MoronLessOff: Theaetetus: MoronLessOff: bobbette: I'm cisgendered and I have no problem being referred to as such.

Serious question, what is this? I've never heard the term and I don't think it's something I should research from work.

"Cis" as a prefix is the opposite of "trans". From wiki:
"Cis-" as a prefix of Latin origin, meaning "on the same side [as]" or "on this side [of]"

Thus, cisgender is the converse of transgender.

So, someone who does not question their natural born physical gender?
I have decided that cisgender is a pretentious word


It seems like a necessary word to describe the concept, someone whose physical sex matches what is typical for their gender identity. It's also not so much of a neologism as you'd think, it's fairly standard now. Undoubtedly people thought "heterosexual" was pretentious science language when it was first coined in the 19th century though.

Trannys aren't people. They're freaks of nature.

Bigots aren't people. They're worthless pieces of sh*t. And the worst part of it is, unlike a trans person, they chose to be what they are.


Trannys absolutely choose to be the freaks that they are. Please.

"Natural born"? I don't thinking being born in Kenya changes your gender, Ms. Orly.

/also, it's a giveaway that you're trolling when one post starts out with "Serious question" and the next post ends with "I have decided". So, you kinda shot your load early there.

RoyBatty: For every hating on FarkinHostile for what you believe to be his bigotry, in a thread, have you considered taking active opposition to somewhere in meatspace where it might actually do some good?

I am of course referring to the Michigan Womyn's festival which in 2012, according to the wiki, is still not allowing transsexuals or the transgendered in?

When you denounce FarkinHostile as a bigot are you acknowledging that the views he has expressed are truly views that the majority of people have held until quite recently, and may still hold, and that they are views that many feminists still hold, and that almost certainly, are views you once held yourself, except due to your own privileged experience over FarkinHostile of being educated out of them?

bobbette: Bigots aren't people. They're worthless pieces of sh*t. And the worst part of it is, unlike a trans person, they chose to be what they are.

1. Bigots are people, and your speech here is a dehumanizing form of hate speech.
2. Bigots are not worthless pieces of shiat.
3. And it is almost certainly not the case that bigots choose to be what they are.

I suspect bigots are taught to be bigots. And like most people, that early training can take a lifetime of work to overcome.

Isn't there a quote along the lines of you aren't born a bigot you have to be taught?

Anyway, I suspect it's pretty hard for people to first become aware of their bigotries, then to actively work to change them.

But if you compare FarkinHostile's posts in these threads with Bobbette's it's actually pretty clear who is more guilty of outrageously expressing hatred towards others.

bobbette: steamingpile: Behaviour outside what a species normally does

This is human behaviour. Variance in gender identities has existed throughout human history. And if you're going "species" wide you're going to have to consider that there are multiple human cultures where there are more genders than the male-female binary.


No this is animal behaviour, not just human, we are all animals at the core.

And the "more than just male-female" is complete horse shiat, all these subsets are part of the PC bullshiat to make us feel they fit in a category, Christ you people are stupid. You are either male or female there is nothing else.

"Normal" is vague and ambiguous. Many things are called "normal". Are you "normal"? Well, you're cisgender, but you're not Chinese, so that puts you in a minority population worldwide. You appear to have a full beard in your profile picture, and that's abnormal. You live in a first world country, and that's abnormal. You're on Fark, which makes you abnormal.
"Normal" applies to millions of varying traits, and thus, is at best inaccurate and at worst misleading. "Cisgender" is accurate, and a better term as a result.

Theaetetus:

So, you have no sympathy for people who are assaulted on a first date, because, in your opinion, they shouldn't have been on that first date at all? Is that realistic? Aren't you essentially saying that people should know their date before they know their date?


Stop it. Do not try to twist my words to defend lying and being deceitful. THAT is what you did earlier, and now try to paint me as unsympathetic to victims of violence.

And you know what? Yes, you should know your first date enough not to feel you need to LIE not to get beat up, tell someone where you are going, be in a public place and also check in with someone during. That is common sense for everyone, not just the TG, and it still isn't a reason to lie about your sex.


But a typical bar or club? Or are you saying that transgender people shouldn't go to meet people in common places like those?

