Words That Are TRANSPHOBIC, And WHY.....

Imagine that hating fuckers..... "You're such a Tranny", or "Who has that Tranny look".... made the list of Transphobic vocabulary...


Color me unsurprised....

2. Ahhh... You See ... There Is The Rub.....
Edited on Tue Nov-29-11 03:19 PM by queerart
If I used the adjectives that they have personally earned.....


The haters would still be here merrily posting, and I'd be banned.....


Now, dirty ********* (or any other nonstop vulgar word spitting verbiage) works better for me.....


But alas, "hating fuckers" will have to do for the moment....






(edited, as the post I answered has been deleted, along with the "word" I addressed from their post... not to say that I don't have a mouth like a sailor.... but it was a bit over the top.... even for me...... well, for today anyway :rofl:....)

5. Hearty recommend
Asking about someone's status ("what are you really?) or intentionally misusing pronouns is declassé and downright rude. It makes one wonder what sort of (shocking lack of) upbringing some people had.

6. A common one is when mean, ignorant bigots in commercial
establishments, etc. use pronouns to deliberately mock transfolk.

For example, a salesperson, grinning mockingly at a FtM man, "Can I help you, "MA'AM"?

Or in the case of a MtF woman, "Did you find everything you were looking for, "SIR"?

9. I *HATE* the Miller Lite commercials with a passion!
They always use the "you really need to question your man hood if you do this, this, and this, and drink our competitors' light beer."

Seriously I'm ready to move beyond this crap. :puke:
