day wear in this thread and the most reposted image is about 10 years old. The one witchy outfit being reposted is one I tend to wear for entertaining kids.
And you know what? People loved that outfit.
This is more what I look like normally -

Nope. And I'm not obligated to, or engage with anyone who calls me a crossdresser or hurls transphobic abuse to me. It's sort of beautiful.
"Freedom" is famously when vulnerable minorities are lambasted by fascists. Or err, was that fascism? I forget.
That's not what the 20+ Roma women I work with seem to think.
You can speak for yourself, but so can they.
The minute I'm not wanted I'll disengage. Fuck, it costs me 10+ euros a week, so there's that.
Dictionaries are not "objective reality" lol. They're a vague agreed upon list of definitions. If you want to get into it. Generally, when we want to look at "objective reality" we look to the experts in various fields, since no one person can know everything.
Also keep in mind this forum outright rejects the behavioural sciences in order to justify abusing minorities. Your relationship with "reality" is verrrryy hazy.
It's not just in Europe. It shapes where she is to begin with - not only did her parents reject her in part due to the conservative and often very religious nature of Roma families, she also doesn't have much(or any?) in the way of extended family. I don't think it's fair to say she's white for all intent and purposes. She's white passing, but it's not like her ethnicity hasn't affected her life at all.
Posting personal information with the intent of singling someone out for abuse/demeaning them.
Here's what you don't get - so are you. You are one tiny group, one small set of viewpoints - generally americentric, somewhat(or in some cases very) conservative. There is a whole world out there that may very well disagree with both of us.
In terms of the trans community - I interact with trans people more often than most of you here, including most of the other trans people. And I'm not all that fringe or extreme at all. Some trans people I know tend to isolate themselves a bit due to negative experience - I don't do that.
I don't let being trans define me either. I am a great many things beside that, and I rarely bring it up in every day life. But it's still part of me, and there's no point pretending it doesn't significantly affect the life I've lived. I don't believe it's shameful, and I don't believe in apologising for it or sucking up to people who attack people like me.
Also not responding to Sugoi because she's a huge hypocrite lol.