I'm sure most TG people go to typical bars and clubs. I'm sure TG people dance the night away with unsuspecting partners and have conversations with them all night long. What I am saying is that if a TG person wants a really safe and open meeting with a dating partner, and not want the possibility of having to disclose their status to them with the potential of being rejected, there are plenty of places for them. Gay people go to typical bars all the time, but when they want to be with like minded people to hook up they go to gay/alternative bars. If a TG person want so to to a typical bar, fine. Don't hook up with a guy there and lie about being TG, even by omission, because you KNOW it matters.

Stop making excuses for deceit and lying. I will never condone it, under any circumstances.

You are correct, I do not tolerate bigotry. Tolerating intolerance makes for a less tolerant society overall, which Karl Popper called the "paradox of tolerance":

Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.

FarkinHostile: but I would consider it a MAJOR lie to find out the person I had been dating was born a male,


That's essentially the only legitimate thing you've said.
Yes. If someone is dating someone for more than a few weeks (or has had sex with someone) and not told them that they had a sex change, then they're not being candid, and people should be honest with their sex partners.

Aside from that one legitimate point, everything you've said is just spiteful vitriol directed at people who are choosing a life for themselves that has no effect on you, yet since you fail to understand their choices, you lash out in discriminatory rage.

And if you don't like the "Just chill the fark out" argument, then how about this line: People have a right to define themselves as they want. When Obama says he's African American, I'm not going to quibble about how he's actually mixed race. When a hermaphrodite with XY chromosomes says she identifies more as female, I'm not going to tell her she's wrong. Her sex may be male, but if she says her gender is female then I respect that.

What you're saying is like listening to someone from Cuba pronounce it "Cooba", and then correcting them and saying "no, actually, it's 'Cyuba' " -it's their farking country, so shut the fark up, and don't act like you know what they are better than they do.

Well, obviously we had a context of sex and gender here that you conveniently chose to ignore, so, yes, feeling like gender X in body X and being attracted to the opposite gender IS farkIN NORMAL.

No, sunshine. This is how it went, paraphrased:

"They lie so they don't get beat up!"
"Don't go out on a date with someone who would believe would beat you up for being TG to the point where you feel you need to lie to them about it."
"You are blaming the victim!"

I wouldn't go out on a date with a woman who I suspected might stab me that night for whatever reason, say because I'm Irish. I wouldn't go out with her and lie about not being Irish. I wouldn't go out with her in the first place.

Again. stop it. You are being intellectually dishonest. Not once have I advocated forced segregation, and the gay bars are operated by gays! Self segregation to concentrate like minded people is not even close to being a civil rights cause. You are looking like a tool for trying to compare the two.

Okay, so once more:

1) I make a post
2) Theaetetus responds to it with ad hominem, never once responding constructively to my actual argument
3) Since I looked in his bio and it still says he is an attorney, something he proudly puts there for all to see, I mention that his being an attorney seems somewhat in conflict with how he goes around always arguing with ad hominem
4) Theaetetus goes on to claim that having looked in his public profile that he put up there for all to see, it is somehow wrong of me to discuss what is in it.

Then he says:

"You are a stalker, stalking me" "You are a creepy creepy person"

and

"But i am not calling myself a victim"

And wonders why I suggest he go back to overbilling his clients and underperforming for them.

In the meantime, Theaetetus, you have not once addressed my argument, you have just taken a series of ad hominem attacks on me.

It's become pretty obvious that the human brain has an innate gender.

Mocking these people is like mocking people with cerebral palsy.

In this case, it sounds a bit more like that the issue was application.

I think that we're nearing the point where transgendered folks can compete in events like this. Maybe not for transgendered folks to compete in sporting events with segregated events, but for essentially contests about how good they look, drive on.

I don't care.

If someone says that they want to be called a girl, I was raised up to be polite and do so. If the "girl" is 300lbs of fuzzy bear who wants to be pretty, or a delicate flower who takes a lot of time with her makeup and hair, so be it. Knowing that they were born male doesn't change what they've asked of me, which is to be accepted in a gender role that they are taking on. Same with someone taking testosterone and dressing butch. That's their choice.

Does that make them more of a girl or man? Not so much, but gender roles are put on, and accepted. Be that girls who are a little bit tomboys, be that girly men, be that mixes and matches. I know some queens who you get them into a biker bar, they get aggressive and butch fast. Gender roles change. They shift, and I don't really care, so long as folks are happy and safe.

