They are not guys though. They are transsexual women, regardless of the status of their genitalia. Do research before you go off spouting uneducated opinions.Reeve said:

Yeah. Tranny is a slur. You know that right? It's as bad as calling a gay man a "fag." I assume you didn't know this, unless of course you throw off the word fag all the time as well.Melion said:This is so amusing, you people are "offended" because of his tranny joke but not his other borderline racist jokes? Dear lord.
Alright, I'll say that the defining characteristic of a person's gender is their gender identity, which in the case of transgender people is as clearly defined as that of their desired gender as non-trans people's is of their physical gender, and that you cannot call a man who only sleeps with transwomen gay because of it.Warachia said:
Well, it's good we got this out of the way quickly.
Genetics be damned according to you. At what point does a Y chromosome factor in to your purportedly "educated" analysis? Subjective analysis = making shit up. STANDARDS - they're important. If "status of their genitalia" and Y chromosomes don't factor in at all, then there isn't a determining factor for gender. If that's the case, I'm going to claim I'm a black woman and take advantage of affirmative action right now. If anyone points out my light skin and penis, I'm going to chastise them for spouting off uneducated opinions.emmyisnotcool said:
And just to clear some things up:
I will NEVER commit suicide on another person. Also, I won't take responsibility for the actions of others. If transsexual people want to kill themselves that's their business. I will do nothing to stand in the way of people's rights of self-determination; whether that be their right to determine for themselves what gender/sexuality they will exhibit or whether or not they should be alive.
capcha: wild goose chase -- we're getting there
It'd be their fault for taking everything so fucking seriously. Me and my friends constantly shit on each other all the time and have a good laugh about it. It's only a hostile environment if you make it one.ErinBeee said:
Except you and your friends are friends. You understand it's all in good fun. A parent throwing their child out of their home at age 16 is not all in good fun. It's neglect. And it happens regularly because as long as people make jokes that deny what trans people are and treat them as freaks, it will continue to happen.CaptainChip said:
And where did Yahtzee say it was okay in the video? Oh wait, he didn't, and he was not saying that with the sign "no trannies", because that's a thing that happens in the game he was reviewing, and that game was also not saying it's okay.ErinBeee said:
In that case we'd need new names describing these sexualities because transsexual is a little too vague given all it can cover, at least in that I think we can both agree on.Zombie Badger said:
How? No seriously, how in what way at all is it harmful to anyone? Is he aiming it at a certain person? Is he seeking to ridicule someone for their sexual/gender identity? Is Yahtzee having a "soapbox" moment on how it is "wrong" to be transsexual?ErinBeee said:
No, he made a harmless joke on the internet and people are throwing a hissyfit over it for no reason.
Look up his black opps 2 review for white male/America bashing. We live in such a special snowflake society nowadays that the western world is rapidly turning into a joke. Instead of secret police we have white knights publicly shaming people for having different view than their own or for hurting their feelings.
Your rights end where my feelings begin.

Are you serious? What kind of fucked up logic is that? People joke about trans therefore they think it's okay to toss them out of the house. We joke about murder a lot. Does that make it okay to murder people? We have jokes about other countries, does that make anyone from a different country a lesser person?ErinBeee said:
No, jokes are jokes. You treat them as such. If you treat them as anything otherwise and kill yourself because of it, that's your own fault.
Really? Give me a link to a story where someone heard a trans joke and then decided to hate trans people because of it.ErinBeee said:
You're shouting out these things as if they're fact, when you have nothing backing it.
(edit: apologies for double post)
What I don't get is why is everybody treating it as a joke.
What was it that sucking off a pre-op trannie was gay right?
Well it is. That tranny may feel like a girl all he wants but if he's preop he still has cock & balls which means male.
And how much gayer then sucking a cock can you get?
And guess what even when he chops his cocks & balls off he'll still be a man because genetically he'll still be a man.
His own feelings and wishes have nothing to do with it, it's pure and simple biology.
