| We cross posted. See my post above. If they stated any of those things the context and tonality of the incoming statement would dictate how I would respond, or not. Intentions matter. If I am confused about the intentions I’ll ask for clarification. If they’re being patronizing that also tells me s... |

| That statement “you’re not a man” would intrigue me. Someone testing how much I care about their opinion of me. How much power they could assert over me. This is what all name-calling is. I would probably ask them if they needed a hug. I could guess something made them feel bad. They are trying to ... |

| I have no idea what a label feels like. I feel like myself. Saying “I feel like a man” doesn’t make sense to me because everyone’s different. It’s a meaningless statement. This is what I don’t get, people are uncomfortable being labeled which makes sense because the label is the binary part, people... |

| Thanks, I can’t imagine being afraid of anyone because of their sexual preferences, appearance or their dress style or whatever else. I was assigned to mentor the first ever openly trans person to go through West Virginia University. She still one of my favorite people. In the army for 30 years and... |

| Telling people there are racists everywhere when in reality racist are extremely rare is fear mongering. Telling children they’re oppressed when they’re really not is abusive. Telling children that the sins of long dead people rest on their backs is abusive. Where are children being taught that the... |

| I have a question. What does transphobic mean? Is it someone who is afraid of trans people? That seems like it would be a very rare phobia. If they saw an trans person on the street would they run and hide? Transphobic can mean a fear of trans people, but it can also colloquially refer to people wh... |

| Benjamin Boyce interviewing Blaire White on the current state of trans issues and culture. Blaire White might be trans, but she is transphobic. She has a long history of making fun of people who transition and don't pass enough to her standards. She was just fairly recently embroiled in a controver... |