Ultimately, yeah, it's best to be honest with your relationships and with your partners. I'm not a fan of transgendered folks who want to "pass" as female or male without questions--because it's not safe for them, their partners, and it's not a great way to build on relationships, based on deception--be those relationships friendships or with lovers.

The panoply of human sexuality is wide and varied. Last summer I spent up in the mountains in Colorado, and we had our very gay Sioux boy, who loved his cowboys and trotting little Filipino men home, and he was girly as all get out, but Chaske never once tried to pass himself off as anything other than a very gay, very girly Indian. He found partners who adored him. He was loud, kind of annoying at times, confrontational, thoughtful, sweet at times, biatchy at times, brutally honest, and not an easy friend to have because of all that, but not because he was gay, or because he occasionally liked to dress pretty. I know women who like to dress male, take hormones, and love women. I know a few who do the same, and really like guys. The one thing to bet on in human sexuality, is that variation is the only rule.

But I think it's healthiest to be honest. Honest if you can only get off with someone in a horsey costume and being whipped, or if you've never had an orgasm from intercourse. Find folks who fit. Be honest about it.

Our girl from the article is pretty. Be nice if she could compete, but in the end, you have to be honest with who you are, not just the role that you want to take on. Folks get pretty quick that you want to be seen as a girl, and will treat you as such, but the "real" question is maybe not appropriate, as much as acceptance for being you--and there's nothing wrong with being born a dude who wants to be a girl for whatever reason.

jaspyrnyte: Bit'O'Gristle: Ya...um...no..i wouldn't. And yes..secondly, just because they cut off your man bits, and give you boobies, doesn't mean you're a "real girl". You are a genetic man, regardless of "how you feel" and nothing will change that. Do i feel sorry for people in this situation? The feeling of being born the "wrong sex?" Of course i do. It must be terrible. However, getting all those operations doesn't make you magically the opposite sex, mtf or ftm. I do hope that this person has found happiness in their new form though.

You're wrong. My mate is trans. f2m, and more of a man than you'll ever be.


Could you please explain how they in construct a penis from a vagina? The surgery baffles me.

bobbette: You sound like a hater, intolerant of other peoples views on the subject.

You are correct, I do not tolerate bigotry. Tolerating intolerance makes for a less tolerant society overall, which Karl Popper called the "paradox of tolerance":


But I don't feel your being intolerant of bigotry. I get the feeling you're labeling people with differing views on the subject bigots to give yourself ethical licence to practice your intolerance.

Maybe FarkinHostile is a fashion queen -- it really isn't fashionable to hate on black people for their genes anymore. Trans- hate is now all the rage.

While she might be atrractive, and have two servicable holes for me to poke, I still prefer women with naturally self lubricating vaginas.

FTA: "I regard myself as a woman with a history," Talackova says in the video, winking.

My first thought:

"A woman with a history? Above a certain age, aren't they all?

My second thought:

"I regard myself as a woman with a history," Talackova says in the video, winking."

Hmm, punny - what's her fark handle?

hubiestubert: Our girl from the article is pretty. Be nice if she could compete, but in the end, you have to be honest with who you are, not just the role that you want to take on.

The world is in a transitional period right now.

Can men compete in a women's track race?
Can m2f compete in a women's track race?
Can m2f compete in a women's beauty pageant?

Why do we have women's beauty pageants at all?
Are women's beauty pageant's more for women or more for men?

Beats the hell out of me.

Gotta be careful about transitional times, but they can be interesting if you survive it.

FarkinHostile:

Stop making excuses for deceit and lying. I will never condone it, under any circumstances.


So are you against anyone lying for any reason? What about just not disclosing all information?

/from my limited understanding..they remove the testes, and cut off the penis. then, they turn the penis "inside out" and push it into the "mommy area" where it should be, then then construct some labia to appear as if they were female genitals. Not sure how good they look, ive never been brave enough to google it.

If you identify as a woman you are a woman, Whether you have a penis or not. Stop all the hating because you cant understand the lifestyle. If you have a personal relationship, the TG has the right to tell you or not tell you. You do not have to disclose yourself as an asshole but you are one. Keep up the bigoted work asshole. Yea you farkinhostile
