Trans people are generally reduced to nothing but our genitals. Just as a tip, never ask a trans person about their genitals or what surgeries they have had or will have. It's insulting because people generally aren't interested in cis people's genitals enough to bring them up in conversation.
In popular media, mainly documentaries, it's treated as the end goal of sorts and generally the documentaries are entirely devoted to the surgery itself. I've seen a drinking game for these documentaries and news stories. If you see a trans woman putting on makeup, you take a drink.
There's only one person with a mental illness here and it isn't me.Medically speaking, "transgender" are sufferers of a mental disorder called Gender Dysphoria, as, for example, diagnosed by the American Psychiatric Association in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition. The male and female genetic markers, XY and XX, are an unchanging fact, not a fluid state.
Unfortunately, instead of treating the disorder in children and/or letting them recover until as late as his or her mid-twenties, many "transgender" sufferers are further victimized through ideological, chemical and surgical abuse.
According to statistics, the "transgender" suicide rates in adults have increased even in the most "trans"-accepting countries like Sweden, which indicates that it is not the result of oppression or persecution but of personal conclusions by the victims that something is seriously wrong.
Why would anyone with reason and compassion want to encourage such ideological, chemical and surgical abuse, knowing that it is a mental disorder and that there is a high risk of suicide even in the most "trans"-accepting countries?
Do not misinterpret this as an attack on "transgender" sufferers. On the contrary, knowing the facts, this is to encourage the prevention of gender abuse, as well as the prevention of suicide.
Additionally, there is a strong evidence of hidden agenda with "transgender" propaganda being heavily pushed around the world.
See the following examples:
Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen - exposed as a secret transgender couple
Irrefutable proof that Justin Bieber is a woman
And there are many more such examples with celebrities and politicians. Search the internet for "transvestigation".
Finally, the American Statue of Liberty has been identified as sharing the same facial features as the statue of Apollo, a male figure.
It is difficult to attribute all of it to a mere coincidence.
Have a nice day.
Can it be me?
Man's physical body to a female's physical body, otherwise why need to transition?
Why do some trans seek psychological counseling? That transition.
Well, you wouldn't need to, but depicting it on the show could be a interesting way of exploring the fictional character and that part of their journey through life. Also to see how the transition would be undertaken in the future, both medically and within the society.
I'll admit to being fine with the character of Boomer in nuBSG being changed from a Black man to a East Asia woman. And the XO changing from a Black man to a White man.
The question was "would you hire a white actor to play a black character?" It wasn't about black face, Stewart (a White actor) was hired to play a traditional Black character. My understanding is he did quite well in the role.
Alice Kringe for one, her Borg greasy make up hardly produced a "beauty queen."
You are an insane sack of shit. Why do you keep coming back with this same pack of hateful lies. Every time you return, you'll be condemned and banned. Count on it.
Context is everything. The entire cast switched as a gimmick/twist on the play. No different than Fascist Richard III. So still not the same thing.
*Backs away slowly
You're thinking too cis-centric.
Why do you need to see the transition to understand a character is trans? It's a minor part of their lives. It makes far more sense to just have a trans crewmember who transitioned before the series. We didn't need to see McCoy going to medical school to see that he's a doctor, he just is.
Some do, so do some cis people. It's not a requirement.
They changed the character in those cases, that's different than hiring someone of one group to play a character that's in another group. Boomer in new BSG isn't a black man, she's a woman. The only thing she has in common with the original character is a name. MCU Nick Fury was written from the beginning to be played by Sam Jackson, mainly because Marvel Comics used his likeness as Nick Fury in the Ultimate universe and Jackson okayed it as long as he got to play the character eventually. It's not even the same issue, do you understand the difference? One is changing the character to fit the actor, the other is changing the actor through makeup to fit the role. Because I don't think that you do or you're being intentionally obtuse.
Intentionally obtuse then.
If you ever want to talk, just PM me sometime. I've dealt with gender issues myself.[/QUOTE]
Actually you can be transgender and not have dysphoria. But dysphoria is not a mental illness, it's just discomfort from being seen and treated as your assigned sex and it may extend into discomfort with your body being the sex you were assigned at birth.
Sex and gender aren't the same thing. Also chromosomes don't equal either. There are women who are assigned female at birth who have XY chromosomes, some have actually given birth. Biology is far more fluid than you understand it to be. Anyone who looks at facts will discover this.
The only treatment is transitioning because it never goes away. They aren't victimized by anyone but bigots such as yourself trying to pass off hate and ignorance as compassion and science.
Yeah, that's more bullshit. The actual study has been misrepresented. What it actually found was that medical transition (HRT and surgeries) were not enough due to social oppression and bigotry, like your posts.
But don't let facts and context get in the way of your delusions.
Because they actually accept facts.
The only thing I'm suffering from is your pathetic attempts to post bullshit. Are you trying to convince me and the rest of board or yourself? You're far more obsessed with gender and transgender people than the average person. Given how the most homophobic people have been proven to be repressed gay people, I wonder if the most transphobic people are really repressed trans people. They go obsessed because they recognize the same feelings in themselves.
LOL
Turn off your computer and seek help. No one but you thinks like this.
Umm... no.Have a nice day.
Yep, that's what I've heard from the trans people I know. One's a journalist and has actually written some really good articles about what it's like for a trans person to deal with cis questions.
There's a difference between describing a physical body as "male", and belonging to a "man". Many trans "issues" (I only use that word for lack of thinking of a better one) are very subtle, but the differences do count for a lot.
Thing with those characters is there was nothing about those original characters which said they specifically had to be a certain gender/ethnicity. Problems arise when either white actors use make up to take on the appearance of an ethnicity (black face), or when a white actor is cast in a role that has a specific ethnicity inherent to the part (whitewashing), such as Tiger Lilly (native american) in the most recent Peter Pan film.
I thought she looked hot, but that could just be me.
Skants should be burned, no one should wear em
Well, to be fair, maybe they would be if they were in question? It does seem that people have a fair amount of quantitative and qualitative interest in the body parts of cis people though maybe rude to bring up in casual conversation.
And he would be wrong to do so
Soren's society had no gendar, they were neither male or female (or were a race of hermaphrodites with both organs who knows) the fact they were played by real life human females needs to be ignored.
The only time you should be concerned with anyone else's genitals is if you're about to be romantic with them. Otherwise their genitals are none of your concern.
Actually it would be more daring if Soren was played by a nonwhite male actor.
