I just dont get why everything has to go down that road.

“x, is as bad as saying N**er”
“hitler killed the, x”


Everything bad is compared to Slavery and the Holocaust now. While everything good is Ghandi and Antiquity.  Honestly i dont know shit about Ghandi,  but i do know India has a major effort to get people to stop shitting in the middle of the roads and dysentery is still a thing there :cookiemonster:

Oh and they have a class of citizens deemed “untouchable”
Don’t know if i would use india as a good example, for like anything....

Transgender and transsexual people exist in undeveloped societies and have existed throughout history and prehistory. Two-spirits existed in precolonial America, the priestesses to Cybele existed in the ancient greco-roman world before being crushed by the rise of Christianity, and India's Hijra caste has existed for hundreds if not more than a thousand years. The terms "transgender" and "transsexual" are the only things that are exclusive products of developed societies, and the lack of those terms at the time did not stop the Nazis from including trans people in their final solution.

There is little argument that tranny is a slur, but I don't personally find it as offensive as being willfully misgendered by somebody who should know better.





the thai called them lady boys, does that sound better?

everything is  a slur to someone that desperately wants to be a victim

I call myself a tranny but I'm not comfortable with cis people using that word. Ladyboy is a culture specific to Thailand that has very little to do with foreign analogues and "shemale", IMO, is even worse than tranny, thanks to Janice Raymond's politically devastating 1978 "feminist" screed, Transsexual Empire: The Making of the She-male, in which the case was made successfully to many governmental authorities that trans women only transition in order to infiltrate women's restrooms for the purpose of rape.

Lol wtf. Ive never understood that line. Just go to the bathroom you feel most comfortable in. If you look like a dude you aren’t getting into the womens, simple as that. No one cares if a chick wants to go in the mens though :lol:.


CIS makes me think starwars, and if a TS person called me a sis, how i assume its pronounced.

:loldongs:
Oh boy......
thats just asking for a fight.


To me that is just short for sissy, which would be like the most offensive way i would refer to a Homosexual or Transexual person.

I find the term "cis woman" a lot more palatable than the term "real woman", etc. I'm sorry if being cis makes you feel like a sissy but honestly I prefer having that word over not accidentally making you feel like a sissy.

The course syllabus employed a standardized canon of theory that began with Plato and Aristotle, then jumped to modern philosophers: Hobbes, Locke, Hegel, Marx, Weber and Foucault, all of whom are white men,” wrote the students. “The syllabus did not include a single woman or person of color.”

The students espoused their concerns surrounding the white male dominated material and suggest that simply assigning these authors without the inclusion of minority thought is not acknowledging “the other 99 percent of humanity.”

“These courses pretend that a minuscule fraction of humanity — economically privileged white males from five imperial countries (England, France, Germany, Italy and the United States) — are the only people to produce valid knowledge about the world,” wrote the students.

“The white male canon is not sufficient for theorizing the lives of marginalized people. None of the thinkers we studied in this course had a robust analysis of gender or racial oppression,” continued the students. “They did not even engage with the enduring legacies of European colonial expansion, the enslavement of black people and the genocide of indigenous people in the Americas.”


What do you think?



White European males, by and large, are responsible for much of the fundamentals aspects that shaped and built the Western World. Not black women from Timbuktu. If they want to study subjects about other random influential people, I'm sure there are courses on it. There are womens studies, there are scandanavian textile courses for crying out loud, I'm sure if they actually cared they could find what they wanted - but that's not the point here, the point is that they hate white men, and want to see them crushed into subservience with politically correct charges of white, Christian, male guilt. Sexual guilt, religious guilt, racial/ethnic guilt.

These students are politically correct rabble rousers with not a shred of anything worth complaining about.

Many of them are likely taking loans, with no plan of repaying them - just hoping for "government forgiveness", and are completely oblivious as to how the world actually works.

You'll find no major disagreement here. The students from the article come across as total douchebags.

why would you label someone cis/cisgender when you dislike labels yourself,
why would you discriminate and show so little tolerance when you want people
to show tolerance to yourself. your statement seems to be approving of
anyone not identifying as the sex they are to use the term tranny or
transgender but even homosexuals that dont identify as a different gender
are disallowed from saying it because it's offensive to you

either it is offensive or it's not, if it's not then stop playing the
victim, if it is then you need to damned well be offended when ANYONE,
regardless of sexual identity uses it because any other way it's just your
means of discrimination against others, your refusal to be tolerant of
others, often times that stems from anger, if that's the cse then you need
to find a way to let it go before it consumes you, it will dictate your life

and feminism rears it's ugly rape culture head again, they're too ignorant
to see that they perpetuate it, that they are the ones that demean the real
rape victims and are the reason that so many dont come forward

it's simple, if you dont like a label then dont identify as a label, stop
referring to yourself as a transgender, dont refer to others as such, call
yourself a lady and identify only as that and act as one, not as a victim
of a war on gender because that war is in the heads of the permanent
victims, a few retarded fundies and the ignorant. the ignorant can be taught

are you teachable? can you refer to me only by my preferred gender pronoun
of glorious and majestic, mayonnaise covered woolly mammoth with many god
like qualities and a penis that has caused the ruin of a thousand cities.
I'ma get facebook to add that one so I can finally be recognised

"Cis" reminds me of star wars because it doesn't make any sense, like that article or this derailed thread.
