Just thought people should know that "tranny" and "shemale" are pejoratives.

I know 50% of you guys wont give a shit and will actually start using those terms more often once you google what pejorative means.

Thank you for enlightening us. You are so much better and smarter than us.

I apologize. I will just use "boy" from now on.

Sadly but not shockingly the young woman has been subjected to so much on line hate, including death threats and suggestions she kill herself, that she now is saying maybe she should have just accepted being miserable and hating herself her whole life. Do PapaG, MarAzul, Mediocre Man, El Presidente and other bigots consider this a great victory? That a 16 year old girl wants to kill herself rather than be herself? That she regrets being herself and wishes she could live a lie her entire life rather than getting death threats?

Bigot?

I think you are pretty off base here, and as far as name calling and personal attacks, this takes the cake/ Of course rules mean nothing when the owner of the site agrees with you. I am saddened and angered that you would think for a second I would want any harm to come to a person because of their race, creed mental disorder or sexual orientation.

admitting that I have lack of experince in this area, is the term "trap" unkind as well?
 
EL PRESIDENTE said:
He asked for all of this attention, including the negative attention that was surely to come from it. You just can't put shit on youtube and expect flowers and butterflies from the world. Reality is a bitch and this dude is living in a fantasy world.

Its his own fault for starting a youtube viral campaign and being an attention whore. This was all voluntary. When you make a public spectacle of yourself, you need to be able to deal with the negative consequences.

This "sob" video is just more of the same, just him and his fucked up shit whining and trying to garner more sympathy.

She should be mostly ignored by the world like any other homecoming queen, not subject to hatred.

You should take that advice to any opinion on a governor of Oregon? The world is full of opinions. Some keep their opinions to themselves and others are vocal about it. The ones being vocal are under the same prejudice as those like this boy that advertised to the world that he is a she and people voted him homecoming queen. Reep what you sow. Those that asked for him to die or stupid shit like that will have their own reconcilement.

He chose to make a spectacle of himself. Through social media/youtube and with the intent to make a big statement. The endgame here was to get on the national news and to basically have everyone pay attention to him. All of this, including the "sob story" is carefully orchestrated to garner as much attention and pity as possible. Disgusting, selfish attention whoring.

Why do you think they use them?

I used "she male" because I don't understand what to call him. I mean he isn't a female physically, but has all the characteristics of being a female. Since its "prejoritive" according to you and hoojacks; I apologized and just said "he" instead.

Not really. Not even close.

True, bigot is much worse. Happy to see CrandC, once again, responding to one of her posts where she blasts everyone for not believing the way she does. Literally the most two faced hypocritical poster on the forum.

You could say "she" or if you wish to use a gender neutral term you could say "the transgendered teen" or you could simply use her name, "Cassidy".

Make sure to include the quotation marks though.

hoop fam
 
I get the whole LGBT stance and equality but referring to him as "her" is .....weird.

No matter what he'll always be a man biologically.

He just now dresses the part of a female and takes estrogen shots.

Still a "him".

Or, you could say "the dude who dresses like a woman."
 
Also not shocking the "she asked for it".

A lot of high school girls want to be homecoming queen. Do all of them deserve vicious insults, death threats, and suggestions that they kill themselves? Or only this one?

For those who say she just wanted publicity (and therefore deserves abuse), do you have anything to back that up? Or are you just pulling it out of your ass to justify your ugly behavior?

Different situation. Most girls aren't nationally trying to get recognition for their achievement. If they did; they would be nationally criticized. In fact, many superstars like Amanda, Britney Spears, etc have had ridicule in the public eye.

You are just upset because it's to a fellow rainbow. I bet you can give a shit less if death threats were to a heterosexual female. I haven't seen you post about leaving Britney alone!

Nope. The issue is that women are subject to ridicule regularly. This is no different.
 
Bullshit, magnifier.

I have repeatedly defended women and girls of all sexual orientation against threats of violence and slut shaming.

I still am waiting for evidence that she was out for publicity and did not just want to be homecoming queen like any other high school girl. You give none, just justify abusing her.

Unlike Britney Spears, she is not a public figure (although now she may be). Incidentally I oppose threats of violence or slut shaming of public figures as well. Criticizing a singer for a terrible performance is, however, in order as long as criticism is of the performance and not calling her ugly names.

Not just ridicule, hojacks. This girl was told she should kill herself. That is way beyond ridicule.
 
Guess you haven't paid attention to idiots that told Britney to kill herself. How about those that said they hope Madonna died for her support of the gay community? Shit like this happens all the time.

If you don't have the skin for public spotlight, then stay the fuck away from it.

Well, except this is a guy who has explicitly stated that he did this to make a statement and had posted youtube videos with hundreds of thousands of views documenting this entire ordeal.
 
Magnifier, I refuse to get sidetracked on Britney Spears. Answer the fucking question. You said other girls who run for homecoming queen don't deserve abuse; does this girl? Yes or no? You said she is trying to get publicity, what is your basis for that? Has she said so? Or are you just saying it to excuse shitty bigoted behavior? Which girls and women "deserve" abuse according to you?

So instead of changing what seems to be acceptable behavior, we should accept it or just avoid public spotlight?

Seems like the easier option would to not accept the behavior of death threats, name calling, shaming (etc).

She said she ran to make a statement. I think that qualifies as trying to get publicity, along with the YouTube channel.

That does not excuse how she's been treated, by any stretch.
