On behalf of the greater reasonable trans community, I would like to apologize for whoever called you that. It seems to have become a common insult leveled by more militant transfolk (most likely the attention-seeking hipsters seeking safe-harbor under the 'trans umbrella').Denamic said:As I'm male cishet scum, [snip]
Oh, I'm not taking it seriously. It's just tumblr leaking some extremist vitriol here and there. I'm not going to draw conclusions on a large group of people based on the loud minority.Proto Taco said:On behalf of the greater reasonable trans community, I would like to apologize for whoever called you that.

Sure you could.VintageNHC said:No. If were a female, I wouldn't be able to grow a beard, which I prefer to have.
I apologize if I'm being a bit obtuse here... I'm just not sure what you're implying with the statement of militant transfolk there, especially talking of attention-seeking hipsters and putting trans umbrella in quotations. Because as someone who presents and identifies as the opposite gender, but is unwilling to get the bottom surgery... I get a lot of flack from what I'd consider "militant transfolk" for not wanting the gender reassignment surgery for various reasons.Proto Taco said:On behalf of the greater reasonable trans community, I would like to apologize for whoever called you that.

I think the OP has a little difficulty with English, one of his posts stated he's Dutch if I recall correctly. The Male: Yes/Male: no should be taken as your biological gender and weather or not you'd permanently switch.ORNSTElN said:I got confused by the poll answers. Is it saying "Male: temporary" and "Male: yes" as in you want to be a male or as in your a male that want's to switch?
