Sorry that I use words that are new to you or that you may have not known outside of tumblr.
Why are you apologizing, there is no need to though you could have just used trans instead of non cisgendered but that's besides the point.
Cis is the opposite of trans.
it took awhile when i was first introduced to it, it's like NT for autistic. I just see no point in using it in the common idiolect as the majority of people are cis. It's like how Homosexuality comes up more then hetrosexual.
As much as it can offend you or me, Cis people or NTs(it doesn't, our stimmns tend to piss off others people with ASD, majority rule ASD would be stupid) are the majority of the populous.
It seems pointless to me, it's like when I ain't calling you an NT.
PS: Never visited tumblr and I really don't give a shit about peoples petty issues with this site.
That's nice, the place is a mad house, otherkin, rad fem and a lot of weird stuff comes out of there. And I would be K with it if they weren't so violent with their statements. It's one thing to live in peace and be weird and another to use it as an excuse to attack people.
Violence drive people apart and can radically charge two groups, as long as tumblr remains doing as it does any person legitimately trying to fight for human rights will be dogged both by tumblr and anti tumblr.
I'm going to have to stop you there. I don't think this can count as harboring any hate/ill will towards transsexuals.
Trap refers to anyone man that appears to be a woman, androgynous person. It doesn't mean transexual at all. Transexual(f in m) people can androgynous yes, like "who smiles at death" but they can be of any body type of form, bulky, fat, masculine and the like. and in this case i would argue that She who smiles at death would be a trap, sexually she's still a man (unless some mardu sex switching magic went through), it's only her gender that is female. Though I'll concede to no quite understanding thiseunuch , there's a lot of people far more violently impassioned/educated on the topic then I. Something about the vagina monologues being sexist because it excludes women without vaginas, not my thing really.
and two transphobic posts up to the post you quoted.
I'll concede Mr freeman wasn't quite as ...... well expressed as he should have been, he was certainly misinformed from one level at another I get the feeling he was trying to argue something from a different level. seemingly more against the people that believe gender is only a social construct. Either way he tried and I can't begrudge him his foolishness, freewill is an illusion and all that jazz.
And I also see some people jumping to the defense of those.
I should have defended that other guy after. but seriously I don't see a lot of that.
Sure, tell me how people don't give a shit about trans to "a point where (<- this helped the whole thing make more sense to me, )" they pull out condescending rhetorik whenever people are not bashing 'dem trannys. Like when people use proper terminology and they ascribe that to some sites they despise.
Condensing rhetoric can be a bother, some people can be rather full of themselves but others just try to speak what they see is the true. It's all subjective, more so on the internet as the lack of tone and body language leaves people to create their own meanings and things can go quite off the handle. I'm certain the lot of them mean no offense just be straight and honest and they could concede to rationality and good heart.
But there is something I know for certain, people don't like violence against others unless someone has done something perceived as wrong and I don't honestly think people actively want harm done to trans people, I would have heard of the stories of the states declaring a semi religious war on them in the westboro area if you catch my drift.
At the very least it isn't high enough in the public consciousness to be newsworthy and we live in a progressive state.
Honestly I think people could be forgive for shortening things as well, heck I would say it is foolish for people to harbor any ill will towards someone that points at a statement and says I find that most commonly abused here. Sites like 4chan, tumblr, etc,etc exist in our public mind as something for a reason. They hold an idea. they symbolize people, ideas, concepts. It's all integral to how the mind works, we recognize patterns,attribute the abstraction to something that seems to be the cause of it and let fly. For example tumblr has things like the otherkin, is the worst offender of using cis/cishet(often for no good reason and in a manner that sets back any person lobby for trans people at all) and is likely a part of the reason we have those terms in the public sphere.
Or for the bleak opposite, /pol/ which we know as the crazy conspiracy theorist of teh 'chans. We refer to uncle /pol/ as a nazi, he's know for redpill and the like. whenever someone says something rightwing and crazy they tend to get refereed to >>>/pol? for a reason.
